People are fed up with "woke". A shitload of TV shows and movies are about to become very dated.

They were already dated before they came out of the Hollywood shit machine. None of this shit deserves First Amendment protection. None of it.

    You mean like the heteroligarchs have trampled on mine repeatedly?

    No one has a right to be perverted.

    Then nobody has the right to be anything other than 100% Gay. Everything else is subversion and perversion of the Jewish God’s law. If the Jewish God had wanted men and women to be together, then He would’ve made us the same.

    If only God had made specific statements about homosexual activity. Sadly, He seems to have stayed completely silent on the topic.

    God does give Gay people the right to bash back against the oppressor classes in Leviticus 24:19–21

    There's nothing in that verse about homosexual behavior

    [–]HPFL 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    “Homosexual behavior“ is a homophobic dog whistle. Homosexuality is a sexual orientation. Everything else is a choice. And that part of the Bible gives Gays permission to bash back.

    Well, we were the same until the fall. Read Genesis 2-3 closely, no gender distinctions pop up until the curses for eating the forbidden fruit. In fact the first man would not accept a partner until they were exactly like him.

    And since יהוה is clearly an addition to the original manuscript of this part of the book, it's unclear who the elohim is. His short temper and fits of vengeance certainly don't like the merciful יהוה of chapter 4 who protects murderers.

    They want to get that monkey pox, having pervert orgies.

    [–]HPFL 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Compared to the multiple documented abuses of children by heterosexual adults?

    The constitution is just a piece of paper written by freemasons. It shouldn't be worshipped above basic morality.

    Agree - let the market decide; it will. Example Top Gun: Maverick - Market decided it like that.

      I can barely watch The Boys.

      Even as a lib I can see all the right wing characters are strawmen. Those writers have never met anyone outside their little bubbles their whole lives.

      That describes the majority of garbage Hollywood has pulled out of its collective asshole since the 90s. That was the beginning of a cultural dark age that is still ongoing.

      They are, and Netflix is trying to stave off decline by offering less woke programming. But I don't see WB doing the same. They are not in the same financial predicament. All the major film studios are owned by the same few (((people))) who all push the same propaganda so there is no where else to go. They have a captive market. I don't think they shelved it because it was woke.

      It was probably extremely poorly made because they had too many diversity hires working on it.

      Also shot entirely in Glasgow and you just know they had to tick a box which said "represents the diversity of the local population" to get the tax breaks.

      Did Batgirl have a dingaling?

      I bet Batgirl had a dingaling.

      What will be very interesting to see in a few years as this resistance seems to widen, which will certainly correlate with a lower percentage of impressionables becoming mentally ill, is whether that will lead to discourse with the supporters and groomers of the mentally ill.

      Wait...what the fuck did I just say? By then even saidit will be censoring any post of said facts. I'll be on "fuckit" by then talking about it with 54 people.

      The real victim in this is Brendan Fraser.

      [–]jet199 10 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

      Lol no. He got paid. That's the most important part of acting.

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

      This could have kicked off a big comeback for him. Fraser fell hard and quick out of the limelight.

      [–]Bridgeheadprod 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

      Exactly!

      [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      I was disappointed about that aspect too, but he's doing another movie called Whale, iirc, playing a 600lb man.

      [–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Fraser's career was built upon the fact he was very good at working with CGI and older women like my mum found him attractive in a non threatening way.

      If he wants a comeback he needs to stick to CGI heavy projects and stop dying his hair so he looks like a weirdo.

      He must have fallen hard into a bag of a dozen bagels. He went from being ultra buff to looking like an old Jewish grandpa. What happened?

      $75,000 a month in alimony payments.

      Damn they brought back Micheal Keaton's Batman for this one.

      [–]jet199 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      I'm surprised they don't just sack the directors and reshoot.

      My only thought is that they have decided to take all their comicbook movies in a different direction to this film and so this film would hurt that far more costly set of films.

      Just looking at the pics it does look more like a Batman and Robin type film than the stuff they are doing now.

      Oh no! I wanted to pay a lot of money to watch Woke bullshit.

      Dumb ass Hollywood figuring it out — we won’t pay to watch the bullshit.

      Bat-movies are all trash anyway because holly-weird always does it wrong. rubber suits the actors can't turn their heads in and campy over the top villainy....they should try more of a noir angle, with perhaps John Hamm as an aging Batman on on last mission to find the murderer or whatever....and he doesnt wear a rubber suit, he just wears black mask and cape and tights, like Batman was intended....geezzz

      IIRC, there was a Fantastic Four movie back in the late 1980s-early 1990s (1988-1992, somewhere in there) that was so poorly received by test audiences that it's never been released in ANY format, not even VHS. I wonder if it's still rotting away in a vault somewhere, of if they destroyed all prints-?

      I would watch that FF movie or this Batgirl movie on PPV at $1.99 a shot, just out of pure morbid curiosity : Just how bad is this POS-?

      I'll probably break down and watch that in the near future.

      There is some money to be made there, but then they will be forever remembered in statistics about movie failures. This way they can make it die quietly and be forgotten.

      More like Terrible Four.
