But they're trying. Oh, is Hollywood trying!In the wake of Terminator: Dark Fate's failure at the B.O..., we have the further breakdown of cinema IP in Sony’s Charlie's Angels reboot, which is tanking with a God-awful $8.6M domestic opening, $27.9M worldwide (from 26 markets), 3 Stars on Screen Engine-Comscore’s PostTrak, and a B+ Cinemascore. The Elizabeth Banks-directed-written and produced pic is also opening in 27 offshore markets, China being one where it’s also bombing, with a $7.8M 3-day take in third place behind No. 1 local title Somewhere Winter ($13.1M). All of this is primed to further spur a WTF reaction and anxiety among film development executives in town in regards to what the hell exactly works in this have-and-have-not era of the theatrical marketplace. ... Says RelishMix, which also foresaw this disaster approaching on social media chatter, "Angels is the latest example in a 'woke' effort to reboot a franchise that many were not all that interested in to start with. In fact, many references to the 2000 version get a call-out as a reason this one doesn’t seem to compare -- whether it’s the cast or the action teased from the film. And, as observed with other recent films, some action/adventure, unfortunately fans say they’re steering clear of this one because of its 'girl power' messaging."Full-time feminist and occasional director Elizabeth Banks tried the usual "dark marketing" tactic of insulting men to get the women (and liberal soy-based men) who despise men to support her movie, making "Gender Aggrievement" the central marketing pitch for a popcorn movie: In the age of reboots, revivals, and sequels, Elizabeth Banks wants to know why people are criticizing her for creating another chapter in the Charlie’s Angels franchise. In a recent profile in WSJ Magazine, the Charlie’s Angels writer/director/star responded to the criticism she's been facing for rebooting the franchise with Kristen Stewart, Ella Balinska, and Naomi Scott. "You've had 37 Spider-Man movies and you’re not complaining!" Banks says. "I think women are allowed to have one or two action franchises every 17 years -- I feel totally fine with that."In this interview, she announces that almost every story in history is told from a "cisgendered white male perspective" and that any woke story is therefore "fresher." Audiences don't seem to agree, especially because almost every movie is now #Woke gender-swapped trash. How is this "fresh" given that eight thousand other movies in the past five years do it? "Fresh" would be a movie about men doing masculine-type things. People would be shocked at that bizarre, unexpected gender twist. She also declares that men have a responsibility to see women's movies, and I guess particularly those women's movies which intentionally demean and scapegoat men. She also made sure that audiences knew this movie wasn't only for women -- it was also for the other 50% of the country, Teh Gays. Elizabeth Banks, writer, director, producer, and costar of the new Charlie’s Angels from Sony, has delivered an action-packed popcorn flick that's fun, feminist, and queer. One of the sociologically relevant pieces of Charlie’s Angels is a scene in which a female informant exchanges information, not for money but for menstrual products and birth control in order to help women in her native Turkey. Regarding that plot point in the movie, Banks says: "One of the great tropes of all spy movies is the informant and the payment to the informant. I was really interested in stories from women around the globe who are less interested in receiving money for information because money can be taken from them by the men in their lives. And they actually need menstrual products and birth control and Pampers and Advil. I was so moved by the idea that there is a network of women around the world that are helping each other get things." While Charlie's Angels has always been inherently campy, it's never been overtly queer -- that is, until Banks and Stewart chose to include a nod to Sabina’s queerness. Banks has also incorporated a few other nods and cameos that are sure to please LGBTQ viewers.Oh, she worked in tampons, too. I was afraid the movie would completely overlook the classic action movie trope of Tampon Lecturing. This is really a four-quadrant play! Banks just couldn't stop being annoying AF: 'Charlie's Angels' Director Elizabeth Banks Challenges Trolls: Action Movies Are My Realm The film even opens with Stewart’s character commenting to a meaty male mark that she thinks "women can do anything." It's tongue-in-cheek, but it's also a fast summation of the messages Banks wanted her second feature to impart. "I wanted it to be a celebration of women," Banks said. "I wanted it to remind people that women are everywhere, that you can’t ignore us and that when you underestimate us, you give us a superpower[."] ... Finally, as for anyone who might sneer at a woman claiming feminist space in the action realm (see: the recent reintroduction of Linda Hamilton, plus two other new female characters in "Terminator: Dark Fate," which emboldened scads of online trolls), Banks offered these thoughts. "I will say that I think they’re apples and oranges, because 'Charlie's Angels' has always been about women, and the DNA of it is about women working together on this team," she said. "We are not treading in a male space. I think that's one of the big differences between these two things. I don’t know, I'm less concerned about that. Of course, those trolls are horrifying, but you know, I challenge them to get up and make a fucking movie action movie. I welcome any of them into my realm."Elizabeth Banks must have know her Gay Tampon Propaganda was going to tank, because, just on the eve of the movie's release, she started making excuses for its impending failure. Get ready for a shock: She blamed men and their sexism. The filmmaker, who also wrote and produced “Charlie’s Angels” and stars in the movie as Bosley, called out a potential box office bomb as being sexist. "Look, people have to buy tickets to this movie, too. This movie has to make money," she said. "If this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don't go see women do action movies."Although it is true that people -- not just men-- are reluctant to see action movies starring women -- for one simple reason, because it's dumb and silly -- it's not true that they won't see such movies. John Nolte points out that men turned out for two Charlie's Angels movies in 2000 and 2003, despite the latter one being terrible. [T]his has nothing to do with gender, and I can prove it... Here are two numbers that are not adjusted for nearly two decades of inflation: $40 million and $37.6 million. All the way back in 2000, a movie based on the television show Charlie’s Angels and called Charlie’s Angels opened to $40 million. It would eventually gross $139 million domestic and $264 million worldwide (back when the international market was nowhere near as open as it is today). All the way back in 2003, the sequel, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, opened to $37.6 million. It would eventually gross $101 million domestic and $260 million worldwide. But here’s the difference... The 2000 version of Charlie's Angels somehow managed to drive home its empowerment and sisterhood message without dumpster-diving into misandry. And unlike this current trio of generic, androgynous, mall-girl angels, the 2000 version featured three sexy women: Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu, who didn’t apologize for being sexy, who used that power to convince us guys the movie was worth our time, and they delivered. .... And so, Charlie's Angels (2019) is the fifth franchise the man-hating woketards have destroyed, the fifth golden goose strangled by these joyless and the artless harpies.Is there any hot new take -- besides Tampon Lecturing -- in this movie? No. As this critic points out, they're still doing the same 90s era You Go Girl shallow empowerment sloganeering they did in the first Charlie's Angels movie, 25 years ago. Drew Barrymore and McG came along with a take that knowingly winked at its own history of sexploitation while playing into a very 1990s "you go girl" concept. ... What is most surprising about the latest "Charlie's Angels," which was written and directed by Elizabeth Banks, who also plays the part of Bosley, is how little the "go girl" feminism of the 2000 film has evolved in nearly 20 years.That doesn't surprise me. It's always been a shallow, glib bumper-sticker. It's a marching chant, not a philosophy. By the way, the big reveal at the end of this movie is that the mysterious "Charlie" who's been giving these assignments to women for 50 years now... has been A Strong Empowered Woman all along, using a voice-changer to disguise her voice. You go girl. No, seriously: You go girl. You go NOW. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I know someone who will watch anything in which Kristen Stewart appears. I don't see the appeal, although I've been told she's frequently naked on screen.
In an upcoming movie, Stewart plays Jean Seberg, who was to the Black Panthers what Jane Fonda is to the Viet Cong. Of course, I have zero interest in watching the picture no matter what, but homely Kristen Stewart looks NOTHING like Seberg. Scarlett Johansson or Charlize Theron would have been better casting.

