Who are the suckers who pay way too much to see garbage like this? Bet they voted for Hillary, too.
If reaction is really what he wants, that’s easily solvable. Write a movie about Mohammed. You don’t even have to be creative in the story line. Just tell the truth, and then watch the “reaction.”
“I meant to do that!”

I’m looking forward to hearing from actual punk rockers ripping this dolt a new one for trying to disguise this bomb as anything but lame by calling it “punk.” Quite a few of them have veered right in their later years.
And this has nothing to do with his star, Jennifer Lawrence, running her mouth about hurricanes being earth’s punishment for the US voting for Trump? With a little luck, this picture will end her career.
It didn’t elicit any reaction. It was seen for what it was; a movie designed to “offend” people the writer didn’t like. Those are a dime a dozen.
Unlike The Handsmaid’s Tale which was intended to attack a fabricated version of Christianity but instead, was interpreted to be going after Fundamentalist Islam which actually exhibits the very qualities in the show.

Excuses don’t pay the bills Jack......
It’s Aranofsky. He became famous by putting a future Oscar woman in a film where she put a sex toy in her bum and another woman’s bum in order to pay for drug money.

We can make his dream come true. We can show our reaction to this tripe by staying away, thus making its very failure its success.
Or some such convolution of logic that lives in the looniverse.
