Left-wing Hollywood killed the movie star, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. Nevertheless, even as outlets like the far-left Variety finally admit to this problem, do not expect anyone to admit to the real reasons. “Hollywood Grapples With Loss of Young Star Power,” reads the headline. The story explains the problem this way… “The hottest package at this year’s Cannes Film Festival stars a 76-year old action star and is a reboot of a movie that first dazzled moviegoers in 1993.” Variety is talking about Sylvester Stallone and his hit movie Cliffhanger. Yep, Cliffhanger 2 is the biggest deal at a prestigious worldwide film festival:

Comments:

Gotta agree. There is absolutely no one in Hollyweird that I would drop everything to run out to see in a movie. Even the moldy oldy stars of the 80's and 90's have lost my attention. And anything they did in their relative youth I already have on DVD.

The cohort looking for "young stars" find them on short form social media, primarily TikTok and to a lesser degree, Reels. This group finds Hollywood and fame in their hands.

There will always be big movie star draws as long as they continue to make movies. Some of the former big draws are aging, but there will be new big draws in the future. Although I have to agree that right now I can't think to many young box office gold.

I have so many DVDs and books. I find myself turning to them more and more since most entertainment now is simply not good.

Movies and TV are there to entertain; to show heroes winning and bad guys getting their just deserts. The public will pay money for that. I personally will not pay money to be preached to or to see the latest racial or ethnic flavor of the week, or the latest sexual deviancy they are trying to push. I want to see heroes I can imagine myself being. So nowadays I watch the old TV show channels if anything. Emergency, Adam-12, Lost In Space, Star Trek, the old horse operas. Those were good shows where the good guys won and you could watch with your kids without cringing.

Market forces at work. People are not going to pay $15 to be lectured, ridiculed, or proselytized. They also don't want to see their favorite old movies being remade into woke PC trash.

The admission is unnecessary. There are no movie stars. No one knows any of them, or know them only for their communist views and belligerence. No one wants to see them, as evidenced by the empty theaters.

When I go to the movies I don't really care about the actors - I think 1) subject matter I care enough to entice me into spending my money to go to the theater, 2) story, 3) props. At best I see actors as supporting props - they merely deliver the story, just like the set decorations and physical props (furnishings, wardrobe, etc) all add to how well the story is conveyed. For instance - Tom Cruise may think of himself as the 'star' of Top Gun or Top Gun - Maverick but the true stars of the movies were props like the F-14, F-18 aircraft used and the naval culture of the story and its setting. Cruise is just another convenient prop - albeit one who got fed the right lines to say and parrot them back at the right time.

All of my favorite movie stars are either getting older (Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman), retired (Gene Hackman, Jack Nicholson), have died (Sydney Pointier, Jessica Tandy) or have become leftwing democrat supporting stooges (Chris Evans, Don Cheadle, Samuel L Jackson, Meryl Steep, Tom Hanks). I find myself not wanting to pay movies prices for tickets and food just to watch preachy actors and actresses put forth their various agendas on screen. This goes for TV also. Case in point last week producer Dick Wolf's CBS show FBI: Most Wanted highlighted the TX governor busing illegal aliens to NYC debacle. The lead female agent called it a publicity stunt by the governor that's affecting human lives. I yelled at my TV yes human lives that shouldn't be here in the first place. That's why I'll wait until Denzel's movie The Equalizer 3 comes out soon as it reunites him with Man on Fire co-star former child actress Dakota Fanning. Also, thankfully I still have a good movie and book collection with access to classic TV channels like MeTV, Cozi TV and Heroes & Icons.

As in everywhere else in our culture, incompetence reigns supreme. Because of DEI, CRT and affirmative action, too many people don’t put in the time and energy to work toward a difficult goal. And so we get mediocre actors, mediocre narcissists, and political activists. I have not see a good Hollywood movie in years because the pool of serious actors isn’t there as it is in Britain. I have been bored into insensibility by what is on Netflix and Prime and most other American offerings. I have to go to BritBox, Masterpiece Theatre and other places if I want good programming or movies. I will make one exception: “Top Gun: Maverick.” That was truly awesome.

Yulia Hicks, a child who was reportedly denied a kidney transplant by Duke Children’s Hospital last year, underwent a successful, life-saving kidney transplant at ECUHealth Medical Center on Thursday. The North Carolina-based hospital stepped up to help Yulia, who has a genetic kidney disorder that requires a transplant, after her family said last year that Duke was refusing to put the teen on its kidney wait-list because she is unvaccinated against COVID. Notably, the family says Yulia had already recovered from the virus, but such information was unimportant to Duke Children’s Hospital. Yulia was sent back for surgery at 7 p.m. on Thursday evening, and is currently recovering in the pediatric ICU,

The late British author Beatrix Potter is being accused of stealing the stories for her Peter Rabbit books from slaves in America, with a woke literature professor saying Potter is guilty of the “appropriation” of black culture. In a recent essay, Emily Zobel Marshall, who teaches postcolonial literature at Leeds Beckett university in England, claimed Beatrix Potter ripped off the oral “Br’er Rabbit” folk tales told by slaves working on southern plantations. In addition, she accuses Potter of deliberately hiding the “sources” of her literary inspiration. [Tweet]

The House Weaponization Committee shone a big bright light on a concerning action by Bank of America that should concern all Americans. Now, the House GOP is taking action. On Thursday, the House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said they would be investigating what they’d learned from whistleblower testimony — how Bank of America, without any legal process from the FBI, turned over to the FBI a list of all its customers who purchased anything within the neighborhood of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area between Jan. 5 and Jan. 7, 2021.

