Chris Chan's brother angers Hollywood

31  2017-12-12 by shitpost953

Cole Smithey is Chris Chan's long-lost half-brother. In a desperate bid for relevance he has seemingly decided to burn any small amount of credibility he had as a film critic and given Ladybird a bad review, thus sullying it's 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and sperging the internet, a family tradition.

The armpit city of Sacramento will forever be indebted to Greta Gerwig for making it seem like a much better place than it is to live.

Weak bait, Cole. You'll never crawl out of your brother's autistic shadow that way.

Sacramento is a pretty good city.

Chris makes autism look effortless. Cole has to work for it.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Fuck yeah it's been many a saga without a Cole appearance. The good Lord truly provides.

How else has Cole been involved in CWC sagas?

He hasn't been all that much. During the PaRappa contest Chris promised to ask Barb about Cole's real dad in exchange for a vote.

Other than that Chris just tries to get in contact with him from time to time to ask for favours or whatever.

This is not the first time this has happened

He was also one in two reviewers who gave Toy Story 3 a bad review (he said it was to "intense" for the little ones)

That's objectively correct though. I mean, I liked it like everyone else, but it was blatant nostalgiabaiting for its own sake. Literally cinematic masturbation.

What does that have to do with it being "too intense"

Ke yourself safe

that's true. I loved it but my little cousin was scared. I became a little concerned at points as well.

muh nostalgia

.....I kinda agree with that. Buzz Lightyear got brainwashed and tortured, toys tried to murder each other, I did feel like it was too much.

He gave both Dunkirk and Logan F's.

but is he right. ladybird looks a little meh to me.

What’s lady bird about and why does it deserve such high praise

Wacjy antics of Hank Hill's dog. Really a heartwarmer.

Critics lavish praise on female directed/starring films as well as films about minorities. Like affirmative action for movie reviews.

"FEMOIDS OUT OUT OUT"

I want to go back to Shakespearean days when all the actors were men, even the women.

Oscar-bait movie about a white girl.

This is wrong.

Not really.

How is it oscar bait?

Coming of age story about a self centered ginger girl

It’s pretty well made but it falls into some indie tropes (main character tries super hard to be different and quirky, like she dyes her hair a weird shade of red and demands to be called Lady Bird for no apparent reason)

My favorite coming of age story is still Stand By Me but that’s probably cause I’m a guy so I related to it more

Ladybird is alright but it's not 100

why even have multiple critics if youre not allowed to have your own opinion

It’s a catch-22. On one hand, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. On the other hand, you have to wonder if he’s trashing it just for attention.

It’s impossible for a film for this many reviews to get a perfect 100% score though. Most of the ones that have a 100% score have less than 100 reviews.

you have to wonder if he’s trashing it just for attention.

i mean he prob is but thats what critics do its all just personal opinion

i think people are just butthurt their fav film is tarnished

I think some of the backlash comes from the fact that he gave the film a 3/5, B- rating on his site, which has consistently resulted in him giving films a fresh rating when submitting to Rotten Tomatoes, and yet for Lady Bird (which he reviewed months after most other critics), he determined that to be a score worthy of a rotten.

I'm just going off of what I can gather from reading up on the situation, tho.

looks like a shit movie, zero super heroes and the main bitch is uggo.

"If indoctrinating child audiences into accepting, and enjoying, brutal deadly violence was the intent of the filmmakers responsible for making “Logan,” then their mission is accomplished." - Cole Smithey, reviewing an R-rated movie.

Didn't expect anything else from someone related to Chris chan
