"Blunt is exhaustingly good" - exhaustingly is a weird choice of adverb.

This is the one movie I'm looking most forward to this summer.
The first time in my whole ilfe I haven't watched the last trailer because I want to go in as clean as possible.

Ha! Thought the same thing.
You're from down South,
And when you open your mouth,
You always seem to put your foot there.

It is 2 weeks out from the release of @disclosureday and happy to say presales are strong. I would put them at the high end in the range of @F1Movie. Call it a range of $40m-$55m opening and would be a big win for Spielberg and @UniversalPics. Initial reactions outstanding! pic.twitter.com/OKwp5zEzIM

STEVEN SPIELBERG!!!
FULL EPISODE OUT NOW! pic.twitter.com/SObFNvCKLI
Well I've got my workout listen for tomorrow.
Hear me out...
I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.
I rarely get excited to go see a movie in theaters these days, but I can't wait to see this.
Waited until today to get tickets for a mid-afternoon showing this Friday. I was the first two seats in the auditorium, so got my perfect seats.
Steven Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ debuts with 90% on Rotten Tomatoes — based on 77 reviews 🍅 pic.twitter.com/YtYq4pjOPD

Though, I will say, I've also seen a few vocal negative reactions as well. Granted, those are only about 10% of all critic reactions I'm seeing - which checks out, obviously - I'm just saying those critics seem to have consistent issues with the script, are saying it's muddled, etc. I've also seen a couple of them even negatively compare it to Spielberg's 2017 movie The Post, but I unabashedly love that movie - in fact, I think it's phenomenal - so I don't know what the hell they're going on about.
Sonny Bunch is negative, but he's also secular. My guess is that this is a "religious" film, and will be "trite" to use his word to those who find that off-putting.
Blunt and O'Connor with a cosmic connection is already half way there to religion. Question is, then, worship what / whom.

Hmmm, I don't guess anything has changed with my normal stance of not giving a singular f*** about any critics' opinion, good or bad.
But what I do know is that this is Steven Spielberg returning to a genre in which he has shined so very brightly. That doesn't mean the movie will be an all-timer or anything. The first SS movie I ever saw in a theater was Close Encounters of the Third Kind. That one has withstood the test of time for me. As a parent, I have enjoyed the opportunity to share the movies that I have loved with my kids in a theatrical setting, and was overjoyed when my daughter said she thought Close Encounters was a good movie (this is a child who had the attention span of a gnat, for reference). E.T. did not withstand my time test, and part of that is because I grew up, but also I have never forgotten Spielberg bowing to political correctness by replacing shotguns with walkie talkies. War of the Worlds could have been so much better than it was, but when it was clicking, it was quintessential Spielberg.

nobody 2 is at 76% on RT and it's a pile of crap.
Gonna need a review from someone on here, TCTts' top list of the year is usually legit, trust him more than RT

Is it possible that it just doesn't address trans rights directly enough? Or slip in any anti-MAGA dog whistles? Maybe there are simply too many whites?
Seriously though, I do feel like some movies just do not get the credit they deserve, possibly for political or social reasons.
Apocalypto, for instance...SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT on Rotten Tomatoes. That's effing laughable. Would not be surprised if legions of granola hippie "critics" downvoted the movie because of some of the negative depictions of the natives back then. Or because Mel Gibson once said some pretty spicy things. You never know with the die hard left.

What part of the movie is this?
My four year old daughter absolutely loved ET when we watched it for the first time about a yr ago. Watching her facial expressions and reactions during the movie was the best part for me. Spielberg is the GOAT at creating that magic and suspense that just captures your childhood imagination.
But yeah, watching my daughter watch ET for the first time was better than any movie I have ever seen, hands down.

His version of War of the Worlds had the highest of the highs, and some wild lows. At some points, I thought to myself: 'This is the greatest sci-fi movie ever made.' and then - other scenes pooped the bed.

Also the white people ruin everything line from the west side story remake he directed. Stopped watching immediately. Was kind of interested in disclosure day but will probably skip or bootleg
Yeah, that movie is all over the map. The ferry sequence was awesome. The initial attack was fantastic. The sequence with them in the house and the sound of something going on outside was very intense, and then you find out an airplane had crashed right next to the house. But the kids were an annoyance. The son running up the hill with the soldiers, there is an explosion and you go through most of the movie thinking the son is dead, only to find that he somehow made it safely to Boston at the end, with his mom's family just hanging out in their home with destruction all around. That was bad.Head Ninja In Charge said:Cinco Ranch Aggie said:

Ha, puke
Two days until Initial Disclosure Day.
Why does it say it premiers on Friday, the 12th, when all the theaters around me show it playing tomorrow?
That's how it works these days. Movies come out the Thursday evening prior to the "official" Friday release date.
Not sure why that's the norm now, but it is.

I think they just stopped midnight showings and did Thursday evening "previews" instead, which I appreciate because those midnight openings started getting rough for this aging man.

Y'all have to let go of this idea that every critic is some ultra-woke, bleeding-heart liberal, when that's just not the reality at all. Sure, the majority of them probably lean left, but not to the insane degree you're painting.
In fact, the critiques I've read of the movie so far haven't been political at all. Again, they all literally just saying the script is a bit sloppy/doesn't fully connect all the dots. While The Post is a pretty liberal movie, all things considered, and the two comparing it to that movie are comparing it as a negative.

Not every one...just 35%...as evidenced by Apocalypto's 65% approval rating.
All kidding aside, hopefully we can all agree that is ridiculously low for Apocalypto....which is pretty much a masterpiece that very likely no one could have pulled off in the manner Mel Gibson did.

Not every critic, but a vast majority. Some independent ones aren't, but if they work for any major publication it's almost a certainty. It's like trying to find a right of center humanities prof.
It's why the anti-woke youtube critic channels have become massively popular. Half of the country was starved of movie critiques not coming from typical smug leftists.
Spielberg is center-left, and until he moved out of CA in Dec. he was one of the biggest gun collectors on the West Coast, with a world class collection
And even for my Pat Buchanan supporting self , a certain powerful country and ideology …. Eh, Munich was good and he's a very intelligent and competent guy which I respect

Is that Cliff making yet another stereotypical generalization? Shocking!
Just because someone "leans left" doesn't mean they're atomically/also an ultra-woke, bleeding-heart liberal. To the point of giving the movie a negative review because it doesn't feature trans characters or isn't anti-MAGA enough or whatever.
That was the distinction I was making.
Of course, it sounds like anyone on the left to you has to be ultra-woke/bleeding-heart, and I would expect nothing less from your worldview.
Still, out of the hundreds of working critics out there, to claim that "a vast majority" of them are ultra-woke/bleeding heart is laughable. Hell, I know quite a few of them personally and I can assure you that's not the case. Then again, as always, you know this industry better than I do, so I'll defer to you and your not-at-all-bias-opinion.

The most right-wing movie critic in the country is a gay black man (yes it's true)
Back when I cared what critics thought, I never got any suggestion as to what they thought politically. Either because I didn't think in terms like that, or they didn't convey their beliefs. All they did was talk about the movies. This would be in the late 70s through mid 80s when I regularly watched The Siskel & Ebert Show.
They may very well have been flaming libs, but they hid that from me if so (although I'm not so sure I would have picked up on it). Now, many don't hide it - they flaunt it and will flame a movie if it does not feature enough "representation" or whatever lib cause is hip at the moment.
