Hollywood's Favorite Gay-Coded Pudgy Hispanic Plank of Wood Rails Against the Conservative Half of the Country as Disney Sends Him Out to Promote the Upcoming Marvel Bomb "Fantastic Four"
Ambiguously-sexed Hispanic man
delights the ladies like Liberace used to do.
His Dead Eyes smolder with zero intensity
He also attacked an actual woman, JK Rowling, as a "heinous loser" for not wanting to shower with rando mentally-ill dudes in wigs.
The internet is buzzing once again over Pedro Pascal, but this time, it's not because he's promoting some radical ideology or starring in just about every project Hollywood announces. No, this time it's all about an Instagram story featuring Pascal and his longtime friend Oscar Isaac full-on snuggling--something that has the legacy media predictably tripping over itself to declare yet another victory against so-called "toxic masculinity."
Pedro Pascal, best known for his role in The Mandalorian and The Last of Us has inserted himself into the ongoing debate over gender terminology and women's spaces by publicly disparaging bestselling Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. The actor left a comment on activist Tariq Ra'ouf's Instagram post calling Rowling a "heinous loser," following her support for a recent UK Supreme Court ruling that clarified legal definitions around biological sex.And now: This shapeless void of anti-charisma attacks half the country has fascists. And he's starring in a movie that seems to support Covid fascism!
Pedro Pascal Went Off in Profane Political Meltdown at Cannes and Got Applause, Gina Carano Got Fired for a MemeThe very normal actor further wooed the straight young men that make up what remains of the superhero movie audience by dancing suggestively with a rainbow-colored phallic glowstick, because that's what normal men do.
Its becoming impossible to ignore the way Hollywood treats Pedro Pascal compared to the way it treated Gina Carano. Pedro Pascal stood in front of the international press at Cannes, dropped an F-bomb on political opponents in the United States, promoted a film that vilifies conservatives, and walked away with applause and headlines. Meanwhile, Gina Carano -- who said far less, without profanity or attacks -- remains blacklisted from Hollywood, forced to take her fight to court. That's the double standard on full display. While promoting A24's Eddington, Pascal was asked whether he was concerned about returning to the U.S. given the film's political message. His response was blunt. "F*** the people who try to make you scared," he said. "Fear is the way that they win... keep expressing yourself and don't let them win." The film itself is set in New Mexico during the 2020 lockdowns and features a clash between Pascal's left-leaning mayor and Joaquin Phoenix's sheriff. The story has been described by critics as a direct attack on conservative populism, set in a town tearing itself apart. Variety praised its aggressive tone and message, with Pascal calling the script a form of "whistleblowing" and saying it felt like someone was finally speaking out "from the inside." There has been no public reprimand from Disney for these comments. No distancing from Marvel. No statement from Lucasfilm. And there won't be. Pascal remains the star of The Mandalorian & Grogu and is still playing a prominent role in Avengers: Secret Wars. In 2021, Carano shared a social media post warning that demonizing political opponents could lead to dark consequences. It didn't include any foul language. It didn't target anyone. It simply referenced historical patterns from the 1940s in Germany, when neighbor turned against neighbor. It was a call for awareness. For that, Lucasfilm terminated her contract, issued a public statement condemning her, and effectively erased her from the Star Wars universe. She has not worked with a major studio since.

I'm of the belief, if they keep doing the same damn thing, over and over, it's not a mistake. It's intentional.
We could go with "they're just crazy" or we could start to look deeper, and see what they're after, other than box office success.

Eddington is a 2025 American contemporary Western film written and directed by Ari Aster, and starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone. It follows the political and social turmoil in the fictional city of Eddington, New Mexico, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
So I'm guessing the film doesn't cover where COVID came from (Wuhan), who paid for it (Fauci), who stole an election using it (Biden), and who used it as a way to get rich by killing Americans with the clot shot (Pfizer/Moderna).
But...brave and stunning right?

it's a doomed franchise. John Sexton told me the FF aren't crime fighters. They're explorers and inventors. But of course all the places they explore are science-fantasy nonsense and all the things they invent are clearly-made up nonsense like "The Ultimate Nullifier."
So how do you do a movie about that? The places they go are and nonsense they invet are even harder-to-believe than the FF's powerset.

If smith smith whatever is still lurking around, the Women’s Sports Policy working group had identified over 5,100 men playing in women’s sports as of Sept. 2024 when they stopped counting because the number was just increasing more and more. SheWon.org has a great chart on the multiplier affect - just 2 boys playing as girls ended up denying actual girls opportunities and awards 235 times. No one is denying these boys the ability to play sports - they can do so on men’s teams anytime they would like.

