Forums - Movies & TV - U.S box office has its worst weekend in 15 years!

I am curious as to the effect Movie Pass has on the industry. They recently dropped the price to $10/month to see a movie a day at the cinema. Read they got around 200,000 new customers with this aggressive move and it created a lot of buzz. We should know better in coming months how much it catches on and changes things in the US.

Nope, maybe in your world but not in the real world.  The last time somebody had a hissy fit about a movie it was right wingers and Christians because the live action version of Beauty and The Beast had a openly gay character. 

In the real world, Fox apologised for that poster and removed it. In the real world, nothing happened about that gay character because nobody from the right, other than a handful of people, cared to make a big fuss about it.

In the real world, outrage from the left cancels yoga classes or forces businesses to close due to "cultural appropriation". Or actors to quit roles. Get real, man.

I have no clue what poster you are talking about.  Anyway the far right and the right is far worse then anyone on the left.  Who on the left is as crazy as Alex Jones.  Plus you don't have snake oil salesmen on the left either.  I'm pretty sure that the actor you are talking about actually quit by himself and white washing is still a problem in hollywood.  Plus minorities still get paid less hence the two asian actors on Hawaii Five-0 quit.



People on the extremes of either political spectrums are nut jobs generally. However given the choice overly political correct/hyper environmentalists versus racists/homophobes that generally compose the far right, I'll take a left.

So now we're moving from right wing to far right? I don't think conservatives are as bad as those antifa leftists. You know - the people who use violence against anyone they don't agree with.

And no snake oil salesmen on the left? The left has been peddling that gender wage gap myth for decades now. And is Linda Sarsour not crazy? You might want to read on the 4 leaders of the women's march.

And no, that actor didn't quit by himself - the outrage made him quit.

As for Hawaii O 5, not familiar with the show but from imdb the 2 white actors were the only ones who played in all episodes. No idea how prominent the actors' roles were - all I know is that the leader of the team is the lead of the show.

Don't forget the islamists and racists on the left.

There are way more racists on the right you have the KKK and over two dozen other hate groups.

There are plenty people on the left that dislike Lisa Sarsour.  Anyway the right had way to much of a hissy fit over the march because pretty much like all marches at the end of the day it pretty much acomplished nothing.  MLK Jrs planned poors people march on Washington probably would have acomplished something but its one of the main reasons he was assasinated.  Also I'm talking about real snake oil sales people like Alex Jones and right wing religious nutters that sell fake remedies at inflated prices.

And there's plenty of people on the right who dislike the KKK. The difference is that Linda Sarsour actually gets supported by the mainstream media and the left in general. In fact, she's hailed as a hero. She is the co-chair to the Women's March as well. You should read about the leaders of that march - you wouldn't support them if you did. I wish I kept that article at hand.

Also, I don't see how Linda Sarsour is any different from Alex Jones. She sells a load of nonsense that the mainstream media and the left is more than willing to buy.
