Seeking to provoke conversation from fallacy to devalue the opinions of others and take away from the intended purpose of the thread author is a troll tactic most people are well aware of by now, and your repetition of such play has become well understood since IMDb V.2 was launched some years ago. With that said, you could even share an article where the film's star Jim Caviezel says cashews are the seeds of the Devil due to their shape, and it wouldn't have any effect on how people see the Sound of Freedom picture. The movie is still doing pretty impressive numbers especially given that it hasn't even been released internationally, while other releases are underperforming, like the latest Indiana Jones which may be Disney's biggest financial loss this year it looks like.
Like I said, I was genuinely surprised the teens/college students ahead of me in line were going to see Sound of Freedom, I had assumed, wrong thankfully, that they were there to see Dial of Destiny. And it halfway kills me to say that, it halfway kills me there's a new Indiana Jones movie showing right at our theater and I'm not seeing it, but I refuse to support crap. There are so many things they COULD have done with Indiana Jones, if they wanted to do this de-age CGI stuff, why didn't they have him and Count Dracula fighting over the same ancient holy relic? Temple of Doom was originally supposed to be a haunted castle, who wouldn't have loved to see that? They could've done that, hell, Dracula's castle could still have big boulders trying to kill Indy, they could've had the place booby trapped. They could've done something actually FUN to send it off.
Is this...is this a joke? You wanted Indy to fight Dracula?

Don't feel like watch a video, but I presume it's an that California trafficking bill that was temporarily blocked by Democrats. The reasons they were hesitant to vote for it (not that I think you really want to know) was a) vague language that some feared could lead to victims being prosecuted along with their abusers, and b) the bill didn't seem to differentiate between violent and nonviolent crimes, leading to fears of long prison sentences for nonviolent crimes, which costs the state money that taxpayers have to pay for, which leads to people like you whining about taxes.
Why *shouldn't* people get long prison sentences for trafficking children for sex slavery? We've already established the getaway driver will also go down for murder like the rest of a gang that kills people during an armed robbery, it should be no different here, you traffic children you KNOW they're going to be victims of continuous violent crimes. No 8 year old ever says 'mommy mommy I wanna be gang banged every night!'
The point is moot. The bill has been passed.

That would've been so much weirder than all the shit he's witnessed firsthand in the other 3 movies? A guy who doesn't believe in hocus pocus and makes this statement AFTER the Temple of Doom timeline?

All the IMDB user reviews for Sound of Freedom are 10/10 which does seem rather extreme. There may be a 7/10 to balance it out.
Isn't it a remake of Temple of Doom? Guy rescues exploited kids.

I was surprised by it beating Indiana Jones, but even more than it beat Mission: Impossible, I wonder if it could knock down either Oppenheimer or Barbie in the coming days.

If they don't have to pay for it. Even then, there seem to be many screenings that are "sold out" bust mostly empty, nudging by many nutjobs complaining that they were alone in their theater, which they think is proof that the "deep state" is trying to sabotage the film.

Applebee's gave away free tickets to Dial of Destiny, tell us again how well that worked out.

The movie was written and filmed before the QAnon community (Of which the film's subject and organization have given some criticism towards) became a thing, actually. It was completed in 2018 but it didn't see release till this year because when Disney bought 20th Century Fox, they shelved it and the producers ended up buying the rights to the picture and tried shopping it around to other distributors and were rejected, Angel Studios finally agreed to release it and did so this summer. Having seen the movie, it is definitely not a QAnon propaganda piece, and not right-wing either (if anything, it is fairly apolitical).

QAnon was founded around 2017, so it did exist at the time this was filmed, although it wasn’t super mainstream yet. It probably wasn’t the intention of the filmmakers when they made it, although QAnon has certainly thrown their support behind it.

I did not claim that QAnon was created after Sound of Freedom was made, I said it didn't become a thing till after it was produced, and what I meant by with "become a thing" was that the film was produced before the community and what is about started to be mainstream. The film began development and the script began being worked on in response to an evening news program that ran a story about Tim Ballard and his organization that the filmmakers saw. The movie isn't QAnon adjacent, and it is pretty apolitical. That a group of people showing support for it doesn't make it so, either. Have you watched the film? What did you think?

In any case, I can acknowledge that the filmmakers likely didn’t intend for the movie to mimic any kind of QAnon conspiracies back when they made it. Of course, Jim Caviezel is definitely someone who subscribes to that stuff, but as far as I’m aware, he wasn’t involved in the script.
