Embrace Hollywood!

Via Instapundit;

The share of Americans with a favorable impression of Disney has collapsed from 77% last year to just 33% today. This is catastrophic reputational damage—and a warning to other companies about the cost of going woke.

Disney, which built a family-friendly brand over the course of a century, is now less popular than both Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
It’s stunning: brands typically have much higher favorability ratings than political figures. But when Disney started to promote left-wing racial and sexual politics, it soon had a favorability rating roughly equal to the most polarizing national politicians. A lesson there.

We will see if this has translated into financial consequences at the next quarterly earnings report. (The most recent quarterly earnings report only covered through April 2, before the leaked videos drove the media cycle and before the DeSantis legislation.)

And so, Ms Hoskin tells us that she does not condone violence, while insisting that responsibility for violence must be shifted from those who indulge in it, provided they are black, and attributed instead to the insidious, all-pervasive, yet oddly nebulous, power of pallor. Which, in ways never quite specified, compels very rich comedians to tell bad jokes, and makes very rich actors slap the people who tell them. This, we’re assured, is “white supremacist culture.”

A hot take is detected.

Doing what I do….

This humorous clip from Seinfeld pretty much sums up current pandemic policy as it turns full circle to regurgitate the failed policies of the past. Kramer appears to be channeling any number of pandemic central planners like Fauci, Brent Roussin or Bonnie Henry.

“I’ve always done what I do. I’m doing what I do. The way I’ve always done it. The way I’ll always do it.”

“Kramer, what the hell are you talking about?”

…in West Side Story, Spielberg literally went woke for broke — down to long stretches of Spanish dialogue with no English subtitles, and his painful justification for it: “I felt that subtitling the Spanish was disrespectful to the second language of this country,” Spielberg said. “It would make English the dominant language, because then there would be two being spoken: the English by the characters speaking and the English that would [be written] underneath the spoken Spanish words.” It also helped convince potential moviegoers to avoid the picture like the plague.
