Upcoming Animated Film on King David to be “Politically Correct” Posted: 30 Jun 2022 06:20 AM PDT
The Jerusalem Post tells of an animated film in the works based on biblical King David, produced by a south African animation studio called Sunrise (apparently not the same as the Japanese studio of a similar name), but there’s suggestions this could all be a most politically correct development indeed:
And here’s surely a beginning point of contention, or a sign of the mistakes about to be made: Disney and their Pixar affiliate are going off the deep end today in wokeness, and Dreamworks was originally co-founded by ultra-leftist Steven Spielberg, who himself has long lost the talent he used to have, as his most recent film, a needless remake of West Side Story, made clear. To say you’re going to make your cartoon similar to what men like Spielberg specialized in doesn’t inspire much confidence, mainly because he watered down Prince of Egypt a quarter century ago to appease anti-Israeli Islamists (yet it was barred for screening in most Muslim countries anyway), mainly by not depicting the ancient Israelites returning to their country. Yet that’s the very film they seem to be taking their cue from here:
But what if they’re not, considering the Dreamworks-produced cartoon was hardly the best rendition itself? These filmmakers say things, but only the finished product convinces, or doesn’t.
And this, I think, is silly wokeness to boot. It may be one thing to hire people with foreign accents, but it’s not like they have to be Israeli per se in order to provide an aura of authenticity. As though it weren’t bad enough the Simpsons resorted to this PC approach in the past few years. I don’t think this is a good idea either.
Oh, and what if it turns out former employees of these studios are little different from the SJWs running the stores today? Somehow, the recruitment of folks from these 2 companies doesn’t make me feel encouraged or inspire confidence. Honestly, I think in the end, the Bible is best left to the books, because with all the PC running amok these days, there’s little chance it’ll be done justice.

Tom Cruise Celebrates Maverick’s $1B Milestone With Special Message Posted: 30 Jun 2022 04:45 AM PDT
Last weekend, the oft-delayed Top Gun sequel passed the $1 billion mark at the global box office, elevating Tom Cruise’s victorious return to the big screen as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Cruise expressed his gratitude to viewers in a congratulatory message, not just on behalf of the Top Gun: Maverick cast and crew for the success of their film, but also for everyone who has supported theaters and the movie-going experience.
Top Gun: Maverick is just the second movie to gross $1 billion since 2019, despite Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness coming up just short of making it a trilogy after a difficult couple of years for theaters during the global pandemic.
In a post on Twitter, Cruise shared the following thank you:
Beyond the 30+ years it took to have the movie sequel made, it has been a lengthy road for Top Gun: Maverick to reach theaters. Following the initial reshoots, which pushed the release date to 2020, the Covid epidemic further postponed the movie. After being scheduled for a number of releases, being advertised, and then being cancelled, it appeared, briefly, that the film might end up being streamed exclusively on Paramount+.
Top Gun: Maverick is now Paramount’s second-highest grossing film ever, proving that they were right to stand by their principles. There is a strong likelihood that the movie may surpass Transformers: Age of Extinction as its current highest selling after earning another $30 million domestically this weekend.

Exposed: The False Prophet and the Cult Inside Google Posted: 29 Jun 2022 03:25 PM PDT
For a while now, I've been shedding light on how most cultural and economic institutions, including Big Tech, subscribe to a cult mentality.
If the allegations made in a recent lawsuit are to be believed, Google in particular is being taken over by an actual cult.
A defining feature of a cult is dividing people into insiders versus outsiders and then working to ostracize those who are on the outs. If Lloyd really was fired over a disagreement with the Fellowship, it lends credence to claims of their cult status.
So how did the cult gain a foothold at Google in the first place?
These are the same nepotistic hiring practices that Silicon Valley has used for years to replace American workers with subcontinental indentured servants. So it's amusing to see a hippie style crystals and incense cult exploit the same loopholes.
But who are these guys, anyway?
Looks like they're not a death cult per se – more a New Age grift in the vein of Carlos Castaneda.
Note that this group still has over 1500 members despite its leader's dismal track record as a prophet.
People talk about the decline in sexual morality and the erosion of freedom, but an overlooked consequence of sidelining the Bible from the public square is this proliferation of false prophets. They'd think twice if the biblical punishment for false prophecy was still in force.
Just sayin'.
But speaking of sexual immorality …
Multiple failed prophecies didn't discredit Burton in most of his followers' eyes. Even serious sex abuse allegations only convinced 100 members to leave. You can't reason someone out of a cult.
The media are focusing on the Fellowship's infiltration of Google to distract from the even weirder and more dangerous transhuman bugman cargo cult that already holds sway there. And whose policies let the Fellowship in.
And this is just the stuff we know about. Anything could be going on behind closed doors at Google's Mountain View technodome.
Regardless, one of the biggest companies on Earth, whose products and services are now essential to the operation of society is in the grip of at least two wacko cults.
Sweet dreams

