  1. Disney's claiming they lost like 200 million dollars on this movie. This is an interesting article on what went wrong with the marketing.

     

    The director thought John Carter was a famous figure and didn't want to call the movie "John Carter OF MARS" or something less generic. outside nerds people do NOT know who John Carter is

     

    I'm kind of trying to see it tho I've heard good thigs

  2. No dude, I know about the north african soldiers who were shot, also a tragedy but that was a separate incident (and its sad when anyone gets killed but 3 little kids is so much worse) Originally the media was linking them but that's not accurate. seems to have been an algerian al qaeda member

    EDIT: Oops, they do think it was the same man. damn shame about the soldiers too

  3. Oh yeah no question that the actual majority audience for Borat is very douchey and probably racist...we just read it in a different way than they do...like, probably some people laugh at Woody Allen for being such a nerdy emasculated loser...it's a big part of Jewish humor to do something that the gentiles read as mocking of jews, when in reality the joke is on them...it's minority ish.

  4. I'm gonna be real here, and yall aint have to agree with this, but this is just how people like my family and immediate friends view Sasha Baron Cohen:

     

    Fuck yeah, a proud Jew is making huge hollywood movies that call out all the antisemitism in the world, on the part of crackers, anglos, arabs, muslims, instead of pretending like it doesn't exist. He's saying shit that everyone else is afraid to say, and assimilated hollywood jews like spielberg won't even go near cause it's not a good career look.

     

    it's empowering for us

  5. Yeah, it's hard to make a living wage in the US unless you have at least 40,000$ (probably more) to drop on higher education. All the manufacturing jobs are gone...you know, even the left-wingish people here don't really be talking about unions cause they don't play a huge role in day to day life...also the US has become a multicultural, I think majority-minority country, and the unions did not cover themselves in glory in regards to racial integration.
