Include me please. I'm intrigued

It made a lot of money but I've not really heard many people talk about it. They few who I have heard talk about it said they liked it or it at least looked good.

I did. I can't remember the name of anyone

This is a great article. It is happening in the publishing industry as well. Very Fahrenheit 451 out there.

It’s the woke era. It has killed the honesty that films can bring. Studios walk on egg shells hoping to not offend anyone.

There’s a link to an article that answers all your questions.

Methods > Menthols

face palm

I’m done here.

Oh that's okay. Thank you though.

The Most Dangerous Game (original)

I thought Obama quit smoking before he became President. He didn't?

Why does a film need to be told in a tight 100-120 min time frame?

A film should be however long it needs to be, some films have been too short while others are too long. If I'm enjoying a film, I'm always happy to have more of it (within reason ofc).

But you’re saying it’s a racist stereotype to say Obama smoked menthols when it’s factually accurate to say people in his demographic are more likely to smoke menthols

Boomers. You meant Boomers.

I'll see if I can find it. I read and watch so many different things in the hour or two before bed I can't specifically remember right now. I'll respond to your comment if I can find it.

I’m gonna watch Flight now. Bobby Z is great at plane crashes!

That would have been amazing.

> Pinocchio and the others were in an unfavourable circumstance inside the sea monster but they weren't close to being dead.

Ya I’m not gonna bother anymore, the movie makes it very clear that it is life or death for these characters.

Did you not see the movie you posted about?

I think censorship implies that a legal authority is determining what can or cannot be expressed. It's coming from above. This is way murkier, in that you have a wierd ass Twitter chorus expressing their anger (which ironically is probably a vocal minority and not necessarily representative of popular opinion) and artists/distributors are now learning to not to push boundaries for fear of the backlash.

Not thinking of any movie in particular when I say that, but yeah, it seems like a bummer. Then again, movies have always faced criticism and backlash, historically to the point of legal ramifications for creating smut and video nasties. So it sucks, but I wonder if it's a necessary part of the overall evolution of the industry. Racist and sexist shit was plenty pervasive in movies for a long time, so maybe the pendulum unfortunately needs to swing the other direction a bit before it settles into an ideal resting position.

Don't ask me. I'm stoned.

Maybe they can melt every single vintage Star Wars action figure in acetone, except for one, sell it and make even more money for charity.

> the theory that she was going to leave him anyway

Funny because I just watched it for the first time in a long time, and I could totally see that being the case. I had never noticed before. But I definitely picked up on Kelly’s understandable dissatisfaction this time. Maybe it’s the wisdom of years.

Damn nice self report bro
