So, this is my pet peeve. More and more movies are trying to be "diverse" and have a woman or some minority as the main character. Moreover, white males tend to be depicted as either dumb or just the puppy who follows the powerful woman around.
They think we can't see through the propaganda, but it's really obvious.
They ruined Star Wars in the name of wokeness.
Another example is Game of Thrones. The author even admitted that he's a feminist.
Ok, you're a feminist. Great. We don't give a **** about your opinions, we're just watching the movie/TV show for entertainment purposes. Not for you to try and demonstrate your wokeness.
Movies are being ruined in the name of "open-mindedness." I even heard something about a female Thor.
OMG - the PC of the entertainment world is just ridiculous! Yes, black people now get most of the leading roles. Commercials are a joke! I was watching a show the other night and all the criminals were young white guys and the cops and detectives were black. hahahaha ... Ya gotta have a black person WITH a white person ... Now there are more black people in a show than white ones. Good profession for black people to go into now. Im surprised they have not cancelled the good dr show - oops - a young white dr.

It's at the point now I can't stand to watch TV because of all the blatant in your face pandering to blacks, queers and wierdos. If I were black I'd actually be pissed off to be taken for such a simple minded fool.
Every TV show, every commercial has to not be just "diverse" but anti-white. Now they're coming out with a black Superman. One of my personal favs is in every movie set medieval Europe there are blacks everywhere lol!

My wife and I tried to watch
Bridgerton and turned it off in disgust! It's too damn PC for us to waste our time watching. Even Chicago PD is getting too PC for me.

Netflix's diversity/anti-white agenda is so transparent it's laughable. well sort of. :sneaky:
I admit I watched a newer TV show that starred a lefty.
:huh:
Ok but what about that they want black James Bond 007?
Btw. There's been another attack on the Capitol. We will never forget about the election fraud and illegitimate president you have at the White house.

:popcorn: we got rid of our TV in 1988, the commercials were too insulting, not even funny, just insulting images, even after turning the sound down.
So. Korea has easily passed Hollywood in good movies - even if you need to read the subtitles, there's some good acting & drama... and martial arts stuff.
:popcorn: we download them, watch them later. :popcorn:
I think it was "My Wife is a Gangster" got us started, there's a couple of sequels, also funny.
"Shaolin Soccer" - stupid funny, subtitles...
Just do a search for Korean Movies, if you don't mind reading, or dubbing, they're way better than anything from Hollywood.
The other search that's turned up some GREAT ... old movies, many B/W ... the old British movies, WW2 era. Some really good acting, dialogue, patriotic, and intrigue - if you like espionage, with all the plot twists.
Sounds like we're not missing anything from TV...
This thread really belongs in the ENTERTAINMENT section.
I want to ADD something, maybe it sounds "out there" or "???".
We have a media server for the house, all the projectors are tied into it. We can pull up any movie in seconds, and watch uninterrupted by commercials, pause when we get a phone call, or someone wants to pop some fresh :popcorn: and boy, do we eat a LOT of popcorn here! :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:
We started DLing everything because our internet connection SUCKED with slowness. I'm really GLAD we've been doing that for over 10 years, DLing right off of Youtube. Some of those movies have >poof< vanished into bit-land... maybe they'll be posted again, maybe there was some copy write violation, or, maybe they're too PC-incorrect for Google who owns Youtube...? When I see some "topic" I wish to check out, I DL as many as I can find.
If a colorized release shows up - I grab it. A higher resolution 720 vs 480, I'll replace the lower rez version. We started putting the (year) into the titles, and the server is well segmented, sometimes by actor, topic, events - like "Hitchcock" or "SPY-Espionage" or "Modern Marvels" or "World War 2". Just easier to find what you're in the mood for.
If we buy a Bluray/DVD, we rip to an MP4 and put it on the server, the disk goes into storage, in case we need to rip it again. Sometimes, we discover... opps, there's subtitles for a foreign language, we forgot to rip - just go back and do it again. MP4 seems to work good for compression, keeping the files small & still giving good playback.
With PC all around us, and books like Dr. Suess being cancelled - I think these Patriotic, pro-America, WW2 flicks are being eyed with contempt by the likes of Google. If they cannot EDIT them, it's just a matter of time.. they'll quietly vanish into Bit-land forever.
Same goes for BOOKS - We look at our library, massive by most households - book cases in every room of the house, yes, including the bathroom... Calvin & Hobbes or the Bathroom Reader. Our library covers the classics, history, religious topics, encyclopedias (3 sets), craft books, animal husbandry, fix-it books, finance, family, education, farm & gardening. When we look at them - it's really rare to find a book that's "dated" or "useless" material. When the kids open one up, they're glued to it for an hour or more.
Really - seriously, there are some really good authors & movies in that old stuff, before CGI, before TV, before Radio, some really good writing ... and they're economy in the use of words - well, I suck at! :blink:
Ever notice...?
Before 1970, movies, TV shows, etc. frequently contained the message, "Crime does not pay."
The message was often stated explicitly in the dialogue.
Since 1970, "entertainment" programs' storylines often embody the message, "Look what I got away with!"
It started in movies, then crept into television.
That's the result of leftists controlling Hollywood.
Not a movie, but the TV series "APB" deservedly went down in flames after one season. It was filled with obvious, stale, unimaginative appeals to the wokels.
I long ago stopped watching TV, ad have't bee to a movie in over a decade. I've started again with TV once some of the free movie channels run the old series. One of My Fav's is Crime story set in the 60's with Dennis Farina, who was a real chicago cop. Another is "brotherhood, set in Boston, shows a lot of dem corruption.

