The film, with the working title Pawn Shop, centers on an Antifa siege of a Minneapolis pawn shop amid anti-ICE unrest. On one side: an ICE agent joined by a group of pawn-shop employees and customers. On the other: a rabble of progressive protesters, and eventually a bloodthirsty MS-13 death squad, both intent on rescuing a Hispanic man detained by ICE. It plays out exactly how you’d expect it would.
The film’s first minutes will likely get the most attention. As Pawn Shop opens, two ICE agents in Minneapolis arrest the Latino man, later revealed to be an MS-13 boss. Dimwitted liberal activists film and scuffle with the agents as they try to take their suspect away.
Then the film’s Renée Good stand-in enters, slamming her Subaru into the ICE van. Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing.
The first shot takes the [sic] Melanie in the neck
kirk lol
Filming hasn’t gone totally quietly in Livingston, Montana, the small town where Pawn Shop is being shot. Locals got their hands on the script, too, and started honking their car horns and attempting other small-scale disruptions to the shoot.
“We want them to know: Don’t come do this shit in our town,” one protester, who asked not to be named for fear of online retaliation, told me.
Always nice to hear about local actions like this.
If people would ignore this dumb shit like it deserves. It wouldn’t be a big deal. They do this shit on purpose.
That’s why they leaked the script, too.
Yep it’s always intentional. And all these “liberal/far-left” sites that people think are outing the bullshit are just advertising for them. They always are.
They don’t hide their deceitful rewriting of events. They won’t be embarrassed to have the facts pushed in their faces. The damage is done. The idiots believe it happens the way they are showing it. So why give it more gas?
Every time I see articles like this. I instantly assume that it’s mad to help the far right spread their hatred.
Use it against them.
Why do you think I’m happy to slap fight tankies in the comments of a pro-voting post? Engagement keeps it on the front page.
I don’t bother arguing with those clowns. They never address the issue because they shit all over the discussion and then play victim when you call them out.
It’s a waste of time.
Much like the point isn’t shitting on the movie we’re discussing, the point isn’t to convince the tankie either.
It’s a performance for the third party that’s passively scrolling by.
It also just so happens that tankies will almost always engage, and that puts the content in front of more people. That’s why I would never argue with a tankie on c/latestagecapitalism and similar accelerationist/AstroTurf communities, but will happily do so on c/political memes
Which is why my point is to ignore them. Their performative shit serves no purpose other than to advertise their point. Calling it out only helps spread their dumb shit to other idiots.
Wait, is this the one that Danny Trejo is going to be in?
God I hope he has better sense than that…
Did that guy always suck this bad?
Channeling The Birth of a Nation 1915, no doubt.
Every day they are being told they are going to have to kill their friends and family who disagree with them. They have been told this might happen, by the church since they were born. They are being told this will happen, now by the magat machine.
Everyone would do well to listen to this that is being said to them over and over and over.
God Awful Movies literally just reviewed the last stupid film these guys did about pro-Palastinian protesters getting used by Muslim terrorists who take over a school.
It’s an incredibly dumb and hateful movie worth laughing at, and I’m sure this one will be too.
Apparently it got a copyright strike and they took it down.

Every podcaster jumped on this movie, because it’s so easy to tear apart. Idk who else bothered to watch it, outside the die-hard incels that give Ben Shapiro money to hear him speak.

The irony of the movie is that conservatives sympathize with their fantasy Muslim terrorist. The bad guy just stands up and says all the things Benny Johnson and Ben Shapiro actually believe.
No Jewish person ever dies in the movie. No chud dies. Only the Stupid Leftists ever have anything bad happen to them.
Jihadism is like Noah’s Flood. It’s a divine punishment that only hurts those damned leftists.
Now that you mentioned it, it did just came out. Although at some point you’ll die by contact damage just by listening to too many podcasts reviewing it, haha.
Conservatives have the creativity of 9-year-olds. Which might explain their attraction.
Lol don’t be silly, it was written by llm
It’s like they’re channeling the ghost of Goebbels with this level of absurd propaganda
It reads like Quenton Tarantino smoked crack with Elon Musk and Pam Blondi before collaborating on it
At least Goebbels was good at his job
Trying and failing. Leonie Riefenstahl created freaking works of art compared to Ben Shapiro creating works of wet fart
ben shapiro failed at being a hollywood nepo baby. that’s how bad he is.
The failed screenwriter to rightwing grifter pipeline is very, very real
Like failed musician to christian rock.
“MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent
If they don’t blast the “All Things Considered” music in that scene then they have no sense of comedy.
Ha! That’s genuinely hilarious. I hope you’re a screenwriter.
Lord, I wish. Alas, I am but a humble janitor at a preschool.
Just saw that documentary about Janitors stating Peter Dinklage.
The film is, at its core, about the erasure of invisible labor. A man whose name is never spoken on camera, whose body is disposed of like the waste he handled, whose only tool is a mop.
The mutation, the green skin, the mop-wielding violence, that’s subtext. It’s the film’s way of saying: this is what happens when a janitor is finally seen. The corporate villain, the band, the hostage rescue, the serum, all of it is just the set dressing of a workplace where the person on the floor is the only one who actually keeps things running, and the company’s answer to that is a waste pit.
(Just kidding, it’s a hilarious gorefest)
I saw the old Troma Toxic Avenger years ago. Is the Peter Dinklage one good?
I may have been somewhat inTOXICated myself when watching it, but as a fan of camp / old scifi I found it entertaining, hard to re capture the true raw nonsense of the original, but it’s a modern remake…
Schlock and awe.
So, this time, was it a real head under the tire of a Camaro, or just a different kind of melon?
Okay, so now I must insist.
Insist?
Yes. Go write a screenplay. It’ll be great!
Is Armie Hammer in this one too?
The cannibal?
Depends on who’s running craft services.
This is irrelevant propagandist drivel, as always. Do not give it more attention than it will already receive. You do nothing good by even bringing it up.
