Oscars’ woke quota (via Ed Driscoll);
The easiest criterion to meet is apprenticeships for members of underrepresented groups, meaning anyone but straight white non-handicapped males. Welcome to low-paid internships, people of color! I’m sure Hollywood race relations will feel totally chill five years from now, when every java boy and latte girl serving America’s showbiz aristocracy is black. Soon the last surviving copy of “Gone with the Wind” will be locked in a vault accessible only to scholars of racism, but you’ll be able to see Tara re-enacted in Burbank and Culver City.
Got a couple tubs full of DVD’s in the basement. It’s been a decade since i was in a movie theatre. Haven’t seen a movie trailer that sparked my interest in at least 5 years…except the new Death Wish movie…which wasn’t as good as the Bronson ones.
Good luck In China.
Straight, non-pedophilic, conservative Believers are a minority in Hollywood. Does that mean that they won’t be punished by their industry peers anymore?
Hah, I almost kept a straight face through the question. I’m getting better at this “logical thinking presenting to a Prog”.
At least one thing will change for the better when the Chinese finally take over the world.
Hollywood (or whatever replaces it) will never again pretend to care about the Negro question or even acknowledge its existence.
When blacks show up on film at all, it will to advertise how much happier they are under the guidance of their Chinese comrades than under white supremacy.
Of course, their real condition under Chinese rule will make black Americans weep for the good old days of Jim Crow, when they at least got enough to eat, but who will care? Who cares now?
Dark days ahead, no pun intended.
Think about those ‘remakes’ that may never be made now because of the new racist rules.
There hasn’t been an original thought in Hollywood for at least 25 years. Just more and more remakes of other peoples original work.
I will never set foot in a theater again. It’s been at least three years now …. I have a streaming TV who needs the theater … where you can catch a disease or pick up bed bugs. Then there is the $6. popcorn that won’t be missed.
They are remaking The Golden Girls with a black cast as we speak. Don’t underestimate how much they are willing to lose so that they can call us racist for not watching.
I can see it now … Four fat Jemimas sitting around bad-mouthing Trump and all thing conservative.
We’ve got that already, thanks to Oprah Winfrey.
And Whoopi f’ing Goldberg.
Same here J…

ZERO Regrets…absolutely zero.
Everything makes the news these days.
People are too stupid to realize how new this is and that negative stuff, real or imagined, especially about the disadvantaged, is spread to the masses at the speed of light.
Perspective is gone.
The half-wits want instant change even though things have never been better for the vast majority of visible minorities.
When the ignorant are empowered by neo-Marxists and race-baiters this is what you get.
And nobody is more ignorant of the real world than the full-retards in Hollywood.
I watch mostly black and white movies; does that make me racist or woke?
Yes, of course it does. Which? I don’t know, depends what day of the week it is, or something.
These “apprenticeships” are a feature, not a bug.
Besides lattes expect to do the laundry pickup, car detailing, gardening and lawn work. If you are lucky you get do the chauffeuring while your drunk-ass movie star in the back blows more coke and snorts more champagne while complaining about the ignorant state of the masses.
Who really cares. Todays movies are either super hero movies or remakes of movies that weren’t that good in the first place.
Although it might be fun to see Friday the 13th with an all black cast, just to see the teens running away from Jason (or would that be Grand Master Jaz) yelling “Feets don’t fail me now”
Todays movies are either super hero movies or remakes of movies that weren’t that good in the first place.
Or they’re re-makes/re-boots of classic movies to “update” them, ending up as total rubbish.
One example is The Flight of the Phoenix, a mid-1960s aviation flick starring Jimmy Stewart and Richard Attenborough. It was tense and suspenseful as one didn’t know if the Phoenix could be built from the wreckage, let alone fly or if the survivors could live long enough to finish it. The characters were a diverse group of people, typical of what one might encounter in an oil camp in the middle of nowhere.
The re-make from nearly 20 years ago (“The” being dropped from the title) was absolutely dreadful. The cast was, for the most part, fresh-faced youngsters. One of the characters was black. There was the hot young lady dressed in spandex, who, if I’m not mistaken, was the resident “genius”. There was the typical nick-of-time escape from the baddies. There was no sense of desperation at being marooned in the desert and all of the characters always seemed to look as if they took a shower each day.
The only thing good about the movie was the scene in the opening credits when the plane lands near the drilling rig.
Is this our future as whites, according to BLM wishes, disappear? This video on Liberia is just incredible and scary.
Another group of blacks just shot up my old neighbourhood with dozens of rounds fired. We will be in serious trouble if they every learn to shoot straight. Daily shootings are soaring in old Toronto as John Tory babbles on.

