Also I've looked up his own filmography, none of them interest me in the slightest. Wolf of Wallstreet actually pisses me off since apparently a lot of actual wallstreet fucks see themselves as heroes in it.

Stonks rise up !

Truly sad. I really hope that Chappelle's skit had nothing to do with this.

Yeah, I hope people didn't get offended that she dared find Chappelle funny and then harass her so much that she killed herself

It's really sad that people are starting to think Captain Marvel is a cult-film and Black Panther art-house political protest.

Looking at the MSM response to Joker, you have to wonder that if someone announced a film like Taxi Driver today if it would even make the big screen.
Wolf of Wall Street was a great film. Basically replacing the old gangsters like Martin portrayed in Casino and Goodfellas with gangsters of a new age, the Wall Street brokers.

As I type this, Google wants to auto-correct Goodfellas with Godzilla's.  :fbm

Thanks to buttblasted losers like incelsiorlef, I had to see what this Joker movie was about and it was alright. A lot of it felt like Marvel vs. DC in hindsight. Journalists are generally opportunistic scum for clicks and they were true to form here.

Mr Mom was the 9th highest grossing film in 1983.

Us out drew Hobbes and Shaw for 8th so far in 2019.

Boy, this comment seems kinda disingenuous, while this posteris spinning the shit out of everything in this topic to deflect away from Disney.

Quote from: TheKree
Does Dave Chapelle need a defense force? He's being paid millions of dollars by Netflix to show the world that he's less funny now than he was 15 years ago.

Daphne was not famous enough on her own to demand that Dave be left out of the story, she has 625 Twitter followers. This is not a news story without Dave's association. 

Does Excelsiorcief needs a defense force?

 Also... that last sentence.  :doge

Scarface is probably the best Scorcese movie. Maybe La Dolce Vita, or The Bicycle Thieves.

I dunno, he's done some good work!
Obviously not as good as Ant Man And The Wasp, but still

However I dont really disagree with Scorcese's take either, I just think it's silly to suggest Marvel movies are lazily made just because theres like 2-3 movies a year, when in reality it's more like 4-5 films or more are all being produced at the same time with huge work put into all the projects.

A movie having serious subject matter and being contemplative is a bad thing now.  :doge

ERA has been so brainwashed they really are at the “consume thing and immediately be excited for next thing” stage. They really don’t want movies that make them think a little bit. Just quips, action scenes and cardboard cutout characters whose sole trait is being badass.

The idea that Joker being a success w no shooting means that it was all moral panic wont ever not stop being funny and completely missing the point.

Your entire point for months was the movie was going to cause ANGRY WHITE MEN GRRR!! to go on shooting sprees because they were inspired by the movies message. That didn’t come true and now people are laughing at you and rightfully so.

Speaking of the angry white men thing

Joker success just reminds us that there’s a lot of “angry men” worldwide.

(Ignore the women who’ve seen and liked it please, this doesn’t fit the ERA agenda against the movie)

honestly I think their problem is the movie makes them uncomfortable because the message on signs is KILL the rich and we see that "incel" Joker is the cause of the movement and the rallying point, and you see the aftermath/ongoing violent protests, fires in the streets, police officers killed so Joker can escape

if ACAB and we need to eat the rich then this shows one interpretation of what that would look like, and it turns out they don't really want that at all

Agreed. They realize they would have to go outside and interact with others to get done what they so badly want to happen. Much safer to stay inside and complain online about "something needing to be done".

Quote
In a “hidden extra” of the Netflix special, Chappelle talked about becoming friends with a transgender woman.

Dorman confirmed that she was the person Chappelle was referring to, even changing her Twitter bio to reflect it:

“Yep, I’m the Daphne that Dave Chappelle is talking about in Sticks & Stones,” she wrote, adding “Actress. Activist. Author. Advocate. Amazon.”
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/transgender-activist-mentioned-dave-chappelle-160958957.html

Who cares if Martin Scorsese happens to not give a crap about superhero flicks? Big deal. It's like getting worked up over Roger Ebert claiming videogames are not art. Why get triggered about a little opinion that doesn't really much at all? Because the person in question is important in their field? So what? Heck I disagree with both of those opinions (even if I'm not into the MCU as a whole), but it's all just a massive shrug.

How is that not you implying Chappelle's words contributed to her death?
They did. Just almost certainly not directly. Every time a transphobe repeats rhetoric that demeans our very existence as a joke or something bad, our collective depression and helplessness increases, as does our chances to be the victim of violent crime.

Chappelle's exact words likely didn't kill her. The anti-trans hatred he added to society likely did. Words really do matter.

