Embrace Hollywood!

The 2019 reboot/sequel of Charlie’s Angels just opened to a catastrophic $8 million, making it the fifth man-hating, woketard franchise to get wiped out at the box office.
 
Angels, which was written and directed by Elizabeth Banks, is not only under-performing expectations by about 50 percent, it got run over by Ford v Ferrari, a movie about real men who throw punches and burn fossil fuels. […]
 
Angels is a failure because it features unappealing actresses who are more interested in lecturing us than showing us a good time. The film’s trailers promised a pretentious feminist lecture full of man-hating… and the sexless movie delivered.

Excellent news.

      1. That is one hell of a book. Mine is nearly worn out. I’m actually a little afraid to see the movie because I know it can’t live up to it.

    1. Yet, despite the rave reviews and fun of the movie, the woke brigade has to trash it……

      Note the author, from Bloomberg. These people are truly sick

      “Opinion: Ford v Ferrari depicts a ‘car guy’ generation best left dead and gone
      During all 152 minutes of the film, men dominate the screen for 98% of the time. And when I say men, I mean white and straight”

    2. ah Kate.
      Kate, Kate, Kate, *you have a way with words* lol !!!!
      charlies angels? nah, more like charlies *angles*.

      like I said to a critic recently, I have sat thru HUNDREDS of lectures, many of which I paid a lot of money to do so.
      I *know* a lecture when I hear it. I DONT wish and WILL NOT be lectured by hollyweird.

  1. At least the girls aren’t tubbies, but they have a hungry lesbian look that I don’t find all that attractive.

    1. Kristen Stewart makes for a very believable lesbian … just saying.

      No, not the “lipstick” type … but the “mean-faced, clipped-hair, angry” type

  2. Hollywood has become a bore. They have only 7 stories that they regurgitate with increasing frequency.

    The actors cant act they just play themselves over and over. If you want to experience actual acting you go to live theater.

  3. Growing up in a socialist country run by communists, this is what the deal was.

    Ruski, sovietsky, made mostly communist propaganda movies.
    You can imagine that even the brainwashing never compelled yer proletariat to go and watch.

    The solution?
    Yeah, as school kids we were regimented and in nice communist units walked over to the neighbourhood theaters to fill the seats and pay the cash to see the glorious communist propaganda.
    When you think about it, not unlike the global warmmongers pushing their propaganda into schools.

    Heh … this is just an early beginning of massive national socialist style of propaganda to come.

    1. Spencer100- Good link. The writer of the article fails to grasp a basic truth- Racing is pretty much a white guy’s sport, for whatever reason. It’s not just NASCAR, whose southern roots always meant it was going to have a bigger white audience. Drag racing in and around Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, or St. Louis never reflected the local demographics. Road racing remains as white as curling, despite it being populated by a more “liberal” crowd.

  4. Even mainstream media critics couldn’t defend this one. 59% on Rotten Tomatoes among the critics (even the 2016 Ghostbusters got 74%).

    I haven’t seen the movie but honestly—Charlie’s Angels was never much more a excuse to have Farrah Fawcett run around half-naked in prime time. Hollywood ran out of good new ideas decades ago, and are quickly running out of ideas worth recycling for audiences too young to remember that they were done better forty years ago.

    1. There were two other “angels”???????

      Farrah, she was THE teenage dream, 1976………………………RIP

    2. anybody take a gander @ Farrah’s b&w playboy portfolio?
      ooooooooh jeez. she was a hottie in her day.
      cancer is a real bastard. I lost my dad, brother, cousin-in-law, aunt-in-law, and very very best friend to its cold hands.

    3. and seeing hawt semi-nakkid farrah was worth it. Butt Ass kanadian got hairy palms from watching that, and now feels guilty

  5. Hollywood just doesn’t get it. If people want to go to church to hear a good sermon they can simply go to church and hear a good sermon. It’s less expensive, there’s some fellowship afterward and, especially if you go to the Seventh Day Adventist, Charismatic or Pentecostal services, the audience is waaaaaaaay more engaged. Can’t remember being bear-hugged repeatedly by a big black mama saying, “Praise the Lord, Honey” at the Cineplex screening of Pride and Prejudice.

    1. And have you SEEN!! what Kanye West has done for church services!!??

      I am stunned, and am marveling at what he’s brought to the Lord’s house. Does God Work in mysterious ways? Trump. now Kanye. Uh, yeah … my powers of understanding are feeble compared to God’s.

      OTOH … Slow Train Coming is still sold in the record store bargain bin

  6. I’ve pretty much given up on modern movies. Dug up the DVD player from the basement and been watching old movies lately when the need to turn off the brain arises.

    I heard the new star wars sucks pretty hard as well…for all the aforementioned reasons re Charlie’s Angel’s.

    1. Rip them to USB/SD Card and get a Micca digital media player (works with HDMI or analog composite output), then store those DVDs away carefully. They’re your precious master copies.

  7. Ford v Ferrari will become a classic drinking game movie: every time you see a foot slamming on the clutch or brake, you take a shot. Every time you see the slow, determined foot on the accelerator, you chug a beer while your buddies make car acceleration noises as loud as they can.

    I guess with Charlie’s Angels you could take a shot every time they say “patriarchy”, but it’s not as much fun.

  8. There needs to be a Retro movie studio, perhaps a entire genre dedicated to things unWoke people actually enjoy watching. Masculine men, pretty women; glamourous clothing; fast cars and planes; brave and proud soldiers; gratuitous violence; sex, drugs, rock and roll Americana; sappy (cis-normative) love stories; non-mocking flyover country stories, etc…include all of the things that would anger the new, woke Puitans.

    Telling stories that are unapologetically fun, politically incorrect, culturally appropriating, proudly UnWoke and casting whomever they damn well please into roles. No virtue signaling, sensitivity screeners, equity requirements and not fearful of the outrage “I’m offended” culture.

    It would piss off both the woke and probably some social conservatives. A studio that considers call-outs, boycotts and protests as a success.

    1. LC, just watch the Spanish channel, Univision. It’s non-stop exactly what you describe. Hell, even the weather lady has it and flouts it! She could be announcing a tornado warning, a hurricane warning and an asteroid strike all at the same time and the male half of the viewership wouldn’t evacuate either because they hadn’t heard a word of it or they were too busy tripping over their tongues.

  9. And don’t miss that new documentary movie on Margaret Atwood that everyone in downtown Toronto is talking about.

  10. As far as I’m concerned in regards to the Angel saga the whole concept long ago jumped the shark. How many times do we need to be beaten with the same story. Hollywood hasn’t had a new and interesting movie idea in years. It’s time for all of us to go to California line up on a spot on the fault line and try to tip that state over into the Pacific.

  11. Midnight’s Edge pointed out that, for a movie specifically aimed at women (per Elizabeth Banks), more women saw Rambo on opening week than Charlie’s Angels.

    Shit movies are shit movies.
