Retired cops in the Villages planning protest of Quentin Tarantino's new film after his comments calling police 'murderers' - Orlando Sentinel


Well, I will still go as it takes a lot more than one man or woman to make a movie. This is like boycotting a concert because the conductor is an @#$%^. Or not going to a public library because the Library Director is a crook.

The Hateful Eight opens here in the Villages but just at the Rialto Theater as far as I know. What are they going to do ask people what movie they are going to see and then argue with them about not seeing it?

I have a deep respect for law enforcement even if I did cross swords with some of them as a Student Attorney at Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners back at the headquarters of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office.

But this sounds to me like the opposite of a chick flick. I don't think I have any testosterone in my body except a drop here or there that makes my eyebrows grow in strange places.

Here is what Roger Ebert says about it. Sounds pretty bloody and full of torture and rape and breaking the rules. Not interested.

Supporting a picket or boycott is absolutely legal. If a group does not like the actions of the director, let them boycott.

Personally, after reading the movie review, I am not going to see it just based on the fact I don't like ultra-violent movies.

[Jima64]

violence, gore and mayhem definitely brings out the movie goer. I'm too much of a lawenforcement supporter to let one director makes some bucks upset me. Information protesters always have my support whether I believe in what they do or not.

Compounding Tarantino's obnoxious views, we now have one of the actors, Samuel L. Jackson, coming out with his own failed hope that the San Bernardino shooters were 'white guys' and not Muslims. Maybe there was a 'stupid' virus on the set.

I'm sure I will not see his movie. He would probably only make .15 on my $15.00 ticket but it's my choice to not put one dime in his pocket. It's not only his movie that I wouldn't patronize but also people like Michael Moore and Sean Penn. I do support your right to go see it or not, it's your money.

A few years ago when I was working as a policeman I was assigned to a security detail that provided protection to a certain Baptist church that travels throughout the US protesting at police and military funerals. It was personally distasteful for me but it was orders from above and the US Supreme Court said it was a lawful protest.

As long as the boycott/protest is lawful you should't have any issues.

As a Student Director at Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners while at the University of Minnesota Law School I had to represent as a Student Attorney two boys who burned down a school library. My passion is libraries so this was very hard for me but I did though my Attorney Supervisor as much as I could for them. I cannot go into any detail even if I remembered them from 1988-1989.

Also I had a stalker Gail P., at the University of Minnesota Library who was researching her case from a U of MN Mathematics Professor for stalking him. I helped her as much as I was supposed to according to my librarianship training but it was difficult when she started harassing my then live-in girlfriend Jennifer V. Still the U of MN Law Library was loath to step on the rights of Gail P.

I do recognize the difficulties of balancing different interests.

Well I'll admit it I am old school and Tarantino's and Jackson's comments make it clear that they praise and support those thugs who bear false witness against all law enforcement. i will not watch this movie even when it finally reaches pay television. I did the same with Jamie Fox and the .....Unchained because he kept saying its so cool I get to kill white guys and in my view he meant it otherwise why would he have placed such an emphasis on this aspect of the movie on SNL He protest too much methinks

Secondly these guys are hypocrites calling for restraint on cops when they promote violence. Calling for gun control when they promote violence mayhem and anarchy. the more i write the more I discover how much I dislike Hollywood types

[manaboutown]

This appears to just be more trash fostered upon the public by twisted Hollywood slime slingers.

He will make much more than .15 cents from your $15 tickets. You might be shocked to know the theater, in the first week, often pays 90-95% of box office to the studio. Theater profits come from the concession stand.

I'll pass on this flick.

All his movies are over the top in Blood and violence. I walked out of the last movie of his I saw. It's blood and gore that adds nothing to the story

I do not see going to this movie as being against the police but for all the other people who have put work into this movie which includes probably a thousand people or more when you think of all the movie theater employees, movie distributors, advertisers, and then the quite large crowd that got the thing onto film and that includes many people you never see in the film.

And I do not believe that people should be penalized like this for speaking their mind like Quentin Tarantino has done.

I will probably just buy some advance tickets to The Hateful Eight or go somewhere else as to avoid all the drama of this boycott.

As to violence in movies I have never seen a close casual connection made with respect to this violence and ACTIONS done by people with hatred in their minds and hearts and/or mental illness. Some of the great works of literature are very violent like The Iliad, The Bible, many Shakespeare plays, etc.

[circletrack]

They may have some trouble doing it on the square won't they? How long was "The Wall" protest allowed to go on for?
