Ocean's Eight (2018)
People seem to not understand how movie reviews work.
In all honesty, this movie is probably a 7. The cast is great, loved everyone. Biggest problems for me were a mediocre plot and that I wanted to see more of everyone than we actually saw.
People seem to be giving this a 1 for no descernable reason (besides maybe sexism? or a lack of understanding of how a 1-10 scale works?). One review even said "This is not a horrible movie" in the review but still gave it a 1. That's not how that works yo. A few others specifically use the trend of gender-swapping movies to bash this one without actually grading the movie itself besides saying it's "bad"
The people who give it 6's are coming from more of the right place. Hell, even the people giving it 3's are better than the 2's and 1's. You can dislike the movie, that's fine. But if you think that this movie honestly deserves a 1 or a 2 you must have had your head so far up your own butt that you couldn't even see the movie. That's the only explanation.
The Bold Type (2017)
Fun, lighthearted (mostly) show
I very much enjoy the show. It shows three girls going through their lives working at a fashion/feminism magazine, and their personal conflicts as they do. It does a decent job at characterizing the girls characters (although I think Jane could use some fleshing out, she seems to be mostly to be anxious as a character trait. She's being fleshed out though). The characters go through some conflicts that vary from being in jail to trying to get laid, but I think that the show shows them off decently. Kat and Adena are great characters, and (they are the most fleshed out, so that makes sense), and Jane and Sutton are also fun to watch, despite their stories being still worked on.
My one actual complaint about this show is that they take on too much at a time. I think the show would be better served with having the episodes focus on one (or maybe two) of the girl's issues, rather than all three of them at once. While I think that the structure could work in theory, I think they need to establish the characters a bit more before they spread themselves out like that.
Overall a good show!
