Change the world by controlling your money. It is just that simple.

We have the Power: Boycott Hollywood Trash

Look at this:

http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=26657

Hollywood is at it again, pushing sex and violence. They keep making this trash because people go to see it. So boycott Hollywood's trash movies, and instead watch good movies.

I'm tired of the way Hollywood and the video game industry treats women. I swear I'm going to boycott Hollywood's crap.

James Bond movies are big offenders. Even the women in there are referred to as "Bond girls." They don't have individual identities, they are just there for Bond.

Then there are shows like Manswers, that make men look stupid and women look like objects.

Don't get me started on music. I'm looking at you Prince, you anti-woman pig!

Video games like Dead or Alive show women as something to ogle.

F**k you Hollywood for ruining everyone's lives. You won't get another penny of my money. Who wants to join in boycotting Hollywood's filth?

Nobody likes a zealot.

Also, Sin City was great and hopefully the sequel will be more of the same. Glad to see it's finally coming out. That poster's pushing it a tiny bit, but there's more skin exposed on prime time network TV nowadays. Hell, the Julia Louis-Dreyfus cover of Rolling Stone was edgier (And may I just say, "Mrowr", to Ms. Louis-Dreyfus, while I'm at it?). "It's society, man."

Prince is a bit of a wacko, but he's terrific at what he does. Nobody forced Appolonia to strip down to her lingerie and inhale all that cocaine, she signed up for it on her own.

If chicks didn't want to be objectified, they wouldn't be so quick to jump in front of a camera half-dressed in exchange for money. I'm a complete chauvanist, and most of my friends are women. They respect that at least I'm honest. I see no problem with any of the things you mentioned. Nobody's being victimized.

Unless Sin City 2 sucks. That'd be a shame. It's a nice poster, though.

You Sir, are part of the problem. You said yourself you're a chauvanist. Entertainment is not harmless. You're no better than a cigarette smoker who is in denial about the harmful impact of smoking. I encourage you to change, but ultimately it is up to you.

Sure, nobody likes a zealot, but at the same time nobody likes the current state of the world. Don't expect change if you won't change yourself. It is like that song Man in the Mirror. Take a look at yourself and make the change.

A Frank Miller story showcasing sex?

NO WAY!

[The Stryker]

How about you just go away? Don't watch the stuff that offends you so much and shut up?

I do find it amusing that out of all the musicians in the world. The rappers and singers in the limelight nowadays....you go after Prince.

I'm cool with it. I'm having fun with movies and television!

Nice reference to Michael Jackson. That guy never referenced sex or did anything weird ever.

*sigh*

This AGAIN? Just because you don't like seeing Sex and Violence in movies, doesn't mean that Everyone can't see it.

[KirkyMonster]

Seems like they have some valid points and considering you had to read the thread to reply to it I don't see why they should shut up you wanted to know what they had to say when you opened the thread.

I can't understand if you are offended that the poster wasn't used as is or if you are offended by the censorship? Personally I am a little tired of seeing half naked women on advertisements everywhere I go and get tired of being forced to see women in that way whenever I leave the house.

Time and a place for pretty much everything but the constant sex in advertising is like pop up ads to me, you can't help but notice them once they are in front of you and they just keep coming.

[CyberCubed]

Who cares? Are you a soccer Mom?

[Allio]

You know this kind of thinking is worse then "pushing sex or violence." YOU are trying to control; form us, mold us - trying to remove any sense of individuality that we have ... you just want us to be plain and boring

I can respect your opinion, and if you want to spend your money on just the next disney film, then that is all fine and dandy...but don't be going to tell us what we can or cannot do...we are not your children


I will humor you and address many points of your so called "fixing"

Sin City: Have you ever seen the comic, it's loaded with sex and violence, if any of that was taken out of the film it might as well be called "Glory City" and then people will bitch about how it is nothing like the comics

Bond Girls: Unless you have a better idea to classify all the girls that James bond dates - and but bs and say you can name all of the girls by name - then you have no right to say

Dead or Alive: it's called Breast options for a reason...you can have no boobs shake or dead or alive boob shaking (which they go everywhere)..it is still a great game series no matter what


Look, "Ultimate Ninja"

the point is, you are pretty much being a hypocrite...you say you want Hollywood to stop shoving stuff down our throats...you are being a hypocrite by trying to shove down your opinions down our throats...two wrongs do not make a right



Next thing you are going to tell me is that I, as a christian, can not like things like Monster Musume or things like other culture mythologies because "They laugh in the face of God"

[Cure]

Nah, man, I love sex and violence. Just not when it happens to me. Except sex. Sex is cool.

I'd have to agree that it's a problem, first, and I just don't see it that way.

Hooters never hurt nobody. Except those Fem-Bots in the Austin Powers movie. That's the only time.

I don't go out of my way to demean or degrade women, but I don't idealize 'em or put 'em on a pedestal, either. As far as objectifying 'em, you'd better believe it. Some women are like works of art, and should be appreciated as such. Are we "objectifying" a painting when we stare at it for an hour in a museum to let every little detail sink in? Likewise, if Madonna never wanted anyone to ogle her, she wouldn't have gone through the 80s and half the 90s without any pants.

When I'm paying for entertainment, I want to look at good-looking people. That's me and most people. So? Like you said, if people didn't like it, they wouldn't pay for it. Well, they do, and they do. Free market economy plus freedom of choice. Society votes for More Side-Boob. What, democracy only matters when we're picking the President, not when we're collectively deciding how naked people are allowed to get on posters, or something?

I'unno, dude. Pretty sure it's not as big a deal as you're making it out to be. And Prince is awesome.

By Prince, I assume you mean the musician?

You might want to rethink what you said, he is a Jehovah's Witness

Heh.... well all I have to say is, I told you nothing but the truth and now I'm leaving.

[Allio]

^it's funny you actually believe this

[Leo656]

I really wanna go watch the video for "Bat-Dance".

[electric_sheep]

I like sex violence and cursing, **** you! also Sin City is my favorite Comic/movie so double **** you...

[chrisdude]

The thing about voting with your dollars is that you don't have to make a fuss.

[Wildcat]

Everybody should just ignore Ultimate Ninja. He wants you guys to disagree so he can push his views on everyone. Pretty obvious he made this topic on purpose. Also because of how his last topic ended.

How hard is it to ignore people on message boards? You know when someone is just being stupid, trying to start an "I'm right, you're wrong" argument.

[Raven]

I personally don't enjoy overly violent, sex filled movies. But some do, and those do sell well (such as the saying "Sex sells"). So until hollywood producers all get saved, with holding your money wont change much.
