    hmmm, not so sure you know the truth here, after all you defended a bad version of goast busters that should have never been made. One that promoted a women’s major role case, that failed at the box office, not even women were interested in supporting seeing it. As a woman! It should never have been made. The original was great, great with the men being in the lead roles. The women’s version ruined a great thing. Same can be said about the women’s version for oceans 11. Just pathetic, again they relied on the #metoo movemen5 to drawin the crowds. Didn’t work. Bad films with bad acting.

    and no Venezuela isn’t a capitalist country,

    Controlling supply lines is the definition of a command economy (socialism), not a market economy (laissez-faire).

    LOL ok whatever you say.

    You're a funny dude when you try to sound serious. Keep posting and never change :D

    Apparently the DOJ has done a couple of good things, so that should outweigh all the bad stuff Barr has done,

    You mean like the way John D. Rockefeller colluded with the railroads to control the oil supply lines and drive his competitors out of business, leading to the Sherman Anti Trust act?
    That kind of socialism?

    Yeah, but the examples have nothing to do with Trump and the IRS fake news thingy.

    why? I don’t think it should have been made. The original was great for its time, this just couldn’t compete! Some things should be left alone. It was a big disappointment and the box office reflected it,

    just like so many remakes, they try to recreate greatness, it can’t be done in film. It is rare when it happens. Sequels more often than not are failures. They rely on the previous for the success.
     
  11. I suppose, but I didn’t think it was god awful and I’m a harsh critic. In my opinion, most movies shouldn’t have been made.

    I sure hope you don’t feel that way about Sinbad: The Battle of the Dark Knights starring Richard Grieco.
     
  13. Of course not. It’s right up there with Solarbabies.

    What is the point of presenting an argument that is opposed to yours? Have you ever changed your opinion as a result of a discussion on here?

    Yes we are slaves to the socialist government who abuses the people and their taxes. Makes us work for nothing and tells the world how great it is. It isn’t what you think. Didn’t you think the university is free? Perfect example. You have to pay for it out of your pocket or get a loan.​

    Exactly.

    The woke left cannot propagate their message by creating an original franchise or series that will captivate a wider audience outside of woke left viewers by itself. So, they take over existing franchisees like Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Star Trek and the Marvel Universe, and inject them with identity politics. Thereby beating the audience over the head with woke politics, rather than write a good story like they are supposed to do in the first place. Classic franchise remakes and sequels usually sell very well because there is almost always a devoted fan base that will pay to see a movie no matter what. This is why it's easier to hijack a franchise than make something original. Film makers tend to forget that their job is to entertain the public, not ram a political narrative down our throats. I, like most people, usually go to the movies, concerts, sporting events to escape from the ugliness of the political world. Yet whenever we seek entertainment to escape that shit, there it is again :(

    Well, except that in Ontario we briefly had free tuition for a large number of students, but the conservative government killed that.

    This is the gameplan of the right: break the government and then complain that it doesn't work well.
