The American Assassin movie is gonna be a giant slap to the face for anyone that enjoyed those books.
That's going to piss me off if so. That is one of my favorite book series. There is a new Mitch Rapp book coming out soon. Can't wait to get it.

It's a private company doing what they want. This isn't the government banning anything. The hyperbole in this thread is ridiculous.

We're well aware. But it's a private company bowing to the loud demands of a bunch of PC-obsessed retards, and we don't like it.

So you want them to bow to your demands.

Yes. We want businesses to stop bowing to PC pressure. Are we supposed to not have an opinion?

1984 is literally coming true. That's terrifying.

Good God this is retarded. It's nowhere near like 1984.

Ironic that there is a museum dedicated to Margaret Mitchell's life (the house where she wrote the book located on the corner of 10th and Peachtree). The films success led directly to her ability to fund an endowment on the local black medical schools so they could build standard grade hospitals and provide quality educated physicians.

The Empire Strikes Back should be banned because Lando was portrayed in a negative light.

Supremacy my arse. The ultimate goal is to erase white history. And we are watching them do it.

But i guess it is still OK to show "Roots", right? Sure because a black man wrote it and it shows white people beating slaves.
What about "The 10 Commandments"? Lots of slavery in that one - oh wait they were white slaves so it is ok I guess.
I had a black friend ask me over a year ago if I thought GWTW was possibly racist or triggering. I told her that actually the character of Mammy is portrayed as one of the most loved and strongest people in the story.
Rhett even states that Mammy is one of the few people whose respect he would like to have. (Mammy had called Scarlett and Rhett "mules in horse harnesses" meaning that they could dress themselves up but they didnt fool anyone). Notice she wasn't beaten and the remark amused Rhett.
The only "abuse" of a black person shown is when Scarlett slapped Prissy and that was completely justified and Scarlett would have slapped anyone who did what Prissy did. (She failed to get the doctor when Melanie was in labor and instead dawdled and Melanie almost died).

Out this weekend in theaters is the film BUSHWICK. Set present day, it's a piece of left wing paranoia with an ill-timed release. In the film the Republic of Texas secedes from the Union and as a negotiating tactic decides to take over part of New York to secure their exit.
Unfortunately for the Texas (aided by other southern militia groups) who expected New Yorkers to be unarmed, the locals have stockpiles of weapons -- an ironic endorsement of the 2nd Amendment.
Dave Bautista plays a military veteran who tris to help actress Brittany Snow's character get to a safe zone to evacuate.
Along the way they shoot more than their fair share of rednecks, aided by the local drug dealers and, of course, multicultural patriots.
Had the film insulted any other state in the union undergoing massive flooding, death, and devestation from a hurricane there'd be public outcry. Insult a Trump-voting state and the MSM gives Hollywood a free pass.
Perhaps their political leanings is why CNN all but ignored Hurricane Harvey up until earlier today (Sunday).
Reviews of BUSHWICK have been mixed. Some lament the lack of minorities in the cast and that Bautista looks like a skin head. His character is also a veteran, something Huff Po says makes you a racist.
Post-Trump election movies and TV have displayed leftist political paranoia. For example, the multi-award winning delusional (Christians are bad) "Handmaid's Tale" and the psy op (prepare the country for losing their President) "Designated Survivor" TV series.

Oh well...I still have my copy on DVD. As well as "Birth of a Nation" (I'm a film buff).
Let 'em come and try to take them, if they dare.

In the spring of 1977, Haley was charged with plagiarism in separate lawsuits by Harold Courlander and Margaret Walker Alexander. Courlander, an anthropologist, charged that Roots was copied largely from his novel The African (1967). Walker claimed that Haley had plagiarized from her Civil War-era novel, Jubilee (1966). Legal proceedings in each case were concluded late in 1978. Courlander's suit was settled out of court for $650,000 (equivalent to $2.4 million in 2016) and an acknowledgment from Haley that certain passages within Roots were copied from The African.

"Roots" was supposed to be about Alex Haley's direct ancestors.

When the film made its world premiere in December, 1939 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Hattie McDaniel was told pointedly by the theater's management that she wasn't welcome at the premiere due to segregation laws in Georgia. Clark Gable was incensed by this and told them that if she couldn't be there, he wouldn't be either.
Ms. McDaniel graciously bowed out, citing a "prior conflicting engagement", letting Gable off the hook and allowing everybody involved to save face.
