I'm sure you're 100% correct that the show is a woke POS (I'm not planning on watching it myself), but the gay thing was always part of The Jackal story, it's in the book as well.

Beware of our resident woketard troll who just can't stop himself from responding with some crybaby comment because he wasn't careful pulling his little wiener again.

How can you watch ep 6. It hasn’t been released yet.

[–] moviebuff00 (797) 7 days ago

oh my god that proves how stupid you are. you dont even know when an ep comes out. why are you even arguing with me about anything? you dont even have a grasp on simple facts.

[–] letess (1513) 7 days ago

Episode 6 has not been released in the US. It’s on Peacock and you currently can only see episodes 1-5 with a drop next Thursday. Ep. 6 is available in the UK and some other countries but not the US. And you say you are American. You’re a real nut case. But you probably get that a lot.

[–] moviebuff00 (797) 7 days ago

ok you're blocked. you are a fucking idiot. use two fucking braincells before talking to anyone please. i know you wont get it so i have to give you a hint. there is way to watch a tv show without streaming it. holy shit. i'm leaving this here long enough for you to read it before blocking you.

[–] letess (1513) 7 days ago

Block me or blow me a kiss. But unless someone else knows how, you can only stream this series on Peacock. Here. The US of A.

I keep hearing VPNs advertise that you can use them to watch content on the steamers in other countries.

Not sure if that’s true.

Never tried it.

Moviebuff00 may have done that.

But doesn’t seem like he’s smart enough to know how.

>Block me or blow me a kiss.

That’s great. 😄😄😄

[–] Stratego (30496) 4 days ago

Yes, you can use VPNs to watch content on streamers in other countries. Pretty simple.

[–] jk90us (7138) 4 days ago

Good to know.

reply

[–] letess (1513) 4 days ago

I saw the VPN thing later. I thought the same as you - could this guy actually figure out some way to watch episode 6. Lunacy and brilliance.

But I don’t think you save that much money as you have to do 24 months at a time. I think. And the monthly by itself is way more than a subscription monthly of say, Peacock. And you can cancel those anytime. But I am sure there is a way. There’s always another way.

Woke will stay around. That cancer is massive and it's deeply embedded across the western institutions. It can't be cut out overnight, especially when hordes of liberal activists, high on their own sanctimonious farts, will try every underhanded tactic to keep it in place.

it's gonna be a while because they infiltrated a lot of the leadership in media. that's how it became so pervasive. look at the devs in big game companies now, they're fucking trannies. that's how we got games with breast removal scars. female characters that look manly. why a tv show called the witcher was 90% about vaginas. why every leader in picard was a woman and the list goes on and on and on. they're fucking everywhere right now, not just a few studios. the day kathleen kennedy gets canned, that day you know the tides have turned. disney blocking a tranny episode in a cartoon is a good sign. i was shocked at how fast they turned after trump won.

woke was alive and thriving during T's presidency in 2016. At the same time, I think his win now signals that social engineering project they had running ain't achieving its goals, so they might opt for another route towards achieving it.

reply

[–] moviebuff00 (797) 6 days ago

in 2016, wokeness wasnt the issue, it was radical feminism. liberals just couldnt help themselves. they constantly had to push the envelope. so after radical feminism, it was trannies. lol i mean really? that's the hill they wanted to die on? the trannies hill. so they died and possibly democracy along with it.

actually the show is easily one of the best of 2024 and there was only like 3 good shows in 2024. it's good despite all the blacks and vaginas. the only way i could stomach the show though was fast forwarding all the vagina scenes. i watch just enough of it to get the gist of the story. but of course, they had to shove a gay scene in my face, which i fast forwarded quickly too. there are so few watchable shows in 2024 that i have to resort to this. it's fucking sad.

[–] Ranb (9595) 6 days ago

Let me guess, you never read the book? Did you even know it was a book?

The book was written in 1971; it details real and fictional activities related to assassination attempts on Charles de Gaulle in the 1960's. It was adapted into films in 1973, 1988 and 1997. The 1971 version was faithful to the book, the latter two adaptations were little more than adaptations in name only.

While it might be interesting to see a TV series period piece set in the 1960's, it has already been done. I'm guessing that you simply object to the presence of gay people and females in positions of power in the world as a whole.

You're boring to say the least. :)

[–] moviebuff00 (797) 6 days ago

i couldnt give two shits about the book. just because he was gay in it doesnt dismiss anything else i said. were women the leaders in the book? why didnt you talk about that? did bosses ask their subordinates what to do in the books? because both the female mi6 station chief, the black commander, the billionaire illuminati dude ask their subordinates what to do next. was degaulle gay in the book? why is the ceo gay?

reply

[–] Ranb (9595) 5 days ago

In the book and the 1973 and 1997 film adaptations, the Jackel may or may not be gay. They do seduce and use men and women to their advantage. In both cases they get close to gay men and straight women to use their homes to hide out in.

