[[Having said all that, I get annoyed by nearly all couples in movies being mixed race now, nearly every romantic scene being gay, gays being in nearly 100% of all movies, and women with no super powers throwing MASSIVE men around like stuffed animals.]]

You listed all the reasons why we don’t even watch modern movies anymore UNLESS we know that none of those things are in the movie. (Although I did like the over-the-top jab on violence movie kill Bill, but that was more,like the old oriental martial arts movies with its over-the-top scenes of impossible feats. Which I don’t mind- it’s when movies try to make it seem realistic that a 90 lb woman can walk into a hells angels bar and whoop everyone in there without breaking a sweat that we don’t care for.)

My wife and I pretty much avoid all new movies and TV shows. There are tons of things to watch that were made before the Woke-ists took over, and we have quite a few on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. In recent years, the last movies I saw theatrically were the remake of Midway, the WWI movie 1917, Avengers Endgame and Darkest Hour (the film about Churchill). We saw Dune Part 1 (liked it) on HBO Max as well as The Batman on HBO Max (didn't particularly care for it).

Over the past couple of weeks we have watched several Hollywood classics, mostly starring Bogart. Earlier this week we watched a classic samurai movie called Harakiri from 1962. There is plenty to watch without wasting our remaining years on woke crap and superhero movies.
