Yeah I can't do eyeballs... looked away but the squishing sounds were still enough to make me highly uncomfortable. I disagree – peeing is faster tan making fire. BUT... if one was already experienced at making fire, that might be a different story. Interesting... if they had some sort of review-busting campaign, it sure ended quickly. I'm looking at some right now that have been up for months. These are bits from reviews posted in July 2018 right after it came out: "Regressive political messages shoved in your face throughout, eg: EVERY 'bad' or 'evil' character being white - often shown with nazi-esque uniform, KKK uniform, black-face w/ red lips versus the 'good' black gangsters in "the hood." "Racist, that's what this film is every white person in the film is bad." "Seemed odd that all the police, soldiers and other gangs who came in to kill the innocents were all white people. Are white people in America really this bad that you have to be portrayed as such?" "With that, I cancelled my ticket and sought a refund. If I wanted to hear how "awful" the President is, I can watch an hour and a half of CNN or MSNBC -- and don't have to pay the 11 dollar admission fee." "There was way too much white-bashing and obvious political commentary on today's society." "This title is a political pile of poop. The drug dealer who deals in his own neighborhood is the good guy. The white KKK members are out against the inner city." "this prequel panders to stereotypes and racial hatred." "for whatever reason the movie makers, or at least DeMarco, thought that it would be a good idea in this day and age to play up racial divisions and not only that, but depicting them in a way that is reminiscent of the KKK and neo-Nazis." "it was borderline rassist having all the bad guys be white and all the others black." View all replies >
