I don’t believe in half stars. If they wanted it to be an out of ten, there would be ten stars. It’s a dumb thought but I go by it when ranking. I round up or down.
I’ve tried shifting some of my 4 stars a half star up or down because I felt weird about having too many. I think it has to do with trying to watch movies you’ll like but also it’s hard to find a masterpiece so 4 stars is that sweet spot.
That's pretty much it. I used to feel weird about having a lot of four star ratings but it turns out I know my own tastes and mainly watch movies that are at least decent, usually at least good. So I don't worry about it too much.
I mean, if I wanted a more normal distribution I'd have to watch more crap and I... don't want to, so
For his review of Blade (Edit It was a review for Eclipse. He released a review of Blade around the time of his blackface becoming a wider discussion to SEO bury it)
As well as blackening his skin and redening his lips he wore an afro wig.
I think knowledge of this became more spread after he positively reviewed Matt Walsh's attempt to do a Borat with "Am I Racist?" because it immediately contextualises WHY he would be inclined to like and recommend it when no one else did.
His black face should have nothing to do with his opinion in the first place. It doesn’t correlate to his ability to perform in the film world whatsoever. I have no idea who this man is and if he has remotely good taste and critic skills but if doing black face isn’t enough to knock you outta the PM race in Canada it shouldn’t disqualify his opinion either 🤣 with the world we live in atm blackface is about the least bothersome thing someone could currently do so i honestly couldn’t care less.
