Guys, this movie doesn't have anything to do with politics. What it does do is clearly expand on the Always Sunny Universe, as it has Dennis clearly hunting man... again.

Ha, so one example, in which you literally reference a single person, is "damned close" to the "kitchen sink"?

Btw, I don't disagree that there are sh*t ton of liberal loons who do crap like that all the time. But it's not the majority. That's just the extremes you see on the news. Goes the other way as well. In the same way that not all liberals make everything about race, I know that not all conservatives are racist. Not by a long shot, obviously. But it's those generalizations that lead to so much of the discourse.

I was surprised Dennis was so eager to try that again after he did so poorly in The Strangers. I guess Cricket doesn't even count as human any more though so at least Dennis started with a weaker target that time.

Pretty sure Trump just started tweeting negatively about this movie. What a moron.
You could just ignore the tweets instead of starting up a mini-thread within this thread.

Except that the thread is *literally* about this very subject - not just the movie itself, but the perception of the movie, politically. That, and it's rare that any president tweets or talks about a movie before it comes out. Given all of that, I can think of nothing more appropriate than to inject his tweets into this thread. It's the rare case in which politics intersect perfectly with movies in a way that's actually relevant to the conversation at hand, and on the biggest stage, no less.

Well, the combination of Dennis, Betty Gilpin, Ike Barinholts, and playing Marshall Tucker Band in the trailer has me in on this. Looks like fun.

Well in a thread where I posted about hunting terminally I'll early stage brain cancer patients for estate planning purposes, surely you can not take things so literally.

Also someone claimed the flag going to half staff this week was racist because it ended on august 8th, meaning HH, aka heil hitler. This was discussed on national television. That might not be the kitchen sink but its damned close.

To be fair, this administration has previously released statements mirroring white supremacist numerology

Who the hell uses 88 as a denominator to express fractions?

ge, out of 88 claims that pass the credible fear screening, fewer than 13 will ultimately result in a grant of asylum.

Typical weak willed libs. They have to stop any movie that shows trump supporters as heroes or cast the coastal elites in a bad light. Cant let real Americans look like heroes.

The most offensive thing about this movie to me is Betty Gilpin's "southern" accent

Ha, that was my first though when she appeared. It's so bad I felt embraced for her.

Is this really surprising?

Just astronomically horrible timing for this movie. There was no way.......no way that a movie with this plot would see release this close to two mass shootings. Satire or not, this movie was doomed. There was no way this movie would get released because neither side of the political spectrum would dare stand up for a movie that depicts the hunting of human beings for sport after El Paso and Ohio and only a year before the election.

Maybe early next year we may see this film quietly released on Netflix or some other streaming service.

I'd still watch it, but I wouldn't have paid to see it in a theater even before the controversy.

I agree that releasing this movie after El Paso and Dayton would be in bad taste and I don't blame them for not releasing it....but....tctts' tweet shows why this whole thing is so worthy of ridicule.

The people insulted by this movie are the same people cast as the hereos.

This reminds me of Get Out with a bunch of conservatives screaming racism while the point of the movie and it's attack on liberal America went right over their heads.

The great thing here is that for the first time ever, Hollywood actually made the right decision to cancel a terrible movie.

Imagine if they would have called off the female Ghostbusters like they should have?

Looks like a good update of "the most dangerous game" with a dash of Logan's run a sprinkle of "walking dead" and pinch or "the purge"

It is a blumhouse production so it will make money.

Will watch on cable/streaming


It's literally about liberals hunting and killing republicans
The purge is about religious Christians hunting and killing brown people.

is that what the franchise turned in to? I only saw the first and recall it was about a suburban family trying to survive the Purge from crazy affluenza teens and their jealous neighbors. Or something. Oh and it sucked, I remember that too.

So this movie will end up like the original Manchuria Candidate, shown only after some amount of time? (Manchurian Candidate was prohibited from TV and maybe theaters, not sure on that, in the wake of the JFK assassination, but was made available again in the early 90s).

First one was great the others were fine. From the second forward they went into more of the ruling elite called the Founding Fathers (all white) conservative republican tea party types that use the purge to effectively reduce the minority population since they couldn't afford the same securitythat wealthy white suburbia can. Last movie on the origins of the purge literally marketed it with posters of red hats

Yea. They would totally be ostracized in their west Hollywood bubble for trying to put trump in a bad light.

Such courage. It's like storming Omaha beach.
