I'm hard-pressed to think of the last time I paid money to watch a just-released Hollywood movie at a theater. When I attended a conference in Vancouver BC in 2002, I accepted the invitation from two other attendees to watch a theatrical screening of one of the Star Wars sequels that was current at that time. Afterward, I came away disappointed that the film didn't relate much of a story and merely showcased the latest special effects.

Why Is Leftist Entertainment So Divisive And Devoid Of Imagination?

When was the last time you saw an original story out of Hollywood that was worth watching (not counting Top Gun: Maverick)? When was the last time you experienced creative storytelling that did not involve the co-option and retelling of a previous work? When was the last time you saw a protagonist that was relatable, interesting and endearing? Hell, when was the last time you were actually excited to go to the movies or relax in front of the television to watch something new?

Reboots, soft reboots, remakes, live action remakes, re-imagining, gender swapping, race swapping, “rainbow washing” (making classic straight characters gay for virtue signal points): This is a list of new media tropes that have invaded entertainment in the past six years and all of them have been used so frequently that productions can now be quickly identified as woke propaganda by a mere two minute trailer.

The fascinating thing is, almost all of these productions fail miserably. In recent weeks alone we have seen the attempted woke re-writing of history with The Woman King, which fell flat at the box office after opening week, not even making enough money to cover production and advertising costs.
