Some of these are completely accurate though Hmm...weeell, let's break them down 1-by-1: "Nixon is better than anything Tim Burton ever directed": Well...it's better than anything he's ever directed WITH THE OBVIOUS EXCEPTION OF ED WOOD! Which, coincidentally, is also better than anything Oliver Stone ever directed. But yes, with that glaring exception, Nixon is miles better than anything else Tim Burton ever directed. So, for that matter, are all of Oliver Stone's Top 5 Movies (1. JFK, 2. NBK, 3. Nixon, 4. Platoon, 5. Talk Radio). This one's mostly right...but not quite. "Film twitter sees a movie that's wonderful and thinks the problem is Facebook moms": Umm...HUH??? I think "Film Twitter" and "Facebook moms" both SUCK (but, tbf, the moms aren't as godawful as "Film Twitter"), yet I still have no clue WTF this means. "Film twitter won't admit it but Quentin Tarantino is only good at making movies about boomers": BULL-fucking-SHIT!! He's one of the Top 3 greatest filmmakers of his generation, and truly one of the most brilliant filmmakers of all-time. Has made 3 bonafide MASTERPIECES and 3 other truly GREAT films. Fantastic filmography! Not a single film of his I've disliked (ditto for PTA). Though Death Proof is his weakest film by faaaaar (not even close!) I still think it's okay fun. So this one's DEAD WRONG. "Film twitter keeps saying Clint Eastwood is problematic actually but tbh I think that's BS": Umm...YES, this I'll agree with. He's only made 3 or 4 films I think are truly great, and most of his directing filmography is a big fat "EH!", but he's not "problematic" and "problematic" is a dumb meaningless virtue-signaling buzzword for braindead SJW zombies. First one I can fully agree with. "Film twitter sees a movie that's funded by the CIA and thinks the problem is Disney adults": Umm...da fuck??? This one's even more nonsensical than the "Facebook moms" one! "There must be at least 2 good Spike Lee movies! The rest? Ehh": NOPE, definitely wrong. There are 2 Spike Lee movies that are MASTERPIECES ( 25th Hour and Do the Right Thing) and better than anything the previously mentioned Eastwood ever directed. But aside from those 2, there are 4 or 5 other ones from him that are at least very good. "Ozu could've made Little Miss Sunshine but Tom Hooper could not have made The Grinch": To quote the great George Carlin, this one's just plain fucking STUPID. Not wasting my time on it. "The Rise of Skywalker is basically the same as all that MCU slop": NOPE, definitely not. I'm far from an MCU fanboy (there are only like 6 or 7 of them that I either Love or at least think are very good), but there are more than a dozen MCU flicks that are better than ROS (which isn't even a terrible film, imo, just mediocre). So...well, the Eastwood one is true, I guess. 1 1/2 out of 8.

And, just so I can play & go with the OT, this was the first one I got: "Yeah, Crazy, Stupid Love felt too hacky for me. Im more a fan of The Nice Guys."
LOL. I half-disagree. Love them both! I definitely prefer The Nice Guys (better film, funnier film), but I'm also a huge fan of Crazy, Stupid Love.Â

Even when you're trying to have fun with an intentionally silly thread by taking the "hot takes" seriously and replying to them 1-by-1, you get some schmuck who misses the point (Woosh!), and tries to sarcastically put you down over it. Can never win with some people.

Seeing this trend of comparing Monty Python and the Holy Grail to films by Hayao Miyazaki and you know what that's valid
Honestly, Howl's Moving Castle could thread the needle here...valid...

when you say you like dark movies, and your normie friends go "ooh yeah you mean like Good Burger" but you're really talking about The Emperor's New Groove
How on earth have Ryan Coogler and Ryan Coogler never collabbed?
Jodie Foster would be a great Batman, but would not work as Bruce Wayne
Just look at First Reformed if you want serious criticism of the fast food industry
romcom reboot of Rango let's go (put Snoop Dogg and Meryl Streep in it)

Pom Poko should be mandatory viewing to anyone who's ever said "Sergio Leone is dumb"

"there are good actors working today. and then there's Diana Rigg........ > " RUDE. Too soon!!! "The Irishman but starring Natasha Lyonne. that's it that's the tweet" Have her play the "young" DeNiro flashbacks but still keep the young De Niro CGI face "idea: adult animated sitcom based on Cats" Yes, but keep in the bulges and cat anuses. "Get Regina Hall in that Iron Man armor NOW" Okay but only if RDJ can play Brenda in blackface drag in Scary Movie 6.
