Sky Race Warnings on movies

[walrus]

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

I love that movie it’s played here on turner classics movies which also has some of these editorial announcements on some older movies I saw Zulu a few months ago it hadn’t been touched yet.

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

Lots of things are fucking dumb if you are outraged by a few words before a movie you are a full on fucking broflake. Get over yourself.

As per usual Beanz excuses stupidity.

Just for clarification are these flicks, other than Gone with the Wind on a certain platform, actually going anywhere? Sounds like it’s literally a 2-3 line label to viewers almost like warnings that already exist on movies. Yeh def a little hyper sensitive but there’s a difference between chopping or 86ing them outright and a FYI label.

I mean seriously name any movie in the history of Hollywood and at least 1 line or scene can be highlighted as outdated, offensive or racially ‘whitewashed’. You’d literally have to delete the majority of Westerns from the early Century 30’s through 70’s. How many times did Burt Reynolds depict an Indian ffs. Aliens is a head scratcher. I thought it was for ‘Vazquez’. Ironic though as it spawned one of the most badass characters for a female lead over the movies and stood apart.

Nowhere did i condone or approve your stupidity.


If your idea of censorship is not having the right to demand a private company remove a warning from a product they have paid for the rights to, you probably need to have a little more grit sprinkled in your shoes... softy.
