Not just woke- "insanely woke".

What are they trying to hide??!!

You understand everyone can see on the front page you were in here posting by yourself in multiple threads when you posted this, right?

It's in quotes, numbnuts.

Of course I am speaking in general terms. You can tell there are certain movies that could lean harder one way or the other, and those are the ones that usually have the most "outrage" over them. Lefties bristle a bit more when there is overly religious themes, for example. The righties act up more if something is a bit more "woke", whether real or perceived in both cases. Also people who are movie lovers first tend to care less than people who just go to movies occasionally for entertainment in my experience.

The right should have movies that appeal to them too, but they often are a harder sell and don't make money. The left haven't seen Sound of Freedom largely -they aren't losing their bacon over the movie itself, they are questioning the beliefs of the people behind the movie and don't want to see the movie because they think it's QAnon adjacent. The right aren't going to Barbie because they think it's going to be overly woke. Different side, same coin.

She hasn't directed many movies, man. This is her 3rd or 4th. Ladybird and Little Women I both liked well enough to give Barbie a look when it streams.

Good post.

All she has directed so far

Brokeback Mountain? Cuties?

Thats because you are talking to the pedo groomers who WANT this stuff going on.

This one whining about people complaining about there being too many trannie threads. It's totally different.

Makes so much sense- Ken in a trannie! Let the boycotts begin!

It was the maker's intent to read into it, not sure why that is a bad thing.

I'm sure I will- I watch too many movies and have liked Gerwig's other movies.

Another movie people in here won't see, but will have opinions about.

Probably accidentally drank a Bud Light last night and thinks he going to turn trans and woke.

Being upset about everything gets attention and clicks - he wants money as much as the rest. He is capable of having normal conversations on other podcasts and interviews, but when $ on is on the line he goes right back to this mode and plays to the base more.

Shapiro is annoying, but not dumb. He knows what his demographic is. at that 3rd video. I didn't think the first was bad, though bringing up a lack of faith in a mainstream movie tells me you don't watch mainstream movies.

Agreed, I guess that's why it always makes me scratch my head when horror fans flock to those still. If there is any genre that is thriving for movies it's for sure horror movies. The last couple years has been some of the best ever, IMO. But that's because of stuff like Barbarian and Bodies, Bodies, Bodies - not Evil Dead and Hellraiser reboots.

I think both are wrong for reasons I posted above, because it's all or nothing with both sides. Universal application of policing policy isn't the answer, and I never see any actual nuanced talk. Defund the Police was a completely stupid movement and name - easy target. That said, I found some of the ideas I read under the umbrella of the idea - like cutting down on the police interactions with infractions, reallocating police in different ways, increasing training - things like that. But like I said, any wiff of that in the last decade gets you branded as an anti-cop, pro-crime flaming lib. I think it's consistent with my lines of smaller government and wanting tax money spent effectively.

So one side largely brings up that population density is tied to many of these issues then you ask why the problems would follow to the 'burbs as you increase population density? Bad happens when jobs go away as does spending power, and that is happening in the 'burbs too. Rent only going up in the inner city? Of course it can ONLY be that it's ONLY dems leaving the cities and bringing their evil beliefs with them and taking over the 'burbs!! No need to think any more on that, case solved!

Come on people, stop watching this and maybe we'd get some new horror that doesn't predictably suck like 40 years later reboots. Are any of you really surprised the Evil Dead reboot/remake/whateverthef0ck was bad? Honestly, what was the last horror movie that falls into that category that didn't pretty much suck?

WOW, imagine that. Correct. So a policing method that was shown to be pretty effective in the 3% of the city during peak night rowdy hours was shown to not be effective in the burbs at 2pm (remember, about 50% of the crime was here and during those times). It was also so concentrated that they could talk about streets and blocks. So while it seems counterintuitive - that method could be effective in one part of a district but not another. Use this method globally, and one part of the community feels like they are being harrassed and the other part sees the crime dropping and is pissed when somebody talks about decreasing police - which is what we saw play out in the last decade. I usually default to following the money - IMO what happened is decades ago we saw those big drops in crime in those areas doing that method in the experiments/studies, but applied it incorrectly and too broadly. Over the decades the areas outside of those spots felt overpoliced and at the same time it was hard to get off that goverment teet and revenue that was created by that global policy.

Use common sense, what do you think the answer is?
