I think the approach that people like My Cocaine have taken to it (laughing) is the best one. Getting seriously worked up over them is useless, not to mention trying to attack the reviewers on social media.
Dunkirk Official Reviews Discussion
I wasn't talking about Dunkirk reviews. I was talking about my experience with negative reviews from people that sneer at popular artists for no reason. Though I've been ill all day and just logged in and read all the backed up pages and I think someone did mention that there's a review in the 30s that's yet to be added to Metacritic.
Well I've also read reviews that say The Slate and others are sub 50 but I'm not seeing it, unless they just aren't posted yet or there's some sort of weird West Coast lag going on here...Chrolan wrote: Re-read the post, slowly.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit though; The Slate writers are pieces of shit and relish being contrarians it seems
Slate's review was actually rated 100. Slant's review is a 1.5/4, so it will be a 37-38 score.lcbaseball22 wrote:Well I've also read reviews that say The Slate and others are sub 50 but I'm not seeing it, unless they just aren't posted yet or there's some sort of weird West Coast lag going on here...Chrolan wrote: Re-read the post, slowly.

It's fun seeing all the forum members who haven't posted in a long time coming out of the woodwork. Glad to know you're all still alive. Icbaseball22, I don't think I've seen you post since TDKR days. Or maybe you were there for Interstellar too, I can't remember. Anyway, do we know how much that troll review will take the Metacritic score down, or not really since they give different publications different weight in the score?
Probably drop it 2 points max. I'd guess just 1 based on the weighting.Hustler wrote:It's fun seeing all the forum members who haven't posted in a long time coming out of the woodwork.

I was around a bit for Interstellar too; frankly my interest was not highly piqued for Interstellar either until reactions from screenings and reviews started coming in, but I was a Nolan fan (though not NolanFan member mind you) long before Nolan rebooted/revolutionized Batman/Superhero films and I will be one long after regardless of the genres he dabbles in.Hustler wrote:It's fun seeing all the forum members who haven't posted in a long time coming out of the woodwork.

Just watched the 2nd trailer on Rotten Tomatoes and combined with the incredible praise the critics have been laying on the past couple days I'm getting quite pumped!
As for the Metacritic review, I was just checking to see if it would even be posted cause there's at least a few Nolan films that I don't believe Slant made it on MC (ie Inception) but it looks like this writer will.

Also, this is something that I noticed, but you seem critical of Mr. Styles to such a high level (calling him out when he lies, saying that his music is subpar, and a few other things that I can't remember) that if I would never take you for a fan if I was judging solely by your posts alone.
What is up with that??