At its best, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four had a mix of wild cosmic ideas and relatable characters that thrilled children of all ages. A straight adaptation of “The Coming of Galactus” would make an ideal four quadrant summer movie. Of course, Disney had to ‘improve’ it for ‘modern audiences’.

I am sorry to interrupt Pedro Pascal, thread,but want to respond to the Doubting Thomas who questioned me about Owens (and her insane claims about Stalin) "Candace Owens has claimed that Joseph Stalin was Jewish. In an August 2024 interview with Tristan Tate, she suggested Stalin was part of a "Jewish cabal" and cited a friend who claimed Stalin's surname, Djugashvili, meant "son of Jew" in Georgian, implying Jewish ancestry. She also stated, "For a very long time, the media tried to convince us that Stalin and Vladimir Lenin were antisemitic and then I learned Stalin was married a Jew." These claims have been widely debunked by historians, who confirm there is no credible evidence that Stalin was Jewish or had Jewish ancestry. Stalin was born into a Georgian Orthodox Christian family, trained in a seminary, and historical records, including his birth registry, show no Jewish heritage. His wives, Ekaterina Svanidze and Nadezhda Alliluyeva, also have no documented Jewish ancestry. Posts on X and multiple sources, including Reuters, have criticized Owens for promoting this baseless conspiracy."
Indeed indeed. Avanidze was Gerogian, and Alliluyeva was Russian.

Why? Is he an illegal alien? Is he a legal foreign resident whose visa could be revoked if he engaged in anti-US activities? What would the "concern" be?

Yeah but in this he just plays someone in love with Nic Cage. I'd say no homo but Pedro does come across as the kind of guy that would invite Nic back to his room for drinks and a roofie or two.

I didn't hate the first Fantastic Four
If you knew nothing about any of the characters, it probably was fine enough, nothing great. If you know the characters its like having, I dunno, Rio Lobo, but the John Wayne character is played by a woman, the bad guy is actually a circus clown, and they fight by a dance-off.

it's a doomed franchise. John Sexton told me the FF aren't crime fighters. They're explorers and inventors. But of course all the places they explore are science-fantasy nonsense and all the things they invent are clearly-made up nonsense like "The Ultimate Nullifier."
So how do you do a movie about that? The places they go are and nonsense they invent are even harder-to-believe than the FF's powerset.
Posted by: ace at May 20, 2025

"Explorers and inventors" (well, sort of the latter) describes the best episodes of the original Trek, too. Such a thing *can* be exciting. (See Larry Niven's early "Known Space" stories.) Apparently whoever's been handed the job of writing and filming an FF movie doesn't understand how to do that.

27 Eddington is a 2025 American contemporary Western film written and directed by Ari Aster, and starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone. It follows the political and social turmoil in the fictional city of Eddington, New Mexico, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
So I'm guessing the film doesn't cover where COVID came from (Wuhan), who paid for it (Fauci), who stole an election using it (Biden), and who used it as a way to get rich by killing Americans with the clot shot (Pfizer/Moderna).
But...brave and stunning right?

Some of them can have the thoughts a rational person could have, but their conditioning breaks them down and they have to replicate their purism.
And, I believe they are crazy. But no more than the person who can't stop cutting themselves over and over.

Pascal was asked whether he was concerned about returning to the U.S. given the film's political message.

Why? Is he an illegal alien? Is he a legal foreign resident whose visa could be revoked if he engaged in anti-US activities? What would the "concern" be?
The left just loves to dramatize what they do and what a threat they pose to the fascist right. It makes them feel much braver than if they said the truth, which is "nobody cares what I say and I'm just being a drama queen".

Few Star Trek *movies* did the exploration thing. It's something suited to TV, but in movies, they always do a big dumb revenge plot because people don't want to watch scientists figure out a problem.
And the FF, I sense, gets a lot sillier and childish with its sci-fantasy concepts, like "Mole Men" and hollow earth worlds and islands of giant monsters and the "Negative Zone." I don't know if that would play in a movie. The Genesis Device is a lot more "realistic" by comparison.

The problem with most comic book movies based on upbeat and optimistic source material is that the creatives today are miserable cynics who don’t understand or believe in the source material. The execrable ‘Batman v Superman’ is a good case in point. Disney was fine with Marvel until they reached a level of success that emboldened them to forsake what made them so successful in the first place.

