Batgirl’ movie gets ‘shelved’ by Warner Bros. despite $70M price tag: source

[cancel2 2022]

I am so proud of Primavera when he finally catches something I got wrong. Yes, I wrote patients rather than patience. Good catch.

You ought to be more circumspect considering the many howlers you made recently, but that's not our Salty, is it?

They weren't "revolutionaries", just the same old industry heads who listened to the younger members of their respective companies. Again, it's all about the Benjamins. Just look at all the "retro" channels on current TV applications and watch some old shows, and you'll see my point.

Now with the removal of the Fairness Doctrine and dumbing down of FCC laws (courtesy of Slick Willy and Ronnie Raygun), everyone can have their own brand of TV and radio broadcasting only what they want to see & hear.

No revolution....the old guard & Wall St. took care of that to a large degree.

LIAR.

Hollywood has long sacrificed dollars to be good WOKE CITZENS....and I have decided that there is zero chance that you dont know this.

Feel free to sit your ass down LIAR.

Are you drunk, high or just losing it?

Precisely what am I lying about? You seem to be all a fluster over something that you essentially are ignorant (willful or genuine) about. Here's a beginners guide for videots (look it up) of what I'm pointing to. Note that your buzz word "woke" as used by the MAGA mindset didn't exist when the changes started (but Lord knows you'll say otherwise despite the facts).

Sacrificing for the Revolution....For UTOPIA.....is what the modern hero is made of.

Wake Up People!

Calm down, Mortimer. Put down the booze, get a cup of tea, put some Sinatra ballads on the sound system, open a good book in a comfortable chair. Nothing is happening in your life that is SO horrendous as a result of social changes.

You had every opportunity to turn out better....dont forget that part.

Ahh, but diversity does is not defined as replacing characters race & gender. That is the current revisionist attitude that the entertainment industry has taken in the last few decades in order to do as I previously described.

Pisses me off, as I'm not going to freak out because Batgirl is a straight white woman.

We are becoming a more diverse society. Where it would once seem normal to have an all white male workplace, now it seems strange. That gets extended into the fictional world.

Hmm, given the quality of your responses and your retort here, it's painfully obvious that I turned out a hell of a lot better than you, toodles. Carry on.

Hmm, to a some degree I would agree with you. But remember, we're talking about images projected to the general public that is not wholly accurate. A good friend of mind told me once that she was amazed how folk in NYC actually thought that places like the "small town America" portrayed in our books, movies and TV right up to the mid to late 1960's didn't exist. Just a 3 hour drive from NYC, her home town where she grew up was EXACTLY like that (this was about 30 years ago). To date, the towns in the suburb of Long Island NY are still 95% of European descent...and they send new recruit cops to work in the NYC boroughs were the population is anything but.

I was born in 1958, so I got a heavy does of what "was" and witnessed first hand to the transition of what "is". I say this just to give some perspective as to where I'm coming from regarding my previous response.

Good since over 95% of women are straight. LOL
