BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is, in my opinion, not half-good. ⭐️⭐️
I might enjoy it if I watched it a second time as a sort of experiment to make a 140 minute movie composed entirely of biopic cliches.

A movie about Freddy Mercury can be a lot of things but it shouldn’t be boring.
“Not half-bad” means it is more than half good.

I ran out of space. Zero stars is a travesty.

I try to be discerning in what I watch so zero stars doesn’t come up very often.
It was ... pretty good? Serviceable. Mannered, occasionally straying into hammy. Points subtracted for not singing. Oscar voters sure liked it.
YOU'VE GOT MAIL might be a zero star movie, for example.
Depends when you count the modern age beginning.

In 2000 I'd propose MULHOLLAND DRIVE qualifies.
Much more recently, I think FIRST REFORMED is probably worthy.

There have been dozens in between.

When medicine is operated for profit, human sickness inevitably becomes a product, and human health inevitably becomes the competition against it.

#Medicare4All
Every once in a while I stop and consider how curing cancer would be absolutely devastating to our current healthcare system, unless the cure could be made prohibitively expensive.
To be clear, it would not be devastating to healthcare workers, but to the system. This injustice, like other injustices, is systemic.

Opinion: Giving Dad credit for driving mom to the hospital after breaking her jaw is the best way to unite the family.
Donald Trump orchestrated the death of 300,000 people because his ego couldn't allow the notion that a disaster was happening during his presidency.

The Washington Post should be ashamed to print such trash.

What does “unity” mean, if before unity, you can’t afford insulin, and after unity, you still can’t afford insulin?
What does “unity” mean, if before unity, you are terrorized by racist cops, and after unity, you are still terrorized by racist cops?
If you want unity, work for universal health care, universal education, shelter for all, livable wages for all, and police who are accountable to their communities. End food insecurity. Clean people’s water. Build mass transportation and sustainable energy.

That’s unity.

Strong endorsement for Sally Yates.
Let's do lots of things that the people who are literally destroying this country don't like.

As many as we can.
Appoint her by executive order in the break, then.

Or appoint her as "acting" AG indefinitely. We already know that's allowed.

Enough cowtowing to this negation politics. We can't let the Senate blockade the functioning of government.

DEADPOOL is, in my opinion, not half-bad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'll admit this one benefits from pretty low expectations on my part. It's not clever, but it does the pose it does as well as such a thing can be done.

Ryan Reynolds was born to the part, which I mean as both a compliment and an insult.
Anyway I enjoyed it mostly and I laughed a few times and I really liked seeing a crazy pairing like Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead and I might someday watch the sequel and I never will feel compelled to see it again. So there you go.
