| Despite Weak U.S. Box Office, ‘No Time to Die’ is Hollywood’s Biggest Film of 2021 Posted: 23 Nov 2021 11:00 AM PST
Despite weaker than expected domestic box office, according to Deadline, the latest James Bond flick ‘No Time to Die‘ crossed $733M worldwide this weekend, making it the highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2021 — and of the pandemic era.
After topping $708M through last Sunday, and becoming the biggest Hollywood movie overseas in 2021 and throughout the pandemic, we've been expecting Mr. Bond to overtake the previous global leader, Universal's own F9 ($725M WW cume and the only other studio movie to cross $700M this year). In total to date, Daniel Craig's last turn as 007 has an estimated gross of $154M domestic and $579M at the international box office. The Cary Joji Fukunaga-directed 25th Bond pic initially released in late September in most overseas markets; it then added North America, China and Australia in later weeks. On October 20, it became Hollywood's No. 2 movie of 2021 globally and continued to hit new benchmarks, crossing $700M last weekend. Overall throughout its run, it scored the biggest pandemic opening weekend in 36 markets.
Kneon over at Clownfish TV was shocked and had this to say in response.

| J.K. Rowling Snubbed by WarnerMedia’s Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Event Posted: 23 Nov 2021 08:30 AM PST
THR recently reported that, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone stars and filmmaker Chris Columbus are reuniting for the previously announced 20th anniversary retrospective on HBO Max,” to then reveal, "there's one notable omission from the list of participants: creator J.K. Rowling."
Huh?
Here is the list of those who made the list:
How is Rowling NOT invited? This is no mere oversight. There’s more.
John Nolte of Breitbart had the following take:
Shame on every person who's agreed to participate in this. They are all McCarthyite appeasers. It is outrageous to blacklist artists (or anyone) over any political belief, much less one grounded in the science of biology. Every person asked to participate in this reunion should have done the moral thing and said no unless Rowling was invited. They are cowards and quislings and should remember that history is never kind to censors and scolds. On this issue, Rowling has been both fact-based and compassionate. But that's not good enough for the Woke Gestapo that demands total fealty. Even the two so-called men Rowling helped to make famous and wealthy, those twerps Daniel Radcliffe and Eddie Redmayne, have stabbed her in the back. Money-grubbing cowards are what they are. The woke backlash has already begun, and I cannot wait to see Radcliffe and Redmayne and the rest of these fascists listed in the history books next to those who named names during the first McCarthy era.
Breitbart appears to be one of the only major news outlets that is making note of how egregious this is. And they do not obscure, and are respectful, of Rowling’s openly left-wing political views, but maintain that the Harry Potter author has been spot on regarding this issue, which is why she is increasingly become a target for her views on transgenderism and women’s rights.
Yesterday, Rowling openly discussed the death threats she has received after the “trans community” doxed her, revealing her home address. The author made following statement on Twitter:
"Last Friday, my family's address was posted on Twitter by three activist actors who took pictures of themselves in front of our house, carefully positioning themselves to ensure that our address was visible."
Breitbart was also following this shocking story: Rowling said that she believes the activists who took the picture — all of whom have since deleted their Twitter accounts — did so in order to "intimidate me out of speaking up for women's sex-based rights." The author said that as a result of her address being shared online, she has received "so many death threats I could paper the house with them." Defiantly, Rowling said that the threats against her life have not stopped her from "speaking out."
Rowling is a very outspoken liberal and identifies as a proud feminist, who regularly pushes back against efforts by the “trans community” to change language related to womanhood and transgender people. Here is but one example:
In spite of being uninvited to the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter, the doxing, and the death threats from the “trans community,” Rowling remains firm and defiant, telling trans activists that the best way to "prove your movement isn't a threat to women, is to stop stalking, harassing and threatening us."

| Examining DC’s Political ‘Wonderful Women of the World’ WW Tribute Posted: 23 Nov 2021 06:15 AM PST
The Hill wrote a sugary article about DC’s “Wonderful Women of the World” special, supposedly written to celebrate Wonder Woman’s 80th anniversary, and here’s what they say about a lesbian couple in focus:
This is also the kind of people DC is employing now. Self-important people who believe their ideology demands more attention than what other LGBT practitioners face coming from Islamofascists, and it’s highly unlikely that any homosexual activists will ever take issue with Islam’s beliefs convincingly. For now, what this news confirms is that “Wonderful Women of the World” is little more than another far-left activist book, and a crucial reminder that DC can be just as far-left-leaning in their business conduct as Marvel can.
One more reason why their modern output should be avoided at all costs. This propaganda of theirs does no favors for Wonder Woman either.

| Ridley Scott Working on Pilot for Upcoming ‘Blade Runner’ TV Series Posted: 23 Nov 2021 04:45 AM PST
Ridley Scott, the filmmaker of the sci-fi classics Blade Runner and Alien, informed the BBC on Monday that Blade Runner is going to be adapted into a television series and shared that a pilot for an Alien program is also currently being developed. Scott directed the first Blade Runner film in 1982. Denis Villeneuve took over as director for Blade Runner 2049, the 2017 sequel.
It’s likely that the Alien show Scott referenced is the one currently under development for FX by Legion creator Noah Hawley and announced by Disney last December. Scott directed the first Alien film in 1979, with three sequels and two Alien vs. Predator spinoffs directed by others. He later returned to the franchise to direct two prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.
The Blade Runner project is something new that Scott discussed with the BBC that is distinct from the anime series Blade Runner: Black Lotus, which debuted on Adult Swim earlier this month. Blade Runner’s pilot episode has already been written, as has an ongoing series framework laid out of what would happen.

