Think how much they will save on set design after this.
Reminds me when they used an authentic gold rush town to film Will Smith’s Wild, Wild West and accidentally burned some of the historic buildings to the ground.
Or when they smashed that priceless guitar in Django 🤣
Honestly, that would be epic.
Too bad the masses will think its in poor taste
Making a movie by taking advantage of a tragedy in which thousands of people lost their homes and some even their lives is in poor taste. Many of these people are vulnerable and don't have a safety net, they won't be able to rebuild their lives after this.
Remember how The Creator got backlash for using footage of the Beirut explosion?
Art transcends boundaries.
So giving them money to use their burned-out land for like, 3 months, is bad? As has always been the case, "poor taste" is exceedingly impractical and negative for society.
Using real footage of people dying really butts up against the practicality line, but why fake an explosion if it's already recorded? Same with the train crash thing in a similar vein.
What if they like put an ad in the newspaper, the people on film who died can write in if they are opposed to it? /S just in case...
What are you talking about? That's not the subject at hand.
Typed from your slave made cellphone from the comfort of your slave sewn clothes... Poor taste indeed.
Youre right, lets throw away all technology and strip naked because people were abused in the making of them! What a stupid gotcha argument.
They aren't slaves they are independent contractors
Tomato tomato. Long as you feel good about your participation in human suffering.
Are you wearing magical guilt free clothing that’s better than ours?
Actually I am i really made the effort to source local and Union made clothing. It was expensive, I have to care for it because I own less pieces. But in the end I didn't buy it and I still don't feel guilty.
Ok so why aren't you evangelizing it? I'd buy such a thing.
Great, very cool. I hope it helped the world in its own way.
Being human isn't zero sum. Even the mighty vegan is guilty of animal death in the way of clearing land for crops and domiciles.
Yeah, I’m vegetarian because it helps, but nothing is 100% perfect. I live in China, so for example for me those special clothes you find would actually be more harmful to the environment having them shipped all the way over here.
Looks around at everything in any store and on Amazon "made in China" laughs. Hey at least recycling turned out to be a lie as well.
So you're not a fan of dark humor. That's fine. I wouldn't make assumptions about people making obvious jokes though, were I you.
Dark humor couples with slave joke 🤔 uh I don't think this is appropriate.
Good, then stop fucking talking to me and block me. Ie get the fuck away from me.
I notice you didn't respond to my question about why you aren't evangelizing your magical ethical clothes.
You failed the reading comprehension check. I said I didn't buy them Chief.
As opposed to what you are doing?
I ain't bitching like a hypocrite.
