Trump ally shot in Utah a few minutes ago

I didn't care for the pressure put on Social media from the Biden admin over covid misinformation (or the Hunter Biden laptop debacle), either. Those platforms should have been able to those decisions for themselves without government pressure.

No, you just turned a blind eye and posted zero times about it.
But since this Kimmel thing happened under the Trump admin, you can't stop bringing it up.

Now you're just making bullshit up.

I'll gladly admit that I'm wrong, but I don't remember you ranting about it once.

That is from May of this year.


Notice the " the government being the gatekeepers of mis/disinformation is ridiculous."?

Are the Trumptards going to go back to boycotting Disney

My family never quit.
Disney lost it's way over a decade ago and nothing has changed.

Good for you, G. Gotta admire a man who sticks to his principles, no matter how ill-informed and misguided they may be.

TBH, I stopped paying attention to who and what to boycott shortly after the Exxon Valdez days. I mean, I actively won't listen to Kid Rock, but that's just because his music is terrible, not because he is an insufferable blowhard Trumptard douchebag.

not ill-informed at all.. Disney products suck... they ruined the Star Wars franchise

How are the last 15 years of Disney objectively not garbage? Forget any politics, they're soulless, trivial and inane. Maybe 2 good movies in that run, and the amount of money that is put into the endeavour could probably float a few small nations through economic and military turmoil until 2050. Not to mention, they effectively killed Pixar by trying to branch into 3D themselves, and it's just more commodity swill.

How many billions spent on 'art' that amounts to flashing lights onscreen and no emotion, gravitas or constructive plot?

Let's not even get into the manchild fanservice that is Marvel and Star Wars... You can push back here as a contrarian all you want, but it won't change the fact that these 'films' aren't fit to lubricate a roadside latrine gulch in Mumbai.

Brokeback Bucky is mad they pulled She-Hulk.

there are some disney cartoons that I really like, but they are not the blockbuster shows. BFG is great. I like "Up." There is a show about a mexican family, the title escapes me at the moment, but it's good too. There is a song in it called "We don't talk about Bruno" that comes to mind everytime somebody changes the subject on a question I ask.

Encanto, very good. Was surprised by it, as I've written them off in general. Was a sleeper hit, someone was allowed to put work into it

I could almost say that about any network. With very few exceptions, I haven't seen a show worth watching in at least a decade. I can't remember the last time I looked forward to a movie releasing.

you should watch The Chosen

Maybe, but none match the amount of revenue pissed away like Disney has in the last few years.
It's in the billions.
Not to mention holding the title of worst rated movie of all time with the re-write of Snow White that nobody went to see and grossed $205mill worldwide with only $87mill of that being domestic.
A loss of at least $500mill on that movie alone.

I really enjoy the movie experience, especially on Imax. Every week a look at the movies playing, but rarely find anything that peaks my interest enough to plunk down eighteen dollars for a ticket.

Last week I saw a David Gilmour concert that filmed last year on Imax. I thought the sound would be amazing since it was on Imax.
I was really disappointed. I get better sound on my JBL sound bar at home. And I realize that I am not a big fan of David Gilmour's solo work.

The last movies I saw before that were F1 and Superman. I enjoyed both of those.
