Thank you so much for posting this! The last thing they want in the prison system is for rich well-educated people to come in there and start telling the truth about the prison system.
andi toja kinda like if James Cameron had stayed with Terminator and Aliens. McTiernan made Hunt For Red October but the next few Jack Ryan films were quite good Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games. Sum of All Fears was good too.
I never was aware of his name just the films. I was driven to him by a tweet that included him on a list of directors that made at least three classic hit films. Stunned to hear his revelation about mass incarceration and racism, the new Jim Crow, a “giant deregistration machine”
Excellent filmmaker who got caught up in the system. He probably should have gotten probation, but I admit I don't know all the facts of his case. I remember reading about Pellicano and when Mctiernan's name came up his it just always felt to me. Hope he gets back to work because he knows how to make quality films. What he's gone through will embitter mostly everyone. Hope he can manage those feelings and stay positive going forward.
We need many more people with monetary clout and a big audience to wake up and get angry. I never understood the war on drugs. Why not a war on pedophiles? Or a war on poverty? A war against starvation? A war against corporate greed? Fuck, we are all ruled by a fleet do assholes.
I want this Predator director John Mctiernan back to direct Predator prequel movies starting with skulls just like Ridley Scott did with the Alien prequel movies and he will continue.
