This phenomenon will go the way of Shaft

Waiting for some ‘dreamer’ type backlash from the movie. They are not into a society that keeps out outsiders, very protective and nationalist. All the things the libbies just cannot stand.

“As for the movie itself I haven’t read a bad review of it yet”

And you won’t. It could be worse than plan 9 and it would get good reviews for the usual reasons. Movie Critics are in PC prison and they like it there.

Why would whitey want to go to a theatre to see a blackactivist movie in the first place? The, umm, “demographics” of the audience will make it nearly impossible to hear any dialogue. Between the yelling at the screen, cell phone use and the usual angry wimmins.

[Lent]

Reverse the claims and they wouldn’t be questioned.

Those few hundred white supremacists of America twittering away.

Or 13 Russians with computers.

Being cynical, I’m thinking this whole trollhouse cookie thing is nothing more than a PR move by the studio.

1. Crank out some clickbait tweets.
2. MSM reports on it, and the movie.

Voila. Free publicity.

But, will it leave behind a memorable theme song? At least a few bars are quite memorably identifiable.

Public information officers for police departments...

Alas, if only they would be so kind to check at colleges when it comes to all "assault" claims.

[BenLurkin]

Yup.
Very possibly just movie Hollywood hype.

[BenLurkin]

Because the brilliant dialog is why people go to see comic book movies, right?

[dforest]

That would be the Rainbo Pantload.

[dforest]

Gee mommy, i wanna go so I can get beat up!

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Michael Jackson has long ago passed.

[Maskot]

I didn’t say brilliant dialogue.

I said ANY dialogue.

It's very unfortunate that a film that is poised to become a cultural icon

MEGA-BARF! Makes me want to pull out the Mr. Creosote projectile vomit scene.

There was a thread here on FR on Saturday that said the flick is surprisingly good.

Taken at face value it is a very good movie. Especially if you get to see it at a discount movie house like Hickory 8 here in Nashville. There's even a good chuckle or two in it. If you start reading the SJW propoganda into the movie it'll make you crazy.

[COBOL2Java]

So when are they gonna make a movie about "¡Mucha Lucha!"?

[freefdny]

Can you dig it?

[Eagles6]

But..but...it’s a cultural icon and it has cultural significance!/sarc
