Apparently the cinema was showing Blue Story - about gang culture in south east London so we’ll probably get the blame.

Vue have said they won’t show Blue Story in any of their cinemas now, despite the incident having nothing to do with the film or indeed even taking place at a screening of it.

Bizarre decision.

Very.

Many files depict violence and don't get banned. Joker does, even Frozen 2 probably does.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

I wonder what it could be about Blue Story, hey?

Vue are staying that there have been 25 ‘significant incidents’ at 16 locations over the past 24 hours.

Guess they don’t really have a choice but to pull it.

Go on say it. You think the decision to pull it is racist.
That appears to be what you are hinting at.
If thats what you think have the courage to say it.

Nothing of these ‘serious incidents’ reported prior to them having to defend their decision though, nor anything to explain what a serious incident actually is. Odeon are also still showing it with no news of any incidents.

Not convinced - can the film be that uniquely violent that it gets a reaction that no other does?

I don’t think the decision is ‘racist’ as such, but I think it feeds a discriminatory narrative, yeah.

Why would that take courage to say?

You seemed to be hinting at it rather than coming out and just saying it which indicates a certain timidity in your conviction.
Anyhow dont you think the companies that have pulled it might just be thinking of the safety of their customers?

I just thought it was fairly obvious what I was getting at.

To some extent, I do, and that’s why I’ve said I don’t think it was a racist decision, but it doesn’t make it correct either - we’ve already seen on this site alone people making the link that it was this film which caused/incited the trouble in Birmingham, and that will now continue to feed the narrative regardless of the reality.

The 2 companies certainly think its the cause.
If they feel that film is attracting groups looking for trouble i dont blame them.
Their business, their perogative i suppose.
Lets see how it plays out.

Well it's pretty discriminatory that you think it's a non black person who made the decision

It’s the type of people and the behaviour the film is attracting to the cinema, pure and simple. No machete fights, the film stays.

If hooligan films had rival firms fighting at the cinema or mafia films had people being shot or necks cut with cheese wire they’d pull those films as well. British clubs were banned from Europe. If people can’t behave and bring danger to the public then don’t complain when privileges are taken away. That’s what should be happening at home anyway.

Bored of hearing people not in agreement with consequences for their actions and laughed when the director complained about his film being pulled. Happy to make money out of his target demographic, who when they can’t behave as he no doubt directs in his film, it hurts him creatively and financially. Well fvck me, how on Earth is he surprised?

This whole scene has a very small audience and doesn’t fit into a civilised society so deal with it, and it being dealt with should be happening more. Again, we aren’t surprised at the event and the response to the pulling of the film.
