Hey, could you add an option to let us delete/edit reviews after we post them? Sometimes there’s mistakes I don’t catch at first.
lmao – they rip off Memento and have the balls to call the protagonist Nolan?
Welcome back! Literally shouted “Beertje Blauw!” when I saw ur review. Thought you were gone for good. Same with Mondo Mirth. (Miss that lil nigga…) But I don’t want any pressure to stick around or write weekly reviews because it’s not like you’re paid staff or anything. Which is why I don’t want to check in or comment like a guilt tripping lonely mother. But I appreciate all you guys, especially the O.G. ones that have been around since the beginning.
Idk if you saw, but I tried hiring someone to manage social media and post relevant memes. Well, you get what you pay for (and I can’t afford professionals quite yet) so I left for 2 months without checking up on her. Turns out she was posting gore and normie memes and unrelated cat videos. Guess my instructions weren’t clear. Needless to say, I immediately discontinued that and deleted all her social media posts. ? Likewise with a guy trying to help with SEO. All that came from that was now each site tab now says “Is X woke?” which I’m not sure even helps us rank higher.
All that is to say that I’ve given up on trying to grow it as a top priority. At least for the time being, and instead view ZR as an artist collective type project. A webzine or journal so that even if you leave and never write another review, at least there will be a collection of reviews and musings for ppl to look at. Same for if we never get hockey stick social network type growth. The work put into it thus far still has value.
So, I’ll focus on improving features and UI gradually until I can secure some more money to do it quicker. In the meantime, your feedback is always welcome and we’ll prioritize it. But feel free to come and go as you please.
( Also, in regards to the younger folks: I’m trying to get a banner ad on AmRen or other sites so we get a more diverse ecosystem. More classic movies and articulate old guy reviews to balance out the shit posting and anime obsession. I went to the 2024 AmRen convention and got a few older fellas to contribute reviews too. You just might not know which of us are geezers. ? )
Yeah, perhaps. The child is going through a crisis due to the death of his mother and the move to a new place with his father’s new wife. He is not accepting her, and he’s facing trouble at his new school. In his troubled imagination this story plays out, in which he accepts a new mother, decides to take responsibility for his own life. And then, the painful chapter comes to an end.
Video review with a contrarian (positive) recommendation. Argent claims that the movie isn’t woke, and the arguments show that it isn’t *explicitly*. Argents threshold for wokeness seems pretty tolerant of it, but his points stand.
Lots of spoilers in the review, Argent goes through pretty much the entire plot.

My one suggestion is that you shouldn’t necessarily have given up on the ‘RightWingTomatoes’ parody name. It’s just an amazing and immediately intuitive brand name recognition thing. Easy to remember and says immediately what it is and what it’s for. I imagine it’s what brought most people here and garnered you attention in the first place (it’s certainly what first brought me here). And I don’t think it necessarily signals a boomer normiecon kind of worldview anymore. The ‘right-wing’ label in popular understanding is increasingly extending beyond that to the ‘alt’ and ‘dissident’ edges. And besides, you say you welcome all perspectives, right?
Also I must say it seems kind of silly for this, of all sites, to be censoring ‘slurs’.
Anyhow, just my tuppence. Thanks for creating and running this thing!
Glad you like it! Keep coming back and speak your mind so we can continue to improve.
Yeah idk what gives. We use cloudflare but maybe we’ve had a spike in traffic lately? Working on improving UI and SEO right now which includes getting rid of superfluous shit. Anyways, glad you like it. Stay tuned…
You know what, I should have rated it higher, 4 point something.
Biggest shame to me is it could have been a decent commentary on addiction/substance abuse, pride/chasing fame, and modern women refusing to age gracefully, but instead of an ending that ties those themes together and says something, it’s lolsorandumb cheap gore shock porn. Disappointing.
Fuckin’ lol. Damn dude. I knew it was goy slop shlocky romcom B movie, but not Dogshit Popcorn!
I figured I’d get some pushback on this review. I think the last time that happened was with “Talk To Me” (2022) because I said I didn’t mind the gaggle of negresses and changs in the cast. But for this, you can tell it’s a cheesy 90’s movie from the poster and release date. And the trailer. Didn’t think I needed to give a heads up about that.
I love 80’s and 90’s movies because they are unapologetically upbeat. I enjoy dark and gritty realistic movies but now everything is too self aware and makes meta jokes that break the fourth wall or try to one up each other with realism. I’m tired of every actor being ugly and frumpy. I want to watch gorgeous people LARP as normal.
Also, c’mon man! Loving animals is the Whitest thing you can do. Would love to read your review of “The Cove” (2009).
Anyways, hilarious excoriating review. Sorry to have led you astray.
I can’t properly review films, because the area where the review goes, cut’s off half way and is missing some elements, like the ability to score for woke.
long, detailed review, and managed to do so without spoiling much.
Great and accurate review. I’d just like to add that the movie is set in modern londen, with obvious implications.
By the way, I do not recommend the book of the same name, on which this series was filmed. The original story has more depression and hopelessness, less humor and romance. In general, the creators of the series significantly reworked the original work, and this was to its advantage.
KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Great seeing a lot of young people on this site, hope it grows.
a gaggle of ancient broads with one foot in the casket and they still think they deserve a tom brady. the limits of hypergamy are truly beyond reason.
I decided to play Terminator 3: Dark Fate. Of course, I chose the maximum difficulty – Realism. The tutorial missions went relatively well, though I had to sweat a bit to ensure at least some of my squad survived and progressed to the next missions. The game works like this: you start with certain squads, and some of them carry over to the next mission. They gain experience and unlock new skills. In different missions, you can recruit new squads. There are also city outposts where you can purchase personnel and equipment. You can also loot vehicles during missions: cars, Humvees, and even tanks.
However, there’s a catch: the larger your squad, the more resources it consumes, and resources are limited. This presents a dilemma: what to sell and what to keep and develop. Resources are always scarce, so you need to invest in the most effective units and upgrade them. Vehicles and tanks can also be upgraded with armor, weapons, and engine modifications.
The game feels like a Mad Max-style survival experience, with a convoy of vehicles racing through the desert: small maneuverable cars, APCs, makeshift artillery on trailers, and trucks carrying supplies and fuel. There can also be separate transport trucks. The entire team is self-sufficient; if you run out of fuel and a tank stops, it’s essentially lost and won’t make it to the next mission.
There’s a wide variety of units: assault troops, snipers, special forces, etc. You need to assemble your team to have several self-sufficient groups that can hold various points on the map, as missions often require controlling multiple locations.
When I started the main missions after the tutorial, I really struggled. Maps that were supposed to take an hour ended up taking 10 hours to complete. Even then, victory wasn’t guaranteed. I reached the cartel city, where enemy Humvees with artillery prevented me from approaching. I managed to defeat them with tremendous effort, but then decided to go back two missions to acquire my own artillery. I replayed those missions, bought artillery, and dismantled the Humvees.
Eventually, I completed the game. Even towards the end, I was still learning new things. Such hardcore games are interesting because you can’t beat them on the first try. I think this game is underappreciated by the gaming community due to its specific gameplay – strategy games aren’t very popular nowadays because they require thinking, which many modern gamers find unappealing. Nevertheless, the game turned out to be very successful and provides a unique gaming experience not found in other titles.