Why the insistence on say cis-gendered rather than heterosexual?
Posted by: N.L. Urker, champion of Urkers everywhere at November 18, 2019 12:42 PM (Uu+Jp) ++++++++++++++ Not exactly the same thing. "Cisgendered" means "Identifies as the 'gender assigned at birth'" - e.g., what we used to call "normal." Transgendered - that is, "identifies as a gender other than than the 'gender assigned at birth'" - is "otherizing" because it implies abnormality. "Cisgendered" is an extension of the destruction of our language. Since "transgendered" is to be normalized, normalcy must be adapted to their abnormality. This new word is one of the ways they're doing it. (and don't get me started on the 'assigned at birth' crap, like whether you have an innie or an outie is up to the doctor spinning the wheel) Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 18, 2019 12:48 PM (I2dne) 129

171 "Fresh" would be a movie about men doing masculine-type things. People would be shocked at that bizarre, unexpected gender twist.
Or if an anorexic female movie character attempted to subdue a large group of armed male bad guys with kicks and jumps and ended up getting the crap shot out of her... that would be an unexpected twist.

It's highly dependent on her facial expressions and body language. I've good and bad pics of her from the same photo set. It's weird.
Stewart has one pose and one facial expression. She hunches her shoulders, looks mildly annoyed, and has her lips slightly parted. If this is caught just right, she could possibly be considered "sultry". The problem is, the poor photographer is basically taking dozens of shots of a mannequin. If the photog tries too hard to make the mannequin look lifelike by changing angles and such, they're going to get a lot of shots that don't work.

