Welcome to Hollywood, Snowflakes!

MGM Pictures released the first trailer for its remake of the 1974 vigilante classic Death Wish on Thursday, featuring Bruce Willis taking over the lead role — but some critics and commentators have already branded the unreleased film “racist,” “alt-right,” and “nakedly fascist” over the short clip’s content.
Willis stars as Paul Kersey, a surgeon on a brutal quest for revenge after his wife is murdered and his daughter is raped (Charles Bronson’s Kersey was an architect in the original five-film series).
The remake also trades out the original film’s gritty New York City environment for contemporary Chicago.
The trailer for the Eli Roth-directed film plays like most revenge films, promising plenty of gunfighting and shots of star Willis looking tough. In a twist on the original character, Willis’ Dr. Kersey wears a hoodie, an item of clothing associated in recent years with the Black Lives Matter movement.
The trailer for the film came under fire on social media shortly after its release Thursday, with at least one critic contending that the original series was “always racist.”

No, they would call it Oscar-ist.
I like it, but I would cut it off with a DMZ.
They wish they were betas. :)
Welcome to Hollywood, Snowflakes!
Liberals had a meltdown over the original, IIRC.
Pathetic snowflakes.
They would melt down, it was a great clip.
Bruce is wearing a hoodie!
He is appropriating another ‘culture’.........
Can’t wait. I may even go to a Actual Theatre for the first time in tweet some odd years.
The original _Death Wish_ is briefly available to rent on iTunes for $1.
I wonder if they’ll get the hint on how I NORMALLY watch their movies if I show up on opening night wearing an eyepatch and a cutlass? ;-)
“Am I the only person on this planet that is beyond sick of these people?”

No, you are not. I can assure you of that.
autocorrect... auugggh twenty some odd years!!
Sounds good to me. Give them a state nobody is using like North Dakota or Connecticut
Don’t give them North Dakota.
It’s full of oil.
I don't think they know what 'American' means.
Death Wish was Jeff Goldblum’s very first movie. He played one of the thugs that raped Bronson’s daughter, which is why he tracked him down and killed him.
I’d see the movie just to see Elizabeth Shue again. Loved her in “Adventures in Baby Sitting”. Beautiful woman - one of my top 5.
I really don’t care whether she can act or sing or dance. She is what a beautiful woman looks like (compare her to Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman-Mayo Hair Schulz, or Helen Thomas).
Bruce Willis is pretty good to.
