If Cuties and other similar programming over the years didn’t do that, why would this?
I despise the race swapping.
Now the Little Mermaid is a POC in the woke live person remake.
A “problem” with this is that I bet a lot of Egyptians and their “adjacents” are doing the low rating. Too many white people are too cowardly and in-the-tank with this woke crap to even downvote something on netflix in relative anonymity. And if you have any doubts with what I say, go to reddit.com, if you dare.
I laugh at the people getting worked up over this junk.
First, this is old news. Second, their woke programming crap has been hurting them for a couple of quarters. Third…it’s entertainment. If you don’t like it, don’t pay for it.
The pandemic is over. All of these streaming channels that were behaving like it was the heyday of HBO in 1980 are learning what the cable companies learned in the 1990s: you can have a billion channels but there has to be something on them to watch. People are going outdoors. People are not tied to their TVs. Crap programming is going to kill them.
The only error with Liz Taylor as Cleopatra is that the original Cleo is supposed to have been not good-looking, but had enough other skills to keep adversaries at bay.
Jada Pinkett Smith...is she the one with the bad hair?
I’ve never seen a Greek woman who looked anything like Elizabeth Taylor...
Last week, Netflix received public backlash for its planned premiere of the French film Cuties. The promotional poster for the film showed underage girls posing seductively in risqué outfits. Netflix has had a problem with pedophiliac programming for years. Back in 2018, Netflix premiered an Argentinian film called Desire that included a scene of child pornography involving girls under the age of 10. At the time, the news site PJ Media reported the film to the FBI and Department of Justice. The film included a depiction of a child masturbating.
I re-watched the 1963 film recently with my children and was deeply delighted to be reminded of what a truly great movie it really is.
The 1963 film is:
- Beautifully acted, showing a real decline in Antony, the complexities of the Queen, and much about what made Julius such an important figure,
- Magnificently costumed and designed,
- Quite accurate, to my knowledge, in for instance then Battle of Actium,
- Best of all, a true spectacle of a film!
As an added great, NO CUSS WORDS and PLENTY sexy despite lack of nudity or anything that might make it inappropriate for children.
It is a triumph and worth a long watch with family and friends, FRiends!

I’m a fan of Isaac Asimov and The Foundation Trilogy (+). When Apple TV announced a Foundation series I was thrilled. Unfortunately, predictably, they ruined it with woke rewrites. I turned it off after 20 minutes.
Anyone else wondering if Hollyweird now exists to launder money for Deep State...

If Netflix wanted to be woke, they should have gone with Halle Berry.
The Critical Drinker took a flame thrower to this.
In another historical first, the TV series “Queen Charlotte” features 2 black women. Young Charlotte - India Amarteifio & Older Charlotte - Golda Rosheuvel
Is there any historical figure that is not Black?
What else would anyone expect from a racist idiot like Jada Pinkett Smith anyway?
I cancelled Netflix after 20 years when the said you could no longer share your password. With three household off one account it was almost worth it. Now I get weekly e-mails’ begging me to come back.
Luckily, the art of the time was incredibly realistic. This was a period before Christianity moved the art world into a symbolic style that wrecked naturalism for centuries to come. Egyptian art had its own stylistic periods, like the portraits from the Akhenaten period.
