Hollywood blockbuster that satirizes killing of ‘deplorables’ causes outrage: ‘Demented and evil’

Sadly, this has to be placed under Politics. Imagine someone made a movie involving hunting Obama fans, or maybe some Chinese Communists? The MSM would be outraged!

Hollywood blockbuster that satirizes killing of ‘deplorables’ causes outrage: ‘Demented and evil’

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.

“The violent, R-rated film from producer Jason Blum's Blumhouse follows a dozen MAGA types who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked for sport by elite liberals,” THR’s Kim Masters wrote. “It features guns blazing along with other ultra-violent killings as the elites pick off their prey.”

How can a movie be a "blockbuster" months before it even hits theaters?

What kind of fake news are you try to sell here?

Probably the marketing forecasts predicted this.. Because otherwise, there'd be no massive lack of soul or reason in the Universal planning for this release...

BlockBuster is a relative term ain't it? Universal doesn't plan massive release advertising for duds.. And they could win a weekend box office just in NYC, Los Angeles, and DC with this pornographic pandering to political derangement..

1. Find click bait headline from UK
2. Copy story to Fauxnews
3. ...
4. Profit?

A block buster refers to box office totals. It hasn't been released yet. The highly doubtful description of 'MAGA types' in the headline is bullshit. The hunted in the trailer are the heroes of the film, because they end up killing the elites in the end.

As I always say, Wingers are dumb as dirt.

Quibbling about a word.. Good job.. Ignore the topic and move on to your next fact check...

Thanks! Pointing out your ignorance is fun.

If the plot was turned and it was Trump supporters kidnapping and sport hunting leftists -- you believe all these hypocrites in the thread would have same "Its just a movie" and funny posts?

I have no clue, and no time for that, given that I am having my hands full defending what I am actually saying.

On the other hand, would we see you hyperventilating about the plot you outlined - about that "politicized incendiary Molotov cocktail of insane proportions at a time like this?"

Whatever "a time like this" is supposed to mean... a steady rise in White supremacist, neo-Nazi terrorism Trump doesn't care to call by its real name, has nothing to do with whether that flick is adequate or not, and neither has it anything to do with your dismissing the actual story to facilitate your outrage. I mean, really, try to take a breath and think it through: The plot is, the prey is better, more versatile, and winning. Hollywood can be trusted to make the prey look more human, more energetic, more sympathetic, in effect more human than the other side, or the winning part wouldn't add up in the eyes of the audience, and the flick would fall through. And that's why the actual story is important, and why it stands in the way of your hyperventilation, and that's why you have to dismiss the actual story.

Really, get ahold of your horses already. All that nonsense about the poor, dehumanized red-staters doesn't add up - you are merely falling for the Faux-generated narrative and that over-sized victim card they are doling out.

Sounds like a great flick

It’s also been recycled to death. Both on TV and in the Theatre. Hell they even had episodes related to “ The game” on Charlie’s Angels,Hart to Hart and Fantasy Island etc...

Hollywood. They place creativity goes to die.

This movie sounds like a ripoff of a film called 'Surviving the Game' starring Rutger Hauer made in 1994.

There has been about 8 or 9 of this type of movie.

 

[bullwinkle]

Can someone please explain how an unreleased movie that has never been seen in a single movie theater becomes a "BLOCKBUSTER".

Welcome to Trumpworld!

 

[The Irish Ram]

Remember all the liberal outrage over the youtube movie satire of Islam that Hillary and Obama blamed for the terror attacks in Benghazi? I wonder if we'll see the same outrage against this movie that stars big name Hollywood celebrates...

^ excellent analogy.

 

[edthecynic]

I actually cant find anything on this movie. Never heard of it, either. So my advice is: put your tongue firmly in cheek (either will do, left or right) and treat it as satire or as high camp.

Does This Help ??
Universal Pictures:

Universal Temporarily Halts Marketing for ‘The Hunt’ Following Mass Shootings
Universal Pictures Halts Marketing of Movie After Mass Shootings
Ads Pulled for Gory Universal Thriller 'The Hunt' in Wake of Mass Shootings (Exclusive)

Next the Right will bitch that Universal will not promote movies made by Right-wing Indie production companies.

DO YOU CARE --- who is being hunted if it's an obvious political message??? Do YOU???

The answer is telling.. It really is....

The Globalist Elites are hunted and killed by the people you call deplorables.
What obvious political message does that tell.

 

[HappyJoy]

The ones being hunted in the movie are portrayed as the good guys. It does not appear that liberals are going to root for one side and conservatives the other. Fucking idiots look for conspiracy everywhere.

DO YOU CARE --- who is being hunted if it's an obvious political message??? Do YOU???

The answer is telling.. It really is....

Do I care? It's average Joe being hunted by elitists. The plot line has been done before and other than the recent mass shootings I don't think anyone would really give two shits about the "message" you think it's sending.

Yeah -- folks in Arkansas being hunted by sicko elites from big urban centers.. Folks they call "not human".. Watch the trailer at post 28 and get back to me.. Not too quick tho.. You tend to not THINK before you reply.. It's like 3 seconds and spew...

Ponder it a bit.. See if you have SENSE of "right and wrong" left and pretend you're a demented partisan who would like to be a hero by shooting up some people for political sport....

So we need a sense of right and wrong to say that hunting people is wrong?

Lighten up.....it’s a movie
Don’t like it, don’t go see it

I'll do more than just not go see it.. I'll make sure the sadistic jerks at Comcast/Universal get pummeled for this blatant, inflammatory propaganda film that dehumanized and condones hunting of a large portion of the US population at a time like this..

It doesn't do that and no you won't. I doubt more than a dozen people are going to care about another anonymous wingnut ranting at the media.