| Celebrities, Politicians & Media Beclown Selves After Rittenhouse Acquittal Posted: 22 Nov 2021 04:10 PM PST
Despite his acquittal on murder and all other counts, Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts on ABC’s “The View” on Monday that she felt Kyle Rittenhouse “murdered” two men last year, at violent skirmishes after a Black Lives Matter demonstration and destructive protests in Kenosha, WI. Rittenhouse shot and killed two individuals and wounded a third after offering medical attention to many others, and patrolling another area that had been vandalized.
“Let me show you what got to me, the thing no one was really talking about,” Goldberg said. “The father of Anthony Huber, one of the young men shot and killed by Rittenhouse, puts things into perspective for me at least and on CNN.” During the interview she shared, John Huber said, "You know that guy gets to run free a now a hero. This is my son right here. This is Anthony. We lost our son. And there's no justice for our family and no closure. There wasn't going justice in that Kenosha court with that judge."
Goldberg said, "He wasn't doing anything. Was trying — he saw an active shooter. He saw someone get shot. He thought he was doing the right thing. So even all the excuses in the world does not change the fact that three people were shot. Two people were murdered. To me, it's murder. I'm sorry. I'll never forget that man."
That “man” is none other than Anthony Huber who was fatally shot after chasing and attacking Kyle Rittenhouse on August 25, 2020 What Goldberg fails to mention was that Anthony Huber was a convicted felon with a violent past. He had a criminal history including once threatening to "gut" his brother "like a pig" while holding a butcher's knife to his stomach. Below is but a portion of his lengthy record of violence.
Not only does Whoopie expect you to believe he chased Rittenhouse and smacked him with his skateboard in a failed effort to try to heroically stop Rittenhouse from continuing his “mass shooting spree,” but that Huber was a hero.
As for Huber’s father, John, here is a video segment at the end of a nearly hour-long hearing, where Huber wanted Rittenhouse’s bond raised. The relevant portion of the video is embedded below, where you can see Huber’s father in the lower right, wearing a black mask while alone on Zoom, flipping the bird to the judge and Kyle Rittenhouse. He also appeared to be making angry comments, but he was muted and we couldn't determine what he was saying. We know he’s probably in mourning, but come on.
Whoopie and her fellow travelers were not alone in their misguided defense of the dead. Here’s Reese Witherspoon proving she isn’t quite as legally savvy as her ‘Elle Woods’ character.
For the record, crossing state lines is not a crime and is not relevant to one’s right to defend one’s life from rioters who try to take your firearm. It’s a free country and we can all go where we want. Rittenhouse lived about a mile from the state line. He worked in Kenosha, and his dad lived there. Furthermore, he was guarding a small business and providing medical care for the injured, while being armed for his own protection. One hit him with a skateboard, and another pointed a pistol at him.
Disney, Marvel and Star Wars actors certainly weren’t immune to the sweet smell of gaslight either. Up first, we have Pedro Pascal, the star of Disney’s The Mandalorian. This is the Star Wars actor that should’ve been fired for bad Twitter takes, not Gina Carano.
Here’s Marvel Studios’ Avengers actor Mark Ruffalo, who can always be counted on to provide a spicy communist’s version of events.
And not to be outdone by her older Disney veterans, here’s the next Snow White live-action actress giving it her best preferred pronouns effort, with some extra racism thrown in for good measure.
And for the record, here is the convicted child rapist Ruffalo is referring to affectionately with the pet name “JoJo” earlier on the night of his death, using the n-word (it’s been muted in the below video) and aggressively daring armed men to shoot him. This is the person whose death these Hollywood actors are mourning.
The Pima County AZ Clerk of Courts has also confirmed that Joseph ‘JoJo’ Rosenbaum (the white racist featured in the embedded video above) was charged by a grand jury with 11 counts of child molestation and inappropriate sexual activity around children, including anal rape. The victims were five boys ranging in age from nine to 11 years old. So not only was he a virulent racist with violent tendencies, but he also anally raped little boys. No wonder pedoland, I mean Hollywood, is mourning his death after a jury of Kyle Rittenhouse’s peers acquitted him for acting in self-defense.
Even formerly cool rock bands got in on the act, somehow conflating these violent provocateurs who were destroying the city with Black Lives Matter freedom fighters marching for righteousness. This is a bad flex. Let’s all rename them ‘Rage Against Facts & Reason’
Other dumb modern bands were not very impressive either. Does these group not understand that everyone involved was white?
It’s a good thing he was carrying or he would be dead and none of these celebrities would care. Neither would the fake news media.
And of course, no progressive politician was going to let this crisis go to waste.
Does she really expect us to believe she thinks those guys Rittenhouse shot were “protestors”? And without fail, even a few washed up comic book creators got in on the act with their misinformed hot takes.
Breitbart News noted that many other celebrities including Sophia Bush, Alyssa Milano, Bette Midler, and Josh Gad have also lamented Rittenhouse's acquittal, many calling it a victory for "white supremacy."
While anyone can reasonably criticize Rittenhouse’s decision to come to Kenosha and allow himself to become isolated from his fellow compatriots and citizens, putting himself in a position where shooting was his only alternative, no one is calling him a ‘model of civic responsibility’ for aligning himself with what amounted to a vigilante group after the local police proved they were either unwilling or unable to reign in the violent rioters and looters.
In the end, we must all remember that a court of law acquitted Rittenhouse based on the evidence, and the persons he killed were men with criminal histories who were behaving exactly how we would expect violent felons to behave. They were not helpless victims and they should not be considered “heroes” by any stretch of the imagination. They were adult men who each made very the deliberate decision to attack another man who was carrying a gun, and they were shot – end of story.
