That's why I'm calling for a massive boycott of all the new Hollywood movies including not buying any of their Hollywood movie merchandise.


You picked a bad year to boycott. Especially when you factor in merchandising.

Just a few examples of 2017 releases:

Kong: Skull Island
Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Thor: Ragnarock
Spiderman: Homecoming
Logan
Blade Runner 2049
Wonder Woman
Justice League
Alien: Covenent
Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi
The Dark Tower
War for the Planet of the Apes
It
Kingsmen: The Golden Circle
The Fate of the Furious
John Wick 2
Ghost in the Shell
Dunkirk
Transformers: The Last Knight
Beauty and the Beast
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Power Rangers
The Lego Batman Movie


Hell, there may be more merchandising heavy movies this year than there has been in any single year in the last 30 years.

Better yet, let's just all watch their movies illegally. Pay the Iron Price for it. That way we get to enjoy the product knowing that they won't get one cent off of us.

At least they won't be surviving off of the money of Americans who support President Trump.



hate to break it to you, but 90% of trump voters will go see hollywood movies anyway. The temptation to see the latest Fast and the Furious movie will just be too much.

How much money did Frozen make off of merchandising the main character to little girls?



I don't know,

When did Frozen or the actors get on some soap box and trash on your conservative sensibilities?

You insinuated Hollywood can only make a profit by marketing characters to children. That was one of the many examples where that wasn't the case.

Hell, Horror films have been making a killing the past decade being cheap to produce and they pull a sizable return. I must have missed all those lunchboxes.

So, to clarify, you hope someone has career trouble because you don't agree with their political opinion?

That list makes me sad, GCT. There are some good movies in there. Dunkirk will be amazing. But the lack of original content sucks.

Eta: i need to get with you on some book recs.

I guess it depends on how you define "original content". A lot of those are stories that represent original content that has never been presented as a movie before.

frick you. I am watching Game of Thrones when it comes back on. Don't even care.


You must be able to separate the two. I can love Scarlett Johansson for her acting and her amazing tits without liking her politics

Thats the problem with the left. Once they disagree with one thing, they hate everything

I never watch movies from Hollywood's Outspoken Libtards, unless it is a screener. That way they never get a dime from me!

The irony is that Trumptards started the expression when in fact, THEY are the biggest snowflakes alive.

They melt over winning.
They melt over anyone who isn't licking Trump's boots.
They melt over everything the media says.
They melt over melting.

I honestly have never seen a group of people who claim to be "winning" do so much melting.

THAT'S a snowflake.






bullshite.

The supporters of President Trump are going to attack the loser lefty snowflakes who are just upset because Trump is POTUS whenever the loser lefty snowflakes think they can disrupt this country by blocking airports and roads with massive protests then have their loser lefty Hollywood idols act like everyone in America supports them.



Thanks for the first-hand illustration.

Sure. Having a political opinion and preaching it are two different animals. I bet you have a problem with preachers talking politics from their pulpits, no? Same thing here. If they're so politically bent then how come they don't run for office more often? If they did, then I'd listen.

bullshite.

Schmucks like you are anti-capitalist because you can't even think of a way to earn an honest $1.

Go worship your Hollywood Idols and their golden Oscar!




Newsflash: Just because I don't lick Trump's boots like you do, doesn't mean I don't earn a living or that I worship Hollywood Idols, snowflake.



moar melting please, I am entertained.
