I couldn't care one less lick about this movie.

 

Nate Parker is my choice for a Blue Marvel or a Mr Fantastic flick. I hope something that he didn't do doesn't bring him down all these years later.

Shut down the internet, the internet is cancelled

[filmlover]

So yeah, stick a fork in this. It's going nowhere. Thankfully we have plenty of other options for movies about African Americans (Moonlight, Loving, Fences) this season.

Mr. Fantastic? Pasty middle-aged white guy with stretchy powers. Star of four terrible movies already?

She had a son too?

I really do think we're going down to 6 or 7 nominees for BP this year; this probably tanking puts that theory in a better position.

[The Futurist]

Acts have consequences.

 

And these dipshits never cared.

[RichWS]

That is fucking heartbreaking.

Ugh, couldn't this movie been made by anyone else but these monsters? It actually sounds like a great story.

[Chewy]

Man anyone who can read even one of these articles and come in here and post about wanting Parker to play a comic book character or whatever is really a piece of shit. Hard to believe people can have such a twisted perspective

 

Human beings were destroyed here

[cannastop]

And this is what bad PR will do to you. Nate Parker's career is over, and it's because he tried to bullshit us.

I'm sure there's a great book about this story.  I'll stick with that.

That's why I'm considering watching this movie if it ever gets on Netflix or something. Out of respect for Nat Turner.

Fucking hell.

[filmlover]

And to think there was a massive bidding war for this back at Sundance. I have to imagine studios will begin looking into backgrounds before making deals for now on.

Nat Turner's the subject of the movie, Nate Parker's the monster who made it
