of course. consensus.
Just that your beef is with the types of movies critics go for not so much for RT itself. Splitting hairs I guess but like go birds said, you know what they go for going in.
Much has been made of Russell’s conflation of sexual and religious frenzy in the film, particularly the infamous, largely unseen “Rape of Christ” scene,
I may or may not have that on one of my external hard drives, but if not, it's easy enough for me to grab. Been on my list for a while, though I'm more interested in seeing Altered States.
-Black Mass--pretty good though i couldnt get over how much jesse plemmons looks like matt damon and was imagining black mass being in the same universe as the departed
-99 Homes--surprisingly good too--another RT high scorer that i felt hit the mark. Michael Shannon is so intimidating in everything he does so plays a pretty good villain
-Crimson Peak--SNOOZE FEST. am i the only one who finds del toro incredibly overrated? the guy hasnt made a good movie since hell boy. simply put his movies are boring as hell. Fun to look at, but incredibly dull overall. Don't bother

We saw Black Mass this weekend and I enjoyed that very much.

Yeah and the race switch actually brought high personal stakes beyond not getting to a party to try to have sex with a girl.

I still am not sure whether it was worth seeing. Fringy. It was a AAAA movie.
