Offended Culture gone wild... yawn.

Amen.....yawn.

Yeah it's too bad if they're putting money in the pocket of a serial convicted predator.

It would be too bad if people feel their precious comic book movie is being maligned by people pointing that out. I bet there's an ironic overlap of those making it about supposed outrage culture and people who like to express their condemnation of Roman Polanski and anyone else who is seen as a Polanski apologists.

It is listed on there. I missed it. That was before we knew he was a pervert. `

reply

That was before we knew he was a pervert.


Well, does that matter today? Can you find the Cosby show on anywhere? All of that show was done before we knew.

reply

The Cosby Show is on Amazon Prime.

reply

Ahh. I knew it got pulled from many syndicated markets.

Thanks

Who the hell would be stupid enough to have one of those???

As long as he get the appropriate punishment according to the law for his crime then it's his right to retrieve the royalties for his works.

reply

It could go to his victims.

reply

I'm surprised it isn't already, tbh.

reply

That song has been used in lots of movies and television shows. Who cares?

reply

not since his conviction.

reply

They are just trying to find any reason to keep people away from this movie. The media seems to like to trash anything that is even slightly controversial. They tried everything they could to keep us from going to Joker, but none of it worked. Seems like the people ignored all of the fear mongering that was going on also.

reply


Amen! The morons in the PC Police will NEVER run out of things to be offended by. Fuck them!

I mention this exact thing in my review of Joker!

Great minds.....

reply

What's new? Surprised there's not outrage over how often he smokes in the film.

reply

Oh, you know that somewhere, some person is fucking pissed about it.
Margfhgr. My Dad smoked for 37 years and died of cancer. Marrgghg. This offends me. What kind of example is the Joker setting for the children? Marhagg. I hope Joaxin Fenix gets cancer up his ass. Marraaghhga...

reply

Song actually felt out of place and lazy. Could have used a better song to set the mood.

reply

The song fit really well.

reply

I agree, I thought there could have been a better song there. I associate that song with sports and Happy Gilmore - it did not fit in my mind.

reply

People still love Polanski... don't be selectively offended just because you are told to.

reply

Exactly.

reply

And Elvis, and Jerry Lee Lewis, and probably about every damn rock star from the 60s, 70s, and 80s....

reply

Except Bon Jovi, he's a good man.

reply

That goes without saying.
