[@Fabricant451] That comment really didn't deserve the split analysis. It was also replying (partially sarcastically) to a defense of what boils down to "Don't knock it, till you try it."

1. See above statement. But if you think it's hard to pull out reasons that Oscars aren't taken seriously by many more people than me. It won't feel like it to me. But it's hard to really nail an opinion down...

2. If you read it all first, before responding to it, you would have seen the very next sentence of "No, not really."

3. I respectfully disagree. I'm admittedly picky with my movies, so you can take what I say with a grain of salt. But I don't need to see every bad movie or movies that I know weren't made for me to watch, to know not to bother with them. Again it's not even like I just watch a trailer and make my mind up, I almost read other material and see the general reviews and what they talk about. Most times I do see a movie anyway, it rarely turns out favorably.

Well I'd agree with the statement "The fact that different people come away with different interpretations of the ideas and themes presented should be counted as a strength." But literally every review nails the same points down. And it's not just imdb reviews, hence why I begged not to make me find more. Websites, Rotten Tomatoes, take your pick. The racial messages/stereotype commentary wasn't missed by a soul. But I'm willing to accept there's probably other things to like for people. I'm sure those who like comedy in horror, enjoyed all the Key & Peele style humor. Maybe if they make a comedy, I'd be more inclined.

4. Again, you wouldn't have said something that makes you look like you didn't read what I wrote. If you read it all at once. Because this question is already been answered. "Even if I agreed with the point of it, and assuming what I've read about it, I would."

5. See previous point. If you're going to criticize the site, and not just reviews as a whole. Find me one site that doesn't mention the racial message anywhere in the review. (and if you can manage that, I'll see how "well written" it is.)

6. [i]I read other material. I watch reviews. I have friends who watch movies too and have similar tastes. I'm watching you and somebody else lecture me how you can't believe I don't like the subtle movie that you both know is about 'benevolent racism' when everything said about it thus far proves my point further.[/i]

7. Not always, but it isn't comparable. But then again, it comes down to taste. Comedy and Horror are opposing tones. I'm not saying it can never work. But that's why I take more things into consideration.

8. See previous statements that have already repeated, "I don't actually just use IMDB, to decide what movies to not blow 12 bucks a pop on in theaters." But your own words give it away...

"So you don't agree that systemic racism is a thing and that people that champion for colored people are often just as racist as the more overt racists?"

Getting off into the weeds, Systemic racism can't be portrayed or actually be 'subtle' because its an entire system. The idea the thing that controls everything and everyone is somehow a subtle idea is preposterous. I digress. I'm willing to assume Key & Peele made their message/satire as slick as they possibly could.

I'm not the kind of guy to complain/boycott about the content (or perceived content) of a movie. You should be free to make whatever kind of movie you want. You using Oscars to defend movies that you like. Isn't really that much different from using review aggregate scores to make my decision on watching it. If you seriously watch literally all movies, play all games and listen to every album on the planet without looking at any outside content to influence your purchasing power/time spent. Godspeed. I simply won't be able to help myself.

Edit for other comment: I actually was going use him for a point though I passed for another easy target, but since you brought him up. Do you need to watch all the transformers movies and ninja turtles? You never know their quality and all the potential themes if you don't watch 'em. Don't forget to watch the director's cut, where it added an extra hour of explosions and racial stereotypes.