Emma Roberts Joins Cast of Sony & Marvel Studios’ ‘Madame Web’ Posted: 29 Jun 2022 10:55 AM PDT
Emma Roberts is the latest addition to the ensemble cast of Sony Pictures' Madame Web starring Dakota Johnson. Also on board are Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced and Tahar Rahim for director S.J. Clarkson. Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless penned the screenplay, with Kerem Sanga also penning a previous draft.
Sony had no comment.
In the Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man universe, Madame Web is depicted as an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis and thus was connected to a life-support system that looked like a spider web. Due to her age and medical condition, Madame Web never actively fought any villains. For that reason, sources have stressed it's possible the project could turn into something else. Insiders say that due to her psychic sensory powers, she is essentially Sony's version of Doctor Strange. Roberts' role in the film in unknown.
For Roberts, this will mark her first Marvel pic after recently wrapping production on upcoming romcom Maybe I Do, which also stars Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon and Richard Gere. She also continues to be a go to for new seasons of American Horror Story, most recently appearing in American Horror Story: 1984.

Bucking the Trend: Paramount+ Won’t Censor Classic Programs Posted: 29 Jun 2022 08:25 AM PDT
According to The Guardian, Paramount will not filter any content that some might consider to be controversial in any of the classic movies and television episodes on its streaming service. Paramount+, a subscription-based service, and instead will maintain the original versions of those classic works, according to Paramount CEO Bob Bakish, who spoke with the news source.
"By definition, you have some things that were made in a different time and reflect different sensibilities," he said.
Bakish added, "I don't believe in censoring art that was made historically, that's probably a mistake. It's all on demand – you don't have to watch anything you don't want to."
Bakish's comments come as Paramount+, which has already been active in the U.S., is set to debut in the U.K. today.
Other streaming services have also opted not to remove works with outdated content, including Disney+, which instead added content advisories to classic films they felt depicted racist stereotypes.
Those films featuring these disclaimers are "Dumbo," "The Aristocats" and "Peter Pan." The post Bucking the Trend: Paramount+ Won't Censor Classic Programs appeared first on Bleeding Fool. |
Marvel Writer Jason Aaron Served as Consultant on Thor: Love & Thunder Posted: 29 Jun 2022 06:20 AM PDT
ComicBook reports that one of Marvel Comics’ “wokest” writers, who spent the past decade dumbing down their output, also worked as a story consultant on the new movie starring Thor’s mortal girlfriend, Jane Foster:
Ugh, this is truly dismaying, but hardly surprising, considering what a SJW he’s proven to be in the span of a decade.
So if it turns out the screenplay is dripping with woke ingredients, it’ll be expected, based on studio owner Disney’s recent track record. One more reason to avoid the new Thor sequel and stay far away from it. Aaron also created that supervillain called Gorr, and a character with a name like that is another reason to decidedly stay away; it’s just so revolting. More proof how much the Marvel movie franchise is continuing to deteriorate.

Johnny Depp’s Rep Flatly Debunks ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Return Rumor Posted: 29 Jun 2022 04:45 AM PDT
After a report that musician and actor Johnny Depp was being courted by Disney with a $301 million offer to reprise his role as Jack Sparrow in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean films, rumors abounded. According to the source, Disney also wrote Johnny Depp a letter of apology and was working on a script specifically for him.
This source asserted:
Yesterday, a representative for Depp released a four word statement in response:
During the actor's defamation trial where he prevailed against ex-wife Amber Heard, the actor was asked by Heard's defense attorney Ben Rottenborn,
Depp replied:
The Jack Sparrow actor has repeatedly stated that he does not want to go back to the Caribbean, and franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer has stated that the actor is not currently being considered for any role in their current plans. The director also acknowledged that Disney presently holds two distinct screenplays for the movie Pirates. One of them purportedly has a Margot Robbie-played character and a cast that is predominately female. A terrible idea.
Meanwhile, Depp is getting ready to play King Louie XV in Jeanne du Barry, which will be his first film in a while, and has plans for a summer 2023 tour with his band the Hollywood Vampires. He has also just been spotted having a joy performing on stage with English rock musician Jeff Beck.
