Well, maybe the gays will like it. That leaves 98% of people who won’t.

I read that in the UK movie industry today you can’t get funding unless you have significant roles for minorities in the film. It doesn’t matter if it makes no sense to the story you still have to do it if you want the money. I guess its the same in Hollywierd. My question is, “Is there that large enough of a minority audience out there that needs to be appealed to? Is it all for show? If so it seems to a thin thread to hang a multimillion investment on!”.

With a recession coming, some one(s) with a lot of money to waste. . . . .

It’ll get an NC-17 rating because of the scene where they lube up the Tin Man.

“Socioeconomic communities”. And here, I thought we were all one. So complicated!! In the future, will I need different atm cards depending on which “socioeconomic” community I’m in?

Can tell you now, I wouldn’t spend a millisecond of my time or a nickel of my money watching this utter trash. There is no need to smear perversion over a beautiful classic, but the amoral soulless libtard filth just has to paper over anything nice with their venal dung.

When you say "bomb," I am reminded of my jokes about "The Curtis LeMay School of Film making."

The only straight women are likely to be the Wicked Witches. And maybe the Wizard will be "non-binary."

The current one is good and wholesome. That’s why the left wants to destroy you it.

FWIW I think the original is only so so. Liked it a bit as a kid because there wasn’t much out there for fantasy, but really never thought it was all that great.

It's worth the whole film just to see and hear Judy Garland sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

The wizard will turn the cowardly lion I to a sex slave, and the Tin Man will end up as a vibrator.

well.. then it will fail miserably.

Eventually these morons will remember that making movies in a business and not a social program.

Until they do, they will keep losing money on crap like this.

Except TWOO was written at the turn of the century. It reflected the “trust buster” mindset of the times.
