Every movie made since about 2019-2020 is too woke for me. About the time they started changing male super hero’s into female ones. 110 lb women beating up 200 lb guys. Ya right. Too much CGI also, makes them look like cartoons. Not worth the time.
I don't have a problem with super heroes being strong and female. That's the point of super powers; exceeding reality to become powerful.
That's fine.
What isn't fine is that they turn it into man hating circle jerking, which I can say since half of them are trannies at any given time anyway.
What isn't fine is when they race or sex swap an established character.
What isn't fine is when they redefine the entire character to make their goals as villains more palatable for people so scared of being uncomfortable that they can't handle a villain being a villain.
What isn't fine is making a movie full of one liners that have the depth of someone who read something on Reddit and thought it was a funny way to attack a group of people and support their agendas.
What isn't fine is asserting real life social issues into movies that they have no reason to be in.
What can I say?
Then there's Ripley...
For me a great example of this is Gridiron Gang. TRUE STORY....real, living, 21st century guy. White, male Juvenile Detention Warden in CA. Made a movie about him and Dwayne Johnson played him. You mean there isn't another bigger White guy that could have played a football sized guy? This movie wasn't fantasy, based off a novel, comic book, but real life. Hollywood just sucks.
Well said! Did a better job explaining it than I did.
Like a man lifting a car or flying? None of it was believable, all of it is CGI. None of what you said made sense.
Try watching some of the earlier super hero movies. Very little CGI, hadn’t been invented yet. Most scenes have the actual actors in them. The first twoTerminator movies for example. Real stunts, jumping cars and motorcycles. Not fake cartoons. The original Star Wars, a real story, not just fake cartoon CGI. CGI, over done, is boring. No story line, just special effects. Lots and lots of examples. Hollywood is dying for a reason.
I feel like that’s most if not all movies post Avatar (2012) tbh - whether male or female lead
You’re an idiot
Get woke, go broke.
I was watching some new show, White lead characters, then a bit into the first episode we’re off on a Black human interest story and I’m wondering, what the hell does this have to do with the show’s premise? Oh right, it’s the show, “Lessons in Chemistry.”
Along comes this leak from Disney about the requirement to have over 50% of their shows focus on Under Represented Groups—requirements that I believe originate from the Academy or WEF, it’s not just Disney—and it all makes sense.
I hope they all completely run out of money. I’m not pumping another dollar into these companies.
It's the ESG bullshit cooked up by Blackrock. Everything woke done by corpos can be tracked back to that.
Until we find out that "foreign aid" is being re-routed to Hollywood so they can keep up indoctrinating. How else can they stay afloat with flop after flop, only to go and create another flop run by a diversity hire no talent?
They need another Sound of Freedom.
Boo hoo!
Gee, I wonder what happened. /s
Careful what we wish for. There is another much more insidious and malignant front opened up: Netflix. It has the output, reach and influence of all studios combined. Anything with “Netflix Original” is invariably social engineering, gaslighting brain rot, almost without exception. At least Prime did Reacher and allowed Sound of Freedom.
Netflix also coming for the kids. Their latest Cocomelon Lane, for example, a massive reaching show targeted at toddlers, has the “redneck” kid have gay dads who watch him dance around in a tutu type outfit and record it.
That sign would make a nice target practice
lets hope these retard actors get pay cuts
Don't care. They brought it on themselves.
Haven’t been to a movie theater in 15+ years, and can’t imagine I’ll ever go back. Don’t have Netflix or Hulu or any of those. Only occasionally (not even once per month) watch tv, and then only for weather and emergencies. Completely done with Hollywood.
Me too. I moved and still haven't set up my tv, I don't think I will either, don't miss it at all.
I don't watch movies from 2019 onwards. It is beyond bad . Hollywood is epitome of Cabal woke place trying to destroy USA and the world by all means possible. It plays movies destroying the Family , God , and most importantly our kids .
They thought the sheep would follow the stars.
Now do sports
Golly, with all the crap Pedowood is putting out, I see a renaissance on the horizon.
What could that be, you ask? The re-discovery of ... books.
So sad. Boo hoo. 😪
And who writes this shit anyway. The dialog is excruciating. Sounds like it was written by a 20 year old kid that never took an English class. When your witty line includes “No fucks given” I turn it off.
Black women are cast as “The Boss”. (Big Mike?) Immigrants are cast as “Working hard and just trying to make it loving families” or the smartest person in the show. White men are all goofy fucks who have to ask women what to do. 120 pound women can beat up a 200 pound man or 3 at a time.
If you want to see every woke cliche in existence try episode one of “Lone Star 911” Rob Lowe the main characters son is gay and contemplates suicide. A black woman complains about being a black woman in Texas. A Muslim in burka and full make-up jumps off a bridge to save two drowning kafirs whose car went off the bridge into the water.
It was soooo ridiculous I had to watch the entire episode. Ha
Well explained!
Oh no! So anyways ...
People are tired of sexual innuendo in children’s films, the same with adult films: fake, unbelievable violence and stunts, no plots, remakes of once great films to cater to wokeness, sex, and foul language. That is why the Sounds of Silence did so well: an important subject was presented, the film was done in a tasteful way that could even be shown to young children to get a point across, it started people thinking, talking and made them more alert to what is going on around them. Now on July 4, Angel Studios will once again release an important movie about trafficking of children via an agency purporting to help children at taxpayer expense, the Department of Children and Family Services. An agency that places children in foster care after removal from “bad” home situations, forgets about the child once placed and “loses track” of them.
I watch a lot of older movies now!
One movie in recent years (as in last 10 years) I enjoyed was "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus".
It really pounded home the consequences of making a deal with the devil, and the sacrifices you have to make to make up for it.
Also the last movie Heath Ledger acted in.
Edit: nvm, it's from 2009, so more than 10 years ago, lol
Awesome
Hope it plunges to ZERO.
Woke = broke
These people never learn.
The good news is, that most book stores and libraries are still open. Americans used to read books. We need to get back to it.
What are box office sales?
