Quit Liking Bad Scripts

Rating: 3/10 (10 January 2018)

For some movies, we set aside out fact checking and allow ourselves to be entertained. We don't get upset when Superman flies around holding up skyscrapers without any propulsion system whatsoever.
Then there's the invulnerable good guy who lives in the real world and isn't a super-hero, but he dances and prances about, shooting all the bad guys and never getting a scratch. We overlook the absurdity of that and allow ourselves to be entertained.
Then there's movies like THREE BILLBOARDS. No superheros, no people that don't bleed. It's set in the real world and the story is supposed to make sense, right?
Then why do you let the sloppy writers allow Dixon to break into an office, throw Red Welby out of a 2nd story window, severly injuring him, all of which is witnessed by the new Sheriff, who then announces to the rest of the Cops he is the new Sheriff (and the Cops demand to see proof but the writers let that slide ) and soon, the new Sheriff is ordering everybody around and firing Dixon but not arresting him, while Dixon gets the hurt put on himself and winds up in the same hospital room as Red Welby who decides to make him a cup of tea and be nice to Dixon for trying to kill him.
That's enough; there was plenty of other nonsense throughout the film. Did you really enjoy that?
