It is already happening in commercial. How many bi-couples, families have we seen since last Thanksgiving? It is so prominent it could be the next drinking game.

Bi-racial, but not too bi-racial. The blacks have to be light brown, apparently.

And it's coming at the worst possible time for Hollywood as they brace for the impact from the pandemic.

It's going to be hard enough to get people back into movie theaters. If they're downgrading quality just to look more "diverse", fewer people will pay to watch.

Lol, sorry Hollywood, we tried to warn you.

Hollywood folks having issues with employment?

I literally can't think of anything I care less about.

Maybe the health and safety of the ants outside in my yard.

Maybe...

A Hollywood movie is a pretty good representation of the entire issue. It's difficult to have more than one lead in a 2 hour story. So how do you pick one person to represent everybody? It's impossible. No one person can totally represent all groups. That's why you have to resort to assessing them purely as an individual and how they satisfy the target audience (buyers).

it seems like almost everything coming out is crap.

I've nearly quit watching new movies the last 5 years or so. They simply ceased putting out anything interesting to me. That includes Netflix/Hulu,etc.

Get Out was kinda huge

You probably haven't heard of most movies that are successful if you pay no attention to Hollywood

NOT SAFE FOR WORK but funny as heck

Seriously, with the speed at which series can be put out, the days of the huge Hollywood movies are over.

But it's still fun to watch liberals eat their own.

you reap what you sow.

Making movies for 13% of the American population and 1-3% of the population isn't going to pay off for Hollyweird........ in America or anywhere else.

But when the inevitably happens, they'll blame the movie going public. Because we're all a bunch of racists.

CCP is happy to use Hollywood to spread their propaganda to the West and to create divisions that makes the West more vulnerable to collapse. I am sure they are using the NBA and NFL the same way.

As Hollywood and pro sports fade, they will have their own entertainment and sports enterprises ready to fill the void. This way they not only control the entire message but they will be able to continually remind the world of the superiority of the (communist) Chinese.

Edit to add: conspiracy theory, yes. But with all the craziness going on, anything seems possible.

It's been going on for years, but now virtually every commercial unless both people are black. The exception of course is if it is a homosexual couple and then they are usually the same race and often white.

Just like how every commercial with a criminal, it is always a white guy.

The Romans were right, anyone who works in entertainment is lower than a prostitute. We should treat them as such.

Great thread OP! And great responses as well.

Awhile back John Cleese, who played Q's assistant in The World Is Not Enough and then Q in Die Another Day complained about how, in his opinion, catering to the Chinese market had changed Bond films. After those two movies the Bond folks decided to change the tone of the movies, eliminate the humor that had always been a part of the franchise, and instead emphasize violence and action scenes.

I recall that Cleese's comments were specifically aimed at the Chinese market, but when I just googled the topic the link I found stated his comments were directed at the "Asian market". A subtle change, but is it just another case of not "offending" the Chinese?

Here is the link.

https://www.fr24news.com/a/2020/06/john-cleeses-shocking-statements-about-the-james-bond-franchise-unveiled-in-the-middle-of-the-fawlty-towers-row-celebrity-news-showbiz-tv.html

Quote:

. . . he lambasted the James Bond franchise for throwing naughty jokes, improbable gadgets, and dry British humor to appeal to viewers who longed for long action scenes which he said were aimed at people. in Asia.

John Cleese made a number of criticisms of the new James Bond films, all of which starred Daniel Craig, for allegedly not attempting to appeal to the British public.The legend of the comedy, which depicted the brain of the inventor "Q" at the time of Pierce Brosnan in "The world is not enough" and "Die another day", evoked the state of the industry in a 2016 Telegraph article.

He groaned that the "fundamental flaw" of the franchise was that it was not funny enough and had too many action sequences.
. . .

"In addition, the money came from Asia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, where the audience is going to watch the action sequences, and that is why in my opinion, the action sequences last too long , and this is a fundamental flaw.

"The public in Asia is not going for subtle British humor or class jokes. "

The box office sales could be seen as partly reflecting his comments, as a number of Hollywood films were supported by the Asian market after a flop in the United States.

---

Also, films that have scenes that put the Chinese in a bad light are deleted. From the link:

---

Later, "Skyfall" would also be broadcast to the nation but was censored authorities removed scenes showing prostitution and torture by Chinese interrogators.

---

When was last time Hollywood censored scenes that made western countries look bad?

Very few people are going to the movie theater these days. These viture signals by a dying industry (same applies to sports) is their last attempt of having any relevance.

It's obvious from some Netflix shows that the writers are extremely progressive, likely gay, and don't like white guys.

Maybe this explains the Ghostbusters re-make?

Yes. That was pretty obvious. And it was hilarious how the cast whined when it was announced Ghostbusters would continue with their sequel set as a continuation after Ghostbusters 2 as if the remake never happened.

'I don't see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie,' Peele said. 'Not that I don't like white dudes. But I've seen that movie before.'

Racism is racism. Mr. Peele: You're racist. Good job.

HAHAHAHA. Actors right now....

I thought you were just making up a silly analogy until I googled "female Thor". Natalie Portman is "Thor - Love & Thunder"???

Literally LOL

Wow googled too. They will be baffled when the film flops financially, but they will receive a bunch of awards so I guess the investors will be happy.

It's not just Hollywood. Have you been paying attention to TV commercials of late ?

and Oceans 8

Wonder if they will at least get some money from sales of their McMansions- or if the Marxist regime come and tell them they have had privileged life long enough, and "get out"- your place now belongs to the people ( which means a few in power)
There will be no need for actors, journalists , reporters or any professors outside of STEM , in their order

Apparently 'The Help' was streaming at #1 for a time after the protests. Now some of the actors are distancing themselves from the film because it's being considered "too white" and "too stereotypical".

ABC just replaced Tom Bergeron as host of Dancing With The Stars. New host is Tyra Banks. But I guess Ryan Seacrest is safe because ...........

And Valkyrie is now a lesbian.

As for female Thor, at least they took that from the comics (which went full woke stupid long ago) and didn't make it up just for the movie. It's still just SJW pandering regardless.

I've noticed a big change on Netflix. Lots of movies and shows with black or women leads. Just look at the new Star Wars. It's weird but I've been finding myself going back watching the older movies with all white cast and strong white male lead actors. Guess I'm a racist ?
