IIRC, they also rate women shown enjoying sex more strictly than they rate men shown enjoying sex. The whole thing is obviously made up of the totally subjective opinions of a small group of blatantly biased old dudes.

I use a Unihertz Jelly Star and I love it!

Lead exposure won’t make good people bad, but it will make bad people worse.

JJJ publishes them in an attempt to ruin Spider-Man’s public image. The public instead is desperately thirsty for the spider-bod. Sales of the Bugle go through the roof. JJJ is consumed by the conflict between his hate boner for Spider-Man and his capitalism boner for selling more issues of the Bugle.

I think the theory is that capitalism pits the unbearable assholes’ psychotic ambitions against one another and allows the normal people to reap the benefits of their relentless competition, while a functional democracy regulates the economy to prevent any one particular asshole from gaining too much power and enforces regulations to handle the externalities, and that in a functional democracy nobody who is too much of an asshole can ever get too powerful.

It’s worthwhile to acknowledge that movies don’t all exist along a Good-Bad axis, but also along an axis of Watchable-Unwatchable.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie with Bob Hoskins is Bad and Watchable.

La Dolce Vita is Good, but I would be hard-pressed to call it Watchable.

Morbius is Terrible, but not even remotely in a fun, Watchable way. It’s just cold dog shit.

And of course all of these categories are 100% subjective relative to the individual viewer.
