One part Great Man Theory with tons of navel gazing and genuflecting to a handful of star figures. One part Sorkin-esque courtroom drama.
Zero parts fun.
Three fucking hours long.
Don't waste your money on this shit bag, folks.

Yeah, I wonder why. Alright pal, think whatever you want and compare what I said to making excuses for saying the n-word. But anyone who takes the phrase "baby brained" as some kind of serious, toxic insult is clearly as tightly wound as a watch. People like you and your asshole, attacking replies are an example of the exact reason WHY I'm so fucking tired of talking about and hearing media discussion on this site. You're right, I should have never voiced my displeasure at all, because then I wouldn't have had to deal with all your weird pent up anger.

Yes, casual ableism is "some kind of serious, toxic insult." And it's not normalized to the extend of "stupid" or "dumb," so what does that tell us when you would stoop to casual ableism because people here are shitting on your favorite treat?
It actually is on this website
Also, what is "casual ableism"?

You come off to most people (myself included, though I have genuine sympathy and we've discussed this) as being more of an obsessive crank, which is a different genre of complainer. I say this as someone who gets called a joyless scold regularly because I'm really anal-retentive about almost everything, as evidenced even by this comment.
You really could work on coming off in a less presumptuous manner (who the fuck was talking about grimdark?, not her) though I think you otherwise tend to be correct.

She was being unreasonable on multiple counts and if you look at the replies you will see that I made almost the exact point in your edit, but you aren't helping to herd someone back into reality by ascribing all of this other stuff to them that might be true but most likely isn't. When someone else is going off the rails, that is all the more reason to try to be grounded about things.
She was being ableist because people didn't like some shitty movie. Let's keep things in perspective.

In this case? I agree that it's totally too late, I just wanted to mention it for your future reference since you, like myself, will get into many more arguments with weird people about media.
I'm not a huge fan of Anthony Fantano, but I had some of his videos on in the background the other day and he has a couple from when he went on the Twitch stream of the "#1 Drake Stan" at the latter's invitation in order to discuss his negative-to-lukewarm ratings of recent Drake albums. I thought Fantano did an excellent job of not doing the "calmly DESTROYS crying Drake FANBOY with LOGIC" thing but treating him as a human being and trying to come to some kind of an understanding (though there was some ribbing and I'd be lying if I claimed I didn't enjoy that). If you're ever likewise looking for background noise with not the highest bar of quality, here's the first one. I've got a friend who is kind of like he was here, so I appreciated it.
