Just when you think that Hollywired could sink any lower--they always prove us wrong. One has to wonder where this sick perversion comes from when they come up with a premise of movies like Silent Night, Deadly Night in 1984 about an orphan raised by nuns grows up to be a killer toy-store Santa Claus. The trailer and posters said, "He knows when you've been naughty!" The image of Santa knifing people to death didn't sit too well with the public at the time inflamed the nation. It was really nothing new for these sickos on the left coast with such box office sparklers like New Year's Evil and Prom Night (1980); My Bloody Valentine, Final Exam, Bloody Birthday, Happy Birthday to Me, Hell Night and Home Sweet Home (1981); Tricks or Treats and Honeymoon Horror (1982) and most of all the Friday the 13th series that began in 1980 and then the added installments throughout the decade. I think we're up to Friday the 13th--XXIII by now.
Horror films are nothing new by any stretch of the imagination going back to the silent film days with the original Phantom of the Oprah in the 1925 staring Mary Philbin and Lon Chaney. Then in the 30s and 40s there was a steady stream of Dracula and Frankenstein flicks. Director Alfred Hitchcock made a handsome living out of scaring us with murder mysteries and in 1960 his huge hit Psycho kept people from taking showers for years. However, that theme seemed to run its course for awhile until 1978 with John Carpenter's classic Halloween hit the screen. It had a quality to it that horror fans love--things happened when you least expected and nothing happened when you did expect them and in the whole movie there were only three drops of blood in only one scene. The rest was left to your imagination and shot in silhouette. The sequels didn't follow that rule as they, and others got increasingly "wet" as the term goes in the business meaning more and more bloody.
Ever since, Hollywierd has continued to push the envelope as the dialogue has also become increasingly vulgar. Just about any movie you see today one has to believe that if the "f" word were not in the English language they couldn't write the script. Frankly, the word has lost its impact through overuse and the "s" word isn't far behind and if alien beings zooming by in their flying saucers tuned in to see on their way to Andromeda they would think that "mother" is half a word. So what can those Trump-hating Academy Award winning minds come up with to shock us next? Ready? The Hunt.
You better sit down for this--it's an NBC Universal picture which should give you a clue. It depicts elite privileged vacationers hunting--get set--deplorables for sport. The producers and marketers are actually billing this disgusting trash as a "satire." It follows in the wake of the film about ten years ago depicting the assassination of President George W. Bush, so I'll let you use your vivid imagination on who the "elites" are and who the "deplorables" are. I don't think that "The Blimp" Michael Moore had anything to do with this production but I'm sure he'll be applauding from a front row seat while enjoying a triple bacon cheeseburger when it comes out next month. This piece of garbage (which is an insult to garbage) is disgusting to the core. One actor we're told even walked off the set and violated his contract during the shooting he was so upset over the theme of this latest piece of "art."
How bad is this piece of junk? Even some of the lamestream media personalities are calling it into question while decent people are asking, "who could even come up with such a despicable plot and story line?" ESPN to their credit pulled the trailer from their commercial segments even though it was previously approved. Hollywierd has had no shame for some time now so we really shouldn't be surprised. A movie showing their ilk murdering conservatives is just another day at the office--or on the set. And it's nothing like the movie about the assassination of Barack....oh wait...there never was one. I was thinking of Bill Clin...oops, there wasn't one of those either.
According to a Hollywood trade publication, characters in the film refer to the victims as "deplorables" which is the name the Hildabeast gave us during the 2016 election campaign. The report noted that a character asks, "Did anyone see what our ratf--ker-in-chief just did?" Another character responds, "At least The Hunt's coming up. Nothing better than going out to the Manor and slaughtering a dozen deplorables." Now if you have not seen the marketing campaign this week there's a good reason...those caring souls at Universal told Fox News in a statement: "Out of sensitivity to the attention of the country's recent shooting tragedies, Universal Pictures and the filmmakers of 'The Hunt' have temporarily paused it's marketing campaign and are reviewing materials as we move forward." Hearts of gold!!!
DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffery McCall told Fox News that the movie is "harmful to a culture that surely needs messages of unity and understanding" in the current climate. And we have to agree wholeheartedly when he further stated, "It says something sad about the state of the 'entertainment' industry that this movie ever got conceived and produced. Hollywood clearly thinks it is OK to stereotype so-called deplorables and set them up for a hunt. Thank heavesn some sensible outlets are pulling the promotioal ads." By the way, the movie was originally titled, Red State vs. Blue State. And political satirist Tim Young makes a living by poking fun at topical issues but thinks this crap goes over the line. Young told Fox News, "Why would anyone think it's a great idea to have a movie aobut hunting down someone who doesn't agree with them politically? It's remarkable to me that the left blames Donald Trump's rhetoric for violence, then literally spends millions to normalize the killing of people based on politics."
Well what he says goes for me double. The left--especially Hollywood--talks a blue streak bout how divided the country is and how we need to come together and this is their answer? Go out and murder your neighbors you disagree with politically? Young ads, "This film is sick and shows just how hateful the left has become." This is the 2019 definition of "satire?" It seems that high-level top executives are standing by the picture and have no plans to pull it. Media Research Center's vice president Dan Gainor told Fox News, "This certainly shows Hollywood for that it really is--demented and evil. At a time when journalists try to blame President Trump for ever act of violence in the world, wannabe Tinseltown terrorists are making fantasies about right-wingers."
It's impossible to put into words how disgusting this movie truly is and what's worse how the producers defend it and plan to go ahead with it no matter the protest. These cretins are always speaking out of both sides of their mouths. On on hand they tell us about movies so important they cannot be missed because of how well it will awaken us to an issue that will reveal a problem and help us solve it. But when some citizen(s) copy the movie of this ilk in real life they crawfish out of that philosophy pronto with the old excuse, "It's JUST a movie!" I can remember when a popular TV sitcom in the 80s Murphy Brown staring Candice Bergen who was single and decided to have a baby. Many of us thought at the time--and still do for that matter--she should have waited to get a husband first. Vice President Dan Quayle said as much pointing out what a bad example it set for young women. The media had the proverbial "cow." I can remember comedian David Letterman during his monologue a few days later messaging the vice president, "It's JUST a TV show!"
Interesting isn't it? Talk about a mixed message. On one hand the media gurus tell is how important their work is. They invent awards to give themselves breaking their arms patting themselves on the back presenting them to each other. Yet when some piece of junk like Natural Born Killers starring left-wing loon Woody Harrelson starts of string of copy-cat killings in the real world, the powers-that-be out there will scream at the top of their respective lungs that it was "just a movie" and how could their marvelously creative art work inspire someone to do that? We'll get the same reaction when this filth hits the theaters on September 27th. And just when will theater chains and owners start standing up and refuse to rent such pond scum? I guess about the same time that big clothing/sporting outlets like Dick's, Foot Locker, Kohl's, Penny's and others tell Nike they're dropping their product line for their un-American stand with whats-his-name. I suppose the odds are between slim and none--and "slim" just left town.
