Zoldan wasn't a US citizen, so unlike Laszlo, he didn't have to fear losing citizenship and being extradited. Prosecution for the offenses themselves would've only happened in Hungary, and Laszlo would've only been prosecuted due to his overt anti-communism. Zoldan likely kept a low profile and had nothing to fear from the Hungarian government.
Claiming that it's okay to make cultural jokes and suggesting to others to "go back where they came from" if they don't agree with what you consider decent or funny are two very different things. You still haven't answered my question where you'd want these "LatinX" people to go "back" to, considering they never were in those countries in the first place.
You do realize that if we go far enough down the family tree, *every* US citizen except natives has a "homeland" other than the US? Plaza's homeland is the US, and it would be just as silly to call Donald Trump's homeland Germany as calling Plaza's Puerto Rico. She never lived there and never left, so whoever you're referring to, it cannot be Plaza, and it cannot be Lopez either, who was born in New York.
Also, nowhere did Plaza say that Puerto Rico is "great," so you're clearly strawmanning. One can be proud of the country one's parents come from (this could be part of a concept known as "honoring your family roots," which you surely are in favor of) and still decide to live in the country one has grown up in, yet also feel the need to defend said country against remarks one considers unjust. I struggle to see what is so difficult to grasp here.
Let's say your parents came from Poland, and a work colleague would make derogatory comments about Poland—would you let those fly? Because that's what you're demanding of Plaza here.
I can be a self-described attack helicopter, yet it wouldn't make much sense to refer to me as such if the facts say otherwise. Plaza was born in Delaware, and only her paternal grandfather came from Puerto Rico. She's as much a Puerto Rican as I am an attack helicopter. So, again, I'm asking you: where do you suggest Plaza to go back to? Delaware? Or a country she wasn't even born in, and which is US territory anyway?
Puerto Rico is US territory, and all Puerto Ricans are US citizens. Are you suggesting to US citizens to go back to the US? Thanks for demonstrating your ignorance.
<blockquote>Once Olsen's character got shot through the door they had no choice but to start shooting.</blockquote>
The guardsmen already surrounded the police officers beforehand, so killing them all must've been the plan all along. They *wanted* to shoot even before getting to the trailer. Poorly written movie.
Macy Gray is a weak 6ft, so even in flats she has Efron by close to four inches.
Event Horizon was good. Soldier was brilliant, and arguably his best film. Mortal Kombat was cheesy fun. Everything else can be filed under garbage.
She's 31 years old by now, so no longer able to get by on youthful looks alone, and her acting abilities have always been strictly limited. It's been almost 8 years since she starred in TFA, and she hasn't managed to stand out or leave a lasting impression in any of the roles she's had since. At this point, it's clear that she's no big box office draw, and she's too limited as an actress to have a career in smaller independent movies. Accordingly, I'm not surprised to see SW being her only option.
The people who made this are hacks, that's why.
