They offer the lowest form of critique or appreciation, zero insight or engagement beyond the most surface level commentary, consistently positioning themselves above the work and "the masses." Critique driven by snark. I find them unbearable.

Agree, the old board was better.

Meh. They always give valid reasons for their opinions as far as I’ve seen. If they like a movie they will praise it even if it’s popular. They loved top gun maverick for instance. I don’t find them snobby or unbearable. Just seem like normal funny dudes I’d hang out with with valid opinions I sometimes agree with.

Maybe I'm just cranky this morning!

I bet if you watched that video I posted of them discussing malignant you would enjoy it. I laughed out loud a couple times

The Martian. It was good I guess. I really like the premise. Those cam confession bits though with the grandpa jokes took me out of it. Pretty goofy but my wife laughed at a couple of them so I'm probably just being an asshole.

Please stop harassing Jorge. He's already told you he's cranky!

I’m trying to cheer him up!

I also didn’t like the humor but that’s just the character I guess. I thought that movie was OK. I have trouble ever really liking Ridley Scott movies

Big Fish probably does have the most emotional depth and meaning of a Tim Burton

Big Fish is also he last great movie. He retired for me after that one. Everything he did is almost unwatchable and i loved the guy as a kid.

yeah, i kinda hate those videos too. Specially when they are trying to be funny.

The Menu and Triangle of Sadness made for a great 1-2 combo.

maybe you haven't seen a video in a while or something.. but i don't know why you guys feel this way. i think they're awesome

there is a guy who makes one dressed as a blockbuster clerk and he talks with his dog...its mostly marvel stuff.

And its impossible.

I only watch "Half in the bag"s and "re-views" when they're not in character, just discussing movies

They are one step above The Nostalgia Critic

Knives Out - About as good on second viewing. This deserves all it's acclaim.

E.T. - I know I saw pieces of this as a child, but I'm not sure I ever saw the whole thing. Pretty typical Spielberg. Endearing, full of magic and wonder. I loved every second.

your opinion of them is worse--more snarky, unfair--than any opinion they have on movies
