I saw this trailer in theaters before the new Ant Man movie... hoo boy.


The whole thing seems like massive pandering to me (even though I'm probably racist because I think this) and will probably paint the victims as people who were innocent little angels that were on their way to church.

This is based off of a young adult novel of the same name, which looking at the author...

I can kinda see this will be a very bipartisan movie.

There is also an uproar that the main character is "too light-skinned" in the movie. :story:

Check the comments on the trailer. You can never please these people. Never.
 
Holly wood has hit peak lazy. We laughed and said wow another sequel another reboot how can it get worse?

This is quite literally it.

They take a lazy talking point that's PC and "in" and make a lazy fluff film for no work or effort the entire angle is to be bad so they can just scream victim and rake in 12 oscars for being laughed at for making a movie where a black man eat's cheerios and randomly people call him a coon.

The industry is using the culture to pump out shit lazier than transformers 11 and that should say something.

This movie probably was written by an espresso blooded 22 year old who sold the script for 10k and not much more than a way to push political guilt to awards and profit instead of any sort of effort or film making skill.

It's a win win if you see it you'll be let down as its gonna suck. If you don't you get shamed. Hollywood can't get lazier.. but we said that about tomb raider 7 ...
 
Prediction: I'll bet this does really well opening weekend but once the Woke crowd sees it, it dies like Elvis on the toilet from terminal diarrhea and amphetamine withdrawal.

A police union in South Carolina wants Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give removed from a high school summer reading list because the novel is “almost an indoctrination of distrust of police.”

According to The Guardian, the Fraternal Order of Police Tri-County Lodge #3 challenged Wando High School’s ninth grade summer reading list. Of the eight books recommended, two Thomas’ and Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely’s All American Boys tackle police brutality.

John Blackmon, president of the lodge, said his union “received an influx of tremendous outrage at the selections by this reading list,” and wondered why the school chose to “focus half of their effort on negativity towards the police” when “there are other socio-economic topics that are available.”

“Freshmen, they’re at the age where their interactions with law enforcement have been very minimal,” Blackmon continued. “They’re not driving yet, they haven’t been stopped for speeding, they don’t have these type of interactions. This is … almost an indoctrination of distrust of police and we’ve got to put a stop to that.”

Thomas’ book, which has been turned into a feature film, follows 16-year-old Starr who witnesses the murder of her childhood friend and crush at the hands of police. Starr’s uncle Carlos acts as a father figure to her throughout the book and is also a cop. All American Boys finds Rashad trying to overcome his distrust of law enforcement after he was falsely accused of shoplifting and subsequently beat up by the cop. Both novels have been praised and won several literary awards.

Principal Dr. Sherry Eppelsheimer said in a statement, the complaint has been received and the school board will review the books in question. The National Coalition Against Censorship has offered their services to the school in hopes to keep both books on the summer reading list.

“Removing books that have been selected for their educational value solely because the ideas expressed in the conflict with some parents’ political or moral beliefs would improperly allow parents to dominate the public education process with their opinions,” “For young readers in Charleston, The Hate U Give and All American Boys offer insight into the racial injustices many people of color experience, and inspiration for young activists who desire change.”

The bigger mystery might be why Hollywood keeps adapting crappy YA novels into movies. A Wrinkle in Time has set the standard for bombs in 2018 and even a movie I'm mildly ashamed to say I liked, Ready Player One really only made money because of the Chinese box office.

And the biggest mystery of all: Why black women think styling their hair to look like they have a tumor growing out of their head is in any sense attractive.
 
I’ve read it, and it’s not a bad book but it isn’t God’s work that Tumblr’s making it to be either. But I’m expecting this to be the next Everything, Everything where every teenage girl is gonna sperg about it and then forget it’s existence a month later.

Honeslty the only problem I have is that the main character looks nothing like how I’d picture her. I always assumed she’d look the way she does in the cover:

Colorism is absolutely crazy. Constant screeching over "She too light skin!" and "That bitch white!"

Blacks may complain about whites being racist over skin color. But they do it worse to their own these days. There are blacks who think that unless you need a flashlight to find someone at high noon in the middle of July you ain't black enough. They complain about black actresses not having enough available roles. But sista better be black as deep space or Hollywood might as well have just cast Becky McMayonnaise.

Lipstick Alley is full of threads about colorism and how biracial people aren't black even when there's no way they'd pass for white and how certain people have no right bringing up some topics because they have light skin privilege.

So because of an illustration the character needs to be darker? Hermione's book art shows her as white. That didn't stop her from being cast as a black woman in that play.

The trailer makes it look like the guy didn't do anything. And I assume in the book he is totally innocent. Otherwise the obvious direction of the plot wouldn't work. But reaching for objects when the cops pull you over is a very bad idea. You might as well tape your license to your forehead these days.

If the guy actually did something I'm sure it will be painted in a way that makes you feel some type of sympathy for him.

Was the book inspired by Ferguson? Because Mike Brown is the wrong poster boy for this sort of thing.

Diversity and Comics, who lives/lived in New York, talked about this in his Black Lightning review: cops get very antsy when they can't see your hands, so telling them what you're about to do ("I'm going to get my registration from the glove compartment") is the smart play. For perspective, (:powerlevel:) I live in the middle of nowhere in the midwest, and you can be a little more lax, but still be deferential about it. Of course, places like East Bumblefuck, ID are much safer than places like New York City, NY, so it makes more sense that the cops would be more on edge in the latter than the former. Of course, since most blacks live in places more like NYC than East Bumblefuck... hmm, I wonder if there's any kind of connection here.
:thinking:
 
I'm 99% sure this movies just gonna be BLM propaganda
It’s gonna be one of those “15 Pictures that Will Make You Say ‘Fuck Having Borders and Immigration Laws” things where people use it as evidence to why this is bad and this is good.

I didn’t say she had to look like that, I just pictured her having darker skin.

It’s like how when people read Batman comics they use Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill’s voices when they read their characters

Slight powerlevel:
I used to be twitter friends with Angie, we were pitching books on twitter at around the same time, and got chatting. We used to speak every so often, but then i guess she got too big to be following and responding to random spergs who she doesn't know IRL/aren't famous

I still bought the book when it came out, haven't read it though.
 
Bumping because reviews have begun:

I've read the book. It was meh for me. A lot of the way the girl spoke sounded like a middle-aged mom trying way too hard to relate to her teen kids. Random slang all over the place in a way that got kind of grating. That "How do you do fellow kids?" meme kept popping into my head. It's going to be dated as hell in a few years. But of course, I'm probably just a Nazi for thinking that.
