Guess what. Women don’t like that “woke” shyt either. Aside from the tiny percentage of total loons.

[RedMonqey]

(Snicker, snicker)

[RedMonqey]

Of course.

[reg45]

If I want to see a really good movie I watch TCM (I do miss Robert Osborn’s commentary though).

[EdnaMode]

Haha. I bet that would have gone over well. :D

[jmacusa]

I agree. Hollywood has become a grotesque parody of itself. It's Norma Desmond wandering through her cavernous and empty mansion dreaming of past glories and waiting for her close up.

All of the ladies from the original run of Charlie’s Angels have more presence then those in the new show.

I always liked the end of the original Charlie’s Angels show where Charlie is surrounded by women in bikinis or slinky outfits. Many even better looking then the Angels.

[jmacusa]

Wow. Does this bring back memories. Real emotional . Man, that America vanished.

[TigerClaws]

Kristen Stewart can’t act and can’t wear short hair. It many women can get away with short hair and still be pretty. It exposes Kristen’s prominantbjaw and underbite. Buck teeth. Now she has that lesbian vibe manly thing as well. Just not attractive.

The other two are also not hot.

But i guess it’s the fault of men they can’t make a good movie?

[wally_bert]

It’s a cult classic of a sort.

Don’t expect too much.

[wally_bert]

How many Giga-Lawfords would that rate?

[cyberstoic]

Interesting Picture. Pretty girls. Tiny arms and delicate hands. The kind that would break easily when they strike a man’s jaw. Am I suppised to take seriously this pic of bad a$$ females. They wouldn’t last 5 seconds in a real fight. I am sick of seeing this vision in films being sold to women who will get seriously hurt trying to take on a man.

The Elizabeth Banks-directed-written and produced pic is also opening in 27 offshore markets, China being one where it’s also bombing, with a $6M two-day take in second place behind local title Somewhere Winter ($8.8M)

Someone in Tinseltown wanted to get rid of Elizabeth Banks.

[Rummyfan]

...Sony’s Charlie’s Angels reboot, which is tanking with a God-awful $8.2M opening, 3 Stars on Screen Engine-Comscore’s PostTrak, and a B+ Cinemascore.

It is going to sink like a stone and will be gone from theaters by the day before Thanksgiving. Even the NYT's reviewer said it was a stinker.

[gogeo]

Everything is boring compared to that.

[Rummyfan]

All of this is primed to further spur a WTF reaction and anxiety among film development executives in town in regards to what the hell exactly works in this have-and-have-not era of the theatrical marketplace.

What works?! Good storytelling with engaging actors performing well. What's so hard about that? But film makers today are more concerned with wokeness. As Louis B Mayer said, 'if you want to send a message, use Western Union.'

[Rummyfan]

Empowerment... as long as they’re young, skinny, and hot!

[alternatives?]

“and he has shacked up with a Mexican woman and her son.”

LOL

[dfwgator]

Two words: Kristen Stewart. Can’t act. Dumb as a bag of hammers.

And a carpet-muncher.

That poster hung in just about every room of my dorm freshman year.
