He’s got a point about movies growing on people, of course. However, a movie’s opening weekend is most likely going to be its biggest. Also, it’s generally agreed that Ares is terrible, this isn’t the kind of film people will look back on in ten or twenty years and think “this is actually a hidden gem!”
Ip Man 2: great kung-fu flick with fantastic acting, as expected from Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung. Equally great action.

Are these the same users that that vowed to boycott Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Substack? Or are these the same users that vowed to boycott when Spotify started banking Joe Rogan and other rightwingers?
I’ve stopped using all of the above years ago, I’m no hypocrite, but I also know the number of people who will drop Spotify over this are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of its massive user base. Nothing will ever change when it comes to big social media/tech companies like this because too many people don’t actually care.
Whatever tiny hope of correcting this died when Trump was re-elected. It’s been game over for a while now. That’s not to say we shouldn’t try to make a difference where we can, but it’s too late for Earth.
