Right, I'm sure a lot of people watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre and think to themselves, "Getting hoisted up on a meathook sure looks like fun!"
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

I dunno man. I watched that movie last night, and it had lots of killing/grisly murder, which must mean it glorifies murder.

Now...I'm, uh, out of rugs.

If ya get my drift.

The only strong compulsion I feel when walking away from TCM is the urge to blow a bunch of money on a wide angle macro lens.

Moving away from Cuties for a moment...

Back on July 1st, news broke out that Warner Bros. was creating a live action Frosty the Snowman film, starring Jason Momoa, the star of Aquaman. https://deadline.com/2020/07/jason-momo ... 202975009/

This news broke out only a few hours after Ray Fisher (Cyborg's actor) accused director Joss Whedon and producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg of abusive practices during the reshoots of Justice League. https://screenrant.com/justice-league-r ... explained/

Now, Jason Momoa has come out, and it turns out that Warner Brother's Frosty the Snowman movie was a FAKE MOVIE ANNOUNCEMENT TO COVER UP AND DISTRACT FROM RAY FISHER'S ACCUSATIONS! https://movieweb.com/jason-momoa-justic ... ouncement/

This feels like something straight out of a satire. I've never heard of a fake movie being announced to cover up a studio scandal.

Good thing that'll never happen. Jason Momoa as Frosty is just so out there as a concept.

I wanna hear if similar things happened to Affleck and Henry Cavill before i make my opinion on this though. If they report nothing on the sort, then 1. they're lying and Warner forced them to cover it up or 2. Warner has some actor bias.

Idk, depends on the Bond being written.

Same goes for any potential Bond

I hate to being this up again, but a grand jury has indicted Netflix over cuties!!
https://nypost.com/2020/10/06/netflix-i ... ties-film/
Netflix has been indicted by a Texas grand jury for allegedly promoting “lewd visual material” of a child in connection to the release of the controversial French film “Cuties.”

The grand jury in Tyler County returned the indictment against the streaming giant on Sept. 23, it was revealed Tuesday.

The indictment charges that Netflix did “knowingly promote visual material which depicts the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a clothed or partially clothed child who was younger than 18 years of age at the time the visual material was created, which appeals to the prurient interest in sex, and has no serious, literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”

Disney deserves to loose $9 billion like how Netflix did because of acting as shills to the CCP.

With the news of a new Batman animated series (of sorts, Batwheels - the Batmobile fights crime and teaches children life lessons) and a new Godzilla anime series, today's been a very good day for this fan.

11-year-old girls can't consent to being exploited in film just like they can't consent to sex with adults. What's the big deal?

The belief that this is some pro-pedophile movie that's exploiting 11 year olds to begin with is the big deal.

If the movie exploits 11 year old girls, then so do the dance classes my sister attended for the past decade. I never saw anyone complain about them.
