    All this talk about Trump dog whistles. Pass a law banning violent productions, let’s see how long Hollywood lasts. The closer the American public gets to the truth, the more rabid and insane the left will become.



    Universal Pictures pulls ads for horror film about liberal elitists hunting ‘deplorables’
    'Anyone see what our ratf***er-in-chief just did?' Universal Pictures film executives have reportedly pulled ads for an upcoming horror film, "The Hunt," which centers on a retreat for rich, elite liberals to physically hunt "deplorables" for sport.

    You are mischaracterizing the plot.

    I was reading this all over the web, maybe they are. I'm just opening this up for discussion. What I'm saying is think mirror. The left tells you one thing and it's exactly what they're doing.

    The plot involves rich people hunting ordinary people for sport but doesn't get into the political leanings of the combatants.

    If I may offer a suggestion. Don’t invite the children to the big people’s table for discussion. It’s over their heads.

    Well. For the most part I disagree. There are just a select few too immature for discussion. Others are reasonable.

    "At least the hunt's coming up. Nothing better than going out to the manor and slaughtering a dozen deplorables."

    If that quote is correct then yes absolutely this is a problem.

    Now normally I wouldn't care, but but given the the current environment I say throw everybody under the bus, they I certainly would go batshit crazy if the quote was illegals vs deplorables.

    I actually wanted to see this and made no connection in any way to Trump or politics...

    Maybe I'm weird.

    How do you determine they are liberals?

    Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They don't know they've been chosen… for a very specific purpose … The Hunt. In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a group of globalist elites gathers for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt humans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of the hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin, GLOW), knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman (two-time Oscar® winner Hilary Swank) at the center of it all.

    Does one need to attend a Klan rally to watch a film?

    I've actually read the book, never seen the movie.

    But I'd go see this one for the same reason I went to see Aladdin and The Lion King.

    Guess I cant now.

    Don't think so-----movie needs to go in the garbage. If people copycat what they saw in the movie, who gets the blame? Hollywood is STUPID!

    Your side started to play identity politics, see how things can get twisted. Any word Trump says gets twisted to racism.

    I agree the film looks idiotic and I can't believe it was funded, but they aren't responsible for the actions of others, unless they in context explicitly demand people take violent action immedietly.

    It could be an opportunity to make it clear how ****ing stupid all this antagonism toward your political opponents is.

    Maybe they'd try to recruit normal people and they're taken aback that everyone on all sides they ask is appalled at the suggestion they should become violent.

    But I doubt that's the route they'll go down.
