The wife and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean and we had to keep nudging each other to stay awake. What a turd of a movie.

20 years ago now, a reviewer said, “Who wants to go to the theater? You could be surrounded by murderers, rapists, or smellies.” Haha.

In the ‘50s, boys had a crush on Penny from Sky King. In the ‘60s, they had a crush on Penny from Lost in Space. I guess now, they have a crush on Penny from The Big Bang Theory. LOL.

No surprise. The first movie was good in the Pirates’ franchise. The rest were ridiculous. And have you seen the trailer for Baywatch? If the movie is what the trailer portends, then I'm not surprised.

Gaurdians was good - in fact better than the first.

Face it, the US movie industry sucks. Rarely is a quality movie produced. One can scroll through the movies at Netflix, Amazon Prime, Showtime, HBO et al. Complete garbage.

I bet liberal Hollywood is confused by someone like her. They can't really go after her without coming off anti-Semitic.

Why would anyone pay to see a movie about a bunch of swells running around in swimsuits on a beach when you can stay at home and watch Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas in a detective thriller from 1950? - ( that's just an example)

Hollywood has collapsed because the idea people have been replaced by the selfie generation- no new ideas - just regurgitating pablum from TV and back to burying their snot noses in Facebook

How did he become an actor? He’s bad. Really bad. He is as bad as Arnold with none of the cheese.

Little Dewayne can kiss my butt. He could’ve just let it go and no one would’ve thought anything of his association with UA, but instead he chose to go out of his way to distance himself from the CEO of Under Armour and to snub Trump. The CEO’s comments were harmless, anyway. Just something like he thought Trump’s ideas would be good for business. That was it. And for that Little Dewayne had to distance himself. Someone needs to knit that wuss a pink hat!

He lost my respect for good. It’s a shame, too, since there are so few in Hollywood who aren’t cuckified.

Frankly, I enjoy staying home and either Freeping or watching alt-right Youtube videos (e.g. Sargon of Akkad, Infowars, etc.). They are all addictive — and edifying.

People were always a little ashamed of liking Baywatch.

It was throwaway TV, so crowds weren't going to rush to see the movie.

I don't think it's a big disaster, though.

They'll make back their investment, but salaries (and expectations) should have been lower.

Wife and I went to the movies this weekend. $8.50 for the small popcorn. Why bother?

Hollywood has run out of ideas.
Their ‘creativity’ now comes from a computer keyboard and their originality is non-existent......................