Instead of doing a guy movie with girls pretending to be guys in the guy roles, what if you actually made a movie where women excelled at women things? (Hidden Figures, anyone?)
I watch -- and enjoy -- all kinds of movies where people are exceptional, but I simply roll my eyes when I see ANY character being superhuman when you know it's all bs. I could believe the Bourne movies. I could believe (mostly) SALT or Columbiana. What I don't believe is a bunch of Real Housewives of Hollywood taking on The Patriarchy by being bitchy and swooning at a closet full of clothes. What is the passing rate of women in the Army's combat readiness tests? Fail rates are around 85%, right? So, I'm supposed to believe a secret squad of coiffed, manicured chicks in pumps are really an assassination squad? It's just stupid. And not even fun-stupid, like the Red franchise. Just annoyingly PMS -amped stupid. The whole reason why the original Charlie's Angels ran for multiple seasons was because it was a FANTASY -- hot chicks fighting crime; not because it was women taking out some social justice on a world of Archie Bunkers. It was Baywatch in pantsuits, but Banks missed that entirely and has sucked out its soul. And damn anyone who might try to tell her the truth.

Pretending that Drew Barrymore is hot at all, or that skinny-boy-body Cameron Diaz is obviously hotter than the three new Angels is just silly.

Elizabeth Banks Is this the same person always cast as the cute blonde but with a brain actress from a few years back? Instead of rebooting a franchise why can't Hollywood write a new movie?

Stewart has one pose and one facial expression. She hunches her shoulders, looks mildly annoyed, and has her lips slightly parted.
If this is caught just right, she could possibly be considered "sultry". The problem is, the poor photographer is basically taking dozens of shots of a mannequin. If the photog tries too hard to make the mannequin look lifelike by changing angles and such, they're going to get a lot of shots that don't work. Posted by: bonhomme at November 18, 2019 * * Like garrett above, I love brunette WASPs. But she is a let-down.

You want to starve the beast? Then you need to starve the beast.
They know fully well that they can fund 50 of these polemics with just one Marvel flick. Just one "Gone in 60 Seconds" will keep the preaching going. There comes a point when it's not about money anymore. George Soros doesn't care whether he's making much more money. Michael Bloomberg isn't interested in money. Frankly, I'm not sure if President Trump even cares about money anymore. No, it's about power. First you get the money, remember? But they HAVE the money... so what now? Right, brainwashing. You need to stop going to Marvel flicks, and other "franchises." You need to stop forgiving the NFL. Stop listening to music from people who hate us. Or, if you prefer, pretend that these little "victories" matter. Ooooh, look! Charlie's Angels failed! No way Sony will survive this catastrophe! Although they did make a buck or two on that Mr. Rogers flick... and Spider Man has made a buck or two - did you see any of those? Don't forget MIB - that might cover a preachy flick, dontcha think? Hey, who's going to watch the new series of "The Crown?" Season 3 of a runaway Sony/Netflix hit! Awesome. That might fund a few Charlie's, amirite?

Or that the Transformers movies keep making money? Box office returns does not equal quality.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Just All about the Billy Wilder movies at November 18, 2019 01:09 PM (q80AH) nope. Making money just means putting out stuff with enough 'splosions and chase scenes so that it will be watched in China and India even more than here. Dialog and plot is irrelevant to profitability. In fact, as far as the foreign market goes, the more dialog and plot you have, the less it will translate and the more money it will lose.

"Women can do anything!"
Prove it. Make a box office smash hit. You can do anythibg, right? So prove it by doing that. I don't think you can. Everyone says women are so intuitive, so much so that there's a special, better kind of intuition called, for a century or more, "Women's Intuition.". So use that superpower that we've always been told you have to divine what people want to see, and make the next "Titanic" or "Braveheart" . I don't think you ever will, and you'll say, when it fails, "It's not about the money.". Well, yes it is, Sugar. And you need to put up or shut up about " women can do anything, " until you can make a studio profit. Posted by: Taqiyyologist at November 18, 2019 01:13 PM (upfer) 383
244 The whole reason why the original Charlie's Angels ran for multiple seasons was because it was a FANTASY -- hot chicks fighting crime; not because it was women taking out some social justice on a world of Archie Bunkers. It was Baywatch in pantsuits, but Banks missed that entirely and has sucked out its soul. And damn anyone who might try to tell her the truth.

