Coming cultural backlash

Precisely. The U.S. based movie industry is bombing at the box office pretty much across the board where most of their predicted blockbuster type movie offerings are concerned BECAUSE they have gone full bore ideologically leftist in nature, and people are simply tired of being lectured all the damn time; and especially so by people who are pretty much so financially secure that they are utterly isolated from reality.

 

Outstanding assessment. Thanks!

 

and the rest of Americq

 

Referencing Clint (just to throw shade at your obsessed-over bogeyman (The Big Bad Left))?

Clint is 87, but another Dirty Harry movie would be cool (but not for the hideously flawed reasoning that your OP exhibited).

Carry on and happy trolling.

 

No, it was just aimed at the politically correct leftists who hate the Constitution and want to remake America into worker's paradise.

 

Oh my. I hope you don't have a degree in history or political science.

 

It would be great to have a personal
liberty revolution, getting back to the individualism of the Constitution instead of the collectivism of the radical left.

 

While that may be your wish...it does not seem at all likely and I am still left wondering what I am missing.

 

Will they ever figure it out? You'd think so...but I hope not!

 

Oh does it?

We should have endless idiotic religious movies instead? You know they are basically the same thing right?

Am reading a fantastic new book called Ghost Empire right now, about Constantinople and the Romans there until it fell.

But one story about St Nicholas cracked me up. The Dutch screwed the name up and us Spanish/English finished it off.

St Nicholas
Sintnerclas
Santa Claus

Anyways, the origional St Nicholas walked across the isle at the council of Nicea and beotch slapped THE Arius (founder of Arianism) in the face for being a heretic.

Whatever his religious beliefs, he sounds like a badarse!

He was born super rich and used his money for "good"

One story, is a broke guy was going to have to sell his daughters to slavery. So it was thought St Nicholas threw a bag full of gold which landed up on a shoe, drying by the fire.

And now days, we have the stockings by the fire thing for Christmas!

So when you make fun of me for liking Thor or Doctor Strange, you better not be religious

 

Why am I not surprised?

 

That's a reasonable point regarding the Death Wish series, though the "victims" in those movies were violent criminals, and Bronson's character lost his wife and daughter to same.

Dirty Harry was a cop and licensed to shoot violent criminals dead, not wander around shooting random citizens for fun, so I don't get your point there at all.

 

Yet Avatar, which was targeted toward a more leftish sensibility, grossed nearly a Billion dollars.
Just say'n.

 

So what made more money? Dirty Harry movies or Frozen, a Disney film?

People still like a feel good, good moral story FAR more than a revenge flick.

 

Wtf are you babbling about? Comic book movies suck. Bad. The plot is crap and completely predictable. There's about 10 epic comedy fails in each one. Complete rinse repeat zero writing talent moronic crap.

 

I wear my scum openly. I dont value the things society says you should value. I value freedom and having stories to tell. I don't value work, as its a means to an end

 

So far, we have seen a political revolution which has decimated the Democratic party. Recently football games, entertainment, and the press have sold to fewer customers. Time will tell us if a cultural revolution is here.

 

Here are the movie's revenues in 2017 dollars:
Dirty Harry: 220 million
Magnum Force: 230 million
The Enforcer: 200 million
Sudden Impact: 170 million
The Dead Pool: 80 million

These are ok revenues but are nothing like the modern blockbusters of today. I understand you like these movies but as the series went on it just kept rehashing the same thing and I don't think another remake will do justice to the original and nobody wants it anyway.

 

I am not calling for "Death Wish VI," not exactly, but yeah, I do think we are overdue for a "one man against the neighborhood thugs kicks ___" movie. Probably need to shorten the title, LOL.

 

I just can't imagine anyone else than Clint Eastwood playing and he is really old right now and more suited for the director's chair. I am getting tired of terrible remakes and would prefer to just re-watch the originals.

 

I could play it. Check out my Clint chops: "Judy, Judy, Ju--" no wait, that ain't it. Here we go: "You dirty rat, you killed my brother."

I ... smell ... Oscar

 

Well, you're no hypocrite, so good on you for that!

 

BTW, Dirty Harry is playing on the Sundance TV channel right now!
