“Professional” Wresting is also very successful.
I would put them in similar categories.
At this point, you could just say, “Well, the critics are wrong, I liked the movie”.
…
Why ride the train off the tracks with him?
Nearly four billion people disagree?
Way out.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actor Cuba Gooding Jr pleaded not guilty on Thursday to new charges of sexual misconduct involving a third woman, less than a month after pleading not guilty to accusations of groping one woman’s breasts and pinching another’s buttocks.
Wow.
A great thread about a WWII hero being honored by having an aircraft carrier named after him has devolved into a pissing contest about war movies. SMDH.

Well named.
Sad ain’t it? I say something nice about a black man and the “tolerant left” has to savage him and the movie.
I agree. A true hero.
Pearl Harbor really was trash.
Midway was a good watch.
Great, now even the Navy is woke virtue signaling.
How so?
My favorite Michael Bay send-up.
How is “I hope his family understands this honor” saying something nice?
You think there’s even the slightest reason to believe otherwise?
I see time has not mellowed anything.
This is a well deserved honor for an enlisted member of the United States Navy. He proved that he had what it takes to run towards battle, not from it. His ship and shipmates were under attack, he acted, in the finest traditions of a warrior, to fight back. Does it really have to be more than that?
