The Daily Wire Is Shooting a Pro-ICE Movie. We Got the Script.

10 days ago by UnderpantsWeevil to c/nottheonion

Locals aren’t happy about the film’s take on the ICE shooting of Renée Good.

The film, with the working title Pawn Shop, centers on an Antifa siege of a Minneapolis pawn shop amid anti-ICE unrest. On one side: an ICE agent joined by a group of pawn-shop employees and customers. On the other: a rabble of progressive protesters, and eventually a bloodthirsty MS-13 death squad, both intent on rescuing a Hispanic man detained by ICE. It plays out exactly how you’d expect it would.

The film’s first minutes will likely get the most attention. As Pawn Shop opens, two ICE agents in Minneapolis arrest the Latino man, later revealed to be an MS-13 boss. Dimwitted liberal activists film and scuffle with the agents as they try to take their suspect away.

Then the film’s Renée Good stand-in enters, slamming her Subaru into the ICE van. Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing.

Wrong gimmick. Every third word is the N word for some inexplicable reason.

At one point the movie action gets pretty meta and they start asking why they keep saying the N word.

God Awful Movies literally just reviewed the last stupid film these guys did about pro-Palastinian protesters getting used by Muslim terrorists who take over a school.

It's an incredibly dumb and hateful movie worth laughing at, and I'm sure this one will be too.

Every podcaster jumped on this movie, because it's so easy to tear apart. Idk who else bothered to watch it, outside the die-hard incels that give Ben Shapiro money to hear him speak.

The irony of the movie is that conservatives sympathize with their fantasy Muslim terrorist. The bad guy just stands up and says all the things Benny Johnson and Ben Shapiro actually believe.

No Jewish person ever dies in the movie. No chud dies. Only the Stupid Leftists ever have anything bad happen to them.

Jihadism is like Noah's Flood. It's a divine punishment that only hurts those damned leftists.

Just saw that documentary about Janitors stating Peter Dinklage.

The film is, at its core, about the erasure of invisible labor. A man whose name is never spoken on camera, whose body is disposed of like the waste he handled, whose only tool is a mop.

The mutation, the green skin, the mop-wielding violence, that's subtext. It's the film's way of saying: this is what happens when a janitor is finally seen. The corporate villain, the band, the hostage rescue, the serum, all of it is just the set dressing of a workplace where the person on the floor is the only one who actually keeps things running, and the company's answer to that is a waste pit.

(Just kidding, it's a hilarious gorefest)

Filming hasn’t gone totally quietly in Livingston, Montana, the small town where Pawn Shop is being shot. Locals got their hands on the script, too, and started honking their car horns and attempting other small-scale disruptions to the shoot.

“We want them to know: Don’t come do this shit in our town,” one protester, who asked not to be named for fear of online retaliation, told me.

Always nice to hear about local actions like this.

It won’t with any attitude. Look around, we still have racism, sexism, bigotry… all of these things are called out daily.

Yep it’s always intentional. And all these “liberal/far-left” sites that people think are outing the bullshit are just advertising for them. They always are.

They don’t hide their deceitful rewriting of events. They won’t be embarrassed to have the facts pushed in their faces. The damage is done. The idiots believe it happens the way they are showing it. So why give it more gas?
