I am looking forward to Michael Caine's performance in the edited version of - Zulu.

I'm gonna miss "Trading Places"![]()
I love Trading Places too, partly for it's exposure of the racist attitudes of one of the brothers making the bet, Jamie Lee Curtis boobs, and of course Eddie Murphy's timing which is amazing. The thing is it is not banned. It just undermines the legitimacy of real concerns about censorship when people make up stuff to try and justify their own beliefs.
The warnings themselves are arbitrary and make no sense, 'Tropic Thunder' has a warning? WHY? It's a satire of asshole method actors doing blackface and "going full retard" which serious actors have done and faced 0 backlash for.
For example...
Is Sean Penn mentally handicapped? Then why is there no warning label for this movie? What about Rainman? Is Dustin Hoffman mentally handicapped? Why no warning label?
'Trading Places' is a brilliant movie, it's hilarious, and yes one of the brothers is racist but it doesn't need a trigger warning label on it.
How the fuck is 'King Louie' from The Jungle Book racist especially in the cartoon version when he was voiced by Louie fucking Prima?!?!
'Aliens'? Aliens?!?!?!?
The warning labels are fucking dumb
Do I have to be making a point?
I was highlighting the warnings sky were putting on their movies if you read the fucking post.
Did I say you could no longer watch.
Started down a path that will see more films than not needing a warning
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
I read the post but the immediate knee jerk over reaction of most was to assert that everything was being banned. Even you said 'everything has gone to fuck.'
What is really insane is pointing out people being tortured and imprisoned (including British Citizens) for refusing to censor stories etc and being told to shut up you SJW snowflake, and then those same people bursting into tears and stamping their feet over a warning before a bloody film ffs.
What a bunch of soft lads. Seriously lame.
What utter utter bullshit. Literally no one said anything was being banned.
You're outraged over outrage that doesn't exist. You've invented an argument to make an completely redundant point.
If you read anything other than 'these warnings are a bit daft' into the opening post then you got it wrong. Intentionally by the sounds of it.

Here we go. I am not outraged. Why would i be outraged by a load of middle aged blokes wanting to cry into their breakfast? You are full of shit mate.
if you think
"Burn it all down, just fuck everything" El Kabong
"Insane... the world is fucked" Mark TKO
"Movie Massacre" Tittyfan
"This is what happens when you start censoring free speech" Bruce Icke TIC
"I'm gonna miss "Trading Places" - TittyFan
"That may not be book burning, but it is certainly tearing out several pages 'for your own good'. This is a Communist/Fascist slippery slope." - Gladys
are examples of nobody being outraged or saying anything is being banned, then it seems you are the one inventing an argument to make a completely redundant point.
I did not misread Mark's Opening post. I just assume it was a given that most people would agree a lot of the warnings were unnecessary or misguided. I try to think the best of my fellow man but i log on here and it is like a time machine of grumpy old farts from the 70's. Don't tell me that Blazing Saddles and Zulu were brought by Al with perfectly innocent intentions...ha! and then look at the outrage in some of the other replies, both Spicoli and Tittyfan were under the mistaken impression that some of the films were actually banned.
If anything it is funny for me to read El Kabong get on his moral high horse when the bloke would shoot you for using certain words, and has a least a thousand threads with bullet points explaining who and what he would liked banned in mind numbingly boring detail. Gladys the same. Those two are so proud of their anti-wokeness worn as a badge of pride, it makes you worry that they might be seriously dangerous if there was not some issue for them to express counter-outrage over every day.
Yes, not even showing Little Britain which is soft stuff is the same as book burning. It hurts nobody and many more enjoy than are bothered by it. Always give people choice over nannying.
Amazing how threads turn out.
The world is fucked - my opinion. And when threads like this go this way thats even more evidence it is.
I'm offended
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
And yet you seemingly get to decide who is outraged? But god forbid anyone accuse you of the same? No one is crying into anything beanz. You invented the whole thing out of sheer arrogance.
You've taken a completely harmless thread and handful of comments and turned it into something it never was, based on a lie.
This, is a lie

Most? was that your issue? Surely you can't read the replies contained and not see that is what was being inferred. It's not court mate, its a forum.
I am personally judged to be outraged and angry in every post that i make (So much so, even you fall for it.) so i can uinderstand why one should not jump to those conclusion.
But don't pretend that all these fellas quotes were just invented. That is literally what they said in order to either express their outrage, or the fact that they thought films were being banned.
So you have people saying 'I'm going to miss this film' and 'are any of these films actually banned?' and you are now pretending that i made it up?
You are just employing the very pendantry you are accusing me of.
I am not going to say 'Take a chill pill you furious outraged angry mad bastard' because that would be utter and complete bollocks but it is what you are doing now.
Are you seriously telling me you did not think any outrage was implied from GlamRolf and El Kabong comparing it to buck burning and claiming like Vivien Leigh "Burn it all down, just fuck everything"
You could hardly express outrage any more succinctly.
They should be on the stage.
