The off topic thread

My fear is he'll name a very moderate, reasonable VP candidate to suck in as much of the Republican vote as possible, and then it becomes a real battle.

If he wants to win, it should be exactly what he does.

Inevitably if he takes power, he'll then proceed to ignore the very moderate suggestions and policies.

You see John Oliver's piece on Trump? Pretty damning.

It's amusing that people on here are nodding their heads and saying "It's the way it is and we shouldn't try and change it" when it comes to movies, but I'm sure - or I'd hope - the same people are pro-Gay marriage and are pushing for equal rights when it comes to gender equality. Not entirely sure why in their minds there's a distinction.

You're the best at making shit up. The absolute best.

Nobody ever said we shouldnt try change it. All I ever said was the studio's wont got for it for monetary reasons.

That's it.

But you keep calling me a racist if it makes you feel better about yourself mate.

I never called you a racist so back in your box. Your opinion on this subject is racist though.

"Nobody said we shouldn't change it, but here's a list of reasons for why I don't think studios should or will change it. But we should definitely change it. Even though we shouldn't." Nice try mate.

Name me a blockbuster film that made hundreds of millions of dollars and was a smash hit that had a cast of unknowns in it? Go on... off you go.

Slumdog Millionaire.

Yeah sure did.

I don't really rate Sanders or Clinton either. I'd prefer Sanders but it's only by default.

Sanders I don't mind because he's determined to pull the USA up to the standards of the rest of the Western world when it comes to social welfare.

Sad thing is that it literally won't make any difference to people voting for Trump.

They are some seriously crazy people. A friend of mine is ex military and he's very heavily into American Politics, some of the stuff that shows up on his Facebook feed from Republican websites he visits is legitimately scary shit.

Trump is no worse than Rubio or Cruz though.

Yeah you did mate. chef deleted it. Then you have suggested im racist ever since. If im honest you should be off on a holiday for that kind of shit but whatever.

Again I didnt give any reasons why I dont think studios should or will change it.

I made statements that studio's wont go for it because they want to make money.

I never expressed my opinion either way on it. I just told you the facts.

My goodness you're hilarious.

Surprised Chef deleted it, I was very careful with my word choice so that I didn't harm your sensitive soul.

Slumdog Millionaire.

Uh oh.

Worse IMO. He lies about everything and does not give a single **** if he is called out on it. He has no accountability and the racist anti-establishment hatred he's whipping up among the fringe elements of the Republican supporter base is fast approaching danger levels.

I'm in danger of Godwining here, but he reminds me a bit of an Austrian bloke a while back.

The only movie of Butlers I have watched is 300 and hated it.

On Edgerton he is not the biggest actor in any of those films. He is just a a minor supporting actor to me.

Definitely recommend Law Abiding Citizen Lat. For mine, it's Butler's best film (though some of his other works make for slim pickings haha).

 

[SM]

Olympus Has Fallen is great as well.

Yeah I liked Law Abiding Citizen. I also didnt mind Olympus Has Fallen. Bit of a popcorn flick that one. No thinking needed.

 

[Cruyff14]

Butler was bloody good in PS I Love You

 

[Jatz]

Haha one of your favs Cruyff?

 

[Cruyff14]

Don't make me make a joke about your mother.... or sister.

That's not what we are saying. We would welcome it. It's just that the studios won't do it.

The general public who aren't film buffs only watch a movie when there are big actors. I've worked at the cinemas and I've studied it. I know the types of people who come in and what they will watch. I know the demographics. I've tried to persuade people to watch a great film but they will choose the real bad action film because it has well known actors. That's a fact.

 

[bok_party]

No it's not. It's horrendous.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

I'll go watch it but it's not the flick I'm looking forward to the most this year!

Quite a few choice films out this year! What are you hanging out most for mate?
