I too would like to be independently wealthy so I had nothing else to do but pay for trainers, equipment, and just get shredded.
Let’s be clear here. He probably isn’t paying these trainers.
That’s the cool thing about being rich and famous, you no longer have to spend your money!
I would also accept someone else paying for it if they also paid me the money so I don’t have to work to live.
Someone could hire me the best trainers in the world and cook every single meal for me and do airplane noises as they flew it into my mouth and I'd probably fuck off to Arby's at midnight to pour whiskey in a Jamocha shake that I stir with mozzarella sticks, just out of protest
I would lose my fucking mind having to do three hours of crunches a day while eating only celery. I could be rich as all hell and still look how I look, a million dollars wouldn't make me suddenly less bored by extended exercise. I'd be a pissy little baby the entire time, I can't even pretend

I'd love to get paid to exercise, AKA the only thing that manages my anxiety and existential dread. Or just not have the anxiety and dread; that's also acceptable.
It's just the amount of time during the day to build and maintain that physique would prevent me from doing other things
The diet would not bother me but it gets into the crazy world of sports medicine pretty quickly

without watching it, i can very confidently believe blood and honey earned its bad ratings.
While I get annoyed by people regurgitating opinions on stuff they haven't seen, I think that's a different phenomenon from looking at a 3 percent Fresh rating on a movie with shitty trailers, screenshots, and summaries, and going, "Well I bet that's not very good"

yeah sometimes i just think something can be bad starting at the origin or premise of the project
Honestly if I could just get paid to be in obscenely good shape, rather than having to either DIY it or pay someone out of my normal income, I'd have a much easier time with it
The amount of protein and unsaturated fat it takes to get properly fit means there's actually some room for good eating in there, the real problem comes with having a sedentary lab job that means that protein and unsaturated fat is most of what I can eat unless I am doing enough endurance cardio exercise before or after work to merit their intake

Believe me, I’m not telling anyone to go out and watch the movie. If you’ve seen the trailers and think it looks terrible you’re most likely not going to feel different when you watch it.
I just think it’s not nearly as bad as most people seem to think.
But if you’ve read any of my posts that shouldn’t be all that surprising.
Also a movie doesn't need 100% odds of sucking for me to skip it
I don't like wasting my time, so if there's an even like 30% chance of having a bad time I will probably pick something with a lower risk rate. More media than I can possibly consume in one lifetime, gotta draw lines somewhere, maybe I skip the Murder Pooh story without too much guilt
Love Ebert in so many ways, but he had some baffling movie opinions sometimes. Especially in regards to horror.
Right on the money about video games tho
His negative review of Aliens, a movie I think is basically perfect, is really interesting

God i just miss that era of film criticism. Felt a whole less like trying to figure out a take or an angle for traction. Which paradoxically felt way more like you'd get the wild opinions. More fun to read.
Ghosts of Mars and Screamers were two movies people said were bad in general but had one or two people saying it was good to awesome
That's such a weird pairing! I absolutely love Screamers, it's one of the great short-story based sci-fi flicks from that era of everyone adapting every single Philip K. Dick or Harlan Ellison story. But Ghosts of Mars is in my mind as around the same level as like the fourth sequel to The Mummy.

Ebert was definitely not “right” all of the time but he always had a pretty interesting reasoning behind his reviews

I keep my basic review pretty simple
Did I have fun watching the movie?
Did it draw any serious emotion from me?
If either of those is yes, then I’m almost definitely going to give a movie a positive review.
No matter the subject, there’s no excuse for being boring.
This is basically the same criteria my dogs have when reviewing food.
And we all know Berners are the geniuses of the dog world.

Was just the other day reading Ebert's fairly glowing review of The Phantom from 1996
"one of the best-looking movies in a long time."
"The movie is also smashingly entertaining on the story level."
"[Director Simon Wincer] and Billy Zane find the right tone for the Phantom" is an especially beautiful line when you consider that Joe Dante later said it was written to be a spoof and nobody seemed to realize.

How was Cena in it?
Yeah, it’s Jake Gyllenhaal’s job to look hot.
I like to think I look hot, y’know, like… recreationally.

It wasn’t a good movie but it was perfectly fine for a slasher/monster type horror movie. I always thought 3% was incredibly low.
Very interesting movie. Cage is solid as he always is and it goes to places that you kind of don’t expect but then immediately realize are accurate.
I wonder how much was crazy disney super fans tying to intentionally drag it.
Probably a lot. I’m betting there’s a lot of negative shit from people who never even saw the movie.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty dumb, but I had some fun with it.

Murder Pooh 2 being good, or at least sufficiently better that people grading it on a scale are praising it? Interesting, arouses my curiosity
I refer to these as tech demos for practical gore.
Barely any substance beyond that.
I feel like they’re very similar levels of ridiculous just taking place in different eras.
6 reviews versus 62 reviews, I think it's a little early to start planning your watch party.
