Movies: Poor Things, Barbie and Oppenheimer are stuck in La La Land

Unless they ripped the Saudis to their faces, this is like doing the Fuhrer's birthday.

For lack of a better thread, I just lost a lot of respect for all the comedians that performed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. Really disappointed. Shane Gillis was on of the bigger acts to turn them down even after they upped their original offer.

There’s a few on the list that aren’t particularly surprising (Gabriel Iglesias and Russell Peters have already done shows there, Kevin Hart, Louis CK, Hannibal Burress, Dave Chapelle are known money whores).

Some like Wayne Brady or Whitney Cummings are disappointing but unsurprising.

Some are genuinely disappointing like Bill Burr.

Pete Davidson is just baffling. Like, I’m sure it’s a lot of money but you’re taking it from the same people who funded the attack that killed your dad. Wonder what his family thinks?

Have gained a lot of respect for Shane Gillis though.

David Cross continues to be awesome as well.

To be clear, he wasn’t invited. But his evisceration of those that did it is great.

Edit: I knew I had seen it somewhere close! Handy posted it in one of the Dump threads.

I believe I posted Cross' comments in another thread.
