Gfiiiiiive, big dikk monay!
why is a Hollywood A lister going on Joe Rogan show?
The word i was looking for is satire..a lost art with the majority of people with a keyboard on social media who have no acess to it in their vocab or in their capacity to see underlying serious themes played out in a format of comedy.You have to be at least somewhat mature and able to see outside your window to process satire,sarcasm and not get butthurt by everything that gets at the holy cows in today's "culture"( one of the most whored out and misused words in the last 10 years imo).The reason a Monty Phyton movie would be burned at the stake in 2020 is that you can now directly influence public opinion by starting echo chambers on Twitter or LSA or Reddit or whatever and have the media do the rest,no accountability,no mature discussion,no context,no growth.just being the loudest mouth in the room while making no effort to progress beyond complaining and bullying anyone with a difference of opinion.Movie wasn't that great but the fact that they at least tried to interject some commentary on real issues going on in Hollywood and perception of race and do it in the form of satire is a win to me..I wish someone had the balls to make a movie and just go in on all that insane PC nonsense,just demolish all the pre concieved notions and hold up a mirror to todays hypocritical society and youth culture worship which imo is the single most devestating thing to a civilisation that has lost it's connection to the natural order of life and fears old age, death and irrelevance above anything else.

Every couple of yrs someone always brings up this role. Not understanding that most ppl love this role and actually get the satirical point the character/ movie is trying to make. It was supposed to be offensive. And not to mention RDJ absolutely smokes the role too. Also it was some Gen.X humor so we definitely get the joke.
