Re: Top Ten Lists of 2021

I read the full articles they both wrote. DeBruge's picks seems reasonable as do Gleiberman's last two entries, but the rest of his looks like he's trying to fit in with the New York group he's no longer part of.

The Beatles: Get Back is not a movie. It's a TV mini-series.

Zach Snyder's Justic League is not a 2021 film, it's a recut of his 2017 film.

Cruella was" the year's best musical even though it wasn't a musical" (his words, not mine) is totally idiotic.

Spencer "is, at moments, like The Shining rewritten by Edith Wharton"? Nah, it's more like The Age of Innocence rewritten by Stephen King on a bad day.

As for King Richard, I'm waiting for the other side of the story written by one of the five kids aged 8 years to 8 mos. from his first marriage that he walked out on and left to grow up in poverty while he hustled his way to the top for his second family.
