Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?Netflix appointed feminist DEI director Greta Gerwig to direct its new Narnia series -- based, of course, on the very clear Christian allegory book by C.S. Lewis. An allegory so obvious that even fellow Christian J.R.R. Tolkien thought it was a bit much. The feminist did exactly what you'd guess she would do -- she has gender-flipped Aslan, the clear Christ figure in the story.I think they're just calling him a "he" for the moment, to tamp down on backlash. They only have three tricks -- deconstruct; rewrite to propagandize about Current Day Isssues; race- and gender-flip -- and they just do these same three tricks over and over, and then demand praise. Groomer Network Disney will enable ads on its channel -- even for subscribers who are paying extra to not see ads at all. Disney has updated its subscriber agreement in parts of Europe to expressly permit advertising before or after content across every Disney+ plan, including tiers marketed as ad-free. Disney's U.S. agreement already allows limited promotions, sponsorship messages, product integrations, and certain other exceptions on ad-free plans. However, the newly reported European language more explicitly permits "advertisements before/after playback" on all tiers.Sony's new Gay Wolverine game -- which features a homosexual yearning between Wolverine and his nemesis, and half-brother, Sabertooth -- is being censored in Middle East countries do to its "Pride" content. The game, by the way, is bad. Skill Up says it's one of the worst Triple A releases he's played. In addition to being repetitive, it's also low-skill to a fault. The game's levels are the typical single-path linear tracks, but the game assumes you are stupid and points out the way to go, using Wolverine's "scent" ability to draw a glowing bright blue trail for you to follow, and won't let you lose Quick Time Events. This itself seems to be a political choice. If you're not a gamer, you probably don't know that there's an argument in the gaming world about whether games should require skill and should be difficult to beat, or if they should be "for everyone" and hand you a win just for pushing the top arrow button. I'm a very casual gamer myself so I appreciate games having an easy or moderate mode, but this game seems to take that to extremes, and doesn't offer a harder difficulty for those who want to actually beat a game using skill. Skill is racist and discriminatory. It's going to bomb, terribly. And it cost over $300 million. (Yes, Triple A titles cost as much to produce as big spectacular blockbuster movies.) This guy says his estimates show that while the game sold okay for its first three days, word of mouth has collapsed sales since then: JayViperZach Snyder is in director jail -- where they put directors who've had a run of poor-performing films -- after the very divisive results with the DC movies and then the much-mocked Rebel Moon Star Wars copy-pastes he did for Netflix. So, to get himself out of director jail, he's refuting his rumored conservative leanings and telling everyone he loves The Gays. He's also pitching himself as the right director for a Dark Knight Returns live action production, though he stole much of the plot of that for his poorly-received Batman v. Superman movie. I don't hate the guy for trying to ingratiate himself to his Leftist Masters. He's in steep career decline and can't afford the industry being against him just because his politics are slightly right of center (maybe?). But I don't think this is going to work. SJWs never forgive. They don't even forgive imaginary sins. Mark Ruffalo actually wind up helping Paramount/Skydance win in its effort to buy Warner/Discovery? Maybe -- the communist imbecile was a loud and angry agitator against the merger, but he may have blown up his side by attempting his own merger, merging the fake "anti-trust" concerns with open antisemtism. Tasty. What's even tastier is that the Ellisons are seeking Elon Musk's investment in the company. Paramount executives reportedly have discussed asking billionaire Elon Musk to take an equity stake in its $81 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery -- a move that could fuel the burgeoning panic among CNN staffers. Hollywood mogul David Ellison is looking to build up his media empire's finances ahead of the mega merger, and has been mulling over several wealthy individuals who could back the deal, according to a Semafor report. The size of the investment that Paramount is seeking is unclear. His father, Oracle founder and Trump ally Larry Ellison, is currently on the hook for more than $40 billion of the equity financing supporting the acquisition, and a contribution from Musk -- a close friend -- could help reduce the burden, the report said. An investment from Musk could incite uproar at left-leaning CNN, where staffers are already in a panic about potential layoffs and who will be in charge of the network once David Ellison takes over, sources told The Post. .. Layoffs weren't addressed in detail by the California settlement -- and employees at both companies fear a bloodbath in the months ahead. "When it rains...[it pours]," one CNN source said of the Musk news. "It's really scary given what he did at X and DOGE."Love it. Male Karen and former comedian Bill Burr says that CEOs shouldn't have rushed to condemn Luigi Mangione but instead asked, "Why do they hate us?" That's a favorite take of the pro-terrorism party that we've been hearing since literally 12 hours after 9/11. This fat ginger also has a role as a Male Karen in the upcoming anti-Zuckerberg hit-piece movie. Now, you may say Zuckerberg deserves to be hit, but this movie thinks he should be castigated not for his rampant censorship but for slightly resisting Biden's demands for censorship, and then later rolling it back when the political winds changed.

