I had plans to see "Are you there God" it's me, Margaret"

"Then again, Maybe I won't"

The theory used to be that these corporations simply were woke because they were afraid of losing money but for some reason they’re simply continuing to rush into the controversy even if they don’t have to after its been proven to be a money loser.

Our movie is failing

What to do?

Let’s double down on failure and hire a psychopath tranny to promote it.

Yeah. That will do the trick.

A 99 percent critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes is probably a red flag for any movie, and in this case not a lot of people are going to pay money about a girl’s puberty anywhere — let alone in New Jersey.

Times are bad and the future is in doubt. People want to escape, have fun, and put aside their cares for awhile. Especially as summer approaches. Movies like that with woke promotion won’t bring people out to see them.

It was a good book for its time. Did the studio turn it into trash?

Audience or critic score? Audience scores are the real ones.

Judy, you once mattered.

Now, you are a distant version of the person who everyone could enjoy.

What’s that definition of insanity attributed to Einstein?

Something about doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results?

Kinda reminds of 1988, and the introduction of ‘Big Top, Pee-Wee’....one of the five worst movies of the year and 80 minutes of zero-plot.

Somewhere there is a Babylon Bee author throwing his brilliant satire into the trash as reality passes it by.

Do junior high school girls still read this book, or did the producers just try to dig up something that was popular 40 years ago?

“Do junior high school girls still read this book, or did the producers just try to dig up something that was popular 40 years ago?”

As you say, Judy Blume was all the rage among the 10-13 year-old girl-crowd when I was in school 40+ years ago. Aside from the “Fudge” books which were harmless, she was this “edgy” hippy author tantalizing the ‘tweens with more risque content than what they were getting from other authors.

I don’t think she’s popular now. I’ve never heard young family members in that age range talking about her or reading her books. She’s passe at this point.

Yup, they piss off the 99 per centers to appease one per cent. Sadly, you can’t fix stupid.

And the idiots at Lionsgate think the remedy for a failing movie is to hire a nut job like Mulvaney, who thinks it’s a woman, to promote it? That will likely have just the opposite effect that they want.
