frankly I can't believe Gibson is allowed anywhere near a studio. an utterly vile pos and further proof that cancel culture doesn't exist.

excitersoundsystem.bsky.social•155 days ago

Thanks for the heads-up. It seems being a film critic isn't quite the cushy job most people think it is...ha ha

alyssawillett.bsky.social•155 days ago

when was wahlberg good in anything?

timinno.bsky.social•155 days ago

It’s a limited selection, but The Departed…

alyssawillett.bsky.social•155 days ago

ugh very true! that is a good one

justmelodie.bsky.social•155 days ago

Boogie Nights, Three Kings and Traveller for sure. Some would add The Perfect Storm, Lone Survivor, The Fighter and Fear. Many say The Departed, but personally I don’t think his performance was special.

Note all those films are at least 12 years old now. But there once was real talent. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The Yards

whizzo.bsky.social•155 days ago

The second trailer gave everyone the entire plot, I felt like I've seen the movie already.

paragraphfilms.bsky.social•155 days ago

Loved the Embargo special & rant. The trailer gives away the entire plot, and thats the most insane hair-do I've sen on a "leading" man!!!!

ebolaphone.bsky.social•155 days ago

Is it as bad as Megalopolis?

ministryoffilmpod.bsky.social•155 days ago

High bar!

ebolaphone.bsky.social•155 days ago

Subterranean bar more like, so I hear :)

ministryoffilmpod.bsky.social•155 days ago

Listen, it’s all about bar positioning, but wherever it is Megalopolis leaves it behind

rumdoodle.bsky.social•155 days ago

Mel Gibson directs Marky Mark? I'm sure it's amazing, no need to watch the review

tellmewhatyousaw.bsky.social•150 days ago

They're also kinda similar in acting styles. Both Mel Gibson and Marky Mark do that barely concealed wound up anxiety thing till it all pops off!

nickturton.bsky.social•155 days ago

It's obviously so good that they don't want to damage other movie's tickets sales too early.

sdamackay.bsky.social•155 days ago

The trailers don’t even mention the name of Mel Gibson, save for as the “director of Apocalypto and Braveheart.” Backhand endorsement??

frankbannister.bsky.social•155 days ago

And then they put out a very unhinged promo just with Gibson

coolv.bsky.social•145 days ago

Ewww, so much cringe.

sdamackay.bsky.social•155 days ago

I’ve worked too long and too hard on my sobriety to let myself watch that… 😂

frankbannister.bsky.social•155 days ago

It's... something.

thesheldonhicks.bsky.social•155 days ago

…I’m gonna say…and please hear me out on this…cuz it’s rubbish?

phil0sophicai.bsky.social•155 days ago

Went to the cinema last night (to see Bob Dylan flick) and they had a short trailer on repeat in the lobby / bar. It made me laugh listening to the embargo special today when mentioned about keeping the directors name quiet as it was not on that and I didn’t notice on the long trailer later!

phil0sophicai.bsky.social•155 days ago

No chance of going now I know director and having heard your review

phil0sophicai.bsky.social•155 days ago

Didn’t notice it when watching the long trailer later either. Either they don’t want to put people off or he does not want to be associated with the film? Wahlbergs name was flashed up constantly! Does not look like my kind of film anyway and the trailer felt like the majority of the film any way

stupidfacerob.bsky.social•155 days ago

“Bum-foolery” is genius 😂

tigon20.bsky.social•154 days ago

Because it's film of the year, naturally

andrewjaipresly.bsky.social•151 days ago

But Mark Wahlberg 😀👏🏼

mikelinny.bsky.social•155 days ago

Because its so good it would be all anyone would talk about for the next 7 weeks?

aboutashark.bsky.social•152 days ago

The trailer lost me when Mark Wahlberg’s hairdo was revealed…

frankgrouch.com•155 days ago

damn. i wanted to see this because i like unhinged whalberg; but finding out gibson directed im good on this

bobjim.bsky.social•155 days ago

This is acting, apparently. Wahlberg is the new Roger Moore.

I pity you for having to sit through all the dross.

staceysmith.bsky.social•155 days ago

I'm going to guess it's bad..?

oddballwoofwoof.bsky.social•155 days ago

I'm surprised they released the trailer because that alone was really really bad. I like Mark Walhberg, he's had some good films, but his recent career choices have been questionable.

glh77.bsky.social•155 days ago

I’m guessing it’s not going to make Hollywood great again.

seymourcup.bsky.social•155 days ago

The liberal elite don't want you to see bald Mark Wahlberg.

djstelfox.bsky.social•135 days ago

Y'ALL NEED A PLOT?

thebellow.bsky.social•153 days ago

It's just too good for normal people to appreciate?

mskittysoftpaws.bsky.social•155 days ago

Your thorough and acerbic analysis of how shite it is has provided more entertainment than the film no doubt would do!
Thanks for the heads-up!
(And The Passion of the Christ 2?! He’s Back!
Just 🤯)

butterflycollector.bsky.social•155 days ago

I haven't heard the review yet but I'll take a wild guess that Mel is serving turkey a month too late
