Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?

Armie Hammer was being pushed as an actor before he was completely blacklisted from Hollywood due to #MeToo allegations I never really understood. I know people say he's a "cannibal" because his sexts included stuff like "I want to consume you" but that seems to me to be a case of dirty talk gone wrong.

I have no idea if he should or shouldn't be cancelled. I do know that he's attempting a comeback and that few people will hire him. He's in what appears to be an edgy movie about a vigilante who kills "criminals and those in power who protect them," which is always a taboo kind of movie for Hollywood. It's very low-budget, which you can tell from the movie showing off stuff to make it seem like a big-budget movie, but the stuff they're showing -- like an APC driving down the street -- is relatively cheap to achieve.

Is this some kind of signal that the cultural zeitgeist is shifting against the Regime? I doubt it, because someone is always able to raise a smallish amount of money for this kind of movie. See both the Charles Bronson Death Wish and the underrated Bruce Willis remake. (I'm not saying it's great, I'm just saying it's underrated.)

Yes, Death Wish did definitely indicate that the public was moving decisively against liberal indulgence of rampant criminality, but most of these kinds of movies mean nothing. Urban vigilante movies are often popular. Even Jodie Foster did one (and it was pretty decent.)

Still, maybe it's something? I don't know. It'll probably wind up telling us that Those In Power Protecting Criminals are Donald Trump and his friend, Cyborg Jeffrey Epstein.

I know you guys are all huge fans of Olivia Wilde, both as a loudmouthed shrill feminist propaganda director and also a shit actress, as well as never-gets-old Seth Rogan and pompous idiot Ed Norton, so here, enjoy this trailer. Apparently it's about old people being invited by their old neighbors to participate in their orgy.

Feminists constantly use sex to sell themselves. Absolutely constantly. They alternate between scolding men for having a normal, healthy interest in sex and then using sex to hype their projects.

Below: it has a dog so I'm interested.

If there's a kind of movie I'm more sick of than corporate IP slop it's post-apocalyptic zombie slop. And also, Ridley Scott slop. And also, Josh Brolin slop. So here's all that slop in one, so we can get it out of the way fast and move past it.

That trailer made me think "I'm so sick of hearing Nine Inch Nails" despite having not heard them in years. I blame the trailer.

Good environmentalist themes in Whalefall, which teaches us that whales are dangerous predators and must be eradicated before they eat us all.

Yes, it's actually a Jonah-type story and it's kind of intense.

Leftwing extremist propagandist Aaron Sorkin is suddenly against social media now that FaceBook -- the villain here -- isn't quite as compliant with the left's brainwashing agenda as it used to be.

I know, I know -- FaceBook censored people regarding covid. I can assure you that is not what Aaron Sorkin finds problematic. What he's angry about is that Zuckerberg repented for that (or pretended to) and is no longer on Team Brainwash.

I saw this movie reviewed. Film Threat said it was LAME. Past the opening teaser, there's only two characters, so you know they're not going to die, at least until the last ten minutes. They said it was a thirty-minute horror anthology story stretched beyond it's breaking point to be feature-length.

That said, this trailer has a jump-scare that really got me.

The Jessica Chastain "Woke White Woman Tracks Dangerous Far-Right Republicans on the Internet and Reports Them to Their Manger" Apple TV series The Savant, which was delayed due to the assassination of Charlie Kirk -- hey, his assassin wasn't far right at all, was he? -- will finally be released in July, so you have that going for you.

And if that's not woke enough for you:
