Yue Song is the Tommy Wiseau of new Chinese film; also a piece-of-shit garbage asshole fuck.

what did he do?

[Leatherhead]

I wasn't sure where to ask, this seems as good a spot as any.

Could collateral damage caused by superheroes possibly be good for the economy? Construction jobs, medical jobs, etc.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

They nailed that in Daredevil were they are re building Hell´s Kitchen, and of course, its a great business.

Yeah, except that Daredevil treats Hell's Kitchen like the whole of Manhattan. It's bizarre.

Great, super villain. Enjoy the 17 Thai restaurants and Amy's Bread.

I've decided Zootopia is a really fucked up movie. I couldn't put my finger on why until today (worked out on Facebook of all places.)

Christ, fine, I'LL BITE. Why, Burt? Why is it a really fucked up movie according to Facebook of all places?

So not just a Sandra Bullock cop film?

thanks for asking. I'll tell you why:

Well, you have predators and prey living together in some sort of harmony, but the only way that works is for the predators to voluntarily give up the very thing that makes them predators. Essentially their "humanity" equivalent. Their very nature is evil in the Zootopia universe. They have to become docile and "civilized" like the prey. This would literally kill them unless they subsisted on insects and plant protein, which I doubt they find very fulfilling.

Meanwhile, the prey animals don't have to change or compromise anything. They just get to live in a better world (ie one that suits their own needs at the expense of the predators).

I mean, early drafts went even darker: the predators all had to wear shock collars in case they "acted up", by which I mean that they acted like predators.

Its a fucked up basis for a movie that is built on so many racial metaphors.

[epilogue]

Doesn't the whole thing take place in a zoo, though?

[BurtReynolds]

no. No it does not.

[BurtReynolds]

its a city. Basically New York, but each neighborhood is a different biome.

[BurtReynolds]

you could look at it two different ways, both bad:

1. The predators are white people, in which case they must be ashamed of their "whiteness/predatorness" and selflessly sacrifice for the good of the weaker, more noble prey race (which is a fucked up white liberal racist fantasy).

2: (more likely given the events in the movie) The predators are black, and they can live in harmony with the prey so long as they are kept in check, and suppress their natural urges toward violence.

[epilogue]

no. No it does not.

I'm not sure I have any idea what the movie is. I just assumed because of the title.

Or you could choose not to look at it either way. There doesn't have to be a human parallel.

The shock collars did not test well with focus groups.
