It'll be in the Netflix que for us maybe.

That would need to be Disney +.  No future Marvel movies will on Netflix, this movie is being used to help launch the new streaming service.

I would expect you can still get discs, but it is not clear at this time. Streaming will only be available through Disney on properties 2019 and forward.   2018 and earlier will remain on Netflix for an additional 1 or 2 years pending the expiration of an older contract.

He spelled it right the second time but you are correct it is not racism but it sure is discrimination. Affirmative action IS discrimination disguised as seeking equality. When someone less qualified is given a job over someone because of race or gender that is by definition discrimination. When a black person gets into Harvard over an asian person (still a minority) with less college entrance scores that is discrimination acting like equality for diversity sake. That's wrong and so is what she is suggesting. 

Wrong. Different set of guidelines. 

At a strip club I do NOT have to hire someone simply because they are a female. If they weigh 400 lbs or look like the elephant man or have two sets of sexual organs then they fall under a different set of guidelines - what’s called ‘Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications (BFOQ’s).

Performance based operations (like movies) can claim that certain sex’s and ethnicities are central to their production or even NOT. Even in a State like California where voters have gone against Affirmative Action in Public Universities, a performance based project can still specialize in their contracting process.

If someone makes a movie about what it’s like to work in the Gay Bondage Porno Industry and decides to pepper his staff with Gay Bondage Porno... people... that... makes sense.

And no one is being hired who is LESS qualified. There are unions for those productions that’s go tothemarketdownthestreetforsomeCRAZY over something like that. What will happen is, she’ll choose who she feels is best suited for the movie she wants to make. The same as most directors do. 

She’s just been vocal that it’ll include women, minorities and the handicapped in equal parts.

I was not born 7 feet tall. Should I claim that the NBA should be equal and allow me to play as a 5'8" white guy who isn't as good because it is mainly blacks in the league? No.

Not even close to the same thing.

I for one will skip the film. It's already getting rave review from critics and I'm pretty sure it's the BP effect all over. An average imo movie at best given great reviews because of it's diversity. The fact that a lot of them poo poo on all other marvel movies while propping thee two movies up says it all to me. If she is going to play the political game two can play that and I'll sit home. 

Bye. Don’t let the door hit you in the back on the way out.

But how do you define someone's ability when it comes to art?  If I can make 100 widgets in a day, and someone else makes only 50, it can logically be said that I'm more qualified to make widgets.  But what makes a white writer more qualified than a black writer to interview an actress at a press junket for a movie whose protagonist is a young black girl?

Bingo.

I would be shocked if I couldn't rent it on disc, unless they're going to start their own version of Redbox.

I agree I was going to post that, but you beat me to it.

rumor has it she walks up behind Thanos as he sits in repose on his paradise planet, and without even looking at her he sags and says " I was wondering when you were going to show up" :)

Did you make that up, as it's actually really good.
