I didn't want your shitty award anyway.

Isn't that the point? He said the movie was alright, he didn't say it was great.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It wasn't. It was a run-of-the-mill dumb action flick.

It was completely joyless.  I gave it a C based on its boundless mediocrity, but I should've given it a D+ or even lower, because even the movies that are actively worse are at least actively something.

It was actively dumb, plot-wise. But I was kind of expecting that.  :P

Also, Washington and Wahlberg aren't that bad even when phoning it in.

If I had to guess, it would have to do with the number of Marshals of the Soviet Union in 1938.   There were five Marshals of whom three were executed.  Budonny was one of the two who survived.  So 2 out of 5?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).

QuoteWhat I'm most reminded of is The Great Dictator, except that movie was made in 1940 and Chaplin thought the other guy with a funny mustache was more of a clown than we'd now be likely accept in a movie made about everybody's favorite reichschancellor.

The Wolf of Wall Street was made in 2013, long after we've realized that people like Jordan Belfort should be dragged from their burning homes in the middle of the night.  Scorsese takes this as a given, and his film's principal focus for the first two hours is what very fine clowns these wannabe masters of the universe can make.  It still serves as a call to action, but less perfectly than when Chaplin addressed his even more complacent audience directly.
