Look, if someone spat in Tarantino's face, he's still a super rich guy who probably hosed Uma Thurman. Great, but you still spat in his face and that's wrong what the gently caress.

Yeah, they can, but the theater still doesn't have to do it. Are you mad at the theater for caving for business reasons? If not, why are you mad at Disney for pressuring them for business reasons? I think you should be mad at both, since his theater totally stabbed him in the back for a payoff.

It was a dick move on Disney's part, but having to read someone whining about it post after post in this thread has made me want to go see TFA a third time out of spite. Also because I was wanting to see it again cause its an awesome movie, but now also out of spite.

Also are you loving listening to yourself? "Well, the drycleaner could have not taken the laundered money, he'd have been beat up but he could have gone to the police" shut the gently caress up. Are you gonna compare the goddamn Weinstein Company, who do well for themselves but let's be real are a niche studio, to goddamn Walt Disney Entertainment? Of course you side with one over the other here, and the difference is so vast I doubt it even effects the relationship Quentin probably has with the owners of that particular theater. Here's a hot tip ethics majors, what went down is still loving wrong

Won't someone think of the poor and downtrodden Quentin Tarantino? With his $100 million net worth. He is clearly an oppressed man in Holiday being kept down by the evil Disney regime.

It's really loving hilarious I keep saying "hey, Disney slapped Tarantino on his face" and you keep saying "Tarantino's rich! He's got money! He's got money!" so the gently caress what, when you pass a certain wealth threshold you stop being human?

That's an exaggeration but when you have such vast wealth my sympathy for your feelings are vastly diminished. QT isn't a small time indie director who sold his house to fund the Hateful Eight. sponges fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jan 15, 2016 |

Also lol at you saying the Weinsteins have anything on Disney in terms of clout. But mainly, this guy who made a lot of things that I love is upset and angry about this and I get why, and the guy who made The New Star Trek Movies is no loving counter to that, so gently caress Disney even if they have the money to keep Star Wars playing forever.

Nessus posted:What did some people in the middle ages do when the Church forbade them to shed blood? Did they attempt peace instead? No. They got a blunt weapon to use instead. A mace. Maces were used because they were effective against chain mail and plate armor. Hit somebody in the head with a mace and you're going to see a lot of blood. There was no prohibition against the clergy using bladed weapons.

Fundamentally I think, you think just because a business does what is best for that business to keep existing, that should be okay, I mean, they could have chosen to take the less viable choice on principle but they didn't so gently caress principles right haha? Like theaters everywhere are in dire loving straits right now so gently caress it, whatever. The theater actually did try to fight it until Disney was like "we will seriously just drop a moneyhammer on your stupid rear end," (this is admittedly according to QT's account but I doubt he'd lie on national radio), then they had to call Quentin and tell him his movie wasn't playing over the holidays afterall. This is not a business that can afford to thumb its nose at the more profitable option, feelings aside, but that doesn't make what happened less wrong or less of a petty and mean moneygrab on the part of Disney which already had the most profitable movie in the world coming out.
