CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens

Some US states have laws against making "terroristic threats", wonder if these qualify?

 

I just couldn't. The whole concept to me was "People watch this shit?!?"

 

We watched it. We felt dirty afterward, but we watched it. Was like watching a dirty discount carnival.

 

I've heard a lot about that thing. I've seen memes and little snippets and I definitely plan to stay away from that dumpster fire.

 

I haven't watched it, but I'm planning on checking it out once I switch back over to Netflix from HBO Max. I saw stuff about it non-stop everywhere I went online after it came out, and it was enough to get me curious.

 

You people wringing your hands over Tiger King are taking it way too seriously. It's a show full of people who were put on this Earth to be laughed at...and act like they're proud of it. This is especially true of Joe Exotic, It's like a circus where the only acts are the freak show and badly trained animals, and the biggest freak is the ringmaster.

I binged it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't care what anybody thinks of me for that.

 

If you got enjoyment out of it, more power to you! My wife and I just don’t watch a lot of TV these days. This was a concept when it started rearing its head, we simply decided to say “Pass.” It just did not look entertaining to either of us. And one can judge content without judging the people watching said content. I’m surprised it’s as popular as it is but I’m sure there have been shows I’ve watched and enjoyed that others think isn’t worth their time. Different tastes and all of that.

 

I saw someone arguing on twitter than CBS not letting other people making Movies/shows (with a direct reference to Axanar) means they have a monopoly on Star Trek.

I don't think that's how that works lol

 

This is also a pretty accurate description of Axanar.

 

Tiger King was a bizarro train wreck and I watched the hell out of it, but it becomes a lot less fun when you learn how much they edited out (lots and lots of Joe Exotic racism) to make it mass market Netflix fare.

 

I wonder if you put Joe Exotic & LFIM in a cell together, who would end up surviving........

 

Next you’ll say apple had monopoly on iPhones and sony has a monopoly on PlayStation.

 

Civilization as we know it.

 

It was amazingly entertaining, no doubt about it, but Joe Exotic, Carol Baskin and Doc Antle are classic con-artists/manipulators. I ended up feeling really badly for the people that they lured into that world.

 

Whoever's jailhouse boyfriend is bigger...

I can't feel sorry for all of them. Carol's second husband and Joe's employee that got her (his, whatever) arm torn off and still has sympathy for Joe are lifers who are perfectly happy to keep their blinders on, so I give no fucks about either of them.
