Not at all. They basically make all the movies. It is their industry to do with as they like.
sounds good. let them make the movies they want to make. then decide for yourself, if you like them. instead of telling anyone who has a different opinion about that movie that they're wrong, and telling the studios, directors, actors, that they should have made the movie exactly this way.

It's a sad thing to see, but this is where we're at in society now. Nothing we can do about it but let these people be miserable.
if they were just being miserable, that's alright. so be it. but they want everyone else to be miserable with them.
You just have to ignore these people for the most part. Nothing makes them happy. Ever. So all they can do is drag everyone down with them. I don't give a shit what message or themes a movie is trying to convey if it's well-made. Things are better that way.
The West Wing is over, Star Trek: TNG is subvert, Larry David is a socialist, etc. I love all those shows.

Not much right wing stuff is worth watching, tbh.

Just bought a signed Jason hockey mask by Ted White for 99 bucks. I'm not really one to care about autographs, but this one is special. Favorite movie franchise, favorite movie in the franchise, favorite Jason... Had to be done.
Well done.

that is just where we are culturally.

I was really saddened to see the behavior by fans over the shudder thing last night. The reaction was horrible and ridiculous. Their servers got overwhelmed.

We could have taken that moment to celebrate, and sure, be disappointed, without the hyperbole about losing customers forever and how incompetent they are, etc. Bunch of losers who have never done anything who will never understand what it takes to do something of that magnitude. I saw a small company putting in the effort, and they did not deserve that.

Yeah. Henry Cavil is pretty screwed now. Even though I knew what he was saying about the MeToo stuff (he's old school, so he likes the classic chase style of flirting, but now these days you can be accused of being a rapist now if you are persistent, is his point), there are legions now hating on him so hard it will effect future movies with him in it.
Outside of using the trigger word "rape", he wasn't wrong (not that he can be in that this is just how he feels).

I think I shared this at the time, but my business has done Chicken and Dumpling Night's occasionally at a local gun club. They can get kinda big, so I encourage pre-ordering. Well, the day of I have like 80 orders, so we plan on maybe 200 people over the course of the evening. Well, over 200 show up in the first few minutes and they keep on arriving.

We are apologizing while we make them as fast as five people possibly can. Some people waited three hours in line. Obviously, that sucks. Well, everyone who pre-ordered I was able to reach out to and I contacted every single one of them with an apology and two free meal vouchers they could use anywhere we are. Some of them STILL bitched and moaned and complained online for days. Did we deserve criticism? I suppose so. Could we have done things different? You always can. If you are not some giant organization you tend to have limited resources though.

MeToo is a shining example of why no one should want a liberal woman president.

agreed. they were just trying to do something good, and it got overwhelmed. and then the backlash and such. it sucks. and we shouldn't be there culturally. we should do what we can to not be there culturally.

it was seen as destroying what we love and turning it into a girl, essentially. which is more or less the same gripe being used against star wars too. so yeah. it comes from both political spectrums, so you put that to rest.
Speaking of Star Wars, has Harrison Ford ever been in a movie where he did not sexually assault a woman by today's standards? How many women told him "No." and yet he proceeded to flirt or even hold or kiss them?

Yeah, there is a general feminist agenda at play. ScarJo was just pressured to not play a tranny in a movie because the "fans", wanted a real tranny.
Good God, I just read that ScarJo crap and wanted to post something. Unbelievable. This generation and liberals want everyone to be pigeon-holed, actors and artists can't possibly go out of their realm? They don't even realize how stupid and damaging shit like that is to their own cause.

Until people try to do things or know people close to them who are, this is the outcome. Not many are out there trying. I don't see that changing.

I am proud of being a part of some entrepreneurial groups, and the individuals in them deal with so much unwarranted criticism. Instead of calling them or emailing them, people try to wreck them in public.

I saw no protests when the Ant Man and the Wasp villain was gender swapped to be a woman. It only goes one way, too.

yeah, if you don't try to make change in your own way. it's not gonna change. i'm aware.

yeah, i see a lot of backlash and criticism in the secondhand. granted it's mostly toward entertainment figures and it's not something i see happening to anyone in person. so much more indirect, but it sucks. it's even to the point that if you don't like (or dislike) a movie or whatever exactly the way you should, then you'll get ripped apart, you'll get threatened, doxxed, whatever. it sucks.
