The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
"I also just want to, again, recognize and honor the sex worker community," she said. "I will continue to support and be an ally. All of the incredible people, the women, that I've had the privilege of meeting from that community have been one of the highlights of this entire incredible experience."And not just enthusiastic. Supportive! Because being a "sex worker" (what a vile euphemism) in Hollywood's warped and twisted worldview is pretty much just like going to school and becoming a physician, or accountant, or doing the most important work on earth bearing and raising children. We should honor them? How? Give awards for best alleyway BJ? Or maybe there should be two awards...one for quality and one for quantity. And maybe there should be a category for bestiality? Pulling trains? All the stuff that is most valued in women by Hollywood. In a sane world in which women are actually respected, rather than considered only according to their genitalia and what they do with them, prostitution would be seen as a terrible consequence of lives gone wrong. Our culture would work to make prostitution -- an incredibly debasing life -- something to be shunned, and a life out of which we should help people. Instead, Hollywood rejects objective morality and simple decency and revels in the degradation of our humanity. How else to continue their and their masters' work at the destruction of traditional American culture? But concurrent with that almost total detachment from their audience and their revenue stream is the increasing disinterest in their product. Most Americans don't much care about the politics of a bunch of rich, under-educated mimics who seem to think that because they are good at memorizing dialogue, their nasty opinions about the President and fascism and transgender lunacy are important -- and should be shoved down our throats at every opportunity. And don't forget Ukraine! The darling of every ignorant fool to walk that red carpet, unless they like Hamas more! The movie industry is barrelling toward collapse, and they are too stupid to see it. Revenue has been down since 2019, and when corrected for inflation the numbers are even worse. Hopefully some of the slack will be taken up by small independent studios that will respond with a product that Americans actually want to see. But they will need to recognize the change that is in the air!

the best character in it is Igor who is played by a very very popular Russian actor. So just having him in a movie (and the Russian actor who played the young partying guy) is propaganda and Really Super Bad.
anyway idc I really liked both actors. the movie was ok-ish.

"The Academy Awards in the age of Trump could have gone one of two ways.
Either Hollywood – the biggest bunch of self-righteous, butt-sniffers on Earth – was going to collectively muster their oblivious indignation and sound off against Donald's Second Reich... OR... they'd put their tails between their legs.
Thankfully, it was the latter."
'biggest bunch of self-righteous butt-sniffers on Earth' is approaching Ace-esque.

What is surprising about that is that it was an actress saying it. It's about 30 years ago that Ben Stein pointed out that prostitutes are always favorably portrayed by Hollywood. And he gave the reason: It's because they are the nicest women men there usually meet. The actresses are much worse, as are the women in production.

I don't have the time to look it up, but I believe the writer Nickie Roberts in her 1993 book Whores in History argued for prostitution to embrace the word 'whore' rather than 'sex worker,' though at the moment I don't recall her rationale.

At a time when the world press is obsessed with US president Donald Trump and his often imbecilic machinations, perhaps a more consequential struggle is taking place on the other side of the aisle. Trump and his minions may completely control the GOP, but the future of the Democrats is uncertain. The party’s left is locked in battle with those who embrace the party’s traditional values, like support for economic growth and enforcing the law.
Hollywood rejects objective morality and simple decency and revels in the degradation of our humanity. How else to continue their and their masters' work at the destruction of traditional American culture?

And dumb ass millennials heeded the call to become tin pot revolutionaries in their spheres, hectoring anyone and everyone about climate change, gender delusions, social justice, and any other brain damaged idea that could be employed to divide Americans for the benefit of leftist power.
It's time for a national conversation on common sense millennial control, and that begins with the arrest and prosecution of dear leader, idiot queen AOC, and any other Soros run grifter politician that set an entire generation on a path to the destruction of this once great country.

If I firmly affix my tinfoil hat, I'd point out that Hollywood has long had a close relationship with US intelligence agencies going back at least as far as WWII where Hollywood was very much involved in helping the OSS and other intel agencies create and distribute US war propaganda.
There was also a heavy organized crime element in LA, but specifically, Hollywood, from the beginning of the industry.
So maybe, just maybe, the primary concern in Hollywood is not making money, but in pushing narratives and agendas. Propaganda that is not even primarily aimed at domestic audiences, but international audiences.
Maybe the people running these studios aren't as retarded as they look, they just know that their primary goal is not necessarily making movies and shows that entertain the american middle class (and thus selling well domestically and increasing the stock price).

