re: The Hunt : Why the melt?

Sounds like you are the one losing it. The huge point is not the idiots being brought to heel and throwing the whole thing out. It's the idea that such idiots exist in a world who could normalize making it. It was pretty clear from the get go that the "movie" would never make any public viewing. It's just laughable that the industry has jumped the shark to the extend that they have. The next thing will be the campier side will now shout they have been "silenced"...and can't express their "Values" in a fashion. However the pressure to drop it likely came from left wing sources who fear the repercussions in the upcoming presidential cycle. Any panic melt was coming from that side.

I intended to buy a ticket to a different movie then drop in on that one to keep from supporting the makers but to enjoy the laughs. Had to be some comedy gold in the way the little Hollywood figs portrayed the Homers and Jethro's from Missouri and Waffle House Georgia and Iowa in their characterizations of the prey. And the educated, sophisticated leftist sportsmen and women from N.Y. and L.A. who wouldn't know a firearm from a condom and just simply enjoy the sporting life and the interaction with their hunting dogs. What a time to be alive.
