Rules for Movies & TV Discussion

  1. Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.

  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

  3. On Star Trek Sunday only posts discussing how we might achieve space communism are permitted. Non-Star Trek related content will be removed and you will be temporarily banned until the following Sunday.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

I'm all for immediately jumping on this, but why is it all horror movies? We have an opportunity to showcase exactly why we should be allowing these properties to enter the public domain.

My wild guess is that's exactly why. If I was a giant business on the scale if Disney, I'd secretly get somene to make these movies as terrible as possible to spread the idea that public domain = low quality, and convince ppl that me owning the copyright is what kept them from sucking.

I think you're onto something, this sentiment was expressed in the Kotaku (I think) article about the Nazi game.

Paraphrasing but it was like 'If this is the result, why bother releasing any art into the public domain?'

IDK... I hope people don't take that away from all this.

It's ok for art to be disgusting or obscene. Art is expression. It doesn't have to be comfortable.

I don't want a giant corporation controlling how people can express themselves, even if those expressions aren't things I personally enjoy.
