“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.” – Michael Moore

To dwindling ratings and cultural relevance, the Oscars have been broadcast on ABC since 1976. The final broadcast will occur in 2028, which also happens to be the 100thanniversary of the award ceremony.

Between 1974 and 2019, right before the Woke Era really took off, the Oscar telecast ensured incredible ratings and served as a national cultural event. At least 30 million, and sometimes as many as 50 million viewers, tuned it. Since 2021, the ratings have remained in the teens as Hollywood became more and more insulated, their movies got progressively worse, and the overall telecast became openly hostile and even mean-spirited towards Normal People.

So now the Oscars will stream on YouTube, where anyone who wants to can watch them for free online, at least through the end of the deal in 2033.

TMZ: Two people found dead in Rob Reiner’s Los Angeles home, matching the ages of Reiner and his wife.

There’s plenty of speculation, nobody knows anything.

Update:

Legendary Hollywood director-actor Rob Reiner and his wife were found dead inside the couple’s Brentwood home Sunday, TMZ reported.

Medical personnel with the Los Angeles Fire Department received a call at around 3:38 p.m. and responded to the 200 block of South Chadbourne Avenue for medical aid.

Fire officials told KTLA that arriving units found an approximately 78-year-old man and an approximately 68-year-old woman dead inside the home. Citing law enforcement sources, TMZ said the 78-year-old and his wife, 70-year-old Michele Reiner, suffered injuries consistent with a knife.

New reports state they were murdered by their son.

Not Reading The Room

From the pages of the Guardian, a reminder of which concerns – and by extension which citizens – simply don’t matter:

Readers are welcome to marvel at the conceit that objections to current policy – an effectively borderless nation – can only be the result of ignorance. No other possibilities being conceivable, it seems. And so, the flow of information, of views to be considered, and any expectations of listening, seem likely to travel in one direction only.

Readers will also note the assumption that the indigenous proletariat – those low-status citizens daring to be angry at the downgrading of their home – merely need to have their objections corrected. By drama of a very particular kind. As if concerns regarding rapid demographic transformation and a loss of cultural common ground could only ever be wrong.

Oh there’s more.

Cancelled Embrace Hollywood The Tolerant Left 12 Comments

I won’t spoil the ending.

At the height of the Great Awokening in 2021, [Gina] Carano posted that the then-current political climate — where people are hated for their political views — had a historical parallel in the Nazi Party’s efforts to make Germans hate their neighbors simply for being Jewish. To prove her point, critics launched a “#FireGinaCarano” campaign. As cowardly woke corporations so often do, Disney and Lucasfilm quickly caved to the pressure and fired Carano from her role in The Mandalorian.

It was a textbook example of how swiftly the online left-wing social media mob could mobilize to destroy someone for holding dissenting opinions — cancel culture, if you will. By bowing to that mob, Disney and Lucasfilm only emboldened it.

Not only that, but by firing Carano, both studios exposed themselves as massive hypocrites. Lucasfilm described her posts as “abhorrent and unacceptable” when she was removed. Conveniently unmentioned? Mandalorian co-star Pedro Pascal’s tweets comparing Trump supporters to Nazis, and another post with “#ThisIsAmerica” beneath an image he believed depicted U.S. immigration enforcement, but which was instead a photo from the West Bank. Beyond the fact that Pascal, lacking basic awareness, misrepresented the image entirely, the fact that he kept his job highlighted Disney’s ever-changing enforcement.

Embrace Hollywood Frankly, My Dear 39 Comments

He was never funny.

He was the epitome of the downfall of late night comedy into what could be called late night clapter, where the applauding of conservative misfortunes replaced wit or cleverness. Under Colbert, The Late Show became an avenue for liberals to vent their frustration at conservatives through cathartic booing.

Colbert was the most likely of all the permanent late night hosts to bring on liberal guests. His show would have been a must-visit place for 2028 Democratic hopefuls. Even on this Thursday, Colbert is scheduled to have Sen. Adam Schiff on.

The future of light night is bleak. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel has mused about retiring next year and is pessimistic about the state of the industry, a sentiment shared by NBC’s Seth Meyers. The death of late night was caused by many things, including increased competition that comes from streaming platforms and YouTube, but Colbert-like liberals also played a role. You can’t just write off half the country and expect a 30+ year-old institution to survive forever.

For old times’ sake.

“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.“ – Michael Moore.

… sources say that Molina did not intend the film to be a coming out story, as the character is 11. But either way, this characterization gradually faded away throughout the production process as Elio became more masculine following feedback from leadership. Gone were not only such direct examples of his passion for environmentalism and fashion, but also a scene in Elio’s bedroom with pictures suggesting a male crush.

I like Disney animation better when the fallout was limited to people being eaten by cute bears.
