I did use to watch his videos just to laugh at how he criticizes them, he does have some valid criticisms that makes sense compared to nerdrotic who I don't even want to get into but there are some that will tell you he's just farming for views and they are all filled with recipes of rage-bait from manipulation of movie scenes to fit his narrative like he did with glass onion to him choosing specific blockbusters or trending movies to discuss on which are mostly Disney content because hating on Disney gives you views now to his personal biases on the culture war and how it impacts movies forgetting we've gone down this route before. Don't even get me started on him criticizing movies that haven't been made yet or the ones whose trailer have been released like he did with prey (he had to release another video to say he was wrong only to criticize the movie again in his "drinkers after hours" video cast with his "team"wink. How about how he also doesn't understand some movie or series scenes? the way he analyzes scenes in his "after hours" podcast is just steeped in his personal bias and somewhat dumb that he misses certain plot points as we see in the case of his "the last of us" and "one piece" reviews not to even talk about him screaming about movies and "the message" which is a good thing but he's so against the message that he's beginning to turn into what he actually hates because a movie didn't appeal to his own message. What's even more laughable is that he reviews movies that he didn't even see wink like his review of the new season of the boys had me gagging, a season he specifically said he didn't even watch, even his own audience trolled him in the comments

There are lots of examples that I can give but don't want to derail this thread any further, I don't listen to movie reviews especially the ones on YouTube because most are a cesspool for toxicity, I watch and I form my own opinion
You’re definitely right - in a sense.
Unfortunately, farming for views is what almost every YouTuber does - he's no different - movie YouTubers pick the most talked about topic and form their own opinion about it - that is his job! What makes him different is because he talks about not only movies and pop culture relevant topics on movies but trailers too- even Jeremy Jahns does that sometimes🤷🏽‍♂️ you say all this like he only talks negative about movies which is totally false! He has said multiple times that Hollywood hasn't been making good movies and he makes videos of how dumb some movies are - and he's not wrong- he has his style of reviewing movies and that's not wrong - he doesn't need to change his style because people say he's rage-baiting since it works for him. He never said you shouldn't form your own opinion- it's still his opinion and you're free to use the information you got anyway you want.
If you really think YouTubers don't have a bias when forming an opinion about movies- you're totally wrong- some Movie critics hate a movie just because of a subject matter being discussed - like Sound of Freedom that was bombed with bad reviews from critics just because they don't like the guy in the movie and subject matter. Drinker has his personal bias - of course! But don't think every other critic doesn't. It doesn't make him different

Paul Thomas Anderson vs Quentin Tarantino...



I'll go with Quentin since I've watched half his filmography...while PTA I've watched none of his even tho I have half of his films in my watchlist or downloaded already.
It's Quentin all day - but my best movie overall is a PTA movie! Boogie Nights

His delivery is hyperbolic especially when he first started but his commentary isn't and like I said he's a ragebaiter because that's what gives him views. Moreover, I don't even listen to stuckmann or any other movie critic, I'd rather watch a movie and form my own opinion
How do you know he’s a rage-baiter if you don’t watch his videos 👀

The movie is bad for sure but I'd rather eat shit for eternity than listen to what that toxic rage baiter have to say
Because someone speaks his mind on a particular topic- in an entertaining and hyperbolic m way doesn’t make him a rage baiter - not everyone is Stuckmann

Make audiences no treat my Queen like this na (I know the trailer wasn't giving but it's my babe Cate)
I almost bought a ticket to watch the trash. I hope she got paid tons for the embarrassment. From playing an Oscar nominated movie to this trash is unhinged.
Better still, watch this review, it's more entertaining than the film itself

🎥 The Kindergarten Teacher (2018) = 3/10 ❌

Disgusting! If no be ment, wetin u dey carry 5 year old go bathroom go discuss? This woman fit dey crase for real life. Pedophile in real life. Even her voice dey irritating 🤢

Wow, we actually agree on a movie👀. I couldn't even finish it, I was just skipping over and over again to avoid the cringe and disgust I was facing🤦🏽‍♂️. The part where the scene she was having sex with the poem teacher transitioned to her looking dotingly at the 5 year old then taking him alone to a bathroom almost made me vomit in disgust🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️, how did this movie get made? They even made a scene with her changing clothes in front of a 5 year old is so insane🤦🏽‍♂️🤮🤮🤮

I'm watching the most abhorrent and uncomfortable movie I've ever seen in my life and I'm not even done.
The Kindergarten Teacher - I'm planning on homeschooling my kids till they're 10 or so because if this is how some teachers actually behave - I don't think I can cope without strangling a woman

So it's only men that are allowed to critique women? If a 37 year old married Nigerian mother of 3 had come to a public function with an open chest outfit, the shaming will go on for miles. Blake Lively is one of the most classy women in Hollywood, suddenly wanting to look "hot" is not a good look on her
I get your point, really, but she’s not trying hard. She has always looked hot asf and that “open chest” outfit is normal here in America, she’s not trying anything, she just put on an outfit - married or not ; women wear stuff like that all the time

Frumpy oversized suit aside, a married mother of 3 in her late 30s has no business stepping out like that. She wants to show that she still has it,she only ended up looking tacky

Bad reviews everywhere for Umbrella Academy season 4.

Season 3 was already disappointing...

And now people are claiming they'll pretend season 4 doesn't exist

While others are arguing whether it's worse than GOT S8 or not

I have not seen a single positive review of Umbrella Academy S4 either on Twitter or Reddit wtf...
Since that lady said she was a man, the shows has sucked ass - won't recommend to anyone

Actually, the misinformed and delusional person here is YOU. If you would’ve paid attention to the things that transpired in Arizona over the past 4 years like the best of us, you wouldn’t be surprised or in denial.
See you in November.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg - is this your news source😂😂😂😂 - because a bunch of republicans chose Harris you think it'd reflect in an election - do you really follow politics😂? A large portion of the media is owned by Democrats - what do you expect them to report?

