Please, your decision not to watch movies these days based on wokeness happened well before the pandemic no doubt and has no bearing on this film or discussion. Yeah people have come in here saying Hollywood is shit but you are the only one blabbering on about China and wokeness. This film has nothing to do with China and John David Washington is the only correlation this film has with "wokeness" that I can think of and I asked a question. The fact that you got so offended and worked up about it instead of just answering the question tells a lot.
And I am not shitting up the thread, the topic has been about "Hollywood should die" and I have been arguing that point and explaining why Hollywood shouldn't die.
Discussing things with you is exhausting, in part because of your desperation to defend corporations at all costs, even if they're promoting paedophilia, in part because of your mind-reading, in part because of your poor reading comprehension and in part because of your dishonesty in desperately seeking a gotcha to get those evil right winger nazis.
First up, you seem to think you have a gotcha. Nope. I already stated that I don't want to go to the cinema because there's fuck all that's any good, and because that poor experience is competing with a large collection of classics I can watch at home. There's real joy in working through these classics, discovering gems I never would have known about. My wife and I every Saturday night alternate who gets to choose, and we look for suitable films to enjoy. In recent weeks I've enjoyed some wonderful films from the 30s and 40s - Hitchcock in particular is a real gem. When my choice is between these cinematic greats or the latest superhero crap or twee indie pet-spoon bullshit, I'm going to pass on those. Top Gun interests me, Dune interests me, Tenet does not. You have decided that you can read my mind and determine that it is because there's a black guy in it. Honestly if you hadn't told me I'd not even remember. I saw trailers a while back and was sufficiently disinterested that they have faded from my memory entirely. Inception sent me to sleep, so I have no outstanding interest in the director.
On the other hand, Charlie Kaufman has released something I'm very interested to see. He's a genius - his previous film Anomalisa is one of my all-time favourite films. I'm also digging into Korean cinema after Parasite wowed me at the cinema and Oldboy wowed me at home. My local cinemas aren't showing anything so I guess I'll have to watch those at home. In terms of recent-ish films I've enjoyed I'd have to add Three Billboards, but you probably think I'm racist for liking that given it has too many white people in it. On the other hand it has a female lead so maybe I'd get woke points for that? Who knows. The point here though is that I like what I like, that doesn't make me racist, I just have tastes in film that are presently not served by Hollywood.
Back to your post - you are fucking incapable of reading it seems. How many times have I got to explain that I was not particularly discussing this film but addressing the wider conversation going on about people going or not going to the cinema? Do I have to put it in 50 fucking point font? As for getting offended... well you got me there, I mean it's utterly unreasonable to be offended by some cunt calling me a racist. You're a bit like those BLM/Antifa people who get in people's faces and spit vitriol at them and then act surprised when they get a punch.
As for answering a question.. I mean you seem to have buried the question so deep within "you're racist" that I can barely see it.
At this point I'm done with you. You defend paedophilia (see the Cuties thread), and you accuse me of racism based on mind-reading, or perhaps the age-old "everyone who disagrees with me is racist" metric, who the fuck knows. Clearly a productive conversation is not possible. I will not be responding to any further posts from you.
