Oh jeeeeshh .. There are starving actors off broadway who would gut Shakespeare for a shot at a film role.

[GeronL]

this idiot made a film about being a kid and having sex with his teacher

[NormsRevenge]

ITz on NUtFLIX for criminy sake..

[cripplecreek]

Special snowflakes.

Blazing Saddles - Work Song

[Chainsawj]

I bet if they had a Reagan character acting gay or something bashing Christians they wouldn’t have walked out.

[ansel12]

They hate art.

[Mastador1]

Perhaps someone decided the movie needed some early publicity.

[Jeff Chandler]

female characters named Beaver’s Breath and No Bra -- and a scene where an Apache woman urinates outdoors while smoking a peace pipe.

Adam Sandler is no Mel Brooks.

this film doesnt look too bad...David Spade Blake Shelton Vanilla Ice on the sex of the ridiculous six

[drewh]

Nick Nolte in the background...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Adam should have known that applying his sophomoric humor to Indians (sorry, Native Americans) is verboten. They can only be portrayed as Wise, Peace-Loving Stewards of the Earth and Friends to the Animals.

[Tenacious 1]

So Hollywierd diversifies and includes Native Americans and they quit?

I guess Hollyweird needs to go back to wholesome christian inspired and patriotic themes. That seems to be where the money is.

Looks like Rob Schnider is playing Snidley Whiplash

[Mat_Helm]

General Custer, Wyatt Earp, and Mark Twain?

I bet if they had a Reagan character acting gay or something bashing Christians they wouldn’t have walked out.

Not as a group. Because it's not their group.

But maybe not automatically assume that everybody would be okay with some scenario you dream up. Maybe as an individual somebody would say "Enough is enough" and walk off the picture. Who can say? I'd be surprised if somebody hadn't already done that on one of Sandler's projects.

I wonder, though, if these guys had gone through with the Wild, Wild West and Lone Ranger updates, which were pretty awful.

[CharleysPride]

Pornographic bug, Adam Sandler, why am I not surprised?

[I cannot think of a name]

“but Netflix says the outraged actors are missing the whole point of the film”

Apparently, I also missed the point in most of his last films. I thought the point of watching a movie was entertainment. Guess I was wrong.

[Smokin' Joe]

I showed that movie to a bunch of barely twenty somethings fifteen years ago, and they were horrified at the use of the 'n' word.

They preferred the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Times sure have changed.

[cripplecreek]

Sandler has some conservative leanings as do a few of his regular costars. Maybe things on set got a little too honest.

If I were Sandler I would hire some of the whitest Jews I could find to play the indian roles as a bunch of casino owning drunks.
