Oh yeah that’s a classic. Move on to FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST Brotherhood, not the first version of FMA. FMA B is closer to the manga.

They can get jobs at the Cheesecake Factory. Just don’t leave CA.

I also dragged family members to see Aladdin. Mostly they went to get out of the heat. I really enjoyed it — some of it had a Bollywood vibe that I enjoyed. And some good points about honesty and friendship.

0. THEIR PRODUCTS ARE AGGRESSIVE, ARROGANT PURVEYORS OF LEFTIST DOGMA.

I usually do not metaphorically shout, but are you really unaware of what Whollyweird has become?

I quit going to the movies when they became more interested in their own politics than entertaining us, and expecting us to pay for their indulgences.

70 inch HD TV

Surround sound

Several streaming sources

Some Blue ray DVDs for player

Comfortable sofas and hassocks

Fridge full of good food

Tempature control

And I can stop the action any time I want.

Danny Boyle is a lot (not stylistically) like Tim Burton: they don’t always make good movies, but they are usually interesting. They both at least try to be original and bring an auteur perspective to their film.

I understand SJWs have their hooks in anime now. The attempt to destroy Vic Mignogna for daring to be a Christian is one of the fights.

No new ideas. They just do remakes. And use PC scripts, make them LGBT positive and swap out white leads with blacks or male leads with women.

Hey Hollyweird!

Wanna start making money again?

Fire everyone that is an SJW and/or ever advocated listening to or appeasing SJWs or putting anything in a movie or script that was in any way SJW friendly.

You can’t win by appeasing less than 10% of the pop and pissing everyone else off.

Idiots.

When every flick is a SJW-inspired, feminazi chick flick, what’s to watch?

Yep. Hollyweird no longer cares about American viewers which is why they’re re writing scripts as anti-American. They’re pandering to Asians and muslims.

Followups to “Avengers,” “Secret Life of Pets” and “Godzilla” combined with reboots of storied franchises such as “Men in Black” and “Shaft” would elevate ticket sales to new heights, theater owners and studio executives predicted. Alas, it was not to be.

Kind of like when a story keeps re-posting on FR - those who keep clicking the links end up bitchy and complaining while the folks who ignore the repeats go happily along with their lives w/o feeling they are missing anything...they are trying to sell used underwear that haven't been in the washer.

Business idea for those with the knowledge.

Purchase one of those old, single screen theaters and show old movies(through the 80’s) with the old timey cartoons.

If you can keep the ticket cost under $10.00 you’ll have a winner.

Only film I’ve seen in a long while is “Apollo 11”. Great film about a great flight that was a great success. It was all about the flight with little to no political message. We need more films like it.

Actually, I work for Funimation here. There is only ONE lead writer (who translates from J to English) and he’s a good bud of mine. The voice actors are a mix of libs and libertarians.

The dude sticks to the original script or conversation. I mean, even Hellsing and Trinity Blood was TOO pro-Vatican. There was only one writer I knew he secretly fired for being an asshole lib and the idiot inserted “sarah palin’ in the actual episode. Guess which anime that was?