Peachy Keenan has a director friend who hated Digger and said it was the worst film he's ever seen:
-------------------- A very good friend of mine who is a longtime director and writer went to a screening of Tom Cruise’s new movie, Digger, at the Director’s Guild headquarters in Hollywood yesterday. When you’re a director and belong to the DGA, you get to see every movie for free at their plush on-site movie theater. My friend is a lifelong cinephile with an encyclopedic knowledge of movies, actors, and director techniques. He makes dramas and thrillers; he has excellent taste in movies and has a knack for predicting trends. And like me, he absolutely loves Tom Cruise. We are kids of the 1980s, so of course we do. But he walked out of Digger half way through it! Posted by: beckster at September 28, 2026 04:19 PM (kX27y) 29

It's all garbage bagged shite.
Hollywood or any tv might as well roll over and accept that Taylor Sheridan is the only person creating new stuff at this point. Altho most of it eventually involves boobs and/or blondes and he appears on some shows like Lioness. We watch his stuff for reasons unknown. Lots of cussing, violence, blood and gore. We sometimes note if any star can get through a few sentences without the f word. Yet we watch. Creative writers all seemed to have done too much dope or died before and during covid. And now, even with Sheridan, you get maybe 9 shows per season vs 20 or 22. I miss the old days of shows starting in the fall and ending in May like school. This would now be beyond the brain power and endurance of "actors" and directors. So much work and hardship to be paid a ton of money for each show. I suppose we could resort to parcheesi (I don't know the rules and would make them up). There's always football for my dude. I find something on Amazon or read. Meryl Streep, eh? The Weinstein Oscar who never said a bad word against him. As she had "no knowlege of his crimes." Sure, Meryl. I am uncertain which accent is best for those words.

The Elizabeth Holmes story is fascinating in it's own way. I mean she hoodwinked George Schultz for goodness sake. And his grandson was key to revealing the hoax and he took a big risk for doing so. Can't believe she's out of jail already. Sounds like the actress was able to imitate the creepy voice, which is another subplot unto itself.

On a happier note, the wife and I watched "Forgotten Island" on Saturday. It was quite good, and she especially liked it as a Filipino, since it uses Filipino folklore. Dreamworks has been having some good hits recently. On larger ideas, it reinforces the problems of diversity, since it works well by being coherently Filipino. The setting is the Philippines, the characters are Filipino, the folklore is Filipino. It all come together nicely with a solid emotional conflict between the two main characters.

r/Narnia
Greta Gerwig thinks the idea of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is "creepy." Jesus can take the form of a lion, but not of a lion voiced by a woman? Jesus doesn’t sing the world into existence and doesn’t answer to a far off emperor either. The theology in Narnia is a little bit twisted. As a non-believer fan I am extremely put off by the attitude here. It’s fucking toxic and depressing and I want nothing to do with it. I loved these books as a kid and I’m excited they’re getting screen time. TMN is the most interesting Narnia book by and deserves a creative telling of it. as a non-Evangelical Christian, I’m put off by this sub too. It’s giving MAGA vibes. Even down to the token “non-Christians” who are weirdly defensive about how offensive a woman voicing a lion is to Christians and how perturbed they are over this severe religious persecution. This sub is starting to sound like Fox News segments on the war on Christmas, aka Starbucks Happy Holidays cups. She didn't say Jesus is creepy. She was talking about a certain kind of religious expression. It's pretty obvious if you read for comprehension instead of outrage.

