Really? Worse than Borderlands and The Crow? Impressive.

Also: There's still time in the year for even worse shit to come out 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I haven't seen either, but my impression is that Borderlands, while trash, isn't actively harmful revisionist history, which is what I've been hearing about Reagan.

Bar was low, but still

Wouldn't Ronald Reagan hate Trump and what he's doing to the Republican party?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ronald didn't know what the fuck was going on in his second term

If anything I think they'd get along extremely well

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Reagan would have beat Trump within an inch of his life.

Who knows what Nancy would have done.

Slurped him into a theocracy

Don't put that evil on Hailey Welch, she doesn't seem like the "goes to psychics for policy decisions for my dementia addled husband's presidency" type, Hawk Tua hurl would have sucked him out of the presidency and into the old folks home instead.

Sucked his dick like the professional she was

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

She would have said no.

Did I miss something? I didn’t see any numbers article. borderlands and Crow did terrible based on revenue.

Worst as in artistically worst. We’ll have to wait and see if the conservatives start giving away free tickets to boost its box office.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ugh, they do do that, don't they. I've heard of that from God Awful Movies when they visit Christian movies in theatre, places are ghost towns sometimes (and those movies sometimes end with the maker begging people to buy extra tickets).

Also this movie might be a contender, if it's enough of a flat out lie of a movie, lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Back when I was forced to go to church, there used to be drives where we would take a second offering to buy up tickets for Christian movies in the theaters and "give them to people who needed to see the movie." I went to one once. I was the only one there. Where did that money go, huh?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think you know, haha. The podcast I mentioned also sometimes has guests who had to sit through those things a kids, so that tracks. It's probably funny/sad to revisit some of those films.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

The only nostalgia I have for anything Christian was for a Legend of Zelda clone that I played as a kid called Spiritual Warfare. I kinda want to go back and play it, but I have so many other, better things to do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I would even consider watching it of they covered it!

*The worst movie of the year so far

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Directed by Sean McNamara, the artist behind 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain, Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite, and Baby Geniuses and the Treasure of Egypt and its follow-up Baby Geniuses and the Space Baby, Reagan

Perfect.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's no way it's worse than Borderlands, The Crow, and Argylle

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It is fiction that pretends he was a great person, I wouldn't doubt how bad it is.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

Bad people make great stuff, you don't see people pretending that House Of Cards is terrible.

I'm sure the film is either good or average. For my part, I'd like to see it, but am waiting til I'm more informed on Reagan's life so that the movie doesn't skew my perception of him. I'm expecting this movie to be a biased portrayal of him life, much like the upcoming Trump movie.
