If Obama or some others had done a "You nailed it." in response to a satirical article saying Obama lies about aliens and hates America or something, only the Breitbartiest of sites would jump on it as a sign of how it must be true or he has no respect for his position or the American public. Of course, in this case,

They'd probably find a way to legislate anything like that, a crackdown on women's bodily autonomy even further. …The stupid just keeps feeding the stupid when it comes to politics and the extremes appear to be getting more and more comfortable.

It is a joke if, when you're him, the idea is so absurd as to be laughable. Like when someone calls a tall guy "tiny" and they go "lol sure."

OMFG, someone in a position of "authority" has a sense of humor! Must be pure evil!

"That's dumb, Zack Snyder." - Nobody working on Batman v Superman, apparently

Their memories are wiped by Saw's weird creature that had smuggled itself onto their ship and then they all live happily ever after in a small village on a distant planet, unaware of their previous heroism but secure in their strength as a group?

And if the idea is that immunity from the Purge starts at the upper class level, then you have a whole tonne of Middle Class jobs and people whom replacing would take a year or more of training.

Purge night doesn't remove the hard part for rich people as targets. That's the point.

Why does it matter if you liked the movie when the function of what I'm discussing isn't taking issue with whether you liked it or not?

Yeah…but, if what people claimed about celebrities holds up (again, not that I expressly think it does)…then four years of dealing with celebrities being like "FFS, TRUMP!" in big, potentially-seen-as-overbearing ways…

What's a Green Day?

I don't think they would be 100% chronological.

I know you're pushing for a genre-bend (which I would welcome…although it sounds like potentially better fan-film-fodder than necessarily a fit for the Purge series itself…although I fear that, if the franchise pursued such things, they might try to make a "cinematic universe"…)

The third one makes it clear that they're protected on some level from The Purge "festivities" (and it does so by noting their exclusion…and then getting rid of it so the political protagonist can be targeted). It is a BS copout in terms of the seeming intent of "the law" but it's also exactly what the elite would do.

As they currently stand, both Saw and Sharknado are better.

I might be able to excuse some of that dialogue if the writer and director weren't the same person. As sometimes these things get "lost in translation" from script to screen or things like that. Someone was cast and they don't have the same energy that goes into a line that might be considered hackneyed or stereotyped

I saw the other person questioning it here but I still don't really follow. Manchester By the Sea is "white people problems"? Are they the only people who experience tragedy, divorce, legal guardianship they're uncertain about, social detachment, community unity, etc.?

I don't think celebrities have that much influence politically but some argue that celebrity endorsements ("activists") hurt Hillary in the election (you know, all that "This is why Trump won." junk). I've even seen some say, "If they keep this up, it's another four years."

If you accidentally kill (or steal from or whatever) one of the elite protected (such as a government official level 10 or above in any film not Election Year) then you're still going to jail.

Only the destruction of evidence would be legal by Purge law. The actual fraud wouldn't, even though evidence might be more difficult to come by.