I stopped reading at the use/misuse of ‘buying’. If the first half of the opening sentence doesn’t make sense then reading any further is a total waste of time. See you in November.
Looks like you don’t really have a viable opposing viewpoint so you decide to claim stupidity because of an auto-correct error😂😂 a normal brain-dead liberal😭
By the way - Kamala is still in her honeymoon era - getting donations, getting sponsors from celebrities - even having a VP - almost identical to peak 2019 Brat Kamala and she's slipping in the polls- even with black voters 😭. I don't think she can pick up steam before the election on vibe alone - everything she's doing is on vibe now not on policies - her policies are bad and she's only resonating with liberal women alone not with independents😪.... unfortunately
This is recent polls from today - since 1990 Democrats have always had great polls - this is the first time a republican is leading in popular votes and in the polls also and Kamala has never been very good in a long run campaign😭😂
Don't be delusional - She has never been popular as either a Prosecutor - a Senator and even a VP - her campaign is just based on hype 😂😂 - and Twitter and TikTok trends never reflect in polls

He dances to the crowd depending on where he’s at. If he’s with his supporter he’ll act like he hates them to garner more support when he’s among the rich elites who bankroll him, he’ll pretend he supports them
Are you really that dumb? This guy has been president before - his presidency saw a massive increase in job opportunity for blacks. Lowest unemployment rate in 50 years for low income workers and he released black prisoners from incarceration throughout his presidency - why would he need to act? His presidency speaks for itself. He dances to the crowd - that's totally right! Because he's not the president of the elites but of the masses - he does what the people he governs tell him to do🤷🏽‍♂️ is that not what the president should do.
You talk about rich elites giving him money- TRUMP? the first presidential candidate that said he doesn't need the money of the super-PAC? Babe, he's a billonaire - tell me one rich billonaire or company who has endorsed him except Elon Musk but Harris gets donations from Google, Amazon and the top 10 biggest companies in the United States - that tells you who's actually for the people or for big corporations like Black Rock.
Sincerely! All this pisses me off - base your argument on actual facts not what CNN tells you is true. If you really think the media is not trying to control what you think - I'm sorry for you.

Don't be a bum
If you want me to show you public records I will you idiot.
Flights with epstein, 67 phone calls, taking his kids to meet Epstein, it's all there but dumb maga cultists like you keep slapping the stale old MSNBC flap.

Where do you keep your logical sense? In your rectum?
If you're not very dumb - you'd know almost every celebrity in Hollywood met with Epstein - George Clooney, Tom Hanks, you name them. Trump also because his business was in entertainment. As a smart business man as he was - he engaged with Epstein because Epstein had connections with politicians and celebrities alike. So if you're trying to convict someone by association then every politician and celebrity should be arrested.
Why haven't they opened up the Epstein list in its fullest and only bringing up Trump's name in an election year? If they're really serious about the list: let them release every detail. If Trump was actually an accomplice- it'd have been out already giving how hated by the Deep State he is.
I'm not even a Republican and I know the truth - stop eating up fake news and look at the news from both sides
Unlike your candidate whose main objective is to kill babies in women's wombs - kill of the oil business with tens of millions of workers - destroy the rigging and mining business and is a socialist puppet with no real objective or motive

You're right in a sense but in terms of watching it with a little kid like I did- you'd know they could rewatch the movie a billion times and not get tired😂. But as an adult, if you turn your brain off you'd enjoy it

So nice to see a man with a good background smiling instead of a tyrant with an evil smirk.
Minnesota constituents all seem to love him and everything I’m reading about his career achievements is making me smile. I hope you guys are ready to lose him as governor and welcome him as VP!
He has a good background - if he was buying for presidency - he has a better chance of winning but as VP - not much. Besides he is too far left leaning for a moderate- giving boys tampons - in full support of abortion in a Christian state- his bad handling of the George Floyd Protests - his 54% approval rating in Minnesota - and not very great decision making with immigration🤷🏽‍♂️

The part 2 is too much of a masterpiece to compare to MaXXXine 😭

MaXXXine --- 3/10

Caveat: spoiler alert

A flick blessed with nudity, sex, and gory deaths but cursed with lack of rational storyline as a support structure for the mentioned elements.

Let's go over the plot and see why it is say so;

A preacher wants his daughter, Maxxine, to follow in his foot step as a preacher, or a devoted Christian worker or leader, but unfortunately she has other plans... plans of being a Hollywood star, but since she didn't have a big break she had to start from somewhere and this somewhere happened to be porn. Her preacher father of course was furious with this... furious that his darling daughter had been taken, inducted and corrupted by Hollywood into what he terms, its radical, immoral and satanic films, and Pornography. So he swore to rescue his daughter likewise expose and destroy Hollywood.

And here is where the problem lies, if his aim was to expose and destroy Hollywood, why go on a killing spree after upcoming actresses and porn actresses? Why not go after the big shots in the industry --- the studio executives, investors, directors, producers, scriptwriters, Hollywood stars etc?

Okay, let's give the plot the benefit of doubt and reason that he was trying to get his daughter's attention in other to make his so called Hollywood exposing video with her being featured in it, hence the killing of her friends, then the question of why he killed the other actresses that had no connection to his daughter still hovers in the air.

MaXXXine had what it takes to be an amazing slasher blockbuster, but unfortunately, poor storyline punctured it. It seems the film makers were more interested in the nudity, sex, and gory deaths than the plot. Disappointing and tragic, I must say.


#Xavier
You're right! It's a blue film at best. Pirates (2005) even has a better story than this
