Fox Business Criticizes Studio Ghibli's Latest

[PhunkyPhazon]

Protest a film by littering in the theater? Great idea! Making a living nightmare out of the lives of theater attendants is sure to get the attention of that evil liberal Hollywood and their idiotic environmentalist ideas!

Ugh, I am so ashamed to know people who literally watch Fox News 24/7.

It's sort of funny whenever people call fox out for shit like this, they fall back on the idea that fox in of itself is an entertainment channel. Then why do you put fox NEWS on the title of the channel. I wonder the guy saying all of this stuff believes what he's saying.

 

[doomspore98]

SO... MUCH.... STUPID!

How do you guys live in the same country as these idiots and not kill them with rusty spoons?

I feel fucking sorry for you guys.

Because, believe it or not. Quite a bit of the country believes what their saying

 

[Scarecrow]

This really doesn't suprise me at all, and it's not worth even saying anything about, so I'll talk about the wonderful Bagpuss reference. You fight the good fight Bagpuss, we are all behind you!

Whatever. Have fun picking on conservatives for being "frumpy old white men (who are all racist apparently because that's the only reason anyone could not love Obama riiiiiight.)" When the yes-we-can squads in Congress start shitting on video game rights to free speech, guess who's gonna be at the other end, waving the Constitution in their faces? The only reason FOX gets a bad rap is because they're the only news source that dares to not lean left. After awhile CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and the "news" magazines such as Newsweek all melt together into what I can only describe as an echo chamber of opinions. When Bush was in office they all rode the tandem bike of disapproval, and now that Obama's in charge, they either voice support or conveniently ignore all of his missteps and shortcomings. Let's be honest here. Some of the things these news sources report are shamelessly skewed. I'm not saying FOX is innocent, but please, oh please; stop pretending FOX is the only offender. I saw a Newsweek cover the other day that literally said, "Why are Obama's opponents such idiots?" or something to that effect. Seriously? Is this supposed to be balanced? That sounds exactly like something I'd see in a blog post. Is this what we've been reduced to? Think critically, people.

Remember, this is the network that brought out people to criticise Mass Effect's sexual content without having played the game and produces a monthly montage on the Daily Show of times their statements and values mismatch. That Newsweek article, well, it did list the number of things conservatives beleive about Obama that don't match his history, but it also went after liberals that felt he wasn't doing enough. News is allowed to have opinon within it, but Fox has way too well known a track record for passing the opinion as the news, without any real evidence behind it.

Well I don't think the Lorax is trying to push a liberal agenda, I think it's instead talking about an important issue, one that was important back in 1988 and is still important today. I doubt Dr. Suess was trying to brainwash children, just trying to give a good moral, "if you get rid of all the plants, you destroy the ecosystem." It was an eco-friendly message that's all.

I honestly don't see what the fuck fox's problem is...eco-friendly messages have been in kid's movies for years, anybody remember ferngully? And yet people still litter. I don't think anyone has to worry.

All I remember about that film is 1) Tim Curry was in it 2) The Nostalgia Critic reviewed it and 3) It introduced the "Big Lipped Alligator Moment!" pieces to his videos, causing me to call them out in many films today.

Isn't the big lipped alligator moment from All Dogs go to Heaven?

Though he could be talking about Tone Loc as a lizard. That was weird.

It was the first episode it was mentiond in
but it is a refence to ADGTH

Oh, wow.

A Studio Ghibli movie with an environmental message, Fox News? You don't say?

whats wrong with a liberal and green agenda the earth is dying you know

I hate Fox, well and truly I do, but that made me picture you as a stereotypical hippy then laugh.

...

"Dear Fox News...

...Fuck you..."

I want to see Arrietty... I guess I'm a liberal tree-hugger now, right? It never ceases to amaze me how stupid the stuff that comes from Fox can be...

 

[RJ Dalton]

Haven't seen "The Lorax" yet, but I haven't been impressed with anything Dr. Seuss related since that Grinch movie some years ago.
Did see Ariety, though. Not impressed. Characterization was sub-par, the story was bland, Gorgeous animation, but really had nothing else going for it. I mean, I'm the High Priest of the Church of Miyazaki and even I couldn't get into it.

But as to what the hell's this doing on the news, who can say. Also, why are we still reporting the non-news of "Fox puts foot in mouth"?

Edit: I should note that I meant I wasn't impressed with that Grinch movie.

Is the Escapist rebranding as a political website or something?

Why do I care what deep cable Fox Business Network (not Fox News) has to say about a couple movies? That station is so insignificant that clip probably got more views from this article than when it actually aired.

I thought this website was about videogames and nerd culture not bizaro FOX NEW IS TEH DUMB politics. Strange front-page story.

 

[MorganL4]

WTF????? Occu-toddlers? Really???? Okay every time I stop and think that maybe I'm being a little harsh on Fox News and they should be given the benefit of the doubt we get this......this........ garbage I guess is probably the best word for it. I mean what do these guys hate oxygen? Personally I like breathing it allows me to stay alive.

The reason its on here is because The Secret World of Ariety was attacked by Fox News... and Studio Ghibli is a huge name in anime which is key to geek culture nowadays.

 

[Ninedeus]

I take comfort in the fact that many people no longer view Fox news as a valid source of information. You can't even link or reference any article from them anymore without that nagging feeling that whatever they say or write will always be tainted with BS. At the very least it will garner some attention for the film and more people will watch it.

 

[Tipsy Giant]

Anyone know if Arietty is good? I love Ghibli films.

I saw it in the cinema in the UK and was blown away, i've seen every ghibli film and i think this takes the cake for some of it's vast shots filled with incredible detail.....just YES!

They are idiots, have you seen an intelligent republican candidate as their front runner yet?
Obama would destroy them in a debate, he is not perfect by any means, but compared to these morons, jeez I could out smart them
