>An outdoor party is later held at the Bates estate, attended by prominent citizens who are supporters of a senator. They are unaware that members of the KKK are also in attendance. Jack's wife, Angela, tries to bring attention to this with her anti-Klan group, but Jack convinces her to leave. He learns the true reason for the party is to get the KKK Grand Wizard and the senator together in a picture, which Bates would then use to blackmail the senator. Jack and Eric team up to disrupt the party. Jack embarrasses the Grand Wizard by causing him to fall into a bowl of chocolate fudge.
what the fuck this movie sounds kino
Back in 1997 there was a pilot made for a prospective cartoon named "Pfish & Chip" directed by Butch Hartman. It actually had not one but two "pilot episodes" air on Cartoon Network's "What a Cartoon! Show" (an anthology series where many of the shorts were pilot episodes for what ended up becoming successful popular series, including Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, etc.).
The concept for the series centered on a comedic depiction of, of all things, New York City's bomb-defusal squad. The show featured the titular Pfish and Chip having comedic showdowns with what were essentially crazed terrorists using explosives against citizens and public infrastructure.
I was thinking about these shorts the other day for some reason and it just really struck me that this is a concept for a cartoon that could never, ever even get pitched today, let along get picked up and made into a series.
Events like the Oklahoma City Bombing or the WTC Bombing had already happened by the point these got made, but I guess they didn't have the same changing cultural impact that later events like Columbine and 9/11 had on the cultural zeitgeist of what is and isn't accepted as an "appropriate topic" for humor in cartoons.
But what was funnier, dumb and dumber or 9/11?
It still baffles me that this statement is true and not a joke.
We unironically live in a time where JK fucking Rowling, queen of the SJW's, is getting cancelled for saying "men do not menstruate".
Oh, man what were they thinking? The politics aside every joke is about a bomb exploding.
Dumb&Dumber is also pretty good depiction of friendship which is really rare in Hollywood. I guess most actors and writers just don't know about friendship and everything has to be about sex.
I miss 90's Cartoon Network.
Pinocchio because he drinks and smokes.
It was racist how there were actual rats in the basement of the Korean store even though they were in New York.
I don't remember any black people in Dick Tracy 1990, but I could be wrong, if they were there they weren't significant.
Movie is unfiltered kino
>dat atmosphere
>dat Warren Beatty
>Pacino hamming it up
>dat kino cinematography and score
>Madonna looking like a 10
>>Madonna looking like a 10
If I was Warren Beatty's missus, I won't even be mad that he was tapping that as long as I get to watch.
it was a better time
lmao i remember those shorts i thought they were pretty funny
Dick Tracy punching people makes me tingles, it was so unabashedly masculine.
That's not the only reason.
The Devil's Advocatae 1997
It was racist that the white Kevin Lomax got the 8 room apartment right away when his black neighbours had to wait 5 years at the firm. It was racist that the black neighbours were evil.
That elevator scene fetishizes Asians
The police arresting a black man for slaughtering a goat in his basement would have resorted in BLM burning down New York, not Kevin's health code violation case.
This scene would be 'transphobic'
Also cancelled because Tim Allen does the voice
Most everything about this, the outcry against that weird joker movie was strange enough, if this came out today the "yikes sweaty" would be too much.
You mean based as fuck

To get away from political shit. Recently saw a Bridge Too Far for the first time, which is odd considering I love old world war 2 films. The scene with all those paratroopers could never be done today. There'd probably be five stuntmen and the rest would all be CGd in.
Big Trouble in Little China, the movie is played straight, events just happen, Jack Burton's as clueless as the audience and nothing is spelled out. If made today they would be ultra sensitive about race and be sickeningly sycophantic towards the Chinese
The gang rape interrupted scene in Serpico 1973, directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Al Pacino as Frank Serpico.
