LOL. This is funny but there is a reason there is a film critic industry. The idea that people should not form an opinion on a movie, TV show or other work of art until they see it or shouldn’t form one based on a critical review or pattern recognition of “Woke” indicators isn’t practical or even reasonable. People have to make judgements about what they are going to see based on critical reviews from people they trust or pattern recognition. Or whether the movie has an actor that they like or dislike. Or whether the director has a Woke take on the story. And its fine for people to have those opinions even if they have not seen the movie or TV show and act on them (i.e., see or not see the movie). Those who say you can’t form an opinion until you see it are being disingenuous.

Right. Because Hollywood and its press is one big Jerk Circle, and the critic industry is like the coxswain in a rowing shell, calling out "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!"

I believe Billy Squier had something to say about that with regard to the music biz.
