Blah blah Avatar, 3D sucks blue cat people DAE no cultural impact?? Can you remember any character names??

but seriously it was bold as fuck for someone like James Cameron to make something so blatantly anti-US-military at a time when literally the entirety of Hollywood was united in jerking off American imperialism. It was not the least bit subtle and that makes it all the more impressive that Cameron was able to make a pointed takedown of Iraq-era militarism on such a scale.

    I remember that, it's like every five years we get a "black guy movie" and that convinces everyone that there isn't racial discrimination in Hollywood. That said, Red Tails really sucked.

      Oh, it definitely did. It's just annoying that they sometimes cannot hold two ideas in their heads simultaneously, like "Red Tails sucks" and "Hollywood doesn't want to greenlight movies starring black actors"

      or "Sony is milking the angry chud reaction to Ghostbusters 2016" and "There are actually a lot of chuds disproportionately mad about this shitty movie"
