'WHITE SHAMING' IS NEW RAGE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
- An assistant professor at the University of Iowa who pledged to expose her students to “their own white ignorance” in a “peer-reviewed academic journal” was stunned and appalled that she was, well, criticized for it.
Big brands shun straight, white
.
Amazon is just sitting there waiting for you..
BOX OFFICE DISASTER; MOVIEGOING SLOWS TO STANDSTILL...
.
Lowest Numbers Ever...
.
Even superheroes can't save...
.
The solution?
Don't show what people want.
THAT ought to make extra money
.
Theater Cancels 'Insensitive' 'GONE WITH THE WIND' Showings...
.
Netflix is laughing all the way to the bank.

In other news.
California Could Tax Drinking Water...
why the hell not?
An inconvenient truth: no one wants to see Al Gore's shitty movie.
(it's Paramount's fault, I swear)
If I wanted to be preached to I'd go to church.
Have you heard about our Lord and Savior, Global Warming?
Er, wait, I mean...Climate Change?
Oh, that banning of Gone with the wind is so incredibly stupid. I suppose Jezebel is probably on the same list and I really love that movie. Good thing the actors who played in those movies are dead now and don't have to witness this insanity. Could you imagine Clark Gable apologizing for playing Rhett Butler?
Hollyweird underwent a RADICAL change in the seventies..
I wonder if she was going to inform her students that Iowa early on in its statehood banned Negroes from entering the state. They were unlawful.
I suspect she's hammered them with that point repeatedly.
Can you imagine those racist bigoted white people wanting to be left alone?
That's horrible.
Meanwhile, more retail stores are expected to close this year than in 2008, the peak of "the great recession."
the word disruption comes to mind.
I can't give you empirical data - but from what read around the net, there does seem to be big push back against hollywood in general, and lot's of 'block busters' just aren't performing...
hopefully my perception of the situation is a true one...I stopped watching hollywood a long time ago
I stopped watching television in the seventies.
I rarely watch movies...can't recall the last time I went to a theatre..
when I do watch movies it's generally 'netflix originals'...on this computer..
and not all that often.
me neither - theatre.
The only thing i have watched on tv in the last 4 years, is' vikings' - which i re watch, and is excellent IMO, and game of thrones -( because vikings isn't on till next year.) - the rest is historical docu's etc
(if you know the story line of GoT, check out my spoiler thread (its not a spoiler) - its just silly/funny take on it. If you don't watch it, don't bother - it will make no sense to you, whatsoever)
I dislike the Author of GOT...
that would adversely predjudice me agains the book...or TV show.
it really isn't lord of the rings, - you aren't not missing too much.
If I had an appointment watching some paint dray, I wouldn't feel like i was missing out!
I haven't watch Lord of the Rings either.
I'm not into fantasy all that much.
Me neither really, but I see Tolkiens story, one of describing the conflicts happening now - the death of humanity v's the fight for humanity.
More of an introduction to the big picture, for people.