The propaganda in movies mimics propaganda in the news and commercials as well. It's so blatant any 6th grade student with half a brain can recognize it.
I am not a sexist, homophobe, racist, or a xenophobe. Do I enjoy seeing people in situations or acting in ways on the screen which are not realistically represented as in real life as a means to push abnormality to normality, or to simply create scenarios to desensitize people and groom them for a desired change in the perception of normal? To reach their goal of changing our society to meet their political agenda? That is not entertainment, but it's a systematically planned brainwashing tool force fed to all. And an insult to a thinking person's intelligence.
Does the producer find the best actor to play the President, or that doctor who just bought his spouse a new luxury car for Christmas and surprised that person in front of their multi-million dollar home? No. The producer found the best non-white, the best homosexual, or the best lesbian. It was done on purpose for a reason. It had nothing to do with the product or a likely situation. Don't force feed me ideologies. When was the last time you saw a commercial without mixing races? Almost never. I'd rather see random, real life situations.
No, I hate it. I hate "counter culture". This is what is happening in movies today, and it filters into the minds of our society.
The propaganda is no less effective than that which was fiendishly created by the Nazi, Joseph Goebbels in his quest to vilify the Jews.

Well said UD.
Theatrics should be to imitate reality, pick fun at it, expose the absurdity of life, but those days ended when actual communists flashed cash, bought people, bribed them with their sins, blackmailed them.
Now these people are owned by the very sins the commies exploit, think Epstein, then think there are hundreds just like him out there luring the morally weak into their traps.
Be it an extramarital affair, to sex with children, these commies bought and own Hollyweird. This is why the left hates Conservatives, we are nothing like them, we don't fall so easily, we know the line between vice and slave and avoid temptation.
Caligula had nothing on our modern day leftists, at least Caligula used the sport to eliminate them and the public loved it, but again, without morals and convictions, the lust for blood only grew, a line we will have to watch for, if and when we bring back public executions.

Of course it's the plan, that's why you have to fight and not fall into their trap. I'm a Culturalist, I destroyed my racism decades ago, when my closest friends were elderly black men.

Well played, Solar. In reference to Caligula, the cliff by his home would come in handy for a few "special" democrats. And as far as public executions go, yes, there is a reason Singapore has one of the lowest crime rates per capita of any country.
I heard on Law and Order they are going to have an episode where a black guy kills another black guy. Pure fantasy i know. It never happens in real life.