None of her powers make sense but they are really cool. She can turn herself and other things (or people) invisible, or visible. She can project a field made of invisible energy that is very powerful and can be used to lift herself up and walk on air or bash people with. She projected it inside of Dr Doom's armor once and blew him up -- turned out to be a robot though.

>>>DC had an "Elongated Man" character briefly, in the Sixties. He was unusual, I think, in that he was married and had kids (though I might be confusing him with someone else).
Fun fact: DC told someone to create a plastic man ripoff character, which was the Elongated Man. But at the same time they actually bought the Plastic Man character, and so they added both characters with completely duplicative powers to their universe at about the same time.

111 I became seriously underwhelmed by Pedro's acting ability and screen presence the first time I saw him act, in the Netflix series "Narcos." As he landed more and more acting gigs, I always thought, "Why? Hollywood cannot find anyone better?" Pedro Pascal is another data point demonstrating we live in a world manufactured by Our Betters to con and beat us plebs into fatigued submission.

It seems like he's in everything and I don't know why and when he attacks his political opponents while plugging his latest movie while acting like he's storming a beach is so off putting that I'll never be able to suspend disbelief while watching anything he's in. Ben Affleck was on Theo Vons podcast and he actually had the nerve to say he didn't like being photographed because it makes it more difficult for the audience to suspend disbelief while watching him in movies so they're aware of this and they hate us.

In hindsight this does make me think Pascal had Gina fired because he told Disney it was either her or him.
I read somewhere he has a transgender sibling.
Which is the exact issue that caused the crusade against Corano, because she put beep/bop/boop as her pronouns way back when.
If he thinks JK Rowling is a heinous loser now, he probably felt the same against Gina back then.

This is a shame. There is so much disney could do with the fantastic four franchise yet they intentionally sent out the absolute worst lead *man* they could find.
You know exactly how the negotiations went on that. Three white men and a white girl? The villain is a white guy with another white guy as a herald?? Oh no, no, no, we cannot have that. Gotta have someone of color in there SOMEWHERE.

To him, a movie set in the interior of the US is equivalent to a movie set in darkest Africa. Bwana Pascal travels amongst the savages with his pith helmet and trusty revolver. And his glowing dance dildo.

It's been crap since season 5 but I don't know if it's overrated. It was doing something genuinely different. Rick is a singular character, a man of galactic pettiness. He'll wipe out an entire species just for annoying him.

I haven't seen a single episode but I should note that most of the writers and directors of the worst Marvel stuff in the last four years were by former Rick and Morty writers.
Can we have examples of this because we sure don't hear anything but vague innuendos.
Remember: speech is violence and saying things they don't like is an attack.

180 “Protect The Dolls” has become a slogan that calls out the increased attacks against trans people around the world..
Here is some interesting inter rainbow fighting- “dolls” was a term used to describe men who could pass and weren’t trying to make huge political statements, didn’t announce their presence in women’s spaces, take over sports, etc. The rest of the trans crowd, being the narcissists that they are, didn’t like they weren’t referred to as dolls because they were just as worthy and obviously just as pretty as the actual dolls, even though they look like hairy potatoes in dresses, so now they co opted the term to describe any trans man. It’s like they are all crazy or something.

you're talking about the shorts Justin Roilin did. Rick and Morty are clearly evolutions of "Doc and Marty," but they're changed, and there's no gay pedo jokes. Well, i mean, there is lots of weird sex stuff but the gay pedo jokes of the "Doc and Marty" cartoons are absent.

Also, Harmon was canceled from Community because there surfaced some vids of him making love... to a doll.
Obviously meant to be funny. I don't pretend to know what's really in the guy's head, but I can't see getting worked up over it.
Unlike, say, Dan Schneider.

And Dr. Doom didn't need some wierdo to lock him in an iron lung. Doom made his own suit. It's like Lucas cribbed it or something. Like the disfigured face thing.
Even back at the beginning, Doom was one of the most complex and interesting villains in comics. Byrne just took it that much further making him even more interesting and deep. He's such a fascinating archetype.

I seem to recall an X-Men in which he kidnaps Storm, not sure why, and imprisons her in a small cubicle. She's horribly claustrophobic, so her storm-creating powers begin to go out of control. A wonderful job of suspense and foreshadowing disaster to come.
I think at the very end Doom's fortress is still standing instead of the usual "being destroyed" scene. If I'm right, that was rather original, I thought.

Like a lot of other people, I suspect Lennon was not really embracing communism, so much as he was lashing out against the Vietnam War.
Turns out all the anti-war folks were right... even if their motives or methods weren't always.

