For someone who's always talking about how sensitive they are, it's funny that you're so hostile to entertainment that's considerate of others feelings.

I've deleted my comment. I wish I never posted in this this thread. I can't stop crying.

Meh, welcoming a break from "soft," entertainment to war/action stuff isn't necessarily hostile to the soft stuff. If all I saw was soft this and that flowery stuff whatever I'd be pretty stoked for a good war movie, too.

It's the whole next civil war fantasy stuff that's a bit objectionable. Wouldn't wanna give any crazies crazy ideas to act out their crazy fantasies.

Obviously this movie is supposed to be controversial for this exact reason and it's a part of what's going to market the film and get people to see it - very likely including me.

I just hope it doesn't inspire any of the gravy seals militias across the USA to try to kick things off and get their next civil war started is all. I guess it depends how the whole thing is framed in this movie. Maybe it'll just be entertainment and that's it. Maybe it'll be particularly enjoyed by accelerationists, but won't add any real fuel to the fire since they already believe what they believe anyways.

The comment was valid, IMO. Hope you don't stay too upset over one person's criticism of it.

Have a puff & relax if you've got any herb to smoke. 8) (After I finish some paperwork I think I'm gonna have a puff and hit the treadmill.)

You're right. I'm a black, red and yellow monster. I deserve to be baited by the more peaceful members. That's how bad I am.

What are you waiting for. You can all have a go at me, right here and now. Tell me what a Nazi you all think I am.

I don't mean to upset you, only to point out that the same people who constantly complain about media being woke for including characters from backgrounds different from theirs, would be just as hostile if a character like you was depicted, because that would be 'too woke' as well.

I don't get why someone would align themselves with people who openly are hostile to them.

You're a good guy, you deserve allies who respect you.

You're much more a sweet pea than a monster. If I thought you were a monster I wouldn't bother pointing these things out because a monster wouldn't care.

When I try to appeal to your sense of decency that's proof that I believe you possess one, unlike monsters and trolls.

Thank you. I'm sorry about my meltdown.

They happen to the best of us.

Just try to remember if I'm challenging you on something like that, it's not because I want to be mean or upset you, it's because I want point out something that I feel needs to be considered, as well as to see how your thought process works.

I'll try to remember. I think everyone on WP has seen how my thought process works over the past hour. My big, soft gingerbread heart takes over and I become a blubbering mess. I'm almost 50 years old and I still cry. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me. I'll try to be a little more stoic next time. Who's ever heard of a 50 year old who cries unless they're an autistic German?

Seen plenty of people way older than that cry for various reasons. You're far from the only adult to get upset enough about something to cry.

This was supposed to be a nice thread about a movie, but it's been crapped on by a Golden Eagle. I didn't mean to screw your thread up.

Anyway.. let's get this right back on topic!

A new trailer dropped this past Tuesday:



The creepy whistling of America the Beautiful gives off a 28 Days Later vibe :skull:
