I’m officially inviting the Brat Pack to the Anti-Communist Film Festival. The Brat Pack were a group of actors who were young in the 1980s and the subject of a famous magazine profile by David Blum. Rob Lowe, Sean Penn, Emilio Estevez, and Andrew McCarthy, as well as female stars like Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore and Ali Sheedy, were the hot young actors in Hollywood in the Reagan Era.

Nolte: Uwe Boll Says ‘Citizen Vigilante’ Is a ‘Revolt‘ Against Studios Like Netflix Depicting All Migrants as Perfect
Citizen Vigilante director Uwe Boll defended his movie primarily as a response to the ongoing cover-up, both by politicians and the entertainment industry, about the very real horrors inflicted on society by migrant criminals.
“If you watch any German movie, all the migrants are perfectly integrated, intelligent, perfectly German-speaking people, and that’s just wrong,” he said. “That’s not the case.”
‘The Odyssey‘ Star John Leguizamo Claims Europe Stole ‘500,000 Tons of Gold‘ from ‘Latin People‘ (Only 220,000 Have Been Mined in Human History)
Actor John Leguizamo has claimed that European colonizers stole 500,000 tons of gold from Latin people despite evidence showing that only 220,000 tons have been mined in human history.
Leguizamo, who will be starring in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic The Odyssey, revealed his thoughts about European colonization during an appearance on the One Nightstand podcast.
Another Nail in the Hollywood Coffin: George Washington Beats ‘Supergirl’
The most illustrative headline on the current state of the Culture War appeared last weekend in the web magazine Cosmic Book News: “Supergirl Box office Collapses 80 percent And Loses To A George Washington Movie.” Predicting the Supergirl implosion in my review of the movie required no Nostradamus mysticism. Nor did anticipating the enormous success of Young Washington. The Angel Studios release opened at $20 million, which just happens to match its production budget. By comparison, the $170 million DC Universe picture has grossed close to $65 million worldwide, and may fall well short of a hundred million.
Nolte: Weekend Two of ‘Supergirl’ Goes into -74 Percent Superdive
Frequently, a holiday can save a movie. After a slow start, a three or four-day weekend can swoop in and rescue a title that faltered out of the gate. We see this a lot around Christmas. More people are off from work, so more people go to the movies. This isn’t rocket science.
I see this film working if it’s rejigged as a 70’s porn flick.
Gun Control to Gun Patrol: U.S. Army, Over 120 Police Turn MSG into Fortress for Taylor Swift Star-Studded Wedding
Pop superstar and gun control proponent Taylor Swift will enjoy the protection of over 120 police officers as she marries Travis Kelce in Madison Square Garden today, in a blowout wedding featuring some 1,000 friends and family, many of them Hollywood celebrities.
Indeed, Swift voiced her support for gun control after the February 14, 2018, Parkland shooting and donated to March for Our Lives.
Nolte: Out-of-Touch James Gunn Forgot His ‘Supergirl’ Audience Is Normal Guys
Hollywood’s obsession with ignoring the science when it comes to the male and female sexes is what has killed so many of these once-bulletproof franchises
‘Hellbrew of Hate’: The New Relevance of Cold War Anti-Communist Movies
These movies aren’t bad. In fact, many of them are great.
This was the thought I had in 2024, when I attended the American Film Institute’s series “Fabulous 50s.” The series highlighted American movies from the 1950s. There were classics screened: Ben-Hur. Carmen Jones, A Streetcar Named Desire. The Night of the Hunter, Singin’ in the Rain, and my favorite, Sweet Smell of Success.
Nolte: ‘Supergirl’ Is a Super Flop All Over the Globe
Supergirl didn’t just flop at the box office this weekend; it is a flop of epic proportions, an abysmal failure that will be remembered only as a failure.
With a disastrous $38 million domestic opening and an even more humiliating overseas take of $30 million, Supergirl is a bigger domestic flop than The Marvels ($46 million), The Flash ($55 million), Black Adam ($67 million), and Morbius ($39 million).
Being Rachel Zegler is a bad career move Miss Alcock.
‘The Odyssey’ Star Elliot Page Goes Full Groomer in Message to ‘Trans Youth’: ‘There Nothing Wrong With You’
‘The Odyssey’ star Elliot Page — formerly known as Ellen Page — has delivered a message of consolation to “trans youth” everywhere by pledging, “there’s nothing wrong with you.”
Suffergirl
I didn’t intend to see Supergirl. I knew it would be infantile, dark, and woke — three of my biggest kryptonite rocks — and I had a book to finish, already late due to a medical trauma. But a critic buddy called me with an extra screening pass, and I wanted to see him. Now, the reason he had a ticket for me tells you all you need to know about the box-office prospects for Supergirl, and the mentality of Hollywoke, what’s left of it.
Nolte: Critics Slam ‘Supergirl’ as ‘Rotten’ — We‘re All Sexists Now!
With 141 reviews in, the critical consensus is that Supergirl is plain ole’ rotten, with just a 58 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes.
While that number will fluctuate as more reviews come in, it will only fluctuate by a few points either way.
Nolte: Mixed Early Reviews and Dreadful Box Office Predictions Haunt ‘Supergirl’
Early reviews for Supergirl are decidedly mixed in an entertainment universe where early reviews, even for a piece of garbage, are almost always gushing and ecstatic.
And the movie’s box office prospects aren’t looking much better.
She’s this year’s Rachel Zegler.
62% of White People Have Unplugged From Pop Culture
Stunning numbers from the CNN/SSRS poll I mentioned earlier.
“Which best describes your approach to following pop culture and entertainment, such as music, movies, TV shows, books or celebrities?”
Only 10% said that they “frequently seek out the latest in pop culture”
Another 30% said “I follow major developments in pop culture, but don’t seek them out”.
We don’t need some bigoted gatekeeper’s permission to be white, black or even green.
No one is afraid of being called “right wing”, “hateful” or “racist” anymore for simply standing up for the rights and best interests of their families and friends.
The entertainment industry shot itself in the head lecturing its audience with woke BS no one wants to consume.
Variety documents the self-inflicted economic collapse of Hollywood. The article discusses the hair-brained notion of a Federal tax to support the tone deaf entitled residents of LaLaLand.
Hollywood’s Mass Exodus: Why Film and TV Production Is Fleeing L.A. and What Can Be Done About It
Nolte: Hollywood Wants People It Hates to Pay for Federal Tax Credits
Even though Hollywood hates, denigrates, smears, insults, and dismisses half the country as ignorant, backwards racists, this failing industry is so desperate for more corporate welfare that there’s a serious push to give the hateful bigots in Hollywood a federal tax credit.