In the middle of posting last night, my entire Comcast service went out.. There was an "outage" but no outage map available to me from Comcast at 12:15 this morning.. This is a test to see whether the monied interests at Comcast are intent in suppressing this story. If I suddenly disappear again in an hour or so, I'll know...

How is it you're a mod? You sound insane.

I know that YOUR choices of news and opinion are avoiding this with all their might. Because it shows more inflammatory intent than Trump calling the massive refugee stream "an invasion".. YET -- you can't lighten up on that because you're beyond enlightenment.. Psych evals all around.. You included. To determine who is a threat to society....

The President is a real person, not an invention of your fucked up head.

Yo, liberals and other non-wingnuts, why are we here? This lunatic is a fucking mod.

 

[rightwinger]

So, a gaggle of rich gather to hunt down some poor sods, and the rightarded corporate propaganda masters assure deplorables they are being victimized in a flick no one has seen yet. The script, it turns out, is that the so-called "deplorables" kill off the rich guys, but still, the "deplorables" sure are being oh-so terribly victimized.

Not any right wing imagination.. ALL of the kidnapped trapped "animals" are from Red States. All of the elites are Blue state liberals. Read the fucking summaries I posted from Biz Insider, Yahoo News, and Deadline... They ALL described the plot the SAME FUCKING WAY.. Except for Universal's OWN site of course that the Happy Freak posted...

You just close your eyes when the despicable provocation goes your way and is cynically engineered by "your side"... You need to check your hypocrisy.. Because if you're going after Repubs and Trump for INFLAMING the culture and language of this country and IGNORING BLATANT COMMERCIAL capitalization on the hate, you've lost the ability to have a moral compass...

So the red state targets end up killing the blue state hunters

Sounds like a conservative fantasy

Why should any CONSISTENT THINKING person CARE about who wins... I guarandamntee if the plot was turned and Blue State voters were dehumanized, kidnapped and hunted -- YOU WOULD BE RIGHT HERE -- raising holy hell and blaming Trump...

I'm just doing what I always do.. Calling a consistent game of balls/strikes...

This movie seems like a conservative wet dream

Evil Liberal Elites hunting innocent conservatives for sport. The innocent conservatives win in the end.

Gotta love it.

Conservatives love this shit

 

[edthecynic]

What a shock, liberals trying to cash in. Can hardly wait for the claim of "free speech" or "I have no idea how these kids get so violent".

Actually it is the CON$ervoFascist scum who are trying to cash in, as the movie is actually about deplorable Trump Nationalists killing GLOBALIST ELITES. But you knew that already.

Yep, Hollywood is all about conservatives.

It is not a Hollywood production, it's a low budget Indie from the Right leaning Blumhouse Productions. Universal was only distributing it, and now that they are not the Right will bitch about how Universal discriminates against CON$ervoFascist production companies.

 

[edthecynic]

This needs to be repeated over and over.

There was indeed outrage. They blamed the attack solely on that online movie, the guy that made it even went to jail. Selective First Amendment.

Lies ALWAYS have to be repeated over and over.
The film maker was jailed for bank and credit card fraud, not the movie. But you knew that already.

What stinky orifice did you pull that analysis out of.. It's all Red State people being kidnapped and hunted for sport.. Don't think you spent 20 seconds watching the trailer or reading the 3 reviews of it that I posted...

As usual, you just can't follow the script and the facts....

Actually it's about them turning the tables and hunting and killing the "Global Eliteits" who kidnapped them.
You are obviously just mindlessly parroting GOP hate radio and FOX.

Sure sure sure.. The CAST for the film alone cost $80mill at least. Not to mention the release thru the Universal system and guaranteed cable income from the OWNER which is Comcast...

When you have the ACTUAL production costs, come back and whine some more will ya??? And while you're at it -- make sure the Chi-Coms aren't the big backers of this thing.. Could BE --- they just might be trying "to influence an election".... Or cause actual civil conflict..

Lawdy knows, they're backing and stacking a HUGE number of Hollywood turdish movies in the past couple years...

 

[edthecynic]

That crappy POS didn't have multiple star power or a $100Mill budget either.

You just make that shit up!

Blumhouse Productions is an American film and television production company, founded by Jason Blum. Blumhouse is known mainly for producing low-budget horror films, such as Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Get Out, Insidious, Split, Happy Death Day, Upgrade, Sinister, Halloween, and The Gift.

Why the fuck do you care about who wins?? Is it because politics to you is just all about winners and winning?

It's WRONG... It's indefensible to leverage boxoffice profit off of pitting actual contemporary political tribes in conflict on the big screen..

Doesn't matter to me WHO the "good guys" are... All I know is who is the Bad Guys are here that need their heads examined for producing this.....

Again you just pulled that shit out of your fat ass.
When you have the ACTUAL production costs, come back and whine some more will ya!

Go look up the going price for just the LEAD characters. I did.. You might be able to if you stop drooling...

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Violence is the only language liberal humanoids understand, just like their 60 generation cousin-inbred muslim whoremasters.. In every way that matters there is zero difference between a liberal and a muslim. You should see my liberal family members start screaming their heads off at me, sometimes even going into sobbing meltdowns, when I point out proven, verifiable facts about Islam's cascade of human rights atrocities....just as muslim pond life would.

Liberals are so bereft of a moral compass, they actually scream at me that I'm WORSE than the terrorists themselves for stating world-wide known facts about the most demonstrably violent hate ideology; in other words, to them, condemning Islamic violence is somehow WORSE than muslims committing murder......and then people wonder why I have a detestation of liberals to which no profanity could do justice.

It's a badge of honor
