It's more lame gotcha journalism, a controversial movie, crowdfunding participant's girlfriends outlook on life is not news and has nothing to do with the movie.
Anyone seen Sound of Freedom?

Are we really playing gotcha here by trying to say that because he didn't say Qanon by NAME, that his peddling of all the horse**** conspiracies is somehow better and different?
I mean is that what this argument has devolved to at this point?
QAnon didn't stick so now you've got another angle?
Why does a movie about fighting trafficking rustle your jimmies so much?
I don't have another "angle" I posted a story that I saw that's it dude.

How was the movie itself? Have you seen it yet?
Are you confusing me with someone else?

You're the guy whose only contributions are saying 'QAnon by any other name' and 'hey this guy who contributed to crowd funding is terrible.'
Why? Those are odd posts for a thread about a movie exposing sex trafficking, especially if you haven't seen it. I mean we all hate trafficking right? But here you are dogging it with crap thrown against the wall instead of supporting it or seeing it. Just doesn't make a lot of sense. So I was asking if you'd seen it or planned to, rather than assuming your only purpose here was to bad mouth a movie exposing trafficking (which is really terrible and we are all against I'm sure).
Sound of Freedom will soon pass Indiana Jones 5 in domestic box office.
The dude donated $500 on GoFundMe and was charged as an accessory to child kidnapping because he rented an apartment to a woman who took her own child who she was in a custody battle over.

Important context, original story seems to have been missing some details
Finally saw this in the theater yesterday. Parents tagged along.
Strong message, but of course very tough to watch.
I thought it was good, but my parents shared a sentiment which I thought was an accurate description. Felt over-acted. Not that that matters because it has done very well and people need to see it, but it oftentimes felt like a direct-to-TV film.
Normally I'd recommend waiting for streaming to see this, but this is one of those where tickets need to keep selling to make waves and encourage action.
A family friend rented out a theater and is giving tickets away for the film later this month. Considering their return on investment has easily been 10x+ their budget, I hope they consider putting this on free streaming networks as soon as possible to maximize viewership. Hell, put it on network TV and PBS ASAP.
God's children aren't for sale, period.

But you should trust and listen to us! We are professional journalists!
Professional propagandists!
Just finished Operation Toussaint that's showing on Amazon.
Documentary about Tim Ballard (character SoF is based on) and his fight against trafficking. Solid show!

Finally saw the movie this weekend. Like others have said, hard to watch at times, but a really solid movie.
IMO there really wasn't anything controversial in it. There was no "Left' or 'Right' characters.... it was simply a movie communicating a message. Not everyone has to like it, but I don't really understand how someone could be against this movie...... unless you're ok with the activities that they're highlighting.

As of this weekend, Sound of Freedom's domestic box office ($172.8M) has passed Dial of Destiny ($172.6M)

Kathleen Kennedy has pictures of every big in Hollywood screwing something unimaginably horrible.
Change my mind.
Just got out of the theatre with my wife while my kids enjoy their first day of school this year.
Never have I ever wanted to hug my kids more nor at the same time have I ever wanted to kill those that do evil like this….
Holy crap that was hard to watch but glad I did. Go see it if you haven't!

Rumor is that one condition of Lucas selling Lucasfilm to Disney was that it would be run by his hand picked successor (Kennedy) and she would have a clause in her contract that prevents her from being fired by Disney execs.Squadron7 said:Albatross Necklace said:

Her contract was renewed after initial Star Wars success, but now Disney execs are trying to sideline her until her contract expires.

So, no more Green Lights until she gone.
She also had Nazi midgets. I wouldn't put much stock into that, unless they named names.

Now do Epstein and Harvey Weinstein….

When people say "a famous (yet unnamed) family", then consider me doubtful.

Back in the 80's people were also saying you use your Dungeon's and Dragons books to summon demons. Wouldn't be surprised if Oprah got in on that, too. Do people not remember how trashy those daytime shows were? Springer was just that taken to the max.
Now over $177,000,000.
🚨 NEWS ALERT: Netflix and Amazon Prime JUST TURNED DOWN Sound of Freedom (One of the most popular movies of the year)! THEY DO NOT WANT THE TRUTH ABOUT PEDOWOOD TO COME OUT 🚨 pic.twitter.com/U4ETPcvSPo

Don't want the truth to come out? I thought the movie was going gang busters? You can't simultaneously claim persecution and it be one of the most watched films of the year.
just posting the news. didn't say anything.Macarthur said:

Well, there was certainly some commentary in that "news" tweet.

This seems like a bit of a shallow take. The movie went gangbusters despite not having traditional Hollywood backing in the form of marketing and theatre screens. It was a truly grassroots movement that moved it forward to all those eyeballs.
So no part of you understands how Netflix and Prime passing, despite the movie "going gang busters", doesn't feel like more of the same?
I'm not saying it is but your flippant response didn't seem as cut and dry as you portrayed it.
I actually think the way this was marketed was very good. And it was done deliberately.
And as the other poster said, I'm sure there's more to this than them just saying "Thanks, but no thanks" to something that theoretically would bring them lots of eyeballs. These companies aren't in the business of turning away eyeballs.
I actually find the comment in the tweet claiming "they" don't want you to know the truth quite shallow and insulting personally. Who is they? And they don't want you to see the film that has been playing for months and you can simply go to the theater and buy a ticket to see? That truth?

This is just marketing. The studio has there own streaming platform, I am sure they will just this movie to drive subscriptions unless some one else pays through the nose. Once they maximize $ from subs, they will let one of the big boys host it for a bit. I like how according to that tweet, this movie is an expose on hollywood now.
