Roofman Is a Bright Romantic Comedy with a Melancholy Core Roofman, starring Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst, is a comedy until it isn’t.

1. Channing and Kirsten are right, and 2. ROOFMAN is great, and I wish more people had seen it in theaters.

Year-end critics’ lists exist for people to fight over, so I’m happy when people complain about them. But the complaint I will never get is, β€œI’ve never heard of most of these movies/albums/shows.” Yes, and? Why be mad about learning about stuff you didn’t know before from the news?

Agree it's not great, but there's an inherent sweetness to it. Does make you think about why they're no longer working together.

I'm sorry, but this movie looks like it was dropped in a mud puddle.

Filmmakers going after filmmakers (or similar) doesn't bother me as much as filmmakers going after actors. Even a bad actor is taking a risk; other artists should at least recognize that fragility. Critics, meanwhile...we were put on God's green Earth to trash-talk, so please just leave it to us!

Also, from 30 years of experience, FYI for anyone just starting out: When people do this to you as a criticβ€”challenge you to a duelβ€”you owe them nothing.

Being accused of using ChatGPT because I liked a movie someone else didn't. These are truly f**ed-up times we're living in.

Marty Supreme Is as Hollow as a Ping Pong Ball TimothΓ©e Chalamet plays a rising 1950s table-tennis star, who’s so driven to succeed he doesn’t care who gets trampled in his upward climb.

A supreme disappointment: I did not love MARTY SUPREME. time.com/7337705/mart...

Imagine being so far gone into Trumpism/Republicanism that you would say this to someone who was shot in the head in an act of political violence.
