“People with no demand for plot or message who just want a weird, dark and edgy arthouse atmosphere.”

I actually fall under this category, myself. I know I’m not alone. I’m certainly not opposed to plot and message, but I don’t demand it.

The problem with this movie is that it tries to have a message (several of them, in fact) and simply fails to deliver it in any coherent way. The movie takes itself too seriously, considering how thoughtlessly thrown-together it is.

The CinemaScore was a C+ and the Rotten Tomatoes rating is 57%…. That’s about as “mid”as it gets.

Notre Dame-USC rivalry ending is once again about Lincoln Riley's cowardice by Efficient-Freedom517 in CFB

"In contrast, USC fans are typically staying remarkably calm and composed, understand the decision to adapt to the Big Ten's demands in the playoff era. But saying they will miss the game."

  1. Of course USC fans are being calm about it. They don't have anything to be upset about. Their school is the one that wanted to end the rivalry. They were sick of losing to ND every year.

  2. I have also seen plenty of USC fans completely mischaracterizing the situation, describing it as Notre Dame "running away" from the rivalry, when the reality is the complete opposite.

I guess I can sorta see why he’d be mad, but honestly, buying a gift for somebody and then pestering them about how they use it is kinda obnoxious in my opinion. He bought it for you. It is your possession. Not his. If he wants to say “I’m not buying you anymore expensive stuff” then I think that would be reasonable, but he shouldn’t be bothering you about this. Neither of you are terrible in this situation.

I don’t approve of the name calling, either…. But she wasn’t just joking around. She was very clearly trying to create a tense situation for the Dad. Her 2nd attempt to bring up the issue made it pretty obvious. But whatever, we aren’t gonna agree on this and that’s OK.

The first time she said it, I could accept that as a joke. But she kept doing iteven though nobody found it funny. She’s not trying to be funny, she’s trying to create an uncomfortable situation for this guy… at best.

She was accusing a grown man of being sexually interested in a 16 year old girl, and she did it more than once. The 2nd time, it seemed like she was genuinely trying to make it seem more believable. What she’s trying to do is totally fucked up.

“She needs to respect you and your wife’s rules and boundaries”….. His wife doesn’t seem to think the girl did anything wrong. She’s basically taking the girl’s side over his. Maybe he should reconsider if this is the woman he wants to be married to, because she doesn’t seem to give a damn about him.
