I love when Russia does this shite. They take some sanctified leftist agenda issue and bitch slap it right in the face. They are better at drumming up butthurt than any nation on earth.

Still no mention of China's racist edits to Star Wars posters, etc.
quote:

Elton John and the “Rocketman” filmmakers have rebuked a Russian distributor for cutting scenes with gay sex and men kissing from the biopic.

“We reject in the strongest possible terms the decision to pander to local laws and censor ‘Rocketman’ for the Russian market, a move we were unaware of until today,” read a statement released Friday. “

Seriously, the whole thing really is just one gay dude being jealous that another gay dude got a fabulous, acclaimed biopic (boipic?) and now he has demanded his own.

I would rather decide myself not to bring my kids to it, and not have my government make that decision for me.

Sanctified Leftist Agenda? It's a biopic about an actual gay man.

All cultures are equal right? Somalia is just as good as Denmark, all cultures bring great things to the table.

We need the Russians diversity of thought.

When I first read the headline I thought the Russians had cut Lil Kim’s pecker off and that is why he killed all those folks

Why don't they just ban it from being shown in that country?

Or just kill anyone who sees it in it's original form.

Russia being russia I reckon.

If they are afraid of a movie turning their population gay,then they have bigger problems than they realize.

I can choose to not watch it on my own.

Exactly, and that is the choice I made, not my government's.



ETA: I can hardly fricking believe that you and I might have a little common ground here.

Is there anything left to show? I would imagine that movie is nonstop gayness.

It's a film about a highly successful gay man's life. Agenda? Was he not supposed to show what happened in his life in a movie about his life? How about this, if you don't want to see gay shite don't go see a biopic about a gay man?

I mean, Elton John even blasted the ridiculous leftists whining about not casting a gay guy to play him.

I am surprised that the studio’s contract with the local distributor does not prohibit the local distributor from altering the film.

It’s the opening and closing credits, but with every male makeup artist or hairstylist’s name blurred out.

It's a movie that exists because one bitchy homo was jealous of another bitchy homo's biopic movie - as well as all of the downloads it spawned.

But yeah, everything is all about the gayness now. Putin knows this is just cultural erosion. After all, his Soviet predecessors invented it, so he gives it the boot and bathes in the butthurt.

I have to say I'm proud of Russia. Between offering South African farmers asylum and standing up to the gay mafia they are really doing some good in this world. Having rejected communism, a large revival of Christianity is driving it.

Good Lord, the film has been in development in concept for almost 20 years and active development for more than five. I doubt the 2018 release of the Freddie Mercury film was the precipitating factor.