Sorry Hollywood, this is not good enough for me.
I’m far more woke that this.
These are half measures.
Get serious and show me that you are really woke.
Same with sportsball, I’m not fooled by your feeble efforts at wokeness.
I would love to watch sportsball and Hollywood movies and shows but I can’t in good conscience.
I’m too pure and too virtuous and too woke to go along with these halfhearted attempts at wokeness.
Try again, put your back into it this time.
Keep ratcheting it up, I’ll let you know when you get it right.
“Never go full retard…”
Oops… too late.

When are we going to see Downey do his “i didn’t mean to do no cultural appropriation, really i didn’t” mea culpa?
No Oscars in Ironman’s future.
An hour long Trump campaign movie. The only line would be Barack Obama speaking, “vote like your life depends on it”. The video would just be the streets of the CHOP, the streets of Portland, etc., etc., etc. .

Maybe just a Trump TV channel, like that fireplace log that comes on at Christmas. Except it’s riots, and Obama on loop; “vote like your life depends on it — because it does”.
Make sure to include some of the moments when they caught Kyle Rittenhouse, and he had to fire some shots.
Oh, damn. I only thought of this, just now. Remember that video of Ezra Levant, trying to get to Toronto City Hall from a few months ago?
He should have put out a call to all aspiring The Rebel reporters in Toronto (who happened to have outstanding parking tickets), to come to City Hall with him to pay in person. If you are going to pay a fine to the city, and they deny you entrance, what would a judge say about that? Never mind, in Canada, judges exist only to protect the government from the citizens.
I wonder what all these white man haters are going to do when the planet requires the skill and knowledge of the “white men” to put the things these fools have broken back together.
I recently saw something where they were complaining that science books were too white man centric. After they re write those nobody will know that science existed. All this shit just was given to us by a female lesbian black god with a penis
Greg, I once had an idea for a sci-fi plot. The people became dumber and dumber, to the point where things no longer functioned. Man wound up living in the equivalent of the stone ages because they destroyed all that man had made before they existed. The population shrank to about 500 million, all living in the equatorial belt. Language, history, all science and agriculture ceased to exist because green communism was the new reality. They even thought that the agriculture that fed billions was unneeded. Medicine ceased to exist because it had been developed by people of whom “they” did not approve. In short, the planet and the people had to start all over and genetically rebuild the intellect and knowledge of thousands of years that had been flushed by the very dumb people. By the way, I did not and do not have a solution that does not involve removing all the stupid people from the planet.
Relax. Hollywood is doomed. CGI software is becoming so advanced that anyone is going to be able to produce amazing movies in their basement and distribute online for next to nothing within the next 5 years.
Add VR software onto that in another 10 years and look out.
Hollywood is in its death throes.
Digitize. Demonetize. Democratize.
Same what happened to photography, video rentals, CDs and music, newspapers, cable tv, news reporting, hotel rental, taxis (and now people are doing an Uber in the car rental business renting out their own cars). And much more to come.
The movie business is about to meet its demise. YaY!
It would seem that Hollywood is the residence of bizarre.
The only thing, of course, is to make money while pretending to be artistes.
To be sure there were some good movies in the past.
Today its composed mostly of mayhem. Apparently people like it, so they get it.
In so far as making money, there is no problem, its a business.
Now however they are making it into a socialist/fascist propaganda machine.
The outcome of that remains to be seen, though your plebeian, one would think, is not into propaganda however packaged. They may hit the wall and then will insist that the government pays up.
The irony of course is that once these “Artistes” gain some measure of stardom and financial gain, then feel that it is their place, and their right, to lecture the peasants on politics and social justice. The list is really long, but some of the loudest are people like Alec Baldwin, Micheal Moore, Alyssa Milano, Jennifer Laurence, Rob Reiner, Mark Ruffalo, Ashley Judd, and so on. Somehow meaning that some sort of success, elevates them to intelligent political commenters. They are “Actors” for F*** sake. They play Mr Dressup and pretend for a living. These idiots really need a reality check. Man these idiots really piss me off.
so does this mean the remake of Blazing Saddles will have a white sheriff riding into town?
Half-asian tranny. All of the Johnsons will be black and the frontier gibberish guy will be talking in jive. And Lilly von Shtupp will be played by a 500lb Shaniqua from HR – the one who makes a living callings crackers racist
