OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 7, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted August 7, 2019 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted August 8, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 8, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
