Again, excessive blood, violence, etc is not enjoyable for me. I will skip it.

However, I did see Star Wars a few days ago! I liked it. Great action, special effects, and good to see the Wookie again.

I plan to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens soon.

They are giving this movie some press on TOTV anyway and in the Orlando Sentinel. And if they cover it on one of the Orlando news stations-- which seems quite probable-- then that will give the movie even more of a buzz.

One of the best and most violent movies I have ever seen is Saving Private Ryan. I do not remember anyone trying to boycott that. And it probably had the effect of making war look a lot less appealing a outcome for current events back when it came out around 1998. Saving Private Ryan*(1998) - Rotten Tomatoes

How Quentin Tarantino Really Feels About The Police Boycotts Of The Hateful Eight - CINEMABLEND

Some more information about Quentin Tarantino and his feelings about the police. He does admittedly have a big mouth and puts his foot in it but that has seemed the rule of late of others if you watch a lot of news.

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

Funny sounding eyebrows. Thanks for jumping in on this thread GG. I appreciate your input.

He does want people to see The Hateful Eight and many actors/directors/producers make a lot of stops in the publicity tours for these movies. Late night talk shows seem to have a lot of visits from Hollywood people pushing their latest works. Some of these people have less tact and charm than others.

I still like his movies even if they are overly violent and over-the-top. Eli Roth is another of these directors of quite violent movies and I really hated Knock Knock but would not try to stop people from seeing it as that usually backfires. Eli Roth - Rotten Tomatoes

I am not a big fan of much of the work of Eli Roth. His movies make me think of the Saw films. I did find the Saw movies interesting if often horrifying at the same time.

I do not remember anyone boycotting the various Saw movies which were particularly violent.

so muslims are not "white guys"? The bernadino shooters were not black.

I attended the rally this morning, only about 50 people there, I was hoping for more.

I would not spend a dime seeing any of his films. Michael Moore is in the same boat but he never produces a major film. Whenever celebrities get political they end up loosing half their fans!
