We’re not offended by it. We’re just taking it at it’s word. This film isn’t for us breeders. So...groovy.

If a trailer had a homophobic joke in it, and a gay person was like “Not interested,” that sounds very fair to me? Not that this joke is straight phobic, but it’s a clear statement that the people in this movie think of straight people as some sort of bizarre other. Which... okay? I’ll... be doing something else with…
It’s not about being offended, it seemed to be a clear statement of intent. “This is for a very specific group, they will enjoy it the most, the jokes are targeted for them.” And that’s good! I sincerely hope that group enjoys it. It’s just weird to then be like “why didn’t the general audience hugely support the…
Per Alsup, that PTSD stems from her “exhausting” experience on a set with no mental health coordinators, made worse by being one of only two Black crew members working the series. “I was always being called someone else’s name, the only other Black girl who looked nothing like me, and I learned the names for 300…
Right that is a VERY fucked up thing to say. And blaming straight people is also really dumb. This a movie 100% aimed at the LGBTQ crowd, and the rom com crowd, so why are you blaming straight people for not seeing a movie not aimed at them. That’s like blaming a horror movie not doing well because people who don’t…
Ding. Like, I wasn’t going to see the movie anyway (in addition to my crippling fear of homosexuals, I also just don’t go to romantic comedies in general), but there was a joke in the trailers that basically explicitly said THIS MOVIE ISN’T FOR YOU, GO WATCH SOMETHING ELSE. And I know that the people who make the…
The trailer for this movie has a joke that says:
Shocking that the ‘if you don’t see my movie you’re a homophobic bigot who voted for Trump’ ad campaign isn’t working
The bit that isn’t being said out loud is that - for many people - Billy Eichner is a truly horrendous choice as a lead in a rom com. I’d wager only a minority of the movie-going public know who he is, and only a minority of that minority would willingly shell out money to sit down in a dark room for a couple of hours…
I’m very surprised this article didn’t complain that bigoted people don’t want to see a gay romantic comedy. I mean, I appreciate the plain serious discussion about the subject. But.... there’s certainly going to be a more limited audience for a gay-themed filmed like Bros, no matter how progressive someone may be. I…
I don’t think I ever saw a trailer for Smile—I’m positive I never did—but I think the first trailer I ever saw for Bros was in…I want to say 2015, and since then, it feels like there have been a pretty high number of ads in print, on the radio, on TV, featurettes in theaters, theatrical trailers, you name it (and,…
Future tip for film executives and producers, don’t hire a zero charisma unlikeable actor to be the lead in a rom-com….straight or gay.
“I was never a fan of romcoms because they were always straight and I was never able to see myself in one. Today hit different, and I’m a fan of romcoms now.”
Nothing fair about this. This clown is one of those people who believes everyone who makes more than them is a billionaire.
There are also the small matters of the schedules of Coogler and every other actor, not to mention all of the other cast and crew that earn salaries off these productions and the financial benefits to Atlanta, Boston and Puerto Rico.
Black Panther is literally a mantle that has been handed down for thousands of years.…
Yeah, I’m sad we never got that sequel to The Man From U.N.C.L.E., too.
It should be Cavill. And it should be set in the 60s.

Turns out when you’re a condescending uptight out of touch bitch to everyone around you, including your costars and fans, they stop worshipping at your feet. Who knew?
