I saw the new movie "Civil War" so you don’t have to. You’re welcome, and you owe me. Fifteen years ago this month, I started writing for the legendary Andrew Breitbart at Big Hollywood, where we drew attention to the increasing wokeness of Tinseltown. That’s why I saw this movie – to see if Hollywood had learned any lessons. I think it did, but it learned the wrong lessons.
Spoiler alert—it’s a bad movie, and you don’t want to see it. I’m going to tell you some of what happens, but you shouldn’t care because, if you’re smart, you’re going to listen to me and not spend money on it.
The problem with "Civil War" isn’t its point of view, to the extent it has one. Now, you can tell that, beneath the surface, it has a generic left-wing orientation. The bad guy president is vaguely Trumpy. He’s a straight white male, of course. In fact, every single villain is a straight, white male. None of the major heroes is a straight, white male. You can make movies where the villains are straight, white males, and where none of the heroes are straight, white males, but it’s now a woke Hollywood cliche to make all the villains straight, white males, and none of the heroes straight, white males. You can’t unsee it. Rural white guy? Definitely a villain. Black woman? Hero!

I was actually looking forward to this movie.
I was ‘hoping’ that it would not be what it is.
It’s “Red State” without the religious theme aspect............
If a civil war of sorts does come, it won’t follow a Hollywood script.
In woke Hollywood,
<><>a rural white guy is definitely a villain.
<><>a Black woman is a Hero!
<><>but make the Black hero gay, and you get an Academy Award
That’s right.
black lesbians will rule the world
according to identity politics
It’s almost as if it’s formulaic or something.
Me too.
Not any more.

Gotta wonder how any Freeper could think that this movie would turn out to be anything other than leftist trash. We’re supposed to know better.
Hahahahahaha!
Open April 11:

It’s a stinker.
Hmmm... my only good thought about ‘journalists’ in war zones is the ones that get offed. Journalists aren’t ‘heroes’ and shouldn’t be lauded and lamented with they get caught where they shouldn’t be. If anything, if you’re going to embed them in the action, it should be with mortuary units.
This guy wants to write about a terrible movie, so he writes a terrible article.
Hollywood isn't formulaic. You're thinking of Formulaic II through Fast & Formulaic
Yep
Ulysses S. Grant was a Black lesbian tranny homo.
Would not surprise me if the guys in the back room ordered the woke formula.

When they paired California and Texas on one side I knew the people making this movie does not understand America.
Texas and Florida yes. California, Oregon and Washington yes. But California and Texas never.
One cannot tell a story about war with unreal elements.
Wokeness is as "unreal" as it gets.
