Guy A. Person posted:He didn't try to rally others, he posted his own reasons for not seeing TFA and people jumped down his goddamn throat. People immediately questioned his reasoning, started insulting Tarantino, at least one person implied that they were going to see the movie again to balance the equation from him boycotting. No one immediately jumped down his throat. People ignored his original Tarantino post until he posted and quoted his own post: Harime Nui posted:Thanks, but not happy people are missing my most important post[ He clearly had an ax to grind and wanted to post about it. Some people responded seriously and others, like myself, poo poo posted because goons.

Effectronica posted:Am I morally obligated to watch Roman Polanski's entire filmography to keep from engaging in a one-man boycott against that pedophile rapist, Disney lovers? Well you can watch or not watch whatever movies you want. That doesn't make it a boycott, or meaningful in any way. Still, a boycott of Roman Polanski's films would at least be more consistent, since I'm assuming you don't support pedophile rapists in general. Arbitrarily deciding that Disney is worthy of a boycott because they hosed over Tarantino of all people is nonsensical.

While I was only somewhat more than lukewarm on TFA, after this threadshitting, I'm tempted to see it again and send a bill for both my time and ticket to Quentin Tarrantino. Your move, Harime Nui.

I'm just not gonna watch The Force Awakens, or read its expanded materials, or watch its DVD extras, or acknowledge it in my Star Wars canon.

So you're going to deprive yourself of a franchise you like, and "punish" the actors, writers, crew, etc. all because of a petty thing their parent company did? Also, why the gently caress do you think we care what you do?

I just think the kid's retarded for having this be his Disney jumping off point when, you know, the founder was an anti-Semite but no, this is where the gauntlet drops. Because tarintino says he got burned by a movie theater. Dude has been in the business a long time. He has seen poo poo like this, prolly had it happen to him before. Doesn't make it right but know that he's speaking up about it on national radio to hype his movie. That's been his MO with the whole hateful 8 campaign. Crying for attention. Also just to make it super clear: Disney founded by known anti-Semite: you're on board A director you like can't show his movie on the day he wants at his favorite theater: you draw the line. Sue the theatre for breaking contract and move on.

I can't say In the Heart of the Sea was better than Creed without invoking my insane passion for square-rigged ships I admit, I admit just seeing staylines on an actual movie screen gets me, I'm not gonna pretend like mine's the normal opinion there

Terrorist Fistbump posted:I'm struggling with the same question, but people in this thread are undoubtedly mega-triggered by the idea that someone doesn't want to see Star Wars because of an ethical stance, right or wrong as that stance may be. It was more the self-righteous tone that I was reacting to. The original post was going to be ignored but Harime was not allowing the thread to do that.

I haven't seen Creed in boycott because I am against one of the production companies involved; New Line Cinema. New Line Cinema also distributed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, which was a bigger crime against humanity than anything Disney has ever done.

Whatever the correct terminology, the bottom line is those movies ask me to look past too much stupid, illogical things coupled with lovely lines (or lovely delivery, take your pedantic choice) for me to enjoy. Luckily TFA has begun to set things right again.