You know what occurs to me? Great movies show us things, they don't just tell us things. Show>Tell.
But what is woke politics above everything else? Tell Tell Tell. That is it's very essence - lecturing people. Once a movie gets woke it suddenly has the urge to explain and tell the audience everything, to become an instructional video. It can't fucking shut up. tell is tiresome. tell is boring. tell is silly. Tell is long stretches of dialogue, with less movement, action, surprises, twists, all the things that make a good movie. Show is the essence of an action movie. Show is explosions, heroic actions, narrow escapes. Stopping to tell just kills the forward momentum of the movie. Look at Indiana Jones - show show show. Heck the first 15 minutes is almost a silent movie - the part where he gets the statue in the amazon. All show, no tell. And some of the best movie making ever. So many sections are all show, very little tell. Posted by: Inspector Kemp at November 18, 2019 01:17 PM (noE+3) 421

Posted by: Cato, Media Delenda Est at November 18, 2019 01:19 PM (J+mig) This is probably true. The new trilogy is internally incompetent at a sub Lucas level, and the reshoots speak a lot more to a movie like Solo than Revenge of the Sith.

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at November 18, 2019 01:21 PM (AzW6q) They've concluded, correctly, that they can make a hell of a lot of money due to the international demand for fried chicken. They got bullied out of the UK and want back in. They have huge expansion plans in Canada. I'm actually surprised they're still closed on Sunday- that's a lot of revenue they're giving up. They donate to quite a few Christian charities, so I don't see this as unforgjvable wokeness. Yet. But without their American base they'll bleed money overnight, so I think they'll make the right moves. Posted by: trev006 at November 18, 2019 01:30 PM (FoV3c) 528

523 Curio:
The Godfather and Black Panther sold almost the same number of tickets (80 million vs 75 million) in the US. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Just All about the Billy Wilder movies at November 18, 2019 01:27 PM (q80AH) +++++++++++ And then you have to control for population. US population was about 50% higher when Black Panther came out vs. The Godfather. So on a total population basis, Black Panther was a bit under 2/3s as popular as The Godfather. I don't actually much care, for what it's worth. The better questions are "is it good?" and "did it pay?" Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 18, 2019 01:30 PM (I2dne) =========== Ticket sales are generally flat over time while the population continues to rise. It's an interesting graph to look at. I had thought that ticket sales were way down from the 70s, but it's just a percentage of the population that's down.

I have to say that in some of her photoshoots as a young woman, and in some scenes of films and TV shows she did before Bewitched, she had a perfect example of Resting Bitch Face. Beautiful RBF, now, and when she smiled she lit up the screen and your mind (and/or loins, depending on your age). But RBF.
I still will watch anything she's in at least once. A comic episode of Thriller aired a few weeks ago on cable, and I enjoyed it. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at November 18, 2019 01:31 PM (Ejm1K) 538

AFP Relax News AFP Relax NewsNovember 18, 2019 The announcement arrived a few hours after West paid a visit to renowned televangelist Joel Osteen at his Houston megachurch to discuss his recent commitment to Christianity. "I know that God's been calling me for a long time and the devil's been distracting me for a long time. Jesus has won the victory. I told you about my arrogance and cockiness already.

The reason the Left cannot create art is because art has to deal with truth. And there is no truth in the Leftist worldview.
Also for the record I like Naomi Scott. I don't know if men find her attractive or not, I'm not a great judge of that, but she's feminine, pleasant and a Christian who's relatively vocal about it, as far as Hollywood people go. I'd like to see her become a bigger star. Kristin Stewart was barely tolerable when she made an effort to appear like a feminine girl. As a full blown androgynous "queer" she's incredibly boring.

"Could this be a giant money laundering scheme or the new oil/gas exploration planned investment loss? I doubt this much wealth is being disintegrated on purpose. Maybe they are making shit movies on purpose to transfer money under the table while generating an offsetting tax loss." Gotta tell ya, I've been wondering why Disney spent 6bn on SW IP and completely destroyed the entire story... It does seem like it was done on purpose. Posted by: Rev.

43 It takes an incredible amount of energy to produce a film nobody wants to see. Think about all of the silly movies that have come out over the past 100 years - one has to ensure that none of that makes it into your movie if you want to fail.
Posted by: Vashta Nerada at November 18, 2019 12:39 PM (YslsA) --------- General rule: 99% of EVERYTHING is crap. All the stuff we remember from bygone eras is just the 1% that rises above that. That said, there are varying degrees of crap - most of it at least manages to more or less break even or turn a small profit; that's why they still get made. But a select few are so awful they only exist to be tax write-offs. Posted by: can of spam at November 18, 2019 01:42 PM (g0aRc) 621

Sadly, the reports about Chick-fil-A are true. I just read their statement.
They will no longer be donating to Salvation Army or Fellowship of Christian Athletes because those organizations don't endorse gay marriage. Salvation Army does not discriminate in either hiring or services, but that isn't enough. I'll take the money I would have spent at Chick-fil-A and send it to Salvation Army or Samaritan's Purse.

