I'm so sick of these morons. Whichever side of the political spectrum you lean on, why can't these idiots think for themselves and factcheck their shit?

I'm more sick of the media reporting on some possibly-joking morons "taking to twitter". It's not news, it's a forced narrative
Who the fuck actually believes this shit?

you could ask the same question for 95% of what trump supporters believe in

I'd say the bigger problem is writers putting our own political bullshit into a movie series where it doesn't belong. I don't mean this trump reshoot thing, that's obviously bs, but the fact that JJ Abrams specifically cast minorities in the force awakens simply for the fact that they weren't white, as if some great social justice was accomplished. It doesn't help that the dumbass writer for RO wrote that the empire is a white supremacist organization, which is just false on all accounts. On top of that, kathleen kennedy is purposely casting women in lead roles because "muh feminism", and said just recently that she doesn't need the support of white males, the overwhelming majority of the fanbase.
Yet, star wars is treated as a racist property because it had only a handful of minority actors (there are more white people in hollywood, who knew), and sexist for not having women lead, despite them being written as able and competent characters (an actual "strong female").
It's shit like this that makes me dislike the new movies. Quit cramming current events into movies and just focus on making a good movie.

Mexico would pay for the wall through tariffs, trade deals, and political disincentives. That's what he meant.
Learn what your talking about
i thought they went too far when finn read the entirety of the Black Lives Matter manifesto in the force awakens

Film, like all other forms of media and art in existence, has been used for political reasons basically from its creation. Don't be daft. See: German Expressionism, or even straight propaganda like Battleship Potemkin, etc. Just because films have political or cultural messages doesn't make them any less interesting or good. Your argument is beyond invalid really. As to the rest of your post, who cares what people wrote articles about whatever, a film's interpretation is entirely between the director's product and each individual viewer. It has literally nothing to do with Joe CinemaSins and Jane MovieBlogger if you don't want it to. All that is is you having a bias and being upset because someone else has different opinions than you in their interpretation of thing and is voicing them.
If you really want a film history lesson on political and social influence I can probably reconstruct the about eight or nine hours of film lectures I've had on that topic just on films between like 1903 and 1940 alone, or I could spare you that and you could take it at face value.
I wasn't going to see it, I might now.

hahahaha
sorry but that narrative doesn't need to be pushed

Unless the presence of minorities somehow ruined the movie for you, there is no reason to give a shit [i]why[/i] they were cast. If they did ruin the movie for you then that's a problem with you, not Abrams.

Oh no, I'm not complaining about the actors themselves, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac ended up being the best part of the movie. I'm specifically referring to JJ's "you see the whitest fucking room" bit, which shows that they were specifically cast for the sole purpose of having a diverse cast, as if to make a political statement, of which Star Wars has never been about.
New Star Wars is definitely a little nutty

But being this triggered over it is silly, it's just a movie.
They would be flipping out if the left was boycotting something made to appeal to them.
