I’m watching “The Offer”, it’s a series that shows how the Godfather was produced, it’s great.

Like they say, this was a movie about “Families”, it was a mega hit, maybe they should go back to that. Oh, and guns and cigarette smoking didn’t seem to detract from the success.

Once people change their patterns of leisure, it is hard to change it back.

Card clubs used to be a big thing for my parents. Now, we have video games on line.

Same with this. We used to watch a lot of movies. The most recent one was Maverick, which I enjoyed a lot but was not a “great” movie.

Yeah, It’s A Wonderful Life is pretty out and out propaganda done VERY well.

The success of the new Top Gun might have been the tipping point.

That is a catchy little pubic hair jingle though. They even worked in a little social justice theme. And the dancing pubic hairs - marketing genius.

And on the opposite side, I purchase nearly ALL products advertised on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom. Also the products advertised on One America News, The First and Real America’s Voice. Often times these products are more expensive than the generic brands, but I buy them ONLY because they advertise on patriot networks.

I know it’s not “entertainment”, but I just walked by a huge display of homo Oreos. I thought we only had to endure that nonsense in June.

Exactly. It’s like a money laundering scheme to fund bad stuff without having to declare on taxes.

“advertisers have already moved on to online and mobile phone mediums.”

I looked in to Patriot Mobile because the were a sponsor of CPAC. The only Android phone was the Google brand.

Nope!

Tubi is a free movies website that offers religious movies under its “Faith” category.

From the article: It is unlikely that they will be able to win back audiences anytime soon, if ever.

The success of the new Top Gun might have been the tipping point.

This right here. Top Gun Maverick showed that there is a LARGE appetite for entertainment that appeals to "normal" Americans.

Some people reach for the stars. Hollywood reaches for the sewer.

I find myself watching old movies. Some are quite good, e.g. All Quiet on the Western Front, 1930, which is a masterpiece.

When my children turn on a recent movie (21st century and a little earlier) it's garbage. I have a hard time getting through it. They are so predictable, so banal and vulgar, and so mind-numbingly boring.

I made a rule that anything that violates my sense of taste will be switched off. That happened a few times, and now they know better than to switch it on.

In fact my boy, 14 years old, instinctively fast-forwards sex scenes when they show up.

I have not been to a movie theatre in years--with one exception: Where the Crawdads Sing. I had read the book and liked it very much. I checked out the parental advisories and took my wife and children. It follows the book rather well (I hate it when Hollywood, in its usual banality, decides to improve on a winner). It's a good movie.

My regional bank just got bought by a larger regional bank.

The demographics of people who actually use these banks is heavily white—probably 95%+.

The first big picture in the literature the new bank sent out in its general information package.

A black baby.

They are not trying to replace whites.

Nope.

;-)

Amid all the stories of dying newspapers and magazines and declining viewership for television news, Right of center news is booming. Look no further than the Daily Wire, the Daily Caller, the Epoch Times, Tim Pool, Podcast of the Lotus Eaters (Sargon of Akkad) and on and on. Positively booming.

Its the same story in movies and TV. Netflix, Disney, Time-Warner, they’ve been getting crushed. Meanwhile right of center or just traditional minded entertainment startup companies have been doing quite well and are growing.

Its probably too late for the likes of CNN or CBS/ABC/NBC to ever recover. Their credibility is completely shot with audiences. Its probably not yet too late for the entertainment companies to get audiences back if they would drop the woke BS but unless they do a U-turn, it will get to the point that more conservative entertainment companies will have too much of a foothold in the market to be stopped - just like in the news business.

Yep. I believe in punishing my enemies.

I no longer buy coke products.
I will never again buy a gillete razor.

I don’t buy anything from Massachusetts - even guns.

I will never fly with American or Delta again.

I don’t buy anything from Amazon.

I go out of my way to avoid using or doing business with Google.

I have bought my last Apple phone.

There are a whole lot of tech companies I go miles out of my way to avoid.

I don’t watch pro sports.

I switched away from AT&T and will never go back.

The list goes on. There are two sides to a culture war.
They seem to have forgotten that.

No doubt at least half of everything put out by Hollywood is for propaganda purposes. From what I have read that started back in the 50s.

Who are the gate keepers on content production

Homosexuals

No question

I’m binge watching Animal Kingdom which is nasty and sort of makes one feel guilty like watching porn

You can tell queers are the ones formulating the plots and arcs

Heavily laden with a homo and his missteps

Some gratuitous

Much more nudity of women than men

The hetero sex is always no foreplay and fast and kind of rough or BJs

Fags don’t get how men and women do it

The queer scenes however are of course often tender and loving

I think Hollywood is at least a third queer at decision or screenwriting levels

If at all possible, I do not financially support businesses that push this racist black supremist agenda with their fake reality of the racist & violent feral animal cult.

It’s certainly indicative of the evil managing these businesses.

The western oligarchs hate us—and they are beginning to get more open about it.

I just saw some liberal think tank type (Pew) on CSPAN talking about “changing demographics” and saying that the natives are getting restless because “maybe we moved too quickly”.

But—they concluded that it did not matter, that “the cake was already baked” and white people were &^%$ed.

Their version of “democracy” is where they rule and we sit down and shut up.