Paying informants in goods that are less likely to be stolen from them is actually a super interesting detail that would be really cool just so long as no one mentioned it and let it just be something that happened and made the world of the movie less generic.
Also, I'm convinced that modern feminists are just having hissy fits over having missed the party so they make up this big imaginary battle that they're fighting. But since it's mostly imaginary they simply have to tell everyone about it or else no one would notice. Posted by: Synova at November 18, 2019 01:46 PM (BD/yx) 630

Posted by: DocJ at November 18, 2019 01:41 PM (77WPm) ------ Funny thing about the original Frozen, if you apply the standard "turning point timing" formula to the movie twice (at different total run times), you can argue the story is based on either of the sisters (though Anna's story is more compelling on a subjective level).

Is Frozen II going to be woke or woker ? I will
never see either since I don't have daughters or nieces but I've heard the praise of the first one . Posted by: AOC at November 18, 2019 I always had a slight soft spot for the animated movies. Ice age, Up, Despicable me, Planet 51 etc. I probably wouldn't have seen Frozen, but the wife had control of the TV that night, so I sat through it. It really wasn't bad.

Posted by: Lurking Libertarian at November 18, 2019 01:42 PM (W+w2W) I actually liked Kylo Ren. The entire point was that he wasn't Darth Vader, but he was trying to be. He got turned around morally, and believes he's in too deep to go back, so he tries to "embrace" it even though his heart is constantly screaming at him that it's the wrong thing to do. His character's tragic, not a black and white villain. Snoke, on the other hand coming out of nowhere, and then dying like a bitch in the next movie on the other hand....

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Just All about the Billy Wilder movies at November 18, 2019 01:34 PM (q80AH) I think it depends on whether they can deliver something that salvages the incoherent sequel trilogy or not.

" Biggest wasted opportunity of any franchise: reunite Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie on screen. " Yes. They turned Luke into something that he wouldn't be, without reason, Han, the same...Leia...walked right by Chewie without acknowledging him so she could greet someone she never met before. The idiots who wrote these movies are some stupid bastards. Just unbelievable. I thought the Phantom Menace and all that was really bad...these went WAY beyond that level of horribleness. I mean, who is this Rey character with her pearly white shiny teeth and scrubbed-up succulence? She lived on a vicious desert planet? Ah. Didn't end up looking like Uncle Owen or Aunt Beru, made all her dental appointments. They could have run with the follow up to ROTJ, but noooooooo, they had to be special and give us a mannequin like Rey while throwing out Han Solo and Luke. Idiots. Posted by: Rev.

Kylo Ren is the single best part of the new movies.
The contrast between who he is and who he wants to be is what drives him, and it's great. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Just All about the Billy Wilder movies at November 18, 2019 01:44 PM (q80AH) They really biffed it with Rey. They could have made her a lot more interesting, without changing much of anything in 7, by explaining her talent and its limitations a little better. If I was writing it, it would have explained her knack as being able to see the past of physical objects. It'd tie into junk prospector past, the old rebel helmet, etc. During the scene when she obtains the lightsaber, she should have heard distinctly, among the cacophony of voices, Obi-Wan going "These are not the droids you're looking for, move along." The Stormtrooper interrogation scene is then justified - she knows that it can be done, but messes up on the technique the first couple of times, because she's got no practical experience. Do that with her in the following movies (able to instantly know the basics, but with no skill, muscle memory, etc.), and you've got an interesting but limited Jack of All Trades that still needs support and instruction from actual experienced experts, instead of instant mastery of everything for no reason.

"'I will say that I think they're apples and oranges, because 'Charlie's Angels' has always been about women, and the DNA of it is about women working together on this team,' she said."
Oh, I dunno. I kinda think the producers of the real Charlie's Angels had getting men to watch the show was sorta important. Three models running around in various attire and posing constantly in an era where actual porn wasn't allowed in the mainstream was not really about the women. Seriously, Farrah Fawcette on screen and it wasn't about men? Is she trying to "Gillette" Hollywood here? Posted by: AnonyBotymousDrivel at November 18, 2019 02:40 PM (6eEQ+) 643
