    Liberals hunting down conservatives? Talk about unbelievable fiction. I got my money on a conservative with nothing more than a rock. :eek:

    But is it racist? This is the only important question right now. Trump called Hollywood racist and used this movie as the example.

    Is it racist? Trump says it’s racist and he is the least racist.

    I am not racist, not a Trump voter.

    But I do enjoy a robust economy.

    Jobs.

    Everything is racist, can’t question that.

    The movie is not Liberals and it's essentially a remake that has been done several times.

    The most dangerous game.

    Surviving the game.

    That's just 2 of the top of my head.

    Smart. It will make more money now.

    I dont watch many movies but i recall a movie a few years ago that was banned or something that ended up being successful. I am sure this is already trending.

    Sometimes it works out well and sometimes it doesn't. See Boondock Saints and Columbine. This seems a lot like that situation. Bet it goes direct to Netflix in six months.

    So is this movie PC or not PC?

    and does this count as being triggered?

    I can see how Trump supporters see themselves as a race. They've devolved collectively.

    Will they also cancel 21 Bridges? A movie about killing cops?

    I vaguely remember reading that in school. Which makes me wonder if it's still standard reading in school. See an article on Google about a Colorado mom in 2012 trying to get it out of the curriculum.

    It was actually a radio play 3 or 4 times in there as well. Obviously this not directly the same as the book as it involves a shipwreck and s sinister Russian general.

    Here's Orson Wells doing it in 1943:



    After reflection, I'm kind of glad that people are still upset enough by mass shootings to want to do more than the infamous "Thoughts and Prayers". I was afraid that they'd just become part of the background noise of American culture.

    How dare Hollywood rehash an idea they have used several times over.

    It doesn't look any more disgusting than The Hunger Games. I like how Universal tries to make out like it's not a tawdry indulgence in violence by calling it a satirical social thriller.
