Movies

At this point, Girl's Trip being a hit would not be surprising.

I'm hoping for Hitman's Bodyguard to be a hit as well.

V blames Trump for the R-rated comedy bombs Antibody Jul 04, 09:16

Sure, lol. Lots to blame Trump on, this isn't one of them. {nm} -JPV- Jul 04, 09:36

Trump cures cancer, liberal claims Trump forced doctors out of work. {nm} TJNFL1 Jul 04, 11:49

Trump pushes for tax break for the ultra rich at the expense of millions of people who can no longer afford health insurance. TJNFL1 Cheers! BSmurf Jul 04, 12:46

When did he that? You must work for CNN {nm} tteddy286 Jul 04, 20:26

He's in the process of trying to do that. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 05, 04:53

If that were true, wouldn't Hollywood support Trump?? {nm} icecreamman Jul 05, 06:31

If it were false, wouldn't you have an actual, factual comeback, instead of deflecting into an obvious and false straw man distraction? BSmurf Jul 05, 07:04

Don't make it personal like you just did. It was a question. icecreamman Jul 05, 10:15

You're assuming that tax breaks and money is all people care about. Actors, even the ones earning millions per movie, remember when they RogerMore Jul 05, 10:26

I agree with you....and don't touch my guns! {nm} icecreamman Jul 05, 13:53

Making it personal is the perfect way to frame the argument. When you speak in abstracts ("Hollywood...") it implies that everyone BSmurf Jul 05, 12:17

I'm not calling any one person out. You are calling me out. That is personal. Can't you be accepting of me just the way I am?? icecreamman Jul 05, 13:49

I'm sorry if you believe (or have been led (incessantky so...) to believe that Obamacare is ruining you financially. TJNFL1 Jul 05, 15:08

spelling corrections: deductibles and frustration {nm} TJNFL1 Jul 05, 15:20

Bookmarked for future reference should Trumpcare pass. Careful what you wish for. We should all be working towards health cafre BSmurf Jul 05, 15:23

you should probably talk to the insurance companies that refuse to participate in the ACA exchanges, for starters slipping jimmy Jul 05, 15:50

Jimmy, the ACA is just robbery.  You steal / you tax / you fine, whoever does not buy your product, regardless of what anyone wants. TJNFL1 Jul 05, 21:50

Thanks TJNFL1 {nm} icecreamman Jul 05, 15:51

offs. make funnier movies. {nm} CSBD Jul 04, 11:44

Easier to blame others. {nm} -JPV- Jul 04, 13:02

Though it's not really blame, just a post-mortem. It wouldn't surprise me if audience tastes have changed with Obama out and Trump in. RogerMore Jul 04, 16:44

Sniper movies will be a big hit, and The Dead Zone is due for a remake. {nm} fricnfractal Jul 04, 20:08

We could do with another conspiracy so maybe its time for them to remake Manchurian Candidate {nm} albrown Jul 04, 20:38

They already did one with Meryl Streep more or less playing Hillary,... {nm} -JPV- Jul 04, 22:00

I agree tastes may have changed, but it doesn't entirely have to do with Obama/Trump. Jay_Beezy Jul 05, 05:02

Sure, but the article is saying that the concept that makes a successful comedy has changed - adult debauchery movies are out of audience RogerMore Jul 05, 07:59

Folks can see a crap movie a mile away and they aren't going to spend money on them anymore. leo21 Jul 05, 15:57

At this point, Girl's Trip being a hit would not be surprising. Jay_Beezy Jul 05, 19:28
