"The Brave One" Jodie Foster as Bernhard Goetz
RichA
the subway car!!! This looks like Deathwish revisited, but maybe not
quite on the level of that movie, owing to the lower crime rate in New
York today versus 1974. Still, odds are if she does end up doing a
Paul Kersey, (if they want to keep it realistic) lots of blacks and
latinos will meet their end, courtesy of her hand gun.

Foster elevates the material above what should be just your average,
run-of-the-mill, Lifetime movie-of-the-week. I'm kind of looking forward to
it; I've seen some footage not in the trailer and Foster just blows 'em away
(literally and figuratively speaking)

It's got to be loaded with PC to "balance" the obvious fact that shes
offing "minorities".

No doubt. But I'm convinced that despite appearances, the Hollywood
cabal really is motivated more by money than concern for the image of
criminally-oriented minorities though. Hollywood has huge tie-ins with
fast food companies and a disproportionate (compared to the population
of the U.S.) number of fast food "clients" are minorities. Don't want
to upset the McDonald's and Burger Kings by implying most of their
customers are criminals rapists, drug dealers and robbers.

Well, she's married to Naveen Andrews in the film, so that sort of cancels
out the "racism" that comes up later in the film when she starts cleaning up
the streets and the subways.

Of course you did. Someone experiencing their loved ones being
killed--what's not to like?
RichA
I take it then you won't see it? Or will you see it as a stern
"student of film" rather than someone looking to be entertained?
trotsky
There's a pretty good chance I won't see it because of its dyke
ideology. It's as if Jodie Foster said, "Yeah, I'll appear as a hetero
in the film as long as the guy gets killed in the first reel. Then the
ass kicking (with much remorse) can begin."

One of the guys who attacked her (the guy she wants to get her dog
back from) is a white guy. (Sorry to rain on your racist-pig parade
there Rich.)
And, yeah, it looks awesome in a gritty vigilante you-know-how-it's-
gonna-end type of way.

Don't worry, all I have to do is look at the ratio of black to white
in jails and compare to to the general population to know I'm right
and you (P.C. idiot) are wrong. I can't help it if Hollywood is too
cowardly to tell it like it really is.
Auntie Lib
What the fuck does that have to do with Jodie Foster's movie?

You were the one implying that if the movie had only minorities as
criminals it would be racist.
I guess the next question would be: How many white guys in the "Crips
and Bloods" gangs?

You're the one making the racist assertion that the number of nonwhites
who are in prison implies anything about every nonwhite.

It does, and the assertion is not prima facie racist. Last crime statistics
I read claim that non-whites are twice as likely as whites to be victims of
violent crime, and ten times as likely to suffer a crime of property loss ..

It implies a greater propensity on average to crime, which is a FACT.
It's even more apparent in more traditionally gentile countries than
the U.S., like Canada.

That means what exactly?
RichA
Trotsky:
Trot-sky Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[trawt-ski, -
skee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
-adjective
1. not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellect; not
sensitive or observant; dull.
Derek Janssen
2. [v] a) To distract a discussion with red-herrings--such as unrelated
arguments, jokes, sensationalized non-sequitirs, or even pointless
grammar/etiquette correction--as strategic, and usually unsuccessful,
bluff to avoid an apparent lack of subject matter. ("He tried to trotsky
out of the discussion at the last minute with a lame Clinton joke.")
b) To point fingers and hope the surrounding discussion will be
distracted onto orchestrating imagined petty personal rivalries, thus no
longer necessitating informed debate. ("It was clear he had run out of
ideas of his own, and was simply trying to trotsky the other members at
their own throats.")
c) To hope to derail a point that now requires research by splitting
hairs, needlessly defining words, etc. ("If you don't understand what I
mean to begin with, there's no point in endlessly trotskying words back
and forth.")

That she was willing to do a movie with a male love interest who
survives the whole film. Don't take it so seriously.

next, are you? Did Canada's health care pay for your having your balls

Was she out of the closet then, or didn't you catch the word dyke in my
previous post? I'm not sure you know anything about Foster, but at some
point she started appearing publically with her girlfriend(s) and then
there was some turkey baster sex, and then she started "having kids".
As I recall there was quite a bit of time between these things happening
and "Contact".
Otoh, this was all worth it to see Derek stoop low enough to start
snuggling up to "RichA". Instant bulimia.

There is nothing intelligent about resorting to pretending to be
clueless because you refuse to directly reply to an argument.
You'd be better of writing nothing at all.
For those who think saying blacks have a greater propensity to
criminality compared to whites is untrue (I say untrue rather than
racist because the accusation is definitely racist but that doesn't
make it wrong), try this test:
Walk through Orange County carrying an expensive camera.
Now do the same in Compton.

Oh, wait, are you claiming you had an "argument" somewhere in this exchange.

Rich, are you on someone's crack again? What you said in the above
paragraph has NOTHING to do with anything I said above. You need to
apologize to the group for being a beatoff again.
RichA
On your behalf, I apologize to the group.
trotsky
Good. Now, will Canada pay for that brain transplant you so desperately
need? Derek Janssen has one he's not using.
RichA
New brain? How about someone incapable of sticking to a topic for 2
posts?
Would you say you could do with a transplant?
