New James Bond Film

[AProudLefty]

By the way this is the Bond extra in question:



I NEVER would have guessed she was ever transgender.

LOL. I was about to ask how you can tell the difference.

I would not know about 'wokeism' in modern films/TV...I gave up on them/cut the cable years ago.
At least the popular films/TV.
I'll stick with Indy's.
Same with new music.

BTW - I did not stop watching/listening to most popular movies/TV/music because of PC or woke or anything like that specifically.
It's because I think they almost all SUCK.
Especially since about 2010.
Though even before that - things had been changing since about 2000.

I DO agree with you that there has always been PC to varying degrees throughout history.
Even modern history.

But it is COMPLETELY different now in that the youth are pushing for more PC.
Especially the college campuses.
That ASTOUNDS me.

When I was in university in the late 1980's?
It was the COMPLETE opposite.
We were fighting for more freedom and the 'establishment' was trying to hang on to the 'good old days'.
And I gather it had been the same thing since at least the 1950's.
(BTW - I was probably 'liberal' then. Or mostly.)

Now?
I am 'the establishment'.
Desperately trying to hold onto freedom of speech and expression.
And the youth are trying to take that right from me.

The 'grown-ups' are 'cool'.
And the 'youth' are the 'squares'.

FUCKING WEIRD!!!

Nobody believed that the CRA would have been a thing.

If you had told me even 25 years ago that this was going to be the way it is?
I would NEVER have believed you.

Hollywood really went onto collapse around 2012, getting worse by the year. Now they make almost nothing worth watching.

BTW, ever watched "Blazing Saddles"? It's one of the most politically incorrect movies ever.

CRA?

Community Reinvestment Act?

[AProudLefty]

CRA?

Community Reinvestment Act?

Civil Rights Act.

[AProudLefty]

The legislation had been proposed by President John F. Kennedy in June 1963, but it was opposed by filibuster in the Senate.

Why does that sound familiar?

YES!!!

When I was a little guy...I thought it looked like a college film for adults.
I just liked looking at the commercials for it and seeing the red head with all that cleavage.

I never actually saw it in it's entirety until about 2000 or so.

Now I think it is INCREDIBLY REFRESHING!!!


I wonder what the cancel culture on campuses would make of that today?

Their heads would explode.

Mel Brooks was very bold in making it. Now it's a classic.

*RANT ALERT*

Oh.
It sounds like something well-intentioned that went too far.
You cannot force people to act decent.
They will just dig in harder and fight it.

You have to make extremes illegal.
And just let the masses slowly grow up and realize what is right and wrong.

It is EXACTLY what is going on with the vaccines.
The minute the left started to say that you 'had' to take them?
That was it...the right dug in their heels and that was that.
You will NEVER get them to do it now.
You could pay them and they still won't do it.

What the Fauci-lovers should have done is NOTHING.
No orders.
No guilt.
No 'you are an idiot if you do not get vaccinated'.
No telling them they cannot take all of their alternatives.
Just let the right see all the seniors/fat middle aged people dropping like flies from Covid whom were not vaccinated.
And the right would figure it out.
And get the vaccines (for the most part).

But as soon as I saw the ENTIRE MSM (outside of FOX) getting onboard that 'it's your duty' to get vaccinated?.
Even in mid-2020?
I believed that was that...the right is going to get vaccinated over their dead bodies.

The fact that the vaccine was the first one based on the new DNA-style version did not help matters.

The left handled the ENTIRE Covid-19 thing HORRIBLY.
And I am a guy that has his shots and does not mind wearing his mask in public.
Though I am totally against the lockdowns and being forced to get vaccines.

* EXTRA RANTING * Okay....so I am bored.

Like Obamacare.
A great idea (giving healthcare to 30+ million poor Americans).
I was 100% for it then.
And the Reps would never dare vote down a bill that gives broke children, free healthcare.

But...instead of compromising...the left got greedy.
And tried to make it semi-single payer.
Which the right would NEVER have agreed to.
Result - 30+ million Americans STILL have no healthcare coverage.

Did they get sick after this?

Mad Magazine's take was For Your Thighs Only.

Mad Magazines were great till the PC and Wokeism took over. Pity.
