OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) ...and the Hollywood ilk has the gonads to point the finger elsewhere?....oh wait, it is a "harmless satire".......we're sinking fast...... Hollywood blockbuster that satirizes killing of ‘deplorables’ causes outrage: ‘Demented and evil’ By Brian Flood | Fox News Published 1 hour ago A controversial movie about privileged vacationers hunting “deplorables” for sport is ruffling feathers more than a month before its scheduled release and after tragic mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. “The Hunt” is billed as a satire that follows wealthy thrill-seekers taking a private jet to a five-star resort where they embark on a “deeply rewarding” expedition that involves hunting down and killing designated humans. The Hollywood Reporter reported on Tuesday that “Universal is re-evaluating its strategy for the certain-to-be-controversial satire" following the shootings after ESPN reportedly pulled a trailer for the film that had been previously cleared to air on the sports network. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/the-hunt-movie-deplorables Edited August 7, 2019 by OldTimeAFLGuy 1
Boca BIlls Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Ok... Jumanji had the same thing. Remember the guy that hunted Robin Williams for sport. Try again #######.
LeGOATski Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Hunting the most dangerous game - it's a classic trope
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 IF Hollywood is in it for the $$$, do they really think people will pay to see this? Or is this like the Producers, trying to generate tax losses?
LB3 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Yawn. I loved "Surviving the Game" when I was a teenager.

Gugny Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 So it was okay when people were hunting down Ice-T ... but now that it's a bunch of don's disciples being hunted down, it needs to be silenced. Hmmmm. Sign me up! (for the movie - not the hunting) 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 Lets not get you panties all bunched up now. I had heard there was a delay in the release. They have also delayed airing numerous TV shows that coincidentally reflected current tragic events.

Remember when Spiderman was delayed because the opening had him spinning a web across the recently destroyed WTC Towers? Remember when Phone Booth was delayed because of the D.C. Sniper? This stuff happens. 2