I'm not sure what kind of "command structure" that you are accustom to, but when I was in the Navy, I would routinely give my recommendations to the officer in charge of the watch and he may or may not ask for more details including clarification and if I had other recommendations. None of the officers on my submarines had the same knowledge I had in my field of expertise, so they would be derelict in their duties if they not seek out the advice of the senior watch standers. They did of course know enough about my job as to know if an enlisted watch stander was giving them a line of BS.

In the book and the 1971 film, two men are assigned by the British and french governments to seek out the Jackel. They are given broad powers of investigation and their superiors do indeed ask them what they need.

You're asking why certain people are gay? Why do you care other than to object to the existence of gay people in this world?

The world that you imagine yourself to live in is very strange. Thank you for giving me a glimpse of it just to be glad I'm not sharing it with you.

Why are you so threatened by everything?

reply

[–] moviebuff00 (797) 5 days ago

i'm not. you were annoying me so i asked that. i wasnt even sure you were gay until now. as for command structure, i'm not sure what structure they had in this show because it's MI6 but a police captain overseeing a case would not ask his detective what to do next. he sends the detective out to accomplish a goal, then the detective writes his report, then the captain decides what to do next. that was two situations in the show. the third one is the rich illuminati guy asking the woman what to do. why the fuck would he do that? he's the one that decides. she's not some specialist, she's the intermediary between him and the assassin.

fucking stop trying to normalize this vagina shit. their attempt at brainwashing isnt gonna work. women have never been able to found nations in the entirety of human history. they've only ever inherited kingdoms. today they're only given authority because men let them have it. if it was a true competition between everyone, women wouldnt even be in the running because they couldnt outcompete men. it's fine to show this fantasy sometimes in media but ALL the time? come on. that's fucking annoying. would it be fun to watch a story where every time it's a high intellect profession, the person was black? well, right now it's a fucking vagina.

it's not me being threatened. it's me being fucking annoyed that i cant enjoy realistic stories anymore. the problem with people like you is you can't seem to understand that when a person dislikes something, it isnt personal. it's rational. you think i'm threatened and that's why i hate it. no, i am not. i fucking walk outside, women still aren't doctors, engineers, cops, soldiers or 99% of the power jobs in america. it's a fantasy. anywhere where there's true competition and you can't simply be handed a position, women aren't there. why would i be threatened?

reply

[–] Ranb (9595) 4 days ago

You're not annoyed. You're threatened by anything that does not fit in your "cute straight man cubicle". The thing that scares you most is women and the idea that they could amount to anything in your mind.

The Palmyrene Empire was ruled by Queen Zenobia, Queen Dido allegedly founded Carthage. But I'm certain that you will give some man the credit for that though.

It hardly matters how you imagine MI6 command structure works. Any modern command depends upon competent followers and leaders. Leaders who can ask for and take advice from underlings are to be appreciated for how they utilize the resources at their disposal. But it seems that you lack any sort of leadership experience at all. This is not the flex you think it is.

Your position is irrational to say the least. My physician is a woman, my daughter is a police officer. I worked with female engineers prior to retirement. I served under female officers in the US Navy. You act like you're walking around with a blindfold on. Not a good look for anyone.

Ever heard of the Bechdal List? It is a measure of the representation of women in film and other fiction.
1.The movie has to have at least two women in it,
2. who talk to each other,
3. about something other than a man.

The above criteria is a very low bar to pass. You might be surprised at how many films fail this very basic test. https://bechdeltest.com/

Can you imagine if there were many films that could not pass the same test for male actors? It would be very few.

Your post reeks of INCEL to say the least.

[–] letess (1513) 5 days ago

This movie buff guy is really troubled. He’s in a very strange place. I am sure someone has flagged him. If there are any missing women wherever he lives, they should check this guy out.

On another note, I commend you for being familiar and appreciative of The Day of the Jackal movies and novel. Yes, the scene where the cab drives the Jackal to the Turkish bath is great. He picks up a guy and goes to his swanky flat and stays there for days. He doesn’t kill him until he’s found out and even then it’s quick because the Jackal is a silent cold-blooded killer. Calling the original film archaic just shows that some people can’t adapt to a movie made earlier, and they can’t adapt to a modernization as well.

And the constant woke shoutouts - to some on this post if a black actor were cast as Othello - that would be woke.

The 1973 film contains the homosexual subtext that the OP is crying about. After the public manhunt starts, the Jackel picks up a man at a bathhouse and stays at his home prior to murdering him. These scenes are also in the book and the 1997 Bruce Willis adaptation.

Is the 1973 Day of the Jackel both woke and great? :)
