    I remember roseanne from her early days of comedy. The righties cowered in fear and wanted to cancel the hell out of her for being an uppity woman. She was supposedly emasculating all men. Now she is embracing getting in the fucking kitchen and cooking for her husband because that is a woman's place because feminism scares tucker carlson's tanned testicles inside of him.

    Seriously, she should do some of her old material and we can see how long @Uncle Albert and @Rimjob Bob take before demanding she is cancelled.

    In the end her shit will fail because the right does not want to see roseanne's comedy, and they are not going to pay for tickets. It is just nice for them to use the old leftie feminist icon to own the libs because she switched sides. It is all an act, and the right is easier to con.

    If all you are going to do to own the libs is cheer on roseanne for ambien tweeting then great. No really because it isn't doing violence, overthrowing the country, banning non-WASP cishet people, or being a fascist pig. Go to your comedy show and get the fuck out of the street.

    However, when you do not buy tickets to her show it does not mean she is cancelled, it just means she does not get a venue if she cannot get the crowd. So if you want to see her own the libs you need to buy some tickets and pony the fuck up for her bullshit. It is not our job to keep her employed while trashing us. That is your job assholes.

    You haven't even seen these movies, but I suspect you don't like Terror on the Prairie because it's produced by The Daily Wire. It currently sits at 85% audience score. I'm sure you'll find a way to dismiss that.

    Bone Tomahawk was pretty good. I'll give their other films a shot at some point.

    Audience ratings only matter if the audience is broad enough. At a Trump rally, I'd expect a rating of 100% because the audience is made up of FF's family and a bunch of other Trumplickers.

    I don't think she was in Bone Tomahawk, but I agree, it's a good movie.

    Critics score sits at 83%. Now find a way to dismiss this as well.

    Well yeah,. Looking at the comments I suspect a lot of these folks haven't seen it either and are praising what it represents to them
    Like/dislike aren't in the equation.
    True, I'm not particularly enthused by the "studio", but there's also that the "plot" is somehow both generic and basic revenge of the lion(ess) against the (derivative) hyaenas. Factor in that Carano can't act nearly as well as the scenery around her, and...

    anyways, here's one review praising the Christian values... (another reason I'm not likely to waste 90+ minutes of my life on it any more than you'll click and read the entire review)


    Oh, also noteworthy that DW is apparently pretty specific about being non union and all libertarian (I guess?) about their projects. That's a red flag that they likely didn't have proper/industry standard supervision with the animals on set.

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm not particularly interested in "The Woman King" either because from what I've read of the synopsis, it's total fantasy. (The actual Dahomey Amazons got slaughtered the few times they were in actual combat and I suspect their role in procuring slaves to be sold to europeans will be overlooked).

    also, looking at IMDB's 230 reviews of it, only about 40 of them give it better than a 7, and at least half of those are fluffers.

    Fair enough.
    The Drinker did a review a while back that essentially said the same thing as those reviews. I haven't seen it on streaming and I have no intention of paying for it, but I'll watch it if I see it for free somewhere. As for The Woman King, I suspect it's a good movie. Lael Rockwell liked it. I agree though, I no longer have an interest in historical dramas if they're not going to make efforts to be as historically accurate as possible. Hollywood will praise the movie and it'll get awards.

    Even the care bears genocided all the other animals with cutie marks on their bellies. Everyone genocides. Not that it makes it right or something we should not be ashamed of, but we all fucking do it. Even fucking canadians did it.

    Everyone always mention the 6 million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis but never seem to mention other 7 million folks the Nazis systematically killed. Pacifists, gypsies, political prisoners, Catholic priests, homosexuals, Communists, the disabled, Soviet POWs, German anti-Nazis, Nazis who ran afoul of Hitler. Those folks might not have gotten gassed, but shot, hanged, starved, or neglected to death is still dead.

    They were The Carbear Cousins, and they transcended to The Dreaming.
    They help Lucien organize the library.

    She tweeted that Valarie Jarret looked like a chimp, which you can only say when someone is white. She apologized and fell on her sword, but her struggle session wasn't enough and she allowed the network to write her off her own show to save everyone would keep their jobs.

    damn, son.. straight to that angle, eh?

    meh...


    "struggle session?" is this more about the plight of caucasian boomer women?


    I suppose that's one way of looking at it.

    Meanwhile, they're 5 seasons in with a cast that (mostly) didn't need the work. I don't think she was in a position to "allow" anything.

    We had eight straight years of Chimpy McBushitler and no one said anything about saying Bush looks like a monkey. Valarie Jarrett, who looks as black as I do with a tan, gets a pass because somehow it's inhuman to say she looks like a chimp because it absolutely must be 100% rooted in racism and not because her ears stick out or her face looks like a chimp's. No matter what, blacks get a free pass because it is always racist.

    And no matter how much Roseanne said publicly she was wrong, stupid, impulsive, insensitive, a vile racist in her heart, and begged forgiveness, none was to be had. Why? Because she dared express wrongthink. How dare she!

    And while the cast might not have needed work, the crew did. Roseanne had the option to simply kill the show, but she opted to give it outright to ABC so it could continue and a bunch of people still get paid.

    meh.. 50 quatloos says every single one of the crew was working on three different things that same year. you can do the imdb spreadsheet yourself if you care to.

    she didn't have anything to give once they killed the character and changed the show's name.

    How many hands are you holding up?
