Clueless Hollyweird still not getting my money

Hollywood has been tanking at the box office for the last couple years. Between the “wokeness” of their films and the out-of-touch stars, it’s not a surprise that many Americans have turned their back on their products.

I recently saw the trailer for the new movie, Twisters – a sequel to the 1996 film Twister. It looked good and thought we might go see it even though we haven’t been to a movie theater in years. Take a look:

Then I did a little digging into the movie because I didn’t want to waste my money on any wokeness. And, of course, I found some. From an interview with the screenplay writer:

“Another notable change to the movie from its predecessor is the way it will incorporate the theme of climate change into the narrative. Weintraub asked about the impact that thirty years of global warming would have on the size and scale of the storms that would be seen on-screen, and Smith admitted that it would be a key factor in the plot of the film. “That’s one of the things that we kind of tapped, and it’s true,” he confirmed. “I talked to so many storm experts, tornado experts, storm chasers, and rode around with some. Even the tornado season itself, because of climate change, what used to be tornado alley going through a certain stretch. It now extends so further east, and it’s moving across, and the dates are wider, and the numbers are higher, and the storms themselves are more violent. So we did use elements of that just to shine a light on it, as well, the causes and effects of climate change.”

Can’t I just see a movie without having some political hoax shoved down my throat? Apparently not. Another Hollyweird movie I will not be seeing.

Then there are the Hollyweird stars who are so out of touch with reality…

Actress Cate Blanchett was at Cannes Film Festival promoting a new movie, Rumours, which sounds like a complete dud. The premise: “World leaders meet at the G7 but get lost in the woods whilst trying to compose a joint statement on an unspecified global crisis. Beset by thick fog and menaced by undead bog bodies and a giant brain, they navigate the tortured passions between them.”

Hard pass on that movie, too, especially after hearing this:

While speaking of her experience with refugee filmmakers, Cate Blanchett said the following: “I’m white, I’m privileged, I’m middle class and I think one can be accused of having a bit of a white savior complex.”

“Middle class” actress Cate Blanchett

Speak for yourself, honey. FYI: Cate Blanchett is worth $95 million.

Hollyweird ruins everything they touch.
