Byron McNertney Solid 6 (8 if you're drunk)

Makes me think of Hotel Rwanda. The director planned to make the

movie super violent and gory to help the audience appreciate the fact that hundreds of thousands of people were brutally murdered with machetes. After further consideration, however, he decided that it would be more impactful to show the responses of the characters to the violence instead of the violence itself. I think that ended up being more impactful.

I won't watch it, but not cancelling Netflix. I hate cancel culture. Not gonna be part of it.

9/11/20 12:57pm

This is not cancel culture. Do you believe it is Netflix's right to have your money? Don't you as the consumer get to

There is no definitive "end"...it's a personal choice

Conclude? There is no conclusion. It's capitalism. You as an individual get to make hundreds of decisions every day

So you are cancelling cancel culture?

Yeah, some things are worth canceling over. Exploitation of kids is one of them.

Their biggest mis-step was the promotional poster. When you saw it it made you

Correct. Not true. The girls isn't underage. It's a competing dance group. It

Based on your post you skipped a lot of it. You could have missed it.

You must've watched Step Up or some other movies. Clearly not Cuties

To be fair, that's likely what we'll do. It's also a good time to cancel. But,

We're going to show you how awful it is to sexualize young girls! Watch my movie which does just that!

Pretty much. What's most disappointing is the story could have been told

Disturbing that two posters would roll their eyes at this post

Boycott Sundance also... since it won an award a the 2020 film festival.

Don't forget to cancel A&E and Discovery channels!!

You know what.. its probably best to just cancel your internet.

Forbid that people vote with their wallets. How despicable of them.

Vote away.. Most people will just be back when Stranger Things season 3 is out.

Was the sex slave women actress an adult or an 11-14 year old girl?

The Old Y

9/11/20 1:48pm

'dance suggestively' is not sex.

TheLost

Adults actresses consenting to a sex slave movie role isn't a crime.

What was the crime committed in the filming of Cuties? Other than bad taste?

Why would you willingly give Robert Redford money to begin with?

You should watch it on Netflix and find out 🙂

How would I watch your Metallica Concert at sundance on Netflix?

We cancelled today, too. And even though we'll probably start up again later on,
