Brad Jones, The Cinema Snob

[RAPEMAN]

The idea for a gender segregated screening for a super hero movie was retarded. Mike from RLM put it best: fictional characters are not people girls should look up to. The problem is they were trying to push a feminist agenda behind a movie that shouldn't have had a feminist agenda. The movie should just have a super hero who happens to be a woman. In theory that's what women at one point wanted. The film was decent but it didn't need the baggage.

That's also a better way to write characters. Character first, then gender or whatever the hell.

Can you give me some timestamps for the fedora jones anti-SJW strawman shit so I don't have to watch the entire video? I caught one of them and all he did was make an obvious joke about philipino fominism, which MIGHT have been funny if his delivery wasn't so piss-awful. And he wasn't using a >muh original character< to make the joke.

I'm not sure who he was supposed to be. I thought he might be mocking Aurini, what with the desperate need to be dominant and latent homosexuality and whatnot, but some of the mannerisms seem off.

[sigh]

I don't think it was gender segregated screenings, over here one of the main chains of cinemas would do a happening called 'Ladies night' which basically is a screening of a recent , usually more female oriented, movie (this month has "Everything, Everything" for example) with some contests and 'girly' stuff thrown into it. It's a monthly event and every month they would have different sponsors, From the comments I gather it is more of a social thing for women, one evening whitout those pesky kids.
What I think happened was some buthurt asshole complained, because he didn't know what it was, and then the feminist blew it out of proportion as they always do. Then buzzfeedlike sites picked up the topic and created a narrative around it. And finally some theatres started virtue signaling and made those screenings a reality, but I don't believe for a moment that this is as big of a problem as some try to present.

I don't think this is a feminist movie, it has some feministic rhetoric, but nothing that would stand out. Moreover as the marketing goes, this as well as most other capeshit is targeted more toward kids, [so it is perfect for SJWs], but it's not the studio that pushes the feminist angle, but feminists themselves. It's beautiful to see how the financial and critical success that a movie has you can easily attribute to it being woman directed, woman stared, as if this wasn't a capeshit movie which always tend to have a decent audience. I guess this is what would have been unleashed upon the world if the Ghostbusters(2016) didn't flop. Now SJW can finally forget about it and move on in their imaginationland.

As to Brad I skimmed through the review to find the new strawman character and to be honest from his lines I couldn't understand what he was supposed to be, especially with Brad sarcastically saying something to the extent that he will totally go away if he starts ignoring him, which I guess is a jab at people who think as I do and ask why would they cherry pick comments from youtube and pass them to twitter. Though the name of the Character 'Walt Right' from the credits kind of gives it away. Seriously he thinks this naming convention is funny/ smart? Oh and the whole getting angry at the character he himself inserted to the review is so dumb and overused now, I know, I know it is the point and it is supposed to resemble the comment section, but still that is dumb. No doubt his fans would love it though, and that's why he would put them.

EDIT:
Skimmed through comments under the video, nothing but positivity, rainbows and sunshine, it probably isn't strange for something that is up one and a half of a day, but still my cherry picking comments issue stands. Ofc people ate up the new straw man.

The uproar about the "gender separation" thing was stupid. Our local cinema did lads' night screenings for a few of the more recent F&F movies and nobody gave a shit. But people on the internet and especially within "geek culture" feel the need to insert gender politics into things that aren't there.

If gender politics played any part it is more likely the cinema using the trend to make money, simple cynical business.

Sounds like the 2016 Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusters 2016 was a mess.

But he said Wonder Woman was decent. Ghostbusters 2016 was a steaming turd of cringe humour.

[Vaporwear]

I saw Wonder Woman looking for a fun action film, and that's what I got. I don't get why everyone, especially the Internet, has to turn everything with women in it into a rant about some feminist agenda.

Regarding the "ladies night" screenings.

I heard about it but havent bothered reading much about it. I assume the theater only let women watch the movie that night?

That seems kind of stupid to me. It would piss me off if i went to the theater to watch a movie but couldnt because of "ladies night". Some people get one night off a week. The better way to do it is to have two screens playing the movie. That way you dont have to turn away customers and can still "foster a spirit of sisterhood" or whatever.
