Wokeness and lack of basic education (geography, what 'Orient' means) aside, the state of film reviewing in the NYT, RogerEbert.com, Entertainment Weekly etc.
Never seen or heard of: >One of the most frequently adapted works of the 20th century >"From Russia With Love" >"Oriento Kyuko Satsujin Jiken", the capstone of FujiTV's anniversary celebrations. >The landmark 1974 Albert Finney adaptation.
Film reviewers have always been dumbass cinephile shut-ins, but these days you can remove the claim they know about film. We're just left with dumbasses. Is it time for them to stop?
Aaron Brooks
They dun goofed they should have done "ten little niggers" instead
Logan Gray
Why does that lady have a check next to her name? Does twitter give those out to anyone?
Jackson Green
> Saying the n-word You mean "ten little indians" ? Wait no, "And then there were none", so sorry.
Christian Adams
>Ten little soldiers
Camden Howard
I don't even know anything about the source material and even i can guess what the movie is about. Just from the title that it is called "The Orient Express" you can recognize that it's named that because it's owned by a foreign nation and can guess that it's mostly for foreigners. If you're from there it'd have some gook name and not "the orient".
Jack Phillips
She is a film journalist who writes for several top-tier outlets. Mostly, it must be said, just longer versions of the kind of comment she is making in the Tweet.
Logan Brooks
You might just be the dumbest man alive.
Cameron Ramirez
Why is there a FUCKING NIGGER
Brayden Parker
It seems so nowadays. Basically lost all meaning.
Angel Harris
Is nothing sacred
They couldn't leave my nigga Poirot alone
Aaron Cox
It's the name of a train that goes from Paris to Istanbul. You can still ride on it. The story is a murder mystery
Andrew Diaz
>Sean Connery character in Sidney Lumet's version is played by a nigger
JUST
Bentley Richardson
What is the point of all those Agatha Christie adaptations ? Aren't the killers always the same character ? Just watch the best version, skip all the remakes and bbc miniseries.
Jaxon Adams
Technically a train going from Paris to Istanbul probably doesn't have any white people on it.
Liam Bell
She isn't even on RT.
Nathan Young
>Brannagh casting himself as Poirot He either thinks he can do a better job than Suchet, then he's wrong. Or he's doing the noble thing, and taking the poison chalice, so nobody else has to.
Nicholas Brown
Has Suchet directed a MCU movie ? I don't fucking think so.
Brody Gonzalez
...
Jackson Lee
I liked that adaptation desu. Not spectacular, but perfectly comfortable post Boxing Day dinner watching.
Ryder Green
You're talking about a guy who has cast and directed himself as Henry V and Hamlet, of course he thinks he can do better.
Jayden Rodriguez
Is that Sam fucking Neill and Captain Flint? This looks like it has potential.
Jaxon Garcia
It deviates from the book in some minuscule ways but a solid adaptation, Except for the protag hallucinating