It's just a guess, but quite possibly rather than being transformed into a racist, you, like me, are becoming disgusted with the actions and verbiage coming from the preponderance of a race.
To me, there are simply malevolent and benevolent people. Some races do happen to have more of one than the other when looking at percentages. When I witness the looting, violence and hate for law coming from the black race, I feel badly for the benevolent of the race which they absolutely do not represent.
I had very special friends and co-workers during my 24 years of military service who were black, as well as Hispanic and native American. We all would have taken a bullet for one another, and although we saw color, it was never an obstacle. It sickens me to know that some of those very good people are looked upon with disdain because of the actions of others.

I'm not saying bring back Caligula, but striking fear in the hearts of commies would go a long way in quelling this bull shit.
I'm dumbfounded by all those in Portland and Seattle sitting and cowering. Hell, if that were my home, the police would be busy investigating sniper attacks and commie deaths..

What it it doing is making us angry and be hateful. It isn't racism. We do not hate them for the color of their skin. We hate them for the content of their character. We have legit reasons to hate BLM, black celebrities like Lebron, and black politicians like Obama.
If you notice, most prominent lefties are White. The same ones giving corporate money to BLM, running shotgun in the media/social media/entertainment, and politicians allowing BLM to riot with immunity.

There's an old, obese white man who sits in his chair at the main intersection of our small town, holding a BLM sign with their yellow and blue logo...waving at people as they drive by.
A conservative older lady walked up to him and slapped him in the face, and she was arrested for assault. She's got more moxie than I do. The old man is promoting a hateful, racist, subversive organization by what he does. Someday I'd like to know how he feels about the organization telling white folks to give up their homes to them, and the threat "We're coming for your homes."
In regard to that, I would highly enjoy rewarding any of them with a special gift if they dared take over my home.
If they feel froggy, why don't they jump?

There are MORE black people because they're used to be NO black people. Just because you see groups other than whites, in movies, TV, and commercials, doesn't mean they're taking over; they're simply noticeable. Maybe Hollyweird finally figured out that there were all sorts of people in the potential audience. I'm old enough to remember when the secretary on "Mannix" (Gloria Foster) was considered a "breakthrough". There used to be jokes about how Woody Allen used to make movies about "Manhattan" that had no one non-white in them. Perhaps the point that has been made, that Liberals are fixated on racism, because of projection, has merit.
Well. Let blacks take over hollywood and finish its descent into corruption and bankruptcy just like black mayors ruin cities. I don't care. Some director came out just last week and said that film is dead/Hollywood is dead. What are these fools gonna do now.
There is 13% population of Blacks in the US last i heard. They want to be represented. Now they're over represented. Most of them don't want recognition, they want domination.
Saw SpIke Lee Commercial today pushing digital $$$. Tiny print at the bottom warned against the reliability...quickly went away.
1 in 6 Americans are black. Take a look at current TV shows and commercials. I guarantee that you will find a much higher ratio of blacks then is in the population. AND try and find black villains. Which is even more telling.

Same with gays now. They make up like less than 1% of society (tho that is 'increasing' as its become cool to be gay or at least Bi), yet almost every mainstream show or movie has at least one gay if not a gay couple or two.

I have left Hallmark channel for this reason. Mainly because they hold up the innocence of romance in their stories. No sex between the lead characters and any kissing is simple sweet kisses. If you want me to believe that you hold up the purity of love then don't try to shove the gay agenda on to me.
Towards the end of my watching their channel I would DVR a movie and the moment they went with the gay relationship I would stop and delete the rest of the movie. Sad some of my favorite actors/actresses were on Hallmark. Toy

Obviously you missed all those police dramas, based in cities, where the villain is almost always a minority. As for commercials, they produce them when they believe they have an audience to gain. Since normally surveys are done before they're put before the public, obviously, the advertising firms believe there is someone out there to appeal to. Contrary to a belief held by some, blacks are not all poor and/or criminals and/or living in inner-city ghettos.
