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, below her covid mask. The second in the head, above her covid mask.

They even have to include a symbolic reference to COVID masks being totally ineffective for protection. This is supposed to keeps us safe from viruses? It can't even stop a couple of 9mm bullets!

Big Gun was really worried that COVID deaths were going to outpace gun deaths in the country during the pandemic

The Notebook on molly isn't anywhere near as sad as conservatives trying to be creative. Fuck's sake.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 6 hours ago

Creativity is the height of Cool, and nobody is less cool than a MAGA. They really are pathetic, made more so by the fact that they actually believe THEY are always the coolest, smartest guys in the room, when EVERYBODY else in the room recognizes them for the complete Putzes they truly are.

They haven't set enough money on fire?

It’s like they’re channeling the ghost of Goebbels with this level of absurd propaganda

Trying and failing. Leonie Riefenstahl created freaking works of art compared to Ben Shapiro creating works of wet fart

It reads like Quenton Tarantino smoked crack with Elon Musk and Pam Blondi before collaborating on it

[–] CedricWhaley@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Quenton Tarantino

I don't see anything related to a foot fetish in the summary.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

At least Goebbels was good at his job

Conservatives have the creativity of 9-year-olds. Which might explain their attraction.

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.

God Awful Movies literally just reviewed the last stupid film

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.

It’s an incredibly dumb and hateful movie worth laughing at

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.

The failed screenwriter to rightwing grifter pipeline is very, very real

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Why do they go from wanting to be artists to wanting to be fascists?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

"I feel like misunderstood artists. I'm right, everyone else is wrong. I will now make a podcast about the woke agenda ruining Hollywood"

Channeling The Birth of a Nation 1915, no doubt.

If people would ignore this dumb shit like it deserves. It wouldn’t be a big deal. They do this shit on purpose.

[–] groucho@retrolemmy.com 15 points 22 hours ago (21 children)

Yeah they've fucked a small town. They took over the block with their only food bank. Their armed guards are scaring people away from getting food. They don't have permits and they're too chicken shit to actually do it in Minnesota. Amplify away. Bullshit is happening and it's affecting people.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

The locals have every right to butcher these fuckwits in my opinion. Fuckem.

That's why they leaked the script, too.

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.

“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.