I had missed that, had never heard of it before.
another thing - as soon as I heard it, I knew Joss Whedon had written it, even before I looked it up. As much as I dislike him personally, he's still can write good music, as well as good dialogue, and his style is pretty distinctive.

OK... then you liberal fucktard, I won't worry about calling you a Metro Male, at best, probably gay fucktard, who I don't want anywhere near children.
I won't worry about gays, trans, and Lefty media trying to silence me by calling me homophobe, Islamophobe, Miscogynist, or RAAAAACIEST. I will speak MY Truth, to YOUR power...

McCartney / Wings is what happens when you neuter Rock and Roll and put it on a Vegan Diet.
Yes, the man is talented. But his Solo efforts are criminal.

I recently read and thoroughly enjoyed, the novel True Grit. I haven't seen either of the two movies-- the John Wayne version from 1969, or the 2010 with Jeff Bridges. Which one is better?
Posted by: Northernlurker , Maple Syrup MAGA at May 20, 2025 05:43 PM (kTd/k)
The second one with Jeff Bridges is far closer to the spirit of the book than the John Wayne version is. That's why I think it is the superior of the two.

Not really, every Leftist in South America wants to be related to Allende since like the war against Franco that is where the center of gravity was for the supposedly non-Castro leftists.
In fact, most of the fiction that I have seen touching on Allende tries to link him more closely to Spanish Republican refugees than Castro.

The truth is, the only reason it was made was to retain copyright for the FF, and it was never meant to be released.

Did the actors know it wasn't going to be released? Because they do a fairly good job with what they were given. You'd think they would have just phoned it in if they had known.

They could do a good FF movie, but they have to cast it very carefully, keep it very close to the original concept, make it about family, but mostly about explorers of the unknown, finding crazy secrets and science insanity. I love the idea of the Mole Man, because the hollow earth thing is STILL speculated about and it feels so cool to have someone erupt from the depths: "I'm always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me!"
It worked in the Incredibles, and it would work with the FF, no matter how daffy it is if its sold earnestly and set up properly. But the wrong casting? With MCU's recent history? Nobody thinks this will work.

I mean, he's sitting in the corner, jerking off, while some dude dripping baby oil is railing his "girlfriend."
Then, demands he finish inside her, takes her to the other room, then comes out pissed that he faked the orgasm (because he wanted to eat the cream pie).
Diddy has tasted more semen than Andy Dick.

It's tough. I grew up with the original and have always loved Kim Darby, and the movie is colorful and energetic and well-lit. Except for its last scene (which I love), it follows the book pretty closely, even using great hunks of Portis's dialog.
The new one is . . . worthy, shall we say. It has the grayish lighting and dim night scenes I hate, and the humor is not there, but the script sticks even more closely to the novel, including much of the dialog.
Yeah, I'm biased. But I think the original is actually more exciting.

I don't dislike the first one - but for years I never understood why it had the name "True Grit", really seemed meaningless. Once I saw the second version, I knew exactly what that meant, in the context of the characters.

>>>It's the one where Rick and Family all make slaves of their sleeping selves to accomplish stuff they're too lazy to do on their own time.
that was a really good one and I also thought it was a response to "Severance," though Dan Harmon insists the script had been half-written before Severance.

Normally, I can get tired of a song I liked at first through overplay pretty quickly. That took a long time with Harrison's Set On You.
I think I liked Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll the first couple times I heard it, and then, most people don't know this, it faded. It actually took a second release for that to catch.

It's the result of a band that has reached so high that nobody is willing to say 'no'.
The production that people want to praise it what makes it so awful, imo.
Probably why I never liked Steely Dan. Amazing players. But the Production Style is off putting to me.
I like garage rock / DIY more.

Another thing I like about the book, and the second movie - it gets across the idea that people in the 19th century didn't talk, and didn't even think exactly like we do. It was close, but we are wrong to think that they were exactly the same as us, they weren't. (I actually prefer their mindset, I think)

I liked the original better because I liked the actors and the job they did far better. I even liked how Glenn Campbell portrayed his character way better than the fake accented Matt Damon.
Posted by: polynikes at May 20, 2025

Campbell was no great actor, but he did well. Damon is good in his way. The period dialog as rendered in the novel and in the remake seems kind of stilted to me, even though it's more authentic (or supposed to be).
What can I say? I like movies with life and color, not grayish and poorly lit in night scenes so you can hardly make out who is doing what. The 1969 version wins out on that.
Robert Duvall as Lucky Ned Pepper was great casting too.

