Wow it’s amazing how much free press haters of this movie are generating for it.

There is a massive culture of critique in the world now. Entire Youtube channels are devoted to picking apart and making fun of crappy Hollywood movies, quite often for their wokeness. Viewers of those channels often enjoy the videos making fun of the movie more than they ever would the movie itself, and usually instead of watching the movie. This is NOT to the benefit of Hollywood. It will become a cottage industry to make fun of this particular abomination of classic literature.

This isn’t critique, this is incessant whining. You can’t critique a movie until you see it. But when you devote as many column inches to whining about a movie that isn’t even out yet and you supposedly won’t see as a good critique by someone that’s actually seen it, you’re just performing.

Actually those videos are absolutely to the benefit of Hollywood. All press is good press. And part of the fun of them is laughing along with them, which means you also have to see the movie. Heck I only watch CinemaSins of movies I’ve seen, and mostly of movies I like, it’s fun to take a humorous critical eye to a movie I enjoy. It’s part of the fun. They had a cottage industry of poking at Oppenheimer too. Didn’t hurt the box office.
