Cool a Nat Turner film!


Oh that's not good


Oh Jesus

quote:

The Nate Parker trial is being re-examined now because of the public attention on “The Birth of a Nation,” which Fox Searchlight bought for a record $17.5 million out of last January’s Sundance Film Festival. When the movie first screened, it was crowned as an Oscar frontrunner, but the film’s release strategy has come into question in light of the recent allegations. Sources say that the senior executives at Fox Searchlight are monitoring press reports about the case, and are debating whether it is still possible to release the movie with a roadshow that would have Parker traveling to churches and college campuses talking about social injustice, which [was] one of the conditions of the Sundance sale.

quote:

If Searchlight wants to make a profit on the film, it’s critical that “The Birth of a Nation” expand its audience beyond art house crowds. Rival executives estimate that for a film of this nature to be profitable, the studio will need to make $50 million during its domestic run. As part of the terms of the Sundance deal, Searchlight agreed to show “The Birth of a Nation” on 1,500 screens, which makes the movie a major release for the boutique label, a division of Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox.

Following a rapturous debut at the Eccles Theatre in Sundance, bidding on the film heated up before the end credits had even rolled. Several distributors, among them Paramount, Sony, Netflix, The Weinstein Co. and Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios, rushed to make their pitch directly to Parker and his producers. One source told Variety that the scramble to cook up slides to outline the details of their release strategy left them with little time to do any kind of research on Parker’s past. That meant that some of the bidders had no idea he was involved in a criminal trial in college.

Another source added that executives at Searchlight weren’t aware of the allegations at the time that they offered $17.5 million for the film, and only learned about the trial when reports about it started to trickle out on smaller blogs. By then, the ink had already dried on the deal. It did, however, give Searchlight months to figure out possible ways to address the issue when it inevitably became public.

Let us not forget the real victim of this bungled attempt at wokeness: Rupert Murdoch.

wasn't there also a comic something like this but with superman? i am sure superman just flew up and hug the jumper and that was it.

There's a bunch of mostly lovely riffs on it but the original is good. It's super sincere and lacks any subtly like the best superman stuff

Despite the McMahon family being a great example of capitalist vampires profiting of the destruction of human bodies, I kind of find this example adorable.

A Broadway musical with actually currently popular musical styles seems like an obvious thing to do but apparently no one thought of it before.

The fact it allowed people to feel good about their country's historical foundation just by casting people of color in the roles of landed white aristocrats is what allowed it to metastasize into a cultural/political force among parts of the country.

Stuff like favorable cameos by Gingrich and McCain is a damning own goal by Parks and Rec even liberals can probably agree with.

The funniest thing about all the anti-Trump media and celebrity outreach of the past few months is that the only one that seems like it will have any staying power is a loving YG song with a World Star video. The Bloods and Crips put out better political media than the DNC.

The best type of multiculturalism is the one where you just pretend rich slave-owners were actually people of color.

Lin-Manuel being literally thrown into the trash by an actual rapper is pretty :discourse:

Immortal Technique was always a mediocre rapper with good intentions but questionable songs. He also once caused a controversy by complaining about how all his fans are white.

Then Lin-Manuel came around and is basically worse in every respect but made a poo poo ton more money.
