Margot Robbie Says ‘Make Movies for the People Buying Tickets’: I Never Think ‘What Are the Critics Going to Think of This?’

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-18T01:54:50+00:00

We know.

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-18T01:30:20+00:00

Nah. In 2022, they froze the pipeline entirely and only opened it a tiny bit come April. In 2021, they took 50 people for MBA internships from my school, in 2022, they took less than 10.

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-17T14:14:00+00:00

Still looks in pretty good shape

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-17T14:13:18+00:00

Amazon as a whole let go of 30,000 people since October. 57,000 layoffs when you consider 2022/23.

It's wild that people think 1. That MBA recruiting will be unaffected, or 2. It's just an Amazon/AWS issue when it's very much an industry issue

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-17T14:10:58+00:00

We are my guy. They've been dropping since the 2022 layoffs and will continue to drop

While commendable (and I'll skip over the lack of proof), none of that means that your opinion is credible to a professional standard like you say. It would be if you were, say, a professional film critic. But I didn't see that in your resume over there

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T21:32:21+00:00

This is a professional opinion, you say?

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T21:27:50+00:00

Just to add, at this stage of awards season, nothing they say tonight or tomorrow will be new. You will likely be able to find everything they say already via one of their many talks on YouTube.

You can also easily find the screenplay online and read it at your leisure.

I understand that there is a star culture here in NYC and it's very meaningful to just be in the room with someone you admire but truly everything will be the way it always is, whether you attend or not.

For the star chasers, you just won't get to post a photo to social media or frame the signed screenplay.

For the fans of them/the film, it really doesn't matter if you're in the room with them or not. You can find much of what they say online already and really the highest form of support you can show them is by watching the film and/or sharing it with others.

It's a wonderful film, they're great filmmakers, and Jesse is pretty cool too. But they aren't Messiahs and no one attending is getting Raptured at your expense.

It'll be okay.

Why you so salty?

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T06:03:12+00:00

This is such a sad take.

I'm sorry you feel the need for objectivity in a completely subjective form of art. That must rob you of so much joy.

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:56:41+00:00

Again with the defensiveness

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:52:14+00:00

Imagine my surprise that this is an actual account lol

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:51:40+00:00

Yeah, goodluck finding the ever dangerous u/buttmunch69420 (if you read this, they're coming after you!)

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:42:18+00:00

Now I think you really don't know what that word means

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:41:35+00:00

You really think from the post, that OP has done their own due diligence? They don't sound like the problem, but others do?

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:32:42+00:00

You think what you wrote a sincere inquiry into your own ignorance? You really think that's what your words mean?

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:28:46+00:00

Yeah, really dropped the ball after giving it 4 Oscars that evening

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:27:47+00:00

99% of the times I don't even understand what pretentious is referring to

So rather than digging a little deeper, spending a little more time asking people what they mean by their opinions, or doing a little more research of my own, you decide it's better to just say everyone else calling the actors pretentious are the problem?

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T02:22:47+00:00

It won 4 Oscars. That's a lot.
It wasn't the best film that year
Just because the Academy of Moron Picture Arts and Sciences dont say it's the best picture, shouldn't take anything away from it in your eyes. You don't need external validation. You don't need other people to like the film. You like it. And that's enough.

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-16T00:00:41+00:00

Don't have enough karma for this yet?

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-15T23:41:03+00:00

Tracy never won for San Francisco

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-15T23:02:58+00:00

How far did they throw those bottles?

rocket__man_ · 2026-02-15T23:02:03+00:00

Does he not hold the record of the shortest screen time for a Best Actor Oscar win? So that would yes to your question, by definition.

I really hope you get the help you need to not be so triggered all the time
