Semi-OT: The scourge of Iñárritu critique that is beautifulbarbiegirl
I make it no secret when I’m online and happen upon here (or the page for “The Revenant” or anything involving Richard Linklater), I LOATHE this vil perra with every fiber of my being and own up to most of the comments I have on this page that consist of verbally chastising her relentlessly. I have my issues with Iñárritu winning Oscars (especially the second one), but I do think he’s an excellent filmmaker who’s directed a number of my favorite performances (Barraza, Keaton, Del Toro, Bardem, Watts and even DiCaprio, though he’s pretty faaaaaaaar from my favorite) and films that I’ve seen (“21 Grams” was in my top 10 of ’03 and “Babel” and “Birdman” were both my runner-ups for Best Picture in their respective years). Until beautifulbarbiegirl came along and really sucked the joy out of appreciating his films. That she has to make EVERYTHING she posts about revolve around the race and nationality of those she chews out reveals not only her blatant racist tendencies, but reasons that say why she has no business being on IMDb in the first place. She’s not on here to talk about actual cinema and when she does actually talk about film, it’s just as a crutch to attack other films. That she constantly uses Oscars to justify whether they’re valid films and filmmakers or not is genuinely pathetic and revealing of what an ignorant neophyte she is to cinema. I question if she's aware there are filmmakers of other nationalities besides Mexican, American and black. Yes, I’m a white American male of Mexican heritage, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying and appreciating the cinema of Alfonso Cuarón, Ana Lily Amirpour, Ang Lee, Hou Hsiao-hsien, etc etc etc.
Even her name is hypocritical. She’s so antagonistic and hateful towards Americans and yet she uses the name of the most famous symbol of feminine “white privilege” as her screen name. If she wanted to make a statement, she’d have Teresa in her name. She is an embarrassment to our nationality and she’s an embarrassment to the idea of cinema critique altogether. I would block her, but I’ll be honest: it gives me sincere pleasure to talk down to her and watch her revel in her repetitive ignorance and I hope everyone who comes into contact with her ultimately does similarly until she either leaves IMDb for good or grows up and realizes her arrogant behavior will one day get her into trouble.
* and as a bonus just to piss her off, “Everybody Wants Some” currently has a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Looks like it’ll possibly be another Linklater film that ends up with a consensus over 90%. So that’s eight for Linklater and two for Iñárritu.
