I'm not saying you're wrong, of course. They never explain it, which I think makes the movie more dramatic.

However, if forced to give my interpretation, I would mention that those who looked at it seemed to smile a little and be drawn in before taking their own lives. I think they had the notion that death lead to such a better place they didn't want to delay getting there.



Reminds me of the episode of Star Trek: TNG titled "The Game"

I lasted about 2 min
The video is absurd, especially the monotone narrator.
The video is wrong.
"littlle advance publicity"????????????
The Mule had tons of promotion. I must have seen the commercial on TV dozens times before the movie came out
The left is not angry at Eastwood
I lean left and will always be an Eastwood fan
After seeing Eastwood talking to a chair, I'll watch his movies and laugh at his politics. I'm sure Spike, Robert and Bale feel the same way


Arlo Guthrie is a conservative
The left still listens to Alice's Restaurant and still loves Arlo

I believe the point was, Eastwood was able to produce and act in a film at 81 years old while being a Trump supporter and make money with talent. Or something to that affect. DeNiro is the left that I'm most familiar with, and his ranting about Trump.

I like the Mule, based on the old white dude smuggling. I also like how Eastwood is so good, he can make a movie like Gran Torino and the public doesn't scream racist at him. PC is ruining how our nations public relates to each other.

I didn’t watch the video but I enjoyed The Mule. One of Clint’s best since Gran Torino.

You 'lean' Left, are you joking? Is that
what you think you do? You're not
'leaning', you've fallen into the Leftie
pit and are so far down the sky isn't
visible anymore. 'Lean Left'.. Good
grief..

I used to listen to Airhead America
a couple time a week just to hear
what loonie things they were saying.
But try and get a Leftie to listen to
Rush and they'll flat out refuse. Not
a chance they'll do it.

The reason is, they're terrified Rush
will win them over with common
sense. He's had 100's of callers in
30 years that say they hated his
guts until they were forced to listen
to him at work, or in a shop, or
somewhere. Now they love him
and can't remember why they were
ever Libtards.

That's hilarious. I get the feeling Scooby Doo wasn't the first to use this same mix though...


I think you are correct as a lot of the Hanna Barbera characters were copied from some film or television series from the 1950s. The Flinstones was obviously based on The HoneyMooners.Scooby Doo is from September 13, 1969.


I looked at lists of horror films, and I couldn't find one that was centered on teenagers.

libtard noun /libˈtärd/
1. an individual, whose thinking process has been rendered impaired by political correctness and the failure to understand that people are responsible for their actions and the world does not owe lazy or stupid people a living.

Personally, I am finding most of this dialogue tedious, but I would have to judge "libtard" as more of a slur than actual hate phrase.

I will enjoy this site more, possibly, with Wizard's new restrictions, but I would just suggest I too do not want to see Michael start becoming a snowflake* over this.

*oops, I honestly and sincerely only thought that word might be banned after I wrote it. I decided to leave it in partly as a test. Is it too vile or not? Do we need a list of banned words?
