James Gunn Fired as Director of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'

Best post. Not like these movies aren't all churned out by the same formula-dependent machine.

Same. The movies follow the tired “ omg the 80s was totally awesome” vibe that’s getting boring. Besides I could care less for a couple of z listers . The mcu didn’t really help me like them. They seemed like bottom of the barrel characters to use since they didn’t have the rights to most of the popular characters yet

Agreed. Peter Jackson had the most twisted movie of all time Dead Alive, and he eventually brought the LOTR to cinema.

I'm sitting here thinking, what is this movie Dead Alive?? and some googling tells me it was the movie I know of as "Bad Taste", which yes I watched as a young fella along with Meet The Feebles and Braindead..

Didn't realise it was renamed in the US... … add it to the list of renamed movies like Mad Max 2..

I guess I'm an old man. (I mean, I AM an "old" man cause I just turned 40.) But I have never had to delete an inappropriate tweet because I've never sent a single tweet in my life cause I'm not on twitter.

Maybe human beings aren't required to constantly broadcast their opinions to the universe.

So I guess that makes me a fascist for saying people should mind their own business? Or wait. I'm alt-right cause people SHOULD have the right to say whatever they want, cause free speech. And now I'm anti-fa cause I need to destroy anyone who says something I don't like on the internet?

Rrrrragggghhhhhhhhh.

People have the right but that does not mean a company or a person has to tolerate what they said. If there is no consequences in the world for anything than what is the point? Do not over twist it. I am sure you would love to leave your kids with him for a week after his phedo comments on the internet. Please...

Oh crap, do not ever listen to the song "Last Caress" by the Misfits for your own sanity!!

Please dude...do not twist things okay?

Why the hell would you even write anything that could be used against you on social media? Geez, I have plenty of things I'd like to say to people on my fb, but I'm not so stupid as to actually type it and have it on record.

The funny thing is the guy dug up those Gunn tweets also has made several rape tweets.

Now other celebs and stars are getting their old **** joke tweets dug up by people (never heard of them but Michael Ian Black and Patton Oswalt are getting some heat).

No shock there. He's not trying to be funny, though. And he'll probably get a raise as opposed to getting fired, as professional political provocateurs are encouraged to do this kind of thing. But of course, it's more hypocricy.

These men are disgusting, I mean seriously! Men joking about rape just really disgusts me and I don't understand why you would even post that on social media.

Don’t approve of what he said. Don’t find it funny, at all, just gross. At the same time, they are just words. Words he tweeted years ago. And there’s no doubt in my mind that Disney was aware of this, years ago. This is all just damage control on their part because it’s back in the spotlight now cause of The Daily Caller story. If Gunn had still been making these kinds of statements while in their employ, I could see firing him. That would make it similar to the Roseanne situation. But to fire him now is just spineless, and there’s no doubt in my mind they were aware of this years ago. Having said all that, celebrities would do well to just stay off Twitter. We all think stupid things, sometimes, but not every thought needs to be expressed to the world over the internet and thus made a matter of public record.

I was profoundly drunk last night. I both loved and hated everything.

I don't get it either. I myself take nearly everything as a joke you should see this whatsapp group that i am in. I would never joke abour rape or pedophilia it doesn't even cross my mind to even think about joking about it. I don't get how someone would and that is from someone who jokes around about nearly everytyhing.

I say "FIRE HIM"!

.... And take Brian Singer instead! ...oh, wait...

No, seriously, a guy who jokes about eating babies is a master of black humor! I know, I just had some for dinner!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I'm at a place now where I ****ing despise both the right and the left. Doesn't even have to be the extreme of either. I'm just sick and tired of it all. I long for a time when politics wasn't in everything I see and hear. I'm probably both racist and sexist and every other 'ist' for even saying this. Don't even know what side to be on anymore, my face is so permanently buried in my palm.

I'm right there with you.

There is a fine line what is funny and what is serious sorry. If there is no line than we can joke about anything...killing kids, killing parents, raping mothers, or your mother (Not personal, just an example.), childs, drop bombs on innocent people etc..

People have been making jokes out of all of those these things for decades. "Dead baby" jokes used to be a staple of dirty jokes

The Aristocrats, anyone?

If there is no line than we can joke about anything...killing kids, killing parents, raping mothers, or your mother (Not personal, just an example.), childs, drop bombs on innocent people etc.. There has to be a line because if you give too many rights to people the hole **** will go down and fast. I am sure after his pedhopile tweets you do not want your kids to spend a week with him...and I hope you get my point.

Actually, no, everything can be made fun of. It's the purpose of black humor. Now you don't have to like it, and it's understandable, but then stay out of it. As a great French stand up comedian once said, you can make fun of anything, but not with everyone. The only thing this guy is guilty of, and it will serve as a lesson for him, is the with everyone part. As long as you publish stuff on the dreaded social network, then if the door slams back in your face, don't come and complain, you've laid your own bed. That's why I'll never post anything on Facebook or anything.

Want a sick joke?

A guy is waiting impatiently for the doctor who is examining his wife for stomach pains. Finally, the doctor swings open the door and says:

- Buddy, in nine months, you'll have your hands in diaper and s**t!
- Really, the husband says, she's gonna have a baby?
- Nope! Stomach cancer!

Hope we don’t lose Drax too

Don't worry, Vin Diesel can just play Drax too. God, just typing that was frightening...

 

[SwedishHeat]

The part that's crappy about it is that this is being stirred up by Mike Cernovich who has said even more outlandish things, on a more consistent basis, in the current timeframe. But he doesn't get paid by a company that pretends that it's moralistic, so Gunn loses his job. Meanwhile Cernovich gets to go on being an inflammatory, racist, hate-mongering *******.

These are modern day Nazis stirring up ****, and Disney is caving to it.
