We are surrounded by morons.

Even if the premise were right, which it is not, you never look back and judge by current sensibilities. Things that happened then are only to be judged by the social acceptance of the day they happened.

This is why we can't have great things, like Disney's immortal but forbidden movie Song of the South.

Again, morons being outed by their virtue signaling. Every villainous role ever played represents some terrible example of human nature. Playing that part was nothing more. However the virtue signal shows us how liberals lack understanding.

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness. To borrow from informed reports I've seen it is the only one where just recently the treatment begins by agreeing with the patient, and encouraging transitioning. All this to subsidize the medical business willing to perform the disfiguring of patients.

Great, now they’ll go back and edit the movie, taking out all the tranny references, and make “Buffalo Bill” an evil MAGA guy. Roll Eyes

I can’t say it any better myself other than… nope, I still can’t say it any better.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I have to say I’m really, really disappointed in Capt. Leland Stottlemeyer*. Totally out of character for that super conservative highly strung man…

They will never be happy.

Oh Jesus Christ, Hollywood just can’t stop stepping on a rake with this BS. Funny enough in 1991 that was the year I got my first handgun, it was between a 4” bright stainless King Cobra or a 4” bright stainless Python, the bad guy had a 6” Python and helped my decision.

I wonder if Nolte and Murphy have regrets about 48 Hours and it's prodigious use of racial slurs. Roll Eyes

In my screenplay rewrite, Actor Ted Levine eats The Hollywood Reporter Ryan Gajweski's liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I don't think that's his liver that he's chewing on!

it is the same crap they gave the series Wire in The Blood (which is excellent with Robson Green). The first episode has a tranny serial killer, which was fine until a few years ago. Now it is "bad" for the Woke Mod seeking their Tranny Support Merit Badge.

Those are also the same folks who deny any correlation with the active shooters being trans or being gender confused the last few years. More nonsense from the No Sense crowd.

They can’t. They have no imagination anymore.

How many times do these idiots roll out yet another do over, re-write, sequel complete with fags and dikes only to have it fall flat on its face? They want to “normalize” their own depraved lifestyle by shoving it everyone’s faces until they just give up.
Never give up. Without our money they just a study of the mentally ill.

^^^ THIS ^^^

One of the reasons that 62% of the movies released in 2025 lost money.

Theater sales get affected by dumb plots combined with Hollyweird being too dumb to realize normal people don't want to watch their woke shit. People don't want a remake with race-swapping, gender-swapping, forced inclusivity (i.e. LBGQT people are ~9% of population but an insane amount of lead characters), etc. Also don't want original movies with Christian hating themes, man hating themes, and family hating themes.

Yep. Only non-trans people commit murder. Roll Eyes

Oh, wait...I seem to recall a list of the last ten or so school shooters...

It's a goddamn MOVIE, people. It's a damn good one, too.