They seem incapable of understanding the difference between blockbusters 20+ years ago and the factory that is Disney that's gonna keep pumping out 2-3 shitty cape movies yearly for the foreseeable future.

Some of these movies are entertaining for sure, but to compare them to classics like Terminator 2?  :trigger

The only reason people have an emotional response (lol) to watching something like Endgame is because they've been following these characters for 20 movies. This is the reason these movies will never be classics; they can't stand on their own, they are part of this bigger thing. It's more like a TV series than anything.

Imagine watching Endgame without having watched any other MCU movie. CGI shitfest galore. No idea what the fuck is going on.

They did. Just almost certainly not directly. Every time a transphobe repeats rhetoric that demeans our very existence as a joke or something bad, our collective depression and helplessness increases, as does our chances to be the victim of violent crime.

Chappelle's exact words likely didn't kill her. The anti-trans hatred he added to society likely did. Words really do matter.

I wish something so obvious didn't have to be said.

I hope Chappelle at least takes time to think about the ideas I'm talking about. He can still change and leave his harmful transphobia behind.

Dave peddles transphobia. He normalizes transphobia. He dresses it up as jokes without punchlines, but it is still transpobia.

What do you think rampant transphobia does to people? Why do you think we don't allow naked open racism in comedy?

Dave may have been her friend, but he is a transphobia piece of shit who empowered other shitty transphobes who didn't have the cover of having a trans friend.

He didn't kill her and she wasn't hurt by him. He also stoked the fires of the transphobia that hurts all trans people.
This is how these alt-right icons operate, look at PewDiePie ordering the mass shooting in New Zealand. All the defenders were saying the same shit "he didn't actually order it" or "it was totally unrelated" which makes the dog whistles even clearer.

So much of this thread is just people calling out the OP for...reporting on the topic in a way that would help give context for people? Excel is one of the posters I know who's LEAST likely to start a thread in bad faith.

So if Dave's words didn't kill her and she wasn't hurt by him then what the fuck is there to discuss here? Why are we using the tragic suicide of somebody who he became friends with to disgustingly shout LOOK AT ME PLEASE!!

Fucking ERA. That thread would have been locked and Incel fucking banned permanently if moderation had any semblance of a nutsack among them.

Man I thought I was a MCU fangirl but these people are nuts. The MCU being the McDonald’s of movies shouldn’t be a controversial statement, it’s what makes them fun. But they are mad that fucking Scorsese doesn’t consider them as more than that. That’s fucking crazy, it’s no wonder they think something like Captain Marvel breaks new ground or that a movie like Joker is super controversial
A drive through big mac and fries can be great after a night of clubbing and drinking but gentlemen of culture know if you want to impress your date and get laid later you take them to watch the joker and if she's feeling especially cute take her to the gun range after :smug

Quote from: MidnightJon
no way, bronx-man did something plainly and obviously disingenuous knowing that half the forum wouldn't read past the OP?

Inflammatory generalizations about a community!

Quote from: MidnightJon
also extremely cool how bronx-man keeps getting banned for making racist jokes about warren

Backseat moderating!

Quote from: Anthrax
Yeah, it's super cool

Love me some racist "progressives"

At least take his thread making privileges away if this is the level of OP he's gonna make

More backseat moderating this time from a different polieratard

Quote from: MidnightJon
honestly if he's just gonna keep randomly taking potshots and trying to bait poliera just fuckin' perm him at this point, there's nothing he brings to the table anymore as a poster that 5 other people don't bring in equal measure

Still more backseat moderating, I presume MidnightJon thinks he’s in the PoliEra discord at this point.

Quote from: MidnightJon
this last ban is a repeat offense and he ain't getting better

Now we’ve got sleuthing, definitely not upset at all.

Quote from: Resident neoliberal Kirblar chimes in
He's done it before, specifically with Warren. It's not a new thing.

Kirblar! :rejoice

Quote from: MidnightJon, still fuming
matter of fact that post is literally the exact same "joke" that he ate a 2-week ban for last time

Bronx man is living rent free in MidnightJon’s head

Quote from: Fat4all
reading is for suckers and chumps

Fat4all realized someone else was getting attention and needed to shitpost and remind people he still existed, neat.

Quote from: MidnightJon... again
ah yes, good. so bronx-man's mission was successful, in that almost none of us are talking about the actual policy she announced but instead about this non-binding pledge (where the context of how seriously she expected anyone to adhere to it wouldn't even escape Jacob Wohl)

It’s all Bronx-man’s fault that PoliEra derailed his thread.

Quote from: Mod
Given the intent of this thread, we have locked it. If someone wants to create a new one to discuss the policy, they are welcome to.

Ah yes, it was a bad faith thread, of course. :putin
