Spin Zone / Re: Racist

When Obama was first elected, there were a bunch of black people on the news talking about how excited they were to vote for the first time. This wasn't young people, but people 40 years and up, and that they were excited to vote for a black person. How come nobody calls them racist for voting for a black person?

The Ghotsbusters remake was awful. Melissa McCarthy was just terrible in it and Leslie Jones character was just written very poorly. Kate McKinnon was about the only thing that saved it. Oceans 8 was pretty good. But I also have a thing for both Sandra Bullock and Anne Hathaway, so my opinion may be biased.
Just read that they are doing another Ghostbusters for next year, but this time it will be 2 males and 2 females as the main characters. The kicker is they are kids. Not sure about this.....

I like my coffee like I like my women. Strong and Black.
I like mine hot and wet..... But seriously, I hate all other forms of coffee unless the temp is hot and it's in liquid form.

Unfortunately it looks like I will be only able to make a trip for one day this year. I wasn't able to get surgery earlier, and I will be borrowing my in-laws mobility scooter to get around. Funny thing is I plan to talk to some schools about transferring credits and flight training towards a degree, and talk to some of the regionals that are there about future career. Can't wait to see their faces as I roll up in a scooter!

American is a race now? Nice try.

« on: July 16, 2019, 09:42:55 AM »Dr. Who has been around longer, though it did have a long hiatus. It is immensely popular. It is possible that the producers are trying to hook into the current zeitgeist, though that can't be the only thing. These films take a long time to make, so by the time it comes out society might have moved on. This whole thing is pretty suspect anyway, since the last Bond flick helmed by Daniel Craig hasn't even come out yet.
I can't believe anyone would wager hundreds of millions of dollars (what it costs to produce and promote a Bond movie) merely for political correctness.
I can. All movies for the most part can be a crap shoot. Look at all the uproar over the past few years of the gender pay gap that seems to exist in Hollywood. They for sure will cast more females in a male lead to say they are fixing the problem.

« on: July 16, 2019, 08:59:54 AM »Exactly what everyone said when they made Dr. Who a woman. Yet here she is, and the show is better than ever. Whoever makes James Bond movies knows what they're about. If they think the lady can pull it off they're probably on to something.
Does Dr. Who have as big a following as James Bond? I don't know. I've never watched Dr. Who myself. I think the studio is trying to jump on the Wonder Woman/Captain Marvel bandwagon of having strong female leads. I think it will fail because those roles were already established as a woman lead, even though the original Captain Marvel was a man. I don't think it will work as 007 unless they completely rebrand the franchise, which will alienate the majority of the fans in the long run.

« on: July 15, 2019, 05:14:05 PM »^^^^^This. There are many examples of this in movies and TV today. Feminization, but also the over representation of LGBT, mainly Gay, Male individuals and couples to further feminize Men.
And making male leads bumbling idiots who can't survive without a woman ruling them.

Never heard of her, she may be a great actress and be great in the role of the new 007, but this will still be the end of the franchise I think. 007 is James Bond, a white, womanizing, alcoholic male. Don't change the character just for PC sakes. Look at how bad Hollywood screwed up the Ghostbusters all-female lead remake.

They'll show them how.

13 weeks at Parris Island, SC would be a great way to fix the snow flake problem before they get to college. Nothing like working out problems and emotions with endless pushups in the sand pit, and smoke sessions on the quarterdeck before lights out.
