I wonder how long until this stuff creeps up, realizes he's propping up liars and statutory rapists, and deletes his account?

This all seems odd, when he's basically in the middle of selling / promoting a film about a great achievement which was done by men.

And I mean men, very little involvement in higher levels by females in the Apollo program. It was the 60's women were secretarys and housewives.

Trying to push his SJW cred perhaps?

i dont understand why even make a movie about the US going to the moon if you dont want to focus on the US making it to the moon. like who is their audience? the left hates america and thinks space travel is pointless. the right loves america and thinks space travel and the moon landing is awesome. so basically this choad made a movie nobody wants to see.

Australian film. The Dish

Thedish.jpg


About how a few guys manning a big radio telescope in a small town, pointed it at the moon so that the world could watch the landing on live TV. We know what our role was, we get it and are okay with that.

That's the film, that's what it's about . . . and it's a damn good film.

of course you would be, and nobody leaves you out. if it wasnt for the Aussies we wouldnt even have any moon footage. some dumbfuck at NASA here tossed it all in the garbage.

“the internet never forgets”

I have to admit, as a Canadian, this whole thing pisses me. Americans went there, planted a flag, ON THE FUCKING MOON.

This isn’t a flag in butt fuck nowhere, it’s the goddamned Moon for fucks sake.

That flag is still there, though bleached white from radiation.

Will be pirating this movie and probably reseeding it too.

Might watch it, probably not.

"That's not the Neil Armstrong I knew". - Chuck Yeager

Hmm, wonder who I believe?

How is it porn is the only movie industry that doesn't let politics and ideology fuck up a good revenue stream?

So after reading that, yeah, fuck this movie. I may be a Gosling fanboi, but no. I don't mind a little over glorification or dramatization of the scenario, but there's significance to the accuracy of a nation, of the world, seeing that flag planted, it just happened to be the fuckin stars and stripes. The boot impression, one giant leap, and the flag being shown on televisions across the world. That's the money shot. The development, testing, math, resources, utilization of Soviet rockets, astronaut training montage, all that, is everything that happens in the background that the movie should portray, but leaving off the results is a swift kick in the blue balls. And complete bullshit.

this is just more evidence of the left Trying to destroying our heroes. first they spread a bunch of unprovable rumors about Columbus, then they smeared Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, then Thomas Edison, then they completely lied by saying Washington DC was built by slaves, Now they made Neil Armstrong a globalist. these motherfuckers need to be stopped.

This is why you don't hedge your bets by virtue signaling to the mob. Because in a culture war, the victims of the hysterical mob always become hardened--they are pretty much through being soft or forgiving to the hysteria, so if they see you do that they will cut you off. However, the mob itself will literally eat its own to find its next target, it can only exist as long as that hysteria is fueled. So no matter what your art or statement runs a risk of angering it, but if there is any actual substance to it that goes against the mobs wishes? You're fucked. These guys burn people for delusion, give them something they genuinely hate--like masculine, stoic men whose strength and flaw is emotional control, or American exceptionalism? And they will attack regardless how hard you virtue signal.

I've said it before...but most people who have been killed within hysterical mobs, from Chinese struggle sessions, to heretic execution, to treason hunts--have almost always died while expressing their profound loyalty to the beliefs they are supposedly being killed for. Its best to rob this cult of its power by NOT bending toward it, and currying favor with the people who are already fighting. If this dip shit was smart, he'd be making PR rounds saying "America, Fuck Yeah...And fuck anyone trying to shit on everything America has given to the world". He'd have done 1000% better than trying to hedge his bets.

poor ryan gosling, tries to please the REEEs by saying the movie isn't jingoistic and loses the conservative crowd, movie gets hit by accusations of being right wing anyways and loses the left wing crowd

movie looks like its gonna perform poorly, predictions right now are
  • Venom (4,250 theaters) - $30.5 M
  • A Star is Born (3,708 theaters) - $30.0 M
  • First Man (3,640 theaters) - $21.0 M
  • Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (3,521 theaters) - $16.0 M
  • Smallfoot (3,606 theaters) - $9.1 M
  • Bad Times At The El Royale (2,808 theaters) - $9.0 M

So both Venom and star is born, each a week old, is gonna beat it by a lot

That's not a great number but this type of film usually doesn't have giant opening weekends (the BOM comparison to Captain Phillips and Argo seem apt). I have to think the studio will probably be disappointed not to hit closer to $30M, though, given the much more well-known historical figures and events.

The studio really can't say shit after they bungled it's promotion. These guys have been making films for over a hundred years. They should know who the fuck they are making these films for.

LOL

Step 1: Make movie about landing on the moon, heck ya!
Step 2: Left Libtards bitch about HISTORY ACCURACY
Step 3: Change or omit historically accurate and YUGE aspect of the moon landing, the entire space race and it was AMERICA that got there first, national pride FLAG ON THE MOON
Step 4: That enrages "right wing" and those who enjoy accuracy, loose viewers and alienate population
Step 5: Left Libtards still bitch because THE HISTORICAL SETTING of the film, when a HUGE HISTORIC EVENT for AMERICA and the human race happend...was a time seen merely as "conservative" - so they still reject the film.
Step 6: No one watches your stupid move.