If you're not a gamer, you probably don't know that there's an argument in the gaming world about whether games should require skill and should be difficult to beat, or if they should be "for everyone" and hand you a win just for pushing the top arrow button.

I'm a very casual gamer myself so I appreciate games having an easy or moderate mode, but this game seems to take that to extremes, and doesn't offer a harder difficulty for those who want to actually beat a game using skill.
There's a video, well, probably several by now, of a guy streaming while he's playing Wolverine. There's a section where Wolverine has to catch up to some bad guys in tractor trailer trucks carrying weapons on a highway in the mountains. The dude playing went through the entire mission just pressing up occasionally. Even when he let go Wolverine would keep riding and bump into cars and walls and trees, say "Arrgghh!", and then it would right itself and keep on going. You had to literally try and crash to crash. The only way the guy got stopped is when he ran off the road and got stuck on a boulder in some kind of glitch. Posted by: SpeakingOf at September 28, 2026 04:31 PM (6ydKt) 86

I watched The Rivals of Amziah King this past weekend. The first half, excepting the gnarly scalping scene, was amazing. I loved it. The second half, without Matthew McConaughey and focusing on the "native" girl's revenge story, was wretched. It was two different movies, and I only wanted the first. So watch the first half and ignore the rest of it, if you absolutely must see. But do search out the potluck scene on utube if you can find it. It's gold.

Zach Snyder has given an update to the long-awaited (who? who wants it?) 3 installment of Rebel Moon:
"I don't know.

Hollywood is so disconnected from regular American people that they are almost pathologically incapable of making four quadrant movies. Snyder wasn’t interested in Superman or Batman as audiences like them, so he gave us his execrable “Batman v Superman”. Gerwig is just the latest refrain of the same tired verse. Marvel is probably the last gasp of movie making for Middle America and that’s on shaky ground.

I read an article about it and it mentions they gave the him so much access that the husband would take showers, glass-door, with the door open.

I watched The Rivals of Amziah King this past weekend. The first half, excepting the gnarly scalping scene, was amazing. I loved it. The second half, without Matthew McConaughey and focusing on the "native" girl's revenge story, was wretched. It was two different movies, and I only wanted the first. So watch the first half and ignore the rest of it, if you absolutely must see. But do search out the potluck scene on utube if you can find it. It's gold.
Posted by: moki I saw it in the theater and I agree with you on the first half of the movie. It was terrific. I had no idea the honey business was so cut throat.

I'm old enough to remember when Hollywood directors tried to destroy a Mormon outfit that accepted your DVDs and sanitized them, returning a family friendly version of the movie.
The lie Hollywood told was that the Artist who created the work still owned it, no matter how much a person paid for a copy. the Artist had a right to prevent The Art from being altered in any way.

> And the Angels didn't sing "Hark! Glory to the new born King" cuz Angels don't sing.
I'm probably getting whooshed here, but strictly speaking you're right. The Bible doesn't say Angels sing. Typically in the Bible the Angels are described as "calling" or "crying" praise or holy declarations. Traditions says they were singing. Job 38:7 refers to the "morning stars" singing and the "sons of God" shouting. But I still like to think of the liturgical praise of Angels being sung.

They sure do sing. Both themselves and through those of us with good voices. My singing voice is my gift from God. No where in Scripture does it say that angels sing. If you think about it, it makes sense. Singing, like Art is a feature of being Imago Dei. Furthermore, music is very cultural, and for it to be good, the singer should be trained and skilled. Also singing, technically is not a fruit of the Spirit or numbered among the Gifts of God, so when saying "gift from God" its gratuitous. Where two or more are gathered, there is an argument of what music should be played. Posted by: Community Notes at September 28, 2026 05:22 PM (NzX/y) 275
