When Hollywood makes a movie these days then the whole point of the movie is to push their agenda.

No Thanks.

Thanks.

I’ve heard of the Pitch Perfect movies.

Saw ads for a TV series based in them or related.

This industry is ripe for replacement, even more so than 1970’s American Auto Companies.

I'll use this thread about a crappy movie to mention a good movie that I saw last night.

Ford v Ferrari

No "wokeness". No SJW nonsense. No token pandering. Just real men being real men driving really fast cars in the mid 1960s. Real men who love their sons and are married to loyal wives who support them.

Yes, it features Matt Damon playing Carroll Shelby but if you can get past that, it's a great film, the way Hollywood used to make them.

Maybe Hollywood needs Harvey to go back to pre screening the talent...Too soon?

Too many of the remakes are just mimics of the original — similar script, similar plots, similar catch-phrases and spoken lines, etc. The same with series movies.

Where they cannot come up with new originality, they gloss over with supposed-to-impress computer generated graphics.

If anything shows a modicum of success, the industry floods us with mimics and rehashes.

Looks like Ford vs. Ferrari (just opened) will do well. I’m sure A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood will do great.

Puberty and Charlie's angels both hit it's stride at the same time. I remember both very well.(Snicker, snicker)

Never heard of it but in my research of it, came up with a intriguing episode of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 I might try...

Thanks for the head’s up on that. I automatically assume with any new movie political correctness is first and foremost and a good story is an accidental byproduct. Glad this is still not always the case, I’ll probably see it.

Two words: Kristen Stewart.

Can’t act. Dumb as a bag of hammers.

From IMDB comments: “So instead of a cop, a con man and a rich genius of the 1980s hit, they have a lesbian, a Muslim and a minority.”

Oooooof course. Rolling eyes.

Didn’t even know they were making a Charlie’s angels reboot.

Seems like th studio knew this was a bomb and didn’t spend a dollar on marketing
