PC Brigades Shut Down Comedy Film

[Neutraligon]

So basically you want them to stop using their free speech (as you call it). The people are still free to make the movie, and people are still free to complain about it. Since the movie industry needs people to attend those films to make money, of course they pay attention to what people are saying.

ah.

first point withdrawn but my feeling still stands, dont like it dont see it.

I agree don't like it don't see it. Seems to me that it is better for the industry to face the backlash now, since it means they will not waste time on a movie that won't make them money. They might still produce it, but for less money. Or they might decide that people dislike the idea enough that the film will not make enough money and decide not to produce it at all. Both would be good business responses to what we are seeing.

Unless you're solely referring to environmentalism, I challenge you to give one other example to substantiate that bold claim.

Anything to do with LGBT.

But everybody knows they are waiting in bathrooms to attack children!

[Shaggy Dog Story]

What is it the kids are saying these days? I see what you did there?

Which more or less brings me to my personal feeling that outrage culture has grown out of control.

Modern conservatism is garbage compared to conservatism about fifty years ago.

And "doesn't lend itself well" does not mean "it is completely impossible to". It happened. It doesn't seem to happen anymore, according to you.

Well were they conservative back then or were they not?

Most actors back then were conservative baby...by your logic at least half would be liberal or moderate...

You're asking me and telling me in the same sentence. Do you even know?
Someone's told you you were wrong about Reagan.

[Shaggy Dog Story]

Oh please, modern mainstream conservatism is basically defined by refusal to change opinions no matter how many experts tell you you're wrong.

Unless you're solely referring to environmentalism, I challenge you to give one other example to substantiate that bold claim.

Abstinence only education. Demonstrably proven to not prevent teenage pregnancy and std transmission.

Before it even went into production, a planned satire of Ronald Reagan to be produced by and starring Will Ferrell inspired an outpouring of criticism from conservatives and members of the former president's family.

And by Friday, according to The New York Post, the actor backed out of the project.

According to Variety, the still-untitled project is based on a script from Hollywood's legendary "Black List," an annual collection of the most popular, yet-to-be produced screenplays in the industry.

The film, if it goes forward without Ferrell, will almost surely stoke controversy because its plot purportedly portrays Reagan as suffering from dementia while he was still in office.

"The REAGAN script is one of a number of scripts that had been submitted to Will Ferrell which he had considered. While it is by no means a 'Alzheimer's comedy' as has been suggested, Mr. Ferrell is not pursuing this project," a spokesperson for the actor told the Post on Friday.

MSNBC has reached out to Will Ferrell's production company, Gary Sanchez Productions, which was reportedly developing the film, for comment but has not heard back at this time.

Reagan went public with his Alzheimer's diagnosis in 1994, and while there has long been speculation about his state of mind during his second term in office, there has never been any hard evidence that he suffered from Alzheimer's while president.

Condemnation of the film project came swiftly, and not surprisingly the loudest objections came from right-wing circles — not only because of Ferrell's participation (the "Anchorman" star is a supporter of Democratic candidates and causes, and has a history of sneaking subversive progressive messages into his mainstream comedies), but also because of the potential insensitivity to the health of the former president.

I'm sick and tired of the PC, SJW-types shutting down free speech because they're offended. It's so absurdly moralistic. So what if some stuff is a bit out there, that's the beauty of free speech. These people are just regressive authoritarians who want to ban things they disagree with. Why should we let them? They don't have a right to not be offended. What do you think of this absurd PC bullshit?

I love you.

Would you be angry if the ghost busters remake was shut down?

Because i find that film to be demonstrably offensive.

If you really wanted to act like an SJW, you'd not only shut down the Ghost Busters remake, but utterly harass the produces into oblivion and make sure that they can never find employment again and hound them out of the industry. That's how you really fight for #progress.

I honestly doubt it is much different then previous years. It's just that they can get slightly more attention do to mass media and the net.

If you measure progress with how many lives you hurt, you have no right to label yourself a progressive.

Not really Hollywood per se (i think) but this has happened on youtube in some famous cases. That reddit clusterfuck some years ago comes to mind.

Of course not, that's fiscal conservatism.

Well Mel Gibson for starters, but was talking generally. SJWs are responsible for many people being kicked out of their industries.

Oh ha, i get it. That was a play on people who disagree with you.

He's been basically kicked out of Hollywood, unofficially.

Since the remake looks pretty crappy, regardless of the gender issues, I don't think I'd care either way.

if maybe perhaps they had a original story line with a better cast (i dont like Melissa McCarthy) instead of just GIRL POWER!!!111, then i'd be fine with it.

Let's face it, who would actually pay to go and see a Will Ferrell film?

*gasp* How dare you?

Yeah but Mel kind of worked at it. He did survive the incidents of the anti-gay stuff and the anti-Semitic stuff. The DUI and the Anti-Semitic tirade and the abuse incidents gave him the unoffical boot then add in his religion plans.....

A shame really. A good director.....
