Oh I'll massage you alright. But why bother with my hands, I'll use my slimy tongue and massage you anywhere you want, you adorable little human.

Why can't I find someone who can talk to me this way? Oh, but for pixote's golden tongue...

when people liked Martin McDonagh and thought his talent deserved a wider audience.

I'm guessing 1SO is reacting to this post. I, for one, never thought much of McDonagh.

I miss when Martin McDonagh made movies that made me think his talent deserved a wider audience.

Years ago, people loved In Bruges but thought McDonagh was too politically incorrect for mainstream acceptance. A quality that made him more of a personal pick is proving to be the center of his objections.

I'd argue the use of political incorrectness in In Bruges and in Three Billboards is very different, and more problematic in the latter case. So I don't know that it is fair to say "now you hate him for what you loved him for before." It is probably a higher degree of difficulty to make a film that revels in political incorrectness work because a misstep in tone or in plotting makes everything crash down around it. Both the McDonaghs choose to engage with this challenge, as do people like Tarantino.
