I'm boycotting your movie due to Michael Shannon's comments.
Free speech cuts both ways. He is free to wish others die.....I am free to boycott your movie.
shareYou wouldn't know free speech if it crapped in your mouth.
Get in the urn.

What comments?
share"There's a lot of old people who need to realize they've had a nice life, and it's time for them to move on. Because they're the ones who go out and vote for these assh***s. If you look at the young people, between 18 and 25, if it was up to them Hillary would have been president. No offense to the seniors out there. My mom's a senior citizen. But if you're voting for Trump, it's time for the urn." - Michael Shannon in metro.us November 16, 2016

Wow. That's quite a bold statement. Way to go, Mr Shannon!

love it!
shareThat's pretty cool.
shareC'mon asshole, go for it. We're waiting for you and all your liberal jerkoff pantywaist butt buddies. There are a lot more people on this side than you think. When we get done with you and that jerk Shannon you won't even feel like running home to mommy to have her change your diaper.
shareMan, I loved this dude before, but I ADORE him now.
shareTime to raise the voting age to 25. Grownups don't vote for crooks or commies.
share"old people shouldn't have the right to vote because if it was up to the demographic that would have voted for the person I wanted to win, they would have won"
Wow. A true patriot. So the people who paid the most taxes into the country and contributed the most to its economy, have LESS RIGHT, to see who becomes president. That truly is a disgusting remark to make. I can't believe it. I loved this man in everything he did. What a shame.
Sounds pretty right-on to me. I don't think anyone need to die, but they do need to not vote when they do not realize what is going on in the world.
shareHistorically, 18-25 year olds barely have enough sense to wipe their ass themselves. I was one,so I can attest to that. Real world experience brings knowledge, youth tends to bring idealistic views. We need both perspectives in our country. The fresh but often reactive and uninformed view from our youth,and the experienced wisdom that is unfortunately also not that in touch with modern times view from our elders are two sides of the same coin.
shareYou are correct. When I was 18 I voted for Reagan. Now I see how stupid I was.
share" but they do need to not vote when they do not realize what is going on in the world."
The irony of this statement is unbelievable...
It is the fucking MILLENNIAL!! They are the ones who have no idea what is going on in the world.
That is why they vote for cunts like Hillary and believe everything they see on the mainstream media.
Nothing more sickening than a liberal celebrity who thinks his opinion actually counts for something.
Amen! He's a Libtard douche-bag.
:-)
Are your uses of the words 'libtard' and 'snowflake' in earnest? With the smiley faces I can't tell.
share
Yes. Sorry for the confusion. I always add a smiley face, it's my trademark. It also helps me find my post(s) in a long thread.

You sound like every unoriginal rightist incapable of using data and facts to explain to leftists why, in you're opinion, they're wrong. "Libtard" also, it should go without saying, comes from an outdated, archaic word that insults the developmentally delayed. Why would you use it?
Why would you even engage in this post that has so much less to do with movies than politics? This whole thread is a waste of time. We can go on Facebook for this crap.
Because I'm not PC. Sorry. BTW, sticks and stones... And if you're bored with this thread, go to Facebook as you suggested. And have a great day!

You lead a very privileged life. Your indifference to those who suffer is what's wrong with this country. You're a selfish person who can't positively contribute to society.
share
Ask me if I care what you think. Hint: I don't. Besides your statement is ludicrous. You don't know me and can't possibly judge what I've contributed to society. So why don't you go squat on a fence post?
😎
You write things like this. You have nothing to bring. You're a troll. Nobody's interested in your Libertarian politics. We came here to talk about films.
share
We can talk about anything we want to. If you don't like the conversation, butt out, stupid.

You know that "swl" cant be used as a short form for snowflake (which you are obviously)?

I don't know who is worse, the virtue signalling celebs or the moronic fans who eat up their BS.
share
Shannon is a real douche-bag.
:-)
You do need to know that Hillary was also antigay and for the wall when she ran against Obama. She changed her tune this election to get more votes. Neither candidate was a good choice. Google her you will see her true feelings.
shareI can't believe he said such a thing. What a vile thing to say.
shareSo basically only old people voting for Trump. Would be ironic if his mom voted for Trump. Then he'd probably kill her in her sleep.
shareI see. So Shannon is clearly a fascist. Seems like the allies should start to kll them again.
shareI think Michael Shannon should be more worried about those 18-25 year olds who did vote for Trump. They'll be around another 60 years voting, and not getting any smarter.
share
Shannon is an asshole!
😎
Agree with Shannon and glad he had the balls to say it. Not that HC was a magic bullet of any caliber.
shareI was in agreement with him up until the last sentence. Telling someone it's "time for the urn" because of who they voted for is low.
shareA strange statement for a man in his mid-forties. Sure, he isn't a senior, but he's no spring chicken, either.
Also, Bernie Sanders was far more popular among young voters. It was actually the older Democrats who liked Hillary.
Trump is awful. This election was the last hurrah of the ignorant old white people.
I am white. I am 72. I voted for Hillary, for me the only person running who had the experience and the knowledge to be President, instead of which a clueless clown who holds our country up to ridicule and makes us look untrustworthy was elected by those who demanded nothing of him and ate up his repeated insults against his opponents.
The uninformed who bought into his lies and repeated mudslinging instead of holding him up to scrutiny and demanding an investigation into his qualifications, tax returns (if he had nothing to hide, why should he not want to reveal them), and business dealings that could affect his dealings as president with the countries in which his businesses are located have put the most unqualified person to ever hold the office into the White House .
XD Ever heard of sarcasm? Shannon is no stranger to this.
shareSo you don't like hard sarcasm, but there's truth to what he said. Brexit and Trump's election are proof of that.

I'm not a Trump fan, but I'd take him over Clinton any day. Even though it was pretty idiotic, I thought Michael Shannon's comments were hilarious because I can picture him saying it so easily.
shareHe's a black humor kind of guy, in and out of film XD
share"I'm not a Trump fan, but I'd take him over Clinton any day."
I bet you have very substantial psychological reasons for your position.
