Why would I care about the domestic box office exclusively? I naturally only care about total gross, and Mission Impossible is beating the total failure that is Woke Indy.
I haven’t seen it because I refuse to fund woke, but the worthwhile reviewers who scan for woke content have given it multiple thumbs down, citing PWB as an unnecessary empowered female insert who demeans the straight white male hero, is more capable than him, boasts about her ‘beauty’ and being ‘self-reliant’, makes that disgusting commie comment about ‘capitalism’ etc etc
It’s obviously more woke dreck from that woke overlord bitch Kathleen Kennedy and it’s great that it has made a huge loss.
You might be happy to bend over for woke but normal people aren’t. Have some empathy.
Good points well made 🍻
<blockquote>You guys spout that anytime a woke movie doesn't do well.</blockquote>
Who is ‘you guys’? Any normal person can observe that woke movies fail. Perhaps one or two manage to squeak a profit but on the whole everyone hates them, while non-woke movies like Top Gun: Maverick are huge successes.
<blockquote>Which what woke means nowadays is a diverse cast. </blockquote>
Bullshit attempt to redefine woke, a diverse cast isn’t necessarily woke. You know this, stop lying.
<blockquote> Yes but to deny that people of your group </blockquote>
I don’t belong to any ‘group’ as you do. I’m just a normal person observing reality.
<blockquote>any time a female is in an action movie, and kicks ass, it's viewed as 'woke' feminine empowerment</blockquote>
That’s bullshit strawmanning. Dead Reckoning has strong women aplenty but isn’t woke because they still exhibit human vulnerability and the film is not attacking and undermining its original male heroes.
This attempt to blame ‘both sides’ is obvious gaslighting. What we have is normal unsuspecting people suddenly under attack from a radical, aggressive racist/sexist political ideology that obnoxiously inserted itself into all forms of media and art at the same time.
There’s no moral equivalence between the evil woke shits who are launching these attacks and the innocent people being relentlessly subjected to it, and you know it.
Meh, it’s about the inventor of the nuclear bomb so having him standing within swirling particles seems pretty apt.
Frankly I’m just happy to see a studio putting up the cash for a big budget biopic by a decent director so the marketing department can go crazy and do whatever they want to get bums on seats so we get more films like this.
Puberty settles gender confusion, so trans activists try to get in before that window closes and start injecting the kids with puberty blockers, permanently damaging them and making it easier to ‘transition’.
Nobody should be allowed to ‘transition’ until they have lived for 10 years as an adult of their real sex, so 28 would be the earliest. This would save a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering as people realise that hacking off their dick or tits is a stupid act of self-harm encouraged by psychotic Leftoid mutants.
That would be fun, but it seems there’s a Trannie Barbie at some point, amongst all the feminazi messaging.
Damon shame because Hollywood rarely makes comedies these days and this looked like a bit of fun, but there’s no way in hell I’m funding more tedious woke propaganda.
It shouldn’t be political at all, but from that review the film sounds as woke as we all feared, with Ken benefitting from the ‘patriarchal’ real world.
That would be a great message if they travelled into an Islamic country where women are treated like dogshit, but in the contemporary West institutions bend over backwards to elevate and revere women, showering them with special treatment, while men are crapped on from all angles (including popular entertainment like this)
What a shame, this could have been a fun ride, but it’s more tedious woke propaganda that I will not be funding.
Note the typical accompanying sexual degeneracy ☝️
Screw this film if true. Do you have links to those reviews?
Here come the woke apologists ☝️
Eh? A positive RT score is an instant red flag that this might be more woke garbage. Only when the film has been scanned for woke and cleared by trusted reviewers can one even contemplate buying a ticket.
Yes, a big woman can believably take on smaller guys, but the tiny Iranian woman in Extraction should not be pitted against men in hand-to-hand unless they are very scrawny/old/disabled or dwarves.
You fill loff meine moofie ‘Barben und Ken’.
Apparently many of Michael Jackson’s most iconic dance moves were him recreating how he would dodge various projectiles being thrown at him by his drunk father.
True creativity requires an openness to the darkness, it’s unsafe and unpredictable, you can only create wonderful bright things by understanding the dark as well.
It’s like all the colourful joy of the chocolate factory has a dark underbelly, and this is true of Wonka himself. He gave them a preview of his soul in that tunnel.
Sounds plausible. I always wondered why his head seemed to be intact when Dillon spotted him.
All thanks to McTiernan. He says in the commentary that he deliberately cast great supporting actors, especially Carl Weathers, for Arnie to play off and raise his game.
The results speak for themselves. Compare Predator to Commando, Arnie is believable in Pred whereas in Commando his atrocious acting is part of the endless unintentional comedy.
A very valid point that wokies always run away from.
