He went to prom as a white batman. Jaden gets a free pass for life. Which is immediately negated by After Earth.

for a movie that takes place in Winnipeg there isn't enough racism against Aborigninals or Weakerthans in the sound track.

Nevermind Weakerthans, the soundtrack should just be Guess Who / BTO. Maybe end on a Fred Penner song.

Even so, its takings averaged less than $30 per moviehouse, which translates to only three or four viewers at each of the five cinemas throughout the course of the entire weekend. The movie now appears to have been yanked from Reel Cinemas’ lineup.

It seems weird to me that they both bring that up in the trailer & have quotes from people saying that people have gotten soft recently/this is an important film for now. I guess the argument is like "Comedians' job has always been to push boundaries and it's wrong to punish them for doing so". But it's also goofy to act as if this is worse now if ur using that example

If your problem is that society is too uptight, you're either a teenager or you don't have real problems.

With this type of thing I can appreciate where comedians are coming from but at the same time I feel they always make themselves oddly blameless. Like, I think it was Daniel Tosh of all people that pretty much said that his job was to tell jokes that offend people and it'd be pretty dumb if he got all up in arms when people actually got offended. Like, yes, push boundaries and do what you want people will get pissed. I mean in the trailer someone says "if you get easily offended, don't go to a comedy show" but at the same time if you can't take people being mad at you for being offensive, don't be a comedian, or at least don't be that kind of comedian.

You can usually tell how good a comedian is by how much they complain about sensitive people.

That reminds me of Seinfeld complaining about how he can't play colleges anymore because his friends told him it was bad and that crowd was too sensitive and like gently caress you Jerry. You ain't never offended anybody with one of your jokes in your entire life and even if that weren't true, College kids can't afford your ticket prices which is the reason you were complaining third hand rather than because of experience anyways.

I don't think he's ever played colleges, there's no "because" there. He just said "that's what people tell me" on a radio show. You might be thinking of Chris Rock: quote:“I stopped playing colleges, and the reason is because they’re way too conservative,” Rock said in the interview. “Not in their political views — not like they’re voting Republican — but in their social views and their willingness not to offend anybody. Kids raised on a culture of ‘We’re not going to keep score in the game because we don’t want anybody to lose.’ Or just ignoring race to a fault. You can’t say ‘the black kid over there.’ No, it’s ‘the guy with the red shoes.’ You can’t even be offensive on your way to being inoffensive.”

Oh, Seinfeld is apparently culturally relevant still but not in the way you think.quote:There's a fantastic energy now for some reason, on the Internet particularly. Tumblr, people brought my attention to. I actually did consider it, but then I realized it would make Bee Movie 1 less iconic. But my kids want me to do it; a lot of people want me to do it. A lot of people that don't know what animation is want me to do it. If you have any idea what animation is, you'd never do it.

extremely NSFW teaser for The Greasy Strangler. I have no idea what this will end up actually being, but it seems to have a John Waters vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3C3ceUYXRY quote:“The Los Angeles-set tale follows Ronnie, a man who runs a Disco Walking tour along with his browbeaten son, Brayden. When a sexy, alluring woman comes to take the tour, it begins a competition between father and son for her attentions. It also signals the appearance of an oily, slimy inhuman maniac who stalks the streets at night and strangles the innocent, soon dubbed ‘The Greasy Strangler.’”
