Bird box wasn’t awful, but you had to check some reality at the door. The scene with them driving ‘blind’ was silly.

Bird Box: 6/7. Netflix original flick starring Sandra Bullock, John Malkovich, and other people you'd recognize. Based on the popular, eponymous novel. It's in the vein of a Stephen King book/movie, which might be why I liked it. So if you don't like movies like The Mist, or The Stand, then you wouldn't like this one. It's also like a nonshitty A Quiet Place. A little hokey, but it really maintains the suspense the whole time. I was sad when it ended.
Is this accurate?

I only made it about halfway through that, uh, article? No. Unless . . . I'm part of the problem?

It had no racist insinuations at all. God, I hate 2018. Anyways, 6/7. Very entertaining.

you not wanting to see racism is different from you being overtly racist

Wacky, start a thread where you interpret every movie to be an allegory re: racism.

maybe not tho

Man, I don't know if I have the time and energy for that. If that guy thinks that movie is racist, keep him away from GOT's, Blazing Saddles, etc. I mean, I guess you could make an allegory for everything being racist these days. Chodecat went to Hawaii this year, rough ridin' white privilege.

DQ12 · « **Reply #9536 on:** December 28, 2018, 09:56:14 AM »

I don't think Bird Box has that meaning and I don't think anyone actually thinks that's the point of the movie.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #9537 on:** December 28, 2018, 09:57:19 AM »

If you don't want to see allegories for racism, maybe don't check The Root for movie reviews?

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #9538 on:** December 28, 2018, 09:57:40 AM »

That's fair, that was just the first thing that popped up on the google search when you guys were mentioning movies to watch yesterday and last night I was like, "really"?

A simple google search proves it was the first article to pop up yesterday for bird box.

I think it's pretty clear the author knew he was being a silly little goose with his interpretation.

True. This is today's latest. They think it's social media.

I have decided I need to start a movie blog with a zillion ads on it, where I just call stuff racist. Racists love to read about stuff being wrongly called racist, and habitual victims love reading about another example of racism.

crap, I probably shouldn’t limit it to just movies.

Should do it for restaurants and do your reviews solely based on their online menus
