That movie is going to do extremely well, Maybe not Ironman/Big drat Team up movie numbers

But probably better than all of those movies beside maybe GoTG, and spider-man.

Domestically anyway.

Probably not gonna do numbers overseas.

That was part of what I was thinking initially. Supposedly China isn't big into black actors.

Yeah I know? I'm not saying it won't make money. I was just saying it probably wouldn't make AS much because people are racist and would be less drawn to the theater by it. I mean I hope I'm wrong.... but again, not saying it would flop.

There is absolutely nothing to back up what you're saying. This kind of strawman 'everyone's racist except me' is really childishly arrogant and almost as damaging as being an actual racist.

'gently caress off', is what I'm getting at here.

Hahah what? What the gently caress are you even arguing? Someone asked if a black super hero movie would hurt sales and I said my pessimistic views about America make me think it could.

I'm not making a college thesis here. I'm just looking at the state of affairs in this country and how front and center, and even more overt than ever, people are being outright racist and saying "yeah I can see people reacting negatively to it."

Yet somehow I'm claiming I'm the only non-racist and therefore just as bad as the racists... or something?

I think you're trying to find a thread in my statement that doesn't exist. But whatever makes you feel better.

Ha well to be fair it's because you're not only discussing movies (which can inherently... inherent some of the political climate) but also how they're implemented in the current social landscape. And that also invites it's own discussions and implications.

Or not. Who knows.

Quick question: What does it take to get your trailer featured on Apple Trailers (trailers.apple.com)? Is it just money? Because drat sometimes I see some super low rent poo poo on there and they only host 3 pages worth of trailers.

Chill, whale, chill

Didn't Doug Stanhope come out and say she was talking about him, not Louis?

And nothing in that Tig Notaro one mentions him doing anything to her except stealing one of her bits.

Not to defend him, just adding more context.

While speaking to the Beast, Notaro says she previously had “an incident” with C.K. prior to the launch of One Mississippi, though she did not go into detail.

“We don’t talk since then. So as far as what he’s doing or what he’s done…” she continued, trailing off. She then asked the reporter if C.K. has ever “acknowledged” the allegations.

It's a whole movie of that scene from one of the later Transformers movie where the guy justifies his having sex with an underage woman.

I'm chill. Are there any good studies out there about this? Genuinenly interested.

My initial comment was supposed to just be hyperbole in delivery but "I still think it could be true because look at America right now" and wasn't meant to be some definitive comment or anything (so I was a little surprised at the reaction), so I'm interested in actually looking into it further.

A bit of both. It's an acknowledged joke because 20 year olds dating 17 year olds is both somewhat creepy and incredibly common in our society, and perhaps in general.

It's not fiction or just something in Bay's universe. Romeo and Juliet laws are real, and the card in the dude's wallet is Texas's actual statute for sexual assault, including the correct citation. It's Bay doing the Pain & Gain "this is a true story" thing.

The only thing inaccurate in the scene, I believe, is that you don't actually need a preexisting relationship, which is mentioned in the dialog, but not on the card. Which is to say, reality is more legally permissive of that relationship than what Bay presents.

It's a funny scene.
