Lousy writing. Lousy acting. It's just not very good.
I don't really care about the actor's politics. 90% of Hollywood is infested with TDS. All I ask is to make entertaining movies and TV shows that don't lecture, scold, or aspire to "educate" me.
Just entertain me. That's all I expect from you.
If you want to go on an anti-Trump tirade at the podium at the Oscars or the Golden Globes, I don't care, as long as you're up there accepting an award for something that was actually good!
“I stopped watching Reacher because it sucked.
Lousy writing. Lousy acting. It’s just not very good.”
Agreed. I tried reading the books but both books were so STUPID - the author believes military people move from base to base with just a suitcase each because military housing is all furnished by the government. That every military base is identical so military people can find their way around when moving to a new base. The plot holes were ENORMOUS: A bad guy hires a construction team from a small town, then kills them all to avoid paying them...and NO ONE in the town notices they didn’t return home?
The shows are also dumb. They are “Popcorn TV” - okay for watching provided you turn your brain off first and just ignore the massive holes so you can just enjoy Reacher kicking butt in a spectacular manner.
Most TV is like that. It has always been that way. I watch TV at times to spin down and relax, to NOT think about stuff before going to bed. Reacher is OK for that. MOST TV and movies, at best, are OK for that - and much of what is being made now isn’t even that level.
Alan Ritchson is not a deep thinker. He’s probably smarter than the average actor but that is a low standard. I don’t CARE if he doesn’t like Trump. If Alan Ritchson debated JD Vance on TV, it would be banned as cruelty to animals. He’s a former model turned actor who takes testosterone and bulks up so he can flex while playing a cartoon character.
Where I draw the line is assuming he is an example for Christians to emulate. But then, many PASTORS are not either! “Big EVA” - people like Russell Moore (Editor in Chief of Christianity Today and writer of “Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America”) and formerly a bigwig in the SBC - have sold their souls while trying to tell all Christians how to live.
I’ll save my outrage for people who claim to be both highly intelligent and evangelical, who claim they should be leaders of Christianity in the USA, who have sold out for 30 pieces of silver.
