South Park has NEVER played by the Hollywood rules. Trey Parker and Matt Stone pretty much make fun of EVERYONE and they pull no punches. Their latest special, 'South Park: Joining The Panderverse' can be found on 'Paramount+' and it is taking their hilarious brand of irreverence to another level and it is GLORIOUS!!! WARNING: NSFW Language in the clip. South Park just obliterated Hollywood over their anti-white wokeness pic.twitter.com/kJNBjTRc23 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) October 27, 2023 We are going to give you a little bit of NERD culture in case you have no idea who Kathlene Kennedy is.

Dreams of a world powered by antigravity got quashed by a particle physics today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It turns out that Einstein was right yet again. A recent experiment just proved that antigravity doesn’t exist and we probably won’t ever get to use antimatter to levitate or build a perpetual motion machine or power warp drives (sorry, Star Trek). Antimatter itself is very real. Made of particles that mostly behave like regular matter, but their electrical charges are reversed, an anti-proton looks just like a proton but has a negative charge, while an anti-electron (or positron) looks and moves just like an...

Scrapping the infamous Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel cost Disney $250 million, the company announced in its quarterly earnings call last week. With only 100 guest rooms, that breaks down to $2.5 million per room for the failed venture. The Galactic Starcruiser in Disney World was billed as a one-of-a-kind “Star Wars” experience. Each two-night booking was meant to feel like boarding a cruise ship in outer space, and guests were given a “mission” involving characters from the most recent “Star Wars” trilogy. It was a gamble on a relatively niche — and expensive — concept. But at about $4,800...

Darth killed his brother by that scene.

Disney has cast a transgender actor, a biological male who identifies as a woman, for the role of Ensign Eurus in the new “Star Wars” series on the Disney+ streaming site due out next year. The 30-year-old British actor is part of the Lucasfilm franchise after being chosen for “The Acolyte.” The series is set to take place near the end of the High Republic Era and sets the stage for the collapse of the Jedi, according to Screenrant. United Agents, a literary and talent agency, described Abigail Thorn as a British YouTuber and playwright who is best known for...

Disney World is shutting down the Galactic Starcruiser, the immersive Star Wars-themed hotel that costs around $5,000 for a two-night stay. In an update on Disney’s website, the company says the Starcruiser will host its final guests from September 28th to the 30th. “We are so proud of all of the Cast Members and Imagineers who brought Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life and look forward to delivering an excellent experience for Guests during the remaining voyages over the coming months,” Disney’s update says. “Thank you to our Guests and fans for making this experience so special.” Disney’s Galatic Starcruiser...

The pricey and immersive Star Wars hotel at Walt Disney World in Florida is closing after just one year of taking guests on a two-night 'voyage' that could cost up to $20,000. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser was originally sold as an experience rather than a hotel and costs around $1,200 per person per day. One 'tricked out' suite has been reported to come in at a whopping $20,000 for the trip. The immersive lodging, which is based in Orlando - and does not have any windows - will carry out its final 'voyages' in September, four years after it was...

The first use of this phrase happened on May 4, 1979, one day after Margaret Thatcher was elected as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Her political party placed an advertisement in the newspaper that included the phrase "May the Fourth Be With You.

Bill Murray as Nick the Lounge Singer. "Nick" sings the Star Wars theme. May 4 is "Star Wars Day."

Princess Leia arrived to the beach with Darth Vader, a scruffy Ewok and one of Jabba the Hutt’s hefty henchman. Although it sounds like the setup for a joke you’d tell Greedo over drinks at the Mos Eisley Cantina, it happened 40 years ago, when Carrie Fisher showed up to Stinson Beach in Marin for a Rolling Stone photo shoot in the summer of 1983. The magazine had reached out to Los Angeles-based photographer Aaron Rapoport to tackle the assignment. Despite windy conditions, a crowded beach and three costumed subjects lumbering through the sand, the shoot resulted in a classic...

It finally happened and not a moment too soon. Conservatives and old-school liberals have been waiting, and waiting, for a Hollywood A-lister to defend free speech. We’ve had comic legends do just that, from John Cleese to Bill Maher. Their comments, and bravery, matter. Others, like legendary author Judy Blume, approached the subject but only to smite a rising GOP star with a limited grasp of the facts. Cutting through the pop culture noise demands something extra – the biggest stars in entertainment blasting the freedom-snuffing woke mindset. Enter Steven Spielberg. The Oscar-winning director not only mocked efforts to revise...

Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Liam Neeson thinks the many Star Wars spinoff series are "diluting" the franchise. The 70-year-old actor discussed the possibility of starring in a Star Wars spinoff about his character Qui-Gon Jinn during Thursday's episode of Watch What Happens Live. Neeson played Qui-Gon in Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace (1999) and recently appeared as the character in the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi starring Ewan McGregor. On WWHL, Neeson was asked if he is interested in his own spinoff. "No, I'm not. There's so many spinoffs of Star Wars. It's diluting it, to me, and...

Asked about his philosophy in life, movie star Harrison Ford said this week that he was "raised a Democrat" and "my moral purpose was being a Democrat." The Indiana Jones actor talked to the Hollywood Reporter about politics and religion, saying that as a younger man, "I didn’t have any religious construct, but I think nature and God are the same thing." The interviewer noted that "one of your majors in college was philosophy" and wondered, "Has any of that stayed with you?" Ford responded with a long answer weaving in religion and politics: "There’s a Protestant theologian named Paul...

How boring. And stupid.Lucasfilm has added another retcon to the Star Wars saga, and it is almost as bad and stupid as George Lucas changing the fact that Han Solo shot first in the Tatooine tavern.Luke Skywalker is gay. Canonically, as they say–means that Disney has officially endorsed the claim that the iconic character is gay.In 1977 this would have been a stunning and brave revelation. Today it is dull and silly. A concession to the nutty idea that films should have “representation” for every variation of the human experience.The idea has been floating out there for a while, but...

Star Wars Holiday Special, The (1978) [Nice Copy] A good quality version of a classic!!! Put together from a few of different sources.

Another woke Hollywood lefty is on the loose with more terrible takes on abortion. So get your lightsaber, because Star Wars actor Mark Hamill just gave one that’ll make you wish you were getting force-choked. Hamill took to Twitter to portray couples willing to adopt babies to the mentally deranged DC supervillains Joker and Harley Quinn. Following a common theme on left-wing Twitter, Hamill demonized couples willing to adopt babies from unplanned pregnancies as malicious, discrediting the 36 couples that wait for every one baby that is adopted. Instead of allowing the baby to grow up in a household, Hamill...
