“This film has outdated attitudes” - Paramount disclosure on 80s films

[Budda]

If everything is so outdated and they’re so ashamed of sins of the past, why don’t they pay reparations?

 

[TheDarceKnight]

WWE network does this also

Despite all that shyt I just talked about this disclaimer practice being ridiculous....To be fair...in their case I get it.

WWE in the attitude era had so much fukkery and wild shyt that would fly like a lead balloon in today’s era. All the lingerie matches and the live sex celebrations and Vince dropping the n-word personally on live tv.

WWE was crazy as fukk.

so no one questions anyones man hood in this day and age ok

To be fair to both you and @karim I think it’s just outdated to question someone’s manhood in pop culture by means of associating gay slurs with not being masculine. That’s all. I mean yeah it still happens in real life, and it always will. But it’s like smoking. People will always smoke cigarettes, but people smoking on film and television has mostly gone away (at least outside of indie flicks or projects made my directors with a ton of leverage)

Same with music. F***ot was used all the time in fairly mainstream pop songs 20 years ago. That’ll never happen again. You may hear the word sometimes on some goon rap albums now days, but that’s it.

The kind of gay jokes Eddie was making are rightfully considered offensive nowerdays, so yeah, that humor is outdated. I don't now why people in here have a problem with this. They aren't censoring the movie, they haven't stopped showing it, they just have an announcement at the beginning that says that some of the stuff in there could be considered offensive by todays audience

Hmm most of the recent shows I watch have plenty of smoking, but they're all TV-MA and not family shows

I’m sure you’re right. To be fair I’ve watched less tv the past couple years and I’m more out of the loop there.

I was just watching Die Hard last week and realized that there’s no way a mainstream blockbuster release would ever have the main character/hero damn near chain smoking like John Mcclane was doing.

But I may have spoken out of turn on the cigarettes thing.

Yeah it has definitely changed but not to the extent portrayal of LGBT has.

On The Shield for instance, Vic Mackey called someone a "cumburper", you would never hear that from a show's protagonist today.

Even South Park making fun of trans Athletes was controversial.

 

[TheWraith]

Not getting on you but the term “woke” has nothing to do with realizing what’s right or wrong. It’s just a synonym for the term “knowledge of self”. White liberals and conservatives done took that word and transformed it into something else.

Fam you doing the dude off in living color routine. You know good and dang well what woke means in certain contexts. You talking about what white liberals done did with it when you doing what a white liberal would do with the word yourself. You on some save the whale talk when you know dang well what people mean when they say "woke" in that context smh.

 

[Cave Savage]

Speaking of Paramount Network, they plan on releasing 52 original movies per year.

If even half of them are good, that would be awesome

 

[Michael's Black Son]

I mean, it's definitely dumb as fukk but I told my cousins to watch the Godfather and these bytchass niccaz called me up like "man did you hear what they said about black people? Is there gonna be more of this?".

Soft asses got pulled completely out of the movie because of one sentence spoken by a mobster.

This is for those generations who need to be reminded at every turn that everything is ok and that art cannot physically harm them. A lot of them need the critical thinking to be done for them, or at least they need someone (in this case movie studios) to hold their hands a little bit.

And my cousins definitely think they're on some next level woke shyt

They will piss and shyt themselves if they watch the Sopranos, a show that literally blames 95% of the bad shyt that happens on non existent Black people and that “explanation” is magically accepted.

the 80s

the 80's.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

nobody should be tryna romanticize Italian mobsters lol. The movies are done very well, Goodfellas is maybe the greatest movie ever made. But Tommy ain't a guy you are supposed to like

the 80s

the departed is the 2000s and has way worse dialogue than any movie I can think of in the 80s
