He won't do this, btw, bc he apparently knows where the circle jerk is, and enjoys that.Quote:
I just found it curious that you ranked it your number one reason on the politics board, but only had this comment on the entertainment board, " Woke content and deliberate to the point of insane race swapping is in there somewhere. Rank where you see fit."
I don't know, you tell me. You were the one who changed your ranking based on the board you posted.

I saw the second-to-last Mission Impossible movie in the theater, and there was a family with two small kids who had their iPads out watching something with the volume way up. I went to the front desk, but they wouldn't do anything. Frickin unbelievable how inconsiderate people are these days.

Lol at pointing to total revenue as your point on the health of an industry. It's like my liberal father always talking up California by pointing out GDP. That tells us nothing about how much actual profit is being taken in. On top of that, it doesn't take into account inflation at all.
But let's just point to the stats we like, because it paints a better picture that I feel more comfortable with.
There are very few movies released that I actually care to see. Hell, the movie that's killing it on views is Kpop demon hunters, which did very well in theaters with their Sing a long version. The actual version is still #2 on Netflix and the sing along version is #7. There is still an audience out there for good stories and fresh visions. Also... guess what? No woke or preachiness. It's amazing how well movies that don't preach woke politics do so well...

The only people *****ing about "woke" at this point are conservatives who have built their identity around being "anti-woke." It's pathetic.
Or perhaps they're pissed about the intrusion of politics into entertainment. The theater was once a place where, largely, one could go to get away from whatever real crap is going on in the world. Even for only a couple of hours. But now, you step into a theater and you still see this crap. That is what is pathetic.

You… you think that's new?
Again- name the one movie during the Summer of 2025 where that happened.Quote:
It is not new but what is new is the frequency of this in a wide range of movies. Expect it in a movie like The Crying Game, but not in some animated kid's movie or Star Wars.

So you use the term "frequency".
Then can't mention one single movie.
That would be the exact opposite of frequency.

Star Wars was intended in part as an allegory on Vietnam.

That isn't woke. But a woman kissing another woman is.

The topic is movies, and because you are a circle jerker, the best thing you can come up with is ESPN Radio? Radio isn't movies. (And also, ESPN fired the people they fired because they had been overpaying for years.)
Little Mermaid from 2023, which made $600M, and Disney was quite happy with.
None of that is "woke".

Replacing Dari and Mel with Hammer and Golden is not because Dari and Mel got paid too much.
And sure Disney got money off of Little Mermaid. Doesn't change the fact that they decided to check a box on the casting of the main character.
