Went and saw Shrek the Third this past weekend. I had enjoyed the previous two flicks and was willing to give this one a looksey. It is basically the same forumla as the previous two - put Shrek on a journey and play some rock music in the backgroud. The forumula is wearing thin and this movie ranks last out of the three.
Overall, it wasn't that funny. It was too predictable. BUT, THE WORST PART OF THE FILM WAS HOLLYWOOD'S CONTINUAL BRAINWASHING OF OUR KIDS BY PUTTING A TRANSGENDRED CHARACTER IN THE FILM.
For whatever reason the writers/director felt it necessary to put a transgendered princess into the film to play along side Cinderella, Sleepy Beauty and Snow White. Why? Who knows. The character wasn't funny and added nothing to the story. It was just more in-your-face "accept this lifestyle" from Hollywood.
Be prepared to sit down with your kids and explain this character to them. Let them know that it is not ok. Hollywood wants us to brush it aside and not say a word. Silence is acceptance.
The only real problem was that they essentially re-used the script from Shrek 2. The animation is incredible, and points to a near future when we can retire most Hollywood actors and just use animated characters in most films - allowing gifted young filmmakers to do everything on their computers. This may not decrease the level of Leftist propaganda within the films, but at least animated characters aren’t going bash Republicans in their spare time to maintain their “street cred”. ;)
Transgender Ping
The Pink Mafia is desperate to get everyone believing that the abnormal is really normal.
...he-she bar, amorphodite, hermaphrodite, lopadictome, Shrek-Dreck
It was never given a name.
ummmm...he said “princess”
In the second movie, the character is identified as the ugly stepsister. That is the only explanation I feel it is necessary to give my kids. She is just a really, really ugly stepsister.
start your own thread
this one is about he-she’s being the worst part of the film
He had man hands (Seinfield reference) and a man’s voice. All in a muscular female body.
In the second movie (I have not yet seen the third), the king goes into the bar looking for someone to “take care” of Shrek for him. He goes up to the bar and says he is looking for the “Ugly Stepsister”. This character turns around and identifies herself as such. She eventually sends him to Puss in Boots. She has a man’s voice, and she looks like a guy in a dress, I guess, but I just got the feeling they were going for as ugly a woman as possible, and therefore went with a really masculine chick.
If they are pushing the transgender agenda, my kids don’t know it. They just think it’s funny because the chick is so ugly that she has whiskers (she has a constant 5 o’clock shadow, IIRC). I haven’t bothered going further into it, I feel that if I tried bring up the transgender thing, they wouldn’t even get it. They have no experience with it.
Found it.. the character’s name is Doris and Larry King is the voice..
I will say, however, that while I didn’t have to explain the ugly stepsister thing, it was awkward during the second movie trying to explain why Pinocchio was wearing women’s underwear (a thong).
I do not look like A RED X.
