Anyone seen the low budget “Wishmaster” movie series. Well the plot in this movie looks like it came from there.

As awful and dreadful as Hollywood is, they sink to the bottom when they remake old shows or try to re-enact previous historic time periods; especially when some of us were there and coming of age. I expected that movie to have six times the normal woke garbage.

It isn’t new. In the actual year 1984, NBC made a show called “Family Ties” that featured a young protagonist who was supposedly a conservative. So he worshipped Richard Nixon, and never mentioned President Reagan, the immensely popular archetype of real conservatism. The Gipper was going to win 49 states that year. Bottom line is Hollywood just plain sucks.

#5: "The subway existed before WWI."

Anyone who has seen Gary Cooper in Sergeant York will remember Alvin York's fascination when fellow soldier "Pusher" (played by George Tobias) explains to him that subway trains run underground.

Oddly enough, I vaguely recall it. The average doughboy had a pretty good chance of having seen the subway before his AEF unit shipped out to Europe since Europe-bound units departed from three areas, and two of them were part of Greater NYC:

[Since the transport ships needed to bring American troops to Europe were scarce at the beginning, the U.S. Army pressed into service passenger liners, seized German ships, and borrowed Allied ships to transport American soldiers from ports in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia.]

1st 5 or so minutes, the competition scene was good and I had some hopes. Those were crushed in minutes, then stepped on and doused with acid. A top 10 worst movie in my 67 year life.

I prefer Xena, Warrior Princess, even if she does play for the other team...

What? He mentioned Reagan all the time and had a picture of him. Clear those cobwebs.

WW 2020 is so woke that you get surgical gowns, gloves , masks and booties to sit in the theatre. The whole film is so woke it drips out of the ducted AC as it plays.

It took just a few hours to get the full film copied and onto the pirate boards, and noone ( compared to other releases ) is downloading it.

Watch this studio and the rest of hollywood start screaming for Covid relief funding in the Billions to help support the starving actors etc...Again.

As an aside, Howard the Duck was and is an Epic Adult movie that presented huge amounts of social taboos and traditions to help them be thought of.

It was way ahead of it’s time, and what you don’t see in it is PC wokeness.

HD did not go woke, so it remains a cultural classic.

WW and let’s see, oh, Dr Who which they have killed off totally, opps, the doctor is now called by fans globally as Dr. Karen... Go woke, go broke.

Sometimes we just have to call cr*p out for what it is, and people have found that they don’t have to put up with the woke cr*p any longer.

Regards

The movie was just bad on every level. You don’t expect the best acting ever in a superhero movie but this movie... it was just so unbelievably BAD. The story was bad. The characters bad. All the dialog was cringe bad. The plot was incoherent as heck. The villain and ALL the supporting cast including her boyfriend were soulless and terrible to watch and you just wanted to fast forward to the couple of action bits and then turn it off.

The previews were GOOD. It was projecting a 1984 romp version of WW 1917. All they had to do was use the same formula as the first movie and make generous use of the 80’s in the same way Ready Player One did and they would have had a megahit.

I don’t even know what the heck the movie I just watched even was and I agree with the comments about Howard the Duck. It really was working hard at being grouped with it.

The the intro with the game when she was a girl seemed like it was made for a different movie script and budget... then everything got canned and something was salvaged from a dead project.

It just... all of it... everything after the intro was so bad.

“Imagine” is the epitome of leftist hypocrisy-Lennon singing about no possessions while Yoko wheels and deals, and they need an extra room with climate control for all their fur coats. If I wasn’t so inured to leftist hypocrisy that song would chap my azz. But it’s par for the leftist course.
