The new Charlie's Angels movie flopped. Why are men being blamed for it's failure?

[Bald1]

Better if she looked like Lara Croft, yes or no?

Angelina or Alicia? Vikander was way better an much more believable than the original bobble head with bolt-ons.

YOu know what would have sold tickets. A tasteful and artistic lesbian 4 way with the 4 leads.
Nothing prints money like synchronized scissoring.

the first song I wrote for my high school band was called synchronized scissoring.

 

[Oeshon]

"Look, people have to buy tickets to this movie, too. This movie has to make money. If this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies."

while there's plenty to disagree with, this is not blaming men.


yes she's talking about men, but not saying anything negative or unfair or accusatory


her remarks are something to disagree with, there's no penalty flag to be thrown here.

My favorite movie this year was a female action movie and I saw it twice at the movies (Alita: Battle Angel)

Her attitude is shit and the movie is probably just as bad.

Wait your favorite movie was that horrible big eyed wanna be anime trash fest? Your opinions are null and void.

The best female action movie this year was the 20 minutes of John Wick 3 that had Halle Berry.

 

[HereticBD]

yup.

men don’t go see women do action movies.

what is the negative there?

The fact that it's provably false, and she's just making an excuse for why her movie flopped. Her excuse makes no sense either, because she was clearly targeting women with this movie.

If she had said "Women don't want to watch women in action movies", that would've been far more appropriate of a point. Typical feminist brain at work. Even when it's not men's fault, it's men's fault.

Yep, I loved it. the CGI and art style was great too. It looks uncanny, but thats kinda the point. She ain't a human, shes an advanced cyborg bruh.

my other favorite action movie of recent years also has a female lead

 

[Fedorable]

it's okay not to want to watch female action movies.

The old style Kung Fu movie flavor in the bar scene was great. The Motorball scene was excellent as well. Entertaining flick if you don't try to watch it as something to be taken seriously. And agreed, there's a reason she's a bug-eyed character and it fits the overall theme of how she's an off planet cyborg who can whoop serious ass.

Wood.

With the eyes on.

 

[TrueBias]

Everyone is trying their start at comedy in here, and thats cute and all, but it failed because it was a reboot of a reboot. And NO ONE asked for either reboots.

How the fuck is this hard to understand?

 

[Fanu]

I'm guessing you made a thread about climate change and nobody read it or participated in it so you're upset that this thread is more active and getting more replies.

You are derailing the thread and quite frankly, your whining is cringy as fuck.

you guessed wrong
and there is nothing cringy about conservatives (or whomever) being pissed off about statements of an actor regarding a shit movie?

What is so "cringy" about giving an opinion on an actual cringy statement made by some actor/actress? No different than commenting when your boy Bobby Deniro gets up on stage and says "Fuck Trump" to start his worthless entitled speech.

There is plenty of free space here for you to make a thread about Jane Fonda and climate change, so go ahead and do it. I am sure that any people that give a fuck will join in on your circle jerk.

deniro isnt my "boy" - couldnt give 2 fucks about him
grown men giving opinion on statements by celebrity actors is cringy - do you watch E! or TMZ on the regular and wait for statements from actors to be pissed off about?
there are more worthwhile issues to be discussed than something that will be forgotten within 2 days

yeah cool, remember that when billions have to be spent by your state/country on yet another natural disaster recovery - "its all a freaking circle jerk, now lets see what that fat chick from SNL said yesterday, that really gets my blood boiling"

no wonder we have flat earthers and anti vax movements - people are preoccupied by bullshit

 

[Literally Bricked]

The review the BBC gave of this movie is crushing: http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20191119-charlies-angels-review-bland-witless-and-ludicrous

In Hollywood terms, then, the film is groundbreakingly progressive. It’s something to be celebrated and supported. Or rather, it would have been if it weren’t so terrible.

The most depressing part of Charlie’s Angels is that the feminist agenda it trumpets in so many clumsy speeches is drowned out by the Angels’ own incompetence. Rather than having a story, the film has a string of rote action sequences, and each of these sequences goes the same way: Bosley tells the Angels where the villains are; the Angels stride into wherever they need to be, in their impractical designer outfits; they make a mess of things; and the villains escape. The Angels also manage to assault and /or murder various innocent bystanders while they’re at it, so if the film had any morals it would have ended with the three of them in prison.

The reasonable responses pretty much nailed it. Not much else to add here.

 

[Trained4years]

The only good Alien movies had Sigorny Weaver at the helm... who wasn't even that hot.

GI Jane is a fantastic flick and Demi portrayed her character brilliantly. ....Shaved head btw.

Titanic? Leo stepped aside big time for a comparatively lesser known actress. Beautiful girl, respectful nude/love scenes.... far more respectable to woman then the porn out there today in hollowood.
Ps HUGE theme song sung by a woman, Celine Dion.

There are endless lists of unforgettable woman actors who absolutely KILLED IT with both the the male and female audience that these unknown hoes can't hold an ignited dildo too.

They forgot that showbusiness is simply if your not popular, you suck.