There was a parody book on Comics that was noteworthy for the illustrations being very well done comic panels. One joke was on the uses for sidekicks and it showed Pogo Man missing half of the evil plan because he can't hear the parts where the pogo stick is not outside the window, but his sidekick also pogoing allows the full plot to be revealed.
Anyhow a not so subtle running joke is the utility of 'stretching powers' with the ladies.

At some point it just gets past the whole "rating" thing.
It's a cultural phenomena, and I think people tend to go through stages of these things. One day you're delving into the whole Beatles catalog, and then a year or so later, you put it down.
You experienced as best you could, the output, and wherever you came into it probably greatly influences how you feel about it.
I just think it's rather pointless to "rate" the Beatles, the way one might rate, for example, Blink 182.

but they definitely went off the rails

She can be annoying. Chaney calls her "little bookkeeper"; the horse trader implies that he wishes she'd been the girl who fell into a giant hole in a nearby road; she loudly decries Rooster's drinking, etc. But she has her own form of "grit."
And the final scene in the 1969 movie sends you out of the theatre smiling, instead of the rather grim narration and final scene with the adult Mattie in the remake (and the novel, of course).

Robert Duvall is one of my all time favorites, especially as Gus in Lonesome Dove. Such a great character.
Posted by: hobbitopoly at May 20, 2025 05:58 PM (k9OZB)
Robert Duval had a better eye for picking good scripts and getting into them than any other actor I can think of. You look at the list of great movies of the 60's, 70's, and even 80's and it's amazing how many Robert Duvall shows up in. I was rewatching Bullitt again a little while ago, a taxi pulls up and Steve McQueen interviews the driver - oh look it's Robert Duvall! Total bit part, but he found a way to get himself into the movie.

I have always hated Sgt Pepper's.
It's the result of a band that has reached so high that nobody is willing to say 'no'.
The production that people want to praise it what makes it so awful, imo.
Probably why I never liked Steely Dan. Amazing players. But the Production Style is off putting to me.
I like garage rock / DIY more.
Posted by: garrett at May 20, 2025 05:53 PM (SIRiz)
I think "Let It Be" is a great, standalone record, and even better when you lay it next to the "Naked" release.
Some of their best songs, and it felt like they were having fun making it. Even if they weren't.

the premise of Ladyhawke is that a couple have been cursed by a corrupt priest. The man turns into a wolf by night, the woman into a hawk by day, so they're never able to be with each other.

Great film. He's a bishop, not a priest, btw.
Arguably Michelle P.'s most alluring role.
Well, maybe her being Pacino's babe in Scarface is a close runner up. She had the skinny bitch addict thing down cold. Wonder how she learned the role?

Any comic book with the male hero in tight spandex is totally ghey. I stuck with horror comics, SGT Rock, Weird War Tales and Jonah Hex. Hex was a favorite of mine, because of his philosophy "I'll stick to my code, if I have to kill every last man, woman and child in town to do it."

I thought that full fantasy like "Neverending Story" worked well with 80s synth soundtracks. Added to the unreality. Like all that Bowie in "Labyrinth".
For mediaeval low magic fantasy like "Ladyhawke" it was laughable.

No, they weren't against the war, they were against the DRAFT. That was the only reason why they were against that particular war.

George Harrison was late to the songwriting game, but I personally find his songs to be timeless. His are the ones that sound freshest to me. 'Something', 'Here Comes the Sun', 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', 'Taxman' are some of them.

Same here. I had a Beatles guitar book.
George' harmonies (both in time and chords) stand out.
At one point all Lennon wanted to do is put chords that clashed the most back-to-back. (So, a sort of proto-punk, I guess).

The finale is grim, but it's also absolutely perfect that a proper woman of the late 1800's would refer to a man as "trash" if he didn't have the courtesy to stand up when he spoke to her. A big part of her grit was that she had no mercy, and no pretense. She didn't care that he had been part of the James gang, she spoke properly to the man who treated her with civility.
That one scene tells you as much about her character as the rest of the movie does.

Vietnam was a strategic blunder, and one Kissinger rightly tried to get us out of - but the "anti-war" side didn't want the war to end, they wanted an American strategic defeat.
And, when the same actors were in positions of power, they thought nothing of throwing American might around in pointless wars in Somalia and Serbia.

Being a New Yorker, you have absolutely no clue what it means to go through The Citadel, earn your college degree and be the first woman to do it.
