The Woketards have destroyed the Charlie’s Angels franchise, just like they did Ghostbusters, Terminator, and Men in Black.
We now have four lucrative franchises that were originally created to appeal to everyone — men, women, young, old… Then the strident feminists goosestepped in, took over, and abused their power to exclude men, demean men, humiliate and mock men. And each time, the result is the same: box office catastrophe, the death of a golden goose franchise.
Based on a dismal opening night, and the fact that at the first screening of Charlie’s Angels in my local theater I was the only person there (something that hasn’t happened to me in 30 years), it seems safe to predict director-screenwriter Elizabeth Banks has doomed her Angels to box office oblivion.
...
Charlie’s Angels isn’t about fun. Instead, it’s about cheap, unearned cheer moments, about preaching to a choir that hasn’t smiled since Anita Hill was proven a liar.
And then there’s the movie’s opening scene where Androgynous Bisexual Angel (Kristen Stewart) kicks a sexist pig’s ass while lecturing us about how “Women can do anything.” Soon she’s joined by Diversity Hire Angel (Ella Balinsk). Although together they weigh less than 89 pounds, both are able to take down more than a dozen 200 pound bodyguards.
This $55 million piece of exhausting garbage delivers 119 minutes of insufferable GRRRRRL power cheese… And other than one somewhat clever scene involving a wig, nothing works. Forget the ham-handed man-hating… Nothing, and I mean nothing works.

I have seen plenty of obscure and forgotten movies but that is a new one to me.
That should be excellent Rifftracks material.
TV Commercials are worse than the movies. ALL men are idiots in current commercials.
The commercials what really surprise me are the ones which portray their customers as idiots of the "Here, hold my beer..." class.
“Thor will be played by Natalie Portman . . .”
Makes as much sense as trying to reboot “Designing Women” with Hans and Franz in drag.

Men will go to see attractive women doing things.
What the LGBT's in Hollywood don't seem to understand about heterosexual men, is that an obviously man-hating woman is unattractive to us, no matter how "attractive" her female friends consider her to be.
Case in point "Ms Marvel".
Jacklyn Smith was more my type :)
I knew they screwed up when they didn’t have a Christmas special even though the Kablam Man episode could have easily been turned into one.
In the process? They finished the job in the last POS version of the Star Wars "franchise", after a good start in number 7. Actually, before that, when Mickey Mouse Movie Studios bought the rights to Star Wars.
Saw "Charlie's Idiots" last night, it was someone else's turn to pick the movie. It killed a couple hours, and it was a kick to see Jacklyn Smith at the end. Otherwise, it was lame, overdone, and couldn't find the right ending, even after the third or fourth time. There were some empty seats at the teen's favorite theater in the area. Not sure what that meant, but I guess today's children don't relate to the old show, and it wasn't a big, CGI-enhanced show with lots of earth-shattering explosions or fiery car crashes.
My choice on Friday was "Ford vs. Ferrari". Had to go to the 4th movie house option to find two seats together that weren't in the front row. It was 30 minutes longer than "Charlie and the Jiggle Brigade", but seemed about an hour shorter. I'd recommend it, doubly so if you are into auto racing.
Thanks for the mention. I agree with your take on it.
Quickly delete your post. Smile...
We watched “Ford Versus Ferrari” today. Son loved it for the cars and humor. Husband and I appreciated it for the engineering, him for the racing history, as well.
Sanctimony gets you nowhere, not even in Hollywood.
PING!
And with Social Media now, they can’t HIDE the fact that the show is PC BS until many, MANY people have seen it.
EVERYONE knows after the FIRST showing what it’s all about politically and that spells DOOM for them.
I’m sorry. I know the way Social Media companies are heading but another one will be created that wants profits and not shut down dissent.
social media has been a GREAT help to our side.
President Trump reaches 65 million, I think, in SECONDS.
And God knows how many people those 65m tell what he said.