A community of women who mostly came from broken, chaotic homes and who more often than not, were physically, emotionally, and sexually abused. These are the high-end escorts that are glamorized in movies but working the streets for pimps, massage parlors, or on their own and risking their lives every day. Drug and alcohol abuse are rampant just to get through another day and if they have a kid/children, they have this life inflicted on them as well. Trafficking of teens working the streets and children being sold to the highest bidder - do you support that as well?
So you support them? You're an ally? What exactly does that mean? Just empty words that sound good to other empty heads.

This is definitely true. "I'm not a drug addicted street hooker, I'm a multi millionaire actress with millions of fans. If people knew I had to have sex with some depraved Harvey Weinstein types, they'd think I was like that street hooker. That's not fair. We need to get rid of the stigma around people using their bodies how they want for their own goals!"

Our grid(s) is inter-connected with Canada's. Fairly integrated at least on the East Coast.
I don't know if it's possible to isolate electricity cleanly along the border. Maybe.
Maine, NH and I believe VT get a significant amount of power from Quebecois hydrodams at this point. They shut down most of their coal plants due to EPA rules, the environmentalists shut down expansion of nuclear energy in the 1980's (NH has one nuclear plant, for example. Only half of it was ever built), NY will not allow any additional natural gas pipelines to be built crossing their state, and due to the Jones Act in conjunction with DoL and EPA LNG rules, it is not possible to import LNG from other places in the US.
So most winters (at least until recently), New England imports LNG from Russia and hydro power from Quebec.

All they could do, other than snuggling in close to a thousand random people in close proximity to decry drug users dying, was to "Netflix And Chill".
They couldn't do that in movie theaters, but movies could still be seen and "purchased" (rented). People had a lot of free time and little to do with it. A prime audience and customer base, needing something to pass their time with
But they screwed that up.
Movies are costing a crazy amount of money to produce (a separate question is how much is graft and corruption, like through "Hollywood Accounting"). And they are front-loaded; they try to recoup the costs in the first month. But the quality is so abysmal that there's no long-tail to it.

The portrait is compelling. The reality of New York is immersive. The tension of individual sequences is great.
Yeah, it's depressing with a falsely optimistic ending, but I have no problem with that kind of thing.
Schrader was dealing with some shit when he wrote that, and Scorsese made the most of it. And it looks fantastic. I dunno what you're talking about when you say it looks dated. It's a good lookin' movie.

It's hard for me to remember specifics, we were still getting over the back to back mass causality events of repealing net neutrality and of Trump destroying social security, or whatever the media narratives were at the time.
Literally everything Trump did ended up with people dying. It was a rough time.

Back in the 40's and 50's a notorious Hollywood agent was Henry Willson who was gay and cultivated a lot of young hunky men to his agency and promoted them to stardom in exchange for sex. One being Rock Hudson. There were others - not all succumbed to him but most did even though not gay but to get movie roles. His clients included Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter, Rory Calhoun, Chad Everett, Robert Wagner, Troy Donahue, Clint Walker, John Derek and others.

It appears to me that this is a national security concern. I think Trump should disconnect Canada from our electrical grid and, while he's at it, they can get off our phone exchange too and get their own country code.

No, it's just specific films, Like The French Connection, or Taxi Driver or The Breakfast Club, it's just something very innate to those films and others that just dates them, like for instance, War Games which was made two years before The Breakfast Club does not elicite this same reaction I get when I Judd Nelson call Michael Anthony Hall a Neo-Maxim-Zoom-Dweebie.

"Pretty Woman" was an early instance of celebrating whoredom as a great life for a woman and a primo way of catching a (rich) husband.
Abortion is celebrated because it also facilitates using women as pump-and-dump masturbation toys, basically. (I used to support it, many years ago, because I bought the lie that it is "liberating.")
Men are vilified. Women are degraded. The Left is utterly vile.
