So I’m having a little breakfast and watching a few minutes of The Day After Tomorrow. I’ve only seen it once back when it came out, and you guys know that I’m not a Doomer porn fan these days. So I’m watching about 10 minutes of it before taking the pups out for their daily run (before it gets so hot that they burst into flame). Here’s what I see:

Two guys pack up and hit the road (where and why I don’t know, evidently to save their group.) It’s snowing and a huge storm is coming. Anyway, off they go. Two women stay behind to care for the elderly and injured. One stands all doe-eyed as they drive away (obviously a love interest.)

Unbidden, the thought of what that scene would be like were that film made in the woke era. Something like this:

The two women (one a transwoman, the other a huge fat POC) pack up their SUV to go save the group. They don’t dress warmly because their super female powers mean they’re immune from climate extremes. The two men wave goodbye as they drive away, they embrace and lock lips in a long, passionate kiss. With each other.


That’s today’s Hollywoke. That writer’s strike is actually doing a national service.

That was a film that shouldn't have taken itself so seriously. It was unintentional comedy.

Contrast with 2012, which was fun because it was intentional comedy.

These hollywood movies are nothing more than predictive programming for the weak minded, bunch of damn simps and cucks acting like they're spouting reality.

To comment on Dennis's point, I'm open when it comes to casting, and many things don't bother me as long as they can fit into the plot. But these days, it is so apparent that so many casting and script decisions are being made to be as "out there" as possible, and I don't mean in a good way, that it takes the fun out of relaxation viewing as distracts from viewing that may have a real point.

Just one example is season two of Good Omens, which I just watched. The first one was brilliant, and the second was OK, but the constant message points were distracting and often annoying (a disabled angel in a wheelchair, really? - OK, maybe Terry Pratchett might have gone for that, but he'd have it fit the script).

I am one of the more gay-friendly people on this forum, having spent much of my life around gay men and living with a lesbian housemate (she's my housemate, not my partner), but does every relationship have to be either same-sex or bi-racial?

This isn't the positive spin of a fantasy alternative 18th century which is explained in the series of a fictional multiracial London in Bridgeton (which is pure fluff entertainment anyway), or an attempt at portraying a sci-fi version of Martin Luther King's Future with humans of all colors and aliens of many types serving and meeting each other on Star Trek. This is pure numbers crunching to meet some quota that has been ordered by someone(s). And like some of the media during WWII and The Cold War, you can tell when the heavy hand of the censor is involved.

That's OK, I have an off button and I have books - so do most people on this forum.

He would have named the character Capable Wheelson.

It's crazy the producers thought Pratchett(and Gaiman), of all people, needed tinkering. Pratchett was a master of sensitive subjects without letting it substitute for or interfere with storytelling.

It was one of the most brillant pieces of propaganda ever produced in the same clazs as Hitlers triumh of the will.
It convincedan entire generation of 9 year old kids that they were doomed by climate
Change leading to hundreds of despairing suicides
by teenagers. What I call the gteta generation.it gave us broad under 30 blind support fof EVERY CRACKPOT IDEA TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE.
GET READY SIEG HEIL!

My favorite was San Andreas, it was not the Movie but Alexandra Daddario. Yeah I could give one Hundred reasons for liking her, and there are many... But Her Gorgeous Eyes and the contrast of her hair to set them off...

Those of you from way back - remember the movie “Y2K”? Airplanes falling out of the sky & stuff. I’ll never forget the scene where a guy in street clothes is standing INSIDE THE REACTOR of a nuke plant watching the coolant water flow. And he didn’t even have a big red S on his chest.
