However it wouldn't surprise me that the movie itself was junk.
But then you said Emma Stone has BO prior to watching poor things.. which I'm not sure you'd personally verified! So it's kind of the way you went about diminishing these actresses that led me on that train of thought. Maybe it's a british thing?  |
Wait, those are the reasons you thought I was a misogynist?
Don't forget how Emily Blunt distracts from Live Die Repeat because she can't close her mouth more than 50%. It's always hanging open. It's super annoying. Like...close your mouth. You can't sit there resting with your mouth half open and expect me to pay attention to anything else.
But...also don't forget these nuggets:
On a male actor:

I saw it on Sunday and literally had to look it up after your post to jog my memory about it. Very forgettable movie.

On a movie with two male leads:

Scott Pilgrim is painful to watch. So fataing painful. It's like that try-hard quirky humour/style that I hate. Similar style to Everything Everywhere All at Once or whatever the name of that ####ty movie is that is getting some Oscar buzz - that one I walked out of from sheer boredom with maybe 15 minutes left. I just couldn't do it anymore.

A whole series of movies with the same male lead:

More hate for a male lead that ruined a movie:

Crappiest movie I've seen in at least three years. Couldn't have been worse.

Not beefing with you or anything, but based on your rationale I honestly think you were just white-knighting/simping for female movie stars. I'm an equal opportunity hater and have expressed more hate for male-led movies in this thread than female. It's not intentional, though. I literally DGAF if it's a female leading a movie/show or male. It just doesn't register for me.
Another favourite show, btw, is Euphoria. Female and trans leads.
I kind of rest my case on this. I think it's indisputable that I'm in no way misogynistic.
