Has Hollywood Got A Problem With 1989?

1989 is one of my fondest movie years.

We had Batman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and The Little Mermaid.

But modern Hollywood, and the likes of HACK Snyder, Ezra Miller, Kathleen Kennedy and whatever faceless corporate beancounters who greenlit The Little Mermaid, seem intent on DUMPING on those great 1989 movies this year. Why?

Do they hate great movies, for some reason? Do they harbour some type of weird hatred towards the most marginalised, ignored, and pissed-about generation in living history (i.e. Generation X)? I mean, I watched a drama recently where some naive and clueless Zillennial girl (a lesbian, a vegan and a drug-taker *sigh* 🙄🤦‍♂️ Aren't they all...?) badmouthed her parents' generation for being 'transphobes and racists'...

What a FUCKING MORON. Clearly she's confusing Generation X with the Boomers. Generation X is THE MOST harmless, peaceful and decent generation in living history.

It's the Boomers and the Millennials/Zillennials who are the spoiled attention-seeking cry-babies and whiners. Fuck Them! 😠👊🏿

He probably got frustrated with the limited attention his shtick was yielding from posting upwards of 13 hours a day and went back to the ChatGPT drawing board.

Has nothing to do with the year they are just on a war path against white people and notably white men. If it is white it has to go, if it is a white male it has to be replaced with a woman etc

Their Woke films flop anyway.

Indiana Jones is still played by a white man. He has not been replaced by anyone.

From what I have read there is lots of white man bashing and a woman does most of the heroics. In other words they are passing the baton completely unaware that a female Indy already exists - Lara Croft.

I've seen the movie and I don't recall any white man bashing. Indy does a fair amount of the action and I don't think it is accurate to say that they are passing the baton.

the very fact there is a woman doing anything other than getting rescued or getting naked will get these types apopleptic.

Consider engaging with cultural works and evaluating them on your own terms instead of allowing your opinion to be shaped by purposefully inaccurate sensationalized outrage bait. Literally none of that happens in the film.

Do The Right Thing was 1989.

Stop the Boomer hate. Gen X includes the stupid parents who think/thought participation trophies and all of the crap that goes along with that thinking which has helped get us where we are today.

Snyder didn't dump on Batman '89. The Flash just referenced one of his movies.

And if it does OR doesn't, should it (or not)?

YUP...YOU'RE DEAD.