Over half of Americans believe former President Trump was the center of a politically-motivated hoax over allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia. Following the release of Special Counsel John Durham's report on the origins of Russia-gate, a Rasmussen poll found that 63 percent of Americans believe the Russia smear was a "hit job" against Trump orchestrated by Hillary Clinton's campaign. Jokes on the Democratic Party because Trump won the 2016 presidential election in a landslide despite allegations that could have destroyed him. The poll also found that 59 percent of Americans want the FBI agents involved in the Trump-Russia investigation to be prosecuted for their actions.

For the last, oh, I don’t know… forever… ranchers and farmers large and small have taken care of their livestock with antibiotics and antimicrobials that were available at farm stores. These medicines treat common illnesses and infections that people who own large animals and livestock are very familiar with and qualified to treat. They have been trusted to do so for as long as these medicines have been available. The first chicken antibiotics were introduced in 1948. Since then, there has been no call nor reason to regulate these items. Many farmers and ranchers tend to many of their animals’ veterinary needs,

A combination of physical therapy and neurological implants has restored a man’s control over his lower body after 12 years of paralysis. Gert-Jan Oskam was living in China in 2011 when he was in a motorcycle accident that left him paralyzed from below his hips. Now, a combination of brain and spinal implants have acted as a “digital bridge,” bypassing damaged parts of his spinal cord to help him to stand and walk, even over steep inclines. At first, he was walking with the aid of a walker. However, the treatment also seems to have induced neurological recovery — more recently, Oskam has regained the ability to walk with crutches,

Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch are sponsoring at least three different upcoming Pride events despite backlash over the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a social media influencer who identifies as transgender. Bud Light is listed as a sponsor on the Cincinnati Pride Parade website. Planned Parenthood and the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, which medically transitions minors, are both also listed. Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Missouri, where Anheuser-Busch is headquartered, the company is listed as the presenting sponsor of the St. Louis Pride Parade. A sponsorship packet explains that there are only four “presenting sponsor” slots available. The “Rainbow” sponsorship tier, located below the “presenting sponsor” tier, requires entities to pay $25,000.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to announce his 2024 candidacy tonight, coming on the heels of a new immigration enforcement measure that has some illegals leaving Florida. We must secure the border and deport people who shouldn’t be here. Joe Biden and the Democrats think otherwise, creating a humanitarian crisis at the southern border. It’s an invasion. And with Democrats occupying the White House, Republican governors are our best hope to curb the flow of illegal immigration until the next election. On July 1, new measures in the Sunshine State will greatly degrade the ability of illegal aliens to move and live among us freely.

While the push has been on in woke Democratic circles to shove Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) out the door before her last term in office is over, there has also been a coordinated effort among Feinstein’s “allies” to make sure she doesn’t. The reasons are obvious but nevertheless intriguing even to those not predisposed to obsessing over the finer points of behind-the-scenes political machinations. The most vocal proponent on the “Feinstein must retire” side has been Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who is rumored to be considering a future run for president but who for now seems content with being the co-chair for Rep. Barbara Lee’s (D-Calif.) 2024 Senate run.

On Tuesday, a U-Haul crashed into a barricade outside the White House grounds. Immediately, speculation that the driver was a “white supremacist” after a Nazi flag was allegedly pulled from the wreck. In fact, the flag was spread out and displayed for reporters by the FBI agents on the scene. Why did they do that? Someone will have to ask them, but the narrative became a lot more complicated after the driver was identified as Sai Varshith Kandula. Needless to say, he didn’t exactly fit the “white supremacist” profile. Now, in a move that is sure to spark much speculation, the DOJ has suddenly downgraded the charges involved.

Lansing — Michigan could become the third state to ban the declawing of cats under a bill introduced Thursday in the state Legislature. House Bill 4674, sponsored by Rep. Jimmie Wilson, Jr., D-Ypsilanti, would ban the common practice except for "therapeutic" purposes, which would not include protecting against damaged household furniture or other scratches. New York and Maryland have already banned cat declawing as cruel and unnecessary, said Leaha Skylar Dotson, Wilson's legislative and policy director. "There's a lot of misconception that we're just trimming off the nail," Dotson said.

Left-wing extremism is linked to toxic, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism, according to a new study published to the peer-reviewed journal Current Psychology. “Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism,” the authors wrote. (snip) “In particular, certain forms of activism might provide them with opportunities for positive self-presentation and displays of moral superiority, to gain social status, to dominate others, and to engage in social conflicts and aggression to satisfy their need for thrill seeking.” The study on left-wing authoritarianism also showed that many times they do not practice what they so loudly preach.
