Several Native American actors on location for Adam Sandler's upcoming Netflix feature film "The Ridiculous Six" walked off the set due to sexist and racist dialogue in the movie's script. Will you still watch it upon release?

Yes why not?

How "Blazing Saddles" ever made it into the theaters still amazes me. Lord knows it would never in this day and age.

Blazing Saddles was actually worse I think. Gene Wilder is still pretty funny.

My point exactly SSG (ret) William Martin the "N" word is used how many times in that movie? The movie is an essential in any comedy collection - IF - taken as the comedic farce it was intended to be and not a social statement.

I think it is a ginger thing... Chalk it up there with the "red-headed stepchild" issue... :)

I would watch it. Movies with any type of dialog will offend someone somewhere. Race, sex, culture, customs, trends, fads, etc. There is always something in a movie that someone out there will be offended by.
