A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Oh no liberals didn’t like a movie! Cry me a river!

I don’t care what critics think. I enjoyed the movie. Form your own opinion and don’t expect others to think for you.

While most of the movie was just eh, the take aways were worth the price of admission.

Hold on a sec, let me see if I'm translating this correctly.

Liberals hate this movie. Critics hate this movie. Therefore, critics are all liberals.

Do I have that thought process about right? Do you think that there might be any other reason that a movie critic--people who have a professional obligation to watch and critique films--might not like this film? Or is the only possible reason that they didn't like it--despite whatever they wrote--is because they're politically liberal?

What you're saying is on par with claiming that the only people that didn't like Battlefield Earth are people that hate Scientology.

Why would I care if critics hate something? Are you someone that needs to be told what to like?

I am making no such claim. I’m saying I enjoyed the movie. I don’t need a critic to tell me to like or dislike something. I’m an adult. I can make up my own mind.

...Because it's expensive to go see a movie in the theaters, and going to see something that's probably going to suck is a waste of time too?

I pirated 'Borderlands', and I still got ripped off. Knowing that 'Borderlands' was only a slightly bigger pile of shit than 'Reagan', why would I want to waste the time and kill the braincells to figure out that the critics were right about Reagan, too?

I enjoyed Reagan. I think it was well the 5 dollars.

Had no interest in borderlands. It looked like garbage.
