In the wake of a trio of deadly massacres, the studio is evaluating its strategy for the R-rated Blumhouse satire in which elites stalk "deplorables."

[shoff]

Gee the news tells me it's the right and Trump that advocates violence. I am guessing Universal Pictures is going to be hunting for new customers.It's not even an original idea, read The Most Dangerous Game.

This is disgusting.

[Biggirl]

Playing the blame game.

[grobdriver]

Nothing better than going out to the Manor and slaughtering a dozen deplorables.

Pretty brazen to use that word and make clear who it is the producers/writers/director/actors/studio would like to see killed.

The Most Dangerous Game - a good short story. 15 pages, so there’s no excuse for not reading it.

Sounds to me like this movie is a “how-to” guide on how leftists can take their opposition to ordinary (rational, working people) to the next level. So why are they pulling the ads?

“...Pretty brazen to use that word and make clear who it is the producers/writers/director/actors/studio would like to see killed. ...”

They need to be taken out/shut down permanently. That’s a direct violent threat to the People, especially us.

[Chickensoup]

Training film for leftists.

I actually liked the ad I saw a couple weeks ago.

I was hoping the movie would do average box office and show up on Basic Cable in 12 months.

However - the ad did not make clear that “Deplorable” Trump supporters were being hunted.

Imagine what would happen if they manage to steal 2020.

[odawg]

The movie uses divisive language, violence, slaughter, guns, etc., but since the brunt is against Trump supporters, it is justified and righteous.

[ealgeone]

Sounds a bit like the Purge series of movies....which started under Obama’s regime.

[shoff]

They are only pulling some. I saw one last night on AMC. It doesn’t let you know who is being hunted. They are pulling adds after one of their own shot up that bar in Ohio.

[shoff]

That could be because the producer is Jason Ferus Blum, same as the Purge series. (One trick pony)

[Cowboy Bob]

If Hollywood really wants to get a laugh, they should replace “deplorables” with words like “gays,” “blacks,” or “Hispanics.”

[Lurker]

See my tag line.

There is nothing like giving mentally unbalanced leftists ideas.

[moovova]

That’s not comedy.

It’s a roadmap to the eventual legalized slaughter of Conservatives.

This needs to stop.
