    Oh no liberals didnā€™t like a movie! Cry me a river!

    I donā€™t care what critics think. I enjoyed the movie. Form your own opinion and donā€™t expect others to think for you.

    While most of the movie was just eh, the take aways were worth the price of admission.

      Hold on a sec, let me see if Iā€™m translating this correctly.

      Liberals hate this movie. Critics hate this movie. Therefore, critics are all liberals.

      Do I have that thought process about right? Do you think that there might be any other reason that a movie criticā€“people who have a professional obligation to watch and critique filmsā€“might not like this film? Or is the only possible reason that they didnā€™t like itā€“despite whatever they wroteā€“is because theyā€™re politically liberal?

      What youā€™re saying is on par with claiming that the only people that didnā€™t like Battlefield Earth are people that hate Scientology.

        Why would I care if critics hate something? Are you someone that needs to be told what to like?

        I am making no such claim. Iā€™m saying I enjoyed the movie. I donā€™t need a critic to tell me to like or dislike something. Iā€™m an adult. I can make up my own mind.

          ā€¦Because itā€™s expensive to go see a movie in the theaters, and going to see something thatā€™s probably going to suck is a waste of time too?

          I pirated ā€˜Borderlandsā€™, and I still got ripped off. Knowing that ā€˜Borderlandsā€™ was only a slightly bigger pile of shit than ā€˜Reaganā€™, why would I want to waste the time and kill the braincells to figure out that the critics were right about Reagan, too?

            I enjoyed Reagan. I think it was well the 5 dollars.

            Had no interest in borderlands. It looked like garbage.
