I don’t think you have to be woke to criticize how Michael studiously ignores the fact that he was a pedophile. You just have to be aware.

“Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron — they’ll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually changed into something contradictory of what they used to be. “

We’ve seen this many times, it doesn’t make money but it got made and will now be available for decades for schools and educating the young.

A lot of such remakes aren’t counting on an immediate payoff.

A surprise (to me, at least) was that Angel Studios has the distribution rights. Not their usual fare, IMHO.

‘Michael’ Still Defying Woke Critics

I won’t read past that.

Michael Jackson was a pederast. What does being repulsed by him have to do with “wokeness”??

Anti-Capitalist ‘Animal Farm’


Which is basically Pink Floyd’s “Animals” album.

Kind of strange, isn’t it? They gave “Animal Farm” the “1984” treatment.

Regietheater. Just as Heather MacDonald understood 20 years ago about live theater.
