This actually makes it even more relevant.
We are finally getting to the "bottom" of this! I knew SPS would find out what was going on.
I should qualify: Would they make that movie, or should they make that movie today?
What? Marvel and DC movies have triggered people politically for years.
There are a few jokes they would word a little differently in 2025, but nowadays the "77 million Americans" would whine about how "woke" and "alienating" it is. Y'all get that the racists are the butt of the jokes in that movie, right?
It’s a satire on racism? No way**
A lot of people would cry about how woke and alienating that is if they made it in 2025, unfortunately.
I really don't know how you could disagree with that. Just look at the threads complaining about "woke" movies we've had in the last decade on this forum alone. Blazing Saddles is woker than all of them.
Lots of people said the same thing in 1974, that segregation had ended and it was time to move on from talking about racial issues.
We have a theater here located within an outdoor mall, we used to go in just to get popcorn and walk around. Now those bastards check tickets before you enter the theater. Must have been a problem or maybe just to keep the stupid *** kids out.
I brought the whole family to see the re-released Pink Floyd: Live from Pompeii (1972). It was awesome in the theater.
I still listen to Pink Floyd when Roger Waters was in the band, that dude is as far away in political and personal views as anyone, don't care.
I’d say Rage Against the Machine is (especially De La Rocha) is completely different politically than 80% of their fans. Left and Right.
You had to go this route? I'm amazed it took you this long to get triggered. He lives on in your mind. Go to a political board and vent your frustration.
It was said that we were looking at the past as being more favorable when it came to cinema. We were looking at the past more favorable than actually was.
You can go back and look at movies from the 70s/80s/90s and find things. Everybody now has their radar out looking for anything that they don’t like and it gets accelerated by social media pointing it out.
This is so true. Watch Robin Hood with Errol Flynn and then the later version with Kevin Costner. The Errol Flynn version he gets whipped by Little John but convinces him to follow him. Costner is getting whipped by Little John but ends up beating him up by devious measures and makes him physically submit.
