Its a good movie. Unfortunately, the reality isn't so cinematic. J Edgar Hoover sent just 11 agents to the town, and not the hundreds depicted in the film, and most of them allegedly only intervened when absolutely necessary, and in some cases they supposedly stood by while beatings took place right in front of them.
Also sad to report that no klansman testicles were actually harmed on the road to justice. Instead, the FBI just did some good old fashioned bribery. The Bureau paid Klan informant James Jordan for information on what happened to the activists, and he obliged.

I think the latest season ended with the two of them now teamed up and traveling in the woods. I watched the whole thing and can barely remember much of what happened. It's gotten terrible.

So you can open a discussion with moaning about things being woke but if you respond to that you are the one showing bais.

I was clearly a terrible film critic as a child.

I want an Entreri biopic in the style of the Joker movie.

There's still a stigma. And many theaters won't screen NC-17 movies.
You're basically damning your picture to make five bucks box office if you get that rating.
>But theaters are dead/dying.
Say that to Avatar 2's 2 billion BO.

I’m not sure. I saw infinity pool which is R and was shocked with how much they showed. NC-17 must be full on porn.

Because from a neutral perspective you are arguing against something nobody brought up.
You need to tone down your bias when having a discussion.

Reply to comment by IOnlySayMeanThings in Now that it has been awhile what is your opinion on the Avatar series? by qaz3d25
>Why is the Earth bankrolling a multi-trillion dollar revenge mission to kill a man who doesn't really even hold much power on Pandora?
He's toruk makto and was olo'ektan, he might have been the most powerful na'vi anywhere, as well as leading the insurgency, he was the most wanted to the RDA.
Also, they didn't spend probably more than a million hunting him, there was one drop in the hallelujah mountains and then they piggybacked on the tulkun hunting, basically a background operation.
>Same villain? Really? Why would it be important to the mission to get the same guy? Expensive.
He knows how Jake works and remember, his plan would have worked, the na'vi were loosing before thousands of animals came after them, and now they won't cause he's a recom.
>So, violence bad or violence necessary? Not sure of the message here.
Both
>Sully seemed like he's suddenly anti-violence as an excuse to go find water people.
Your family not being part of a war is a very good start to not getting your family killed. He went to find the Metkayina in order to get his family out of danger.
If you look into the movie, there is an explanation for everything.

Why are replying to me and not the person I'm responding to who originally put the topic ofcourse.But my point is when it comes creative control this idea of no studio oversight has never existed the only thing that changed are factors that they care and don't care about.

The movie whitewashes the FBI complicity in anti-Civil Rights violence and the actions of COINTELPRO

Yeah it looks good to me. You can definitely see that they're doing some interesting fighting scenes utilizing monsters and magic straight from the game. Good cast.
If you look at the history of the past D&D films they were all made for Syfy and written by a bunch of people who had no interest in the role playing game. But WotC is involved with making this an actual D&D movie. Not a generic fantasy film with a few mentions of familiar spells or a single monster from the game floating by for a second.
