With the now thoroughly disgraced former Congressman and California candidate Gov. Eric Swalwell resigning his seat in Congress and suspending his gubernatorial campaign, the left-wing Hollywood celebrities who were so loudly backing him have all of a sudden gone quiet.
Andy Serkis’s polished animated film changes just enough of George Orwell’s classic allegory to undermine the very lesson that made it endure.
he famous allegory for Stalinism that is Animal Farm is a classic for a reason. One of George Orwell’s most famous works, the story drives home a powerful but straightforward message about the dangers of revolution and how power corrupts.
The new animated film of the same title by Andy Serki doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo.
Talk about a disturbance in the force… That stupid-looking new Star Wars movie hits theaters next month and failed to rank on a list of the ten most anticipated summer movies.
Pretty much every movie scheduled for a summer release beat Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, including the new Insidious and Scary Movie sequels.
As America celebrates faith, military triumph, and space exploration, a woke film industry faces layoffs, lost audiences, and the collapse of its own ideology.
It was a glorious Easter Sunday to wake up to in America, for three reasons. Christ is risen, Navy Seals rescued a downed airman from behind enemy lines in Iran, and U.S. astronauts neared the Moon. But the people in one area, Hollywood, are not celebrating this Easter, also for three reasons. They hate Christians, who worship the first triumph. They despise Trump, who effected the other two. And they’ll probably soon be out of a job.
Hollywood is locked in a death spiral that it may never be able to reverse, a report claims.
The days of La La Land may be numbered with the pressures of how people consume entertainment continuing to undergo massive shifts. And the legacy studio system is struggling to respond and reinvent itself accordingly, especially in the U.S. as productions of movies and TV shows flee California in droves and even increasingly head to other countries looking for far cheaper costs.
Milly Alcock, who stars in the title role of this summer’s upcoming Supergirl movie, is already pre-blaming sexist superhero fans in the event her movie tanks at the box office.
There is honestly no other way to interpret her stupid remarks in Vanity Fair. Her blockbuster movie comes out in June, and she’s already bracing herself for the attacks (that will never come), and comparing what she expects to her experience starring in the HBO Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon.
Another Rachel Zegler!
The real conspiracy is white people.
Like ice hockey and white wine, the X-Files was just too white. Its leads were white which really meant that it was a white supremacist series. Fortunately it’s now being rebooted with non-white leaders for a series no one will watch because they’re a bunch of racists. At least that’s what we’ll be hearing later this year, I assume.
Former Saturday Night Live star David Spade is blasting California Democrats Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for the destruction of the film industry in Hollywood.
Spade spoke of his dismay over the fall of Hollywood during a recent episode of his Fly on the Wall podcast, during which he asserted that said “the Hollywood industry is dying” and that he’s “just trying to put the blame somewhere.”
Only twice before in recorded history have the Oscars attracted fewer viewers. In 2021, only 10.4 million tuned in. Then in 2022, only 16.6 million tuned in.
On Sunday, only 17.9 million tuned in.
Someone likened it to ‘killing the Golden goose,’ and if there was ever anything golden about Los Angeles, it was the glitter of its legendary film industry.
I mean, the celebrity culture and mystique of the movie industry was, next to palm tree-lined boulevards, the association most often made in the average American’s mind when asked what represented Los Angeles to him.
The strident incoherence of Hollywood’s pampered leftists is nothing new but the internet has made it harder to get away with.
The 98th Annual Academy Awards premiered on ABC last night and it was another left-wing awards show hate fest.
Host Conan O’Brien initially opened the show with a funny sketch, offering a brief moment of hope that this ceremony might be different than all the previous ones this season.
This year’s Oscars feel oddly bloodless. Not because there are no good films in the race, but because the ceremony increasingly resembles a formality. As far as the acting awards go, Michael B Jordan looks like a well-deserved shoo-in for best actor, and Jessie Buckley seems nailed on for best actress. Even more contested categories like Best Picture feel like a foregone conclusion. We all suspect that One Battle After Another is going to sweep up the awards. There is no sense that there is a genuine competition going on here.
In his first major sit-down from behind bars, the disgraced mogul fumes about life at Rikers (“I’m dying here”), his wrecked legacy and his delusions about the future (“I will be proven innocent. That I promise you”).
The day before I was to meet Harvey Weinstein, a blizzard dumped a foot of snow on New York, grinding the city to a halt. It seemed like an omen. Waking in my hotel the next morning, I half hoped that Rikers would be closed as well. Then my phone buzzed with a terse email from a prison administrator: “We’re on!” it said.
So, I called an Uber and nervously set off with a cameraman and a trunk full of recording equipment for the short voyage to Rikers, the notorious island facility in Queens where Weinstein has been incarcerated for much of the past six years.
It isn’t too often that conservatives can take a victory lap in the culture war, but Netflix’s announcement that it was abandoning its attempt to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is one of those occasions.
The collapse of the deal marked a rare moment when Washington, Wall Street, the conservative grassroots, and everyday viewers could all stand up and cheer.
Before we get started, I’d like to point out to the useless sycophants in the entertainment media that what I’m doing here is how it’s done.
You see, the news that The Bride! is a super-woke spin on The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and Bonnie and Clyde (1967) has been obvious for some time and became blatantly obvious when the reviews poured in — especially the “positive” reviews, because even the “positive” reviews were “positive” in a grudging and backhanded sort of way.
Pity. I like Maggie Gyllenhaal despite the stench of wokiness that lingers about her.
