Why do they mistake the Great RichFuck Narcissist Exposition with Naked Gold Statues for reality? It's America's biggest game show poohbah.

I always find it funny when my relatives call Hollywood "librul".
The people who run studios, it's firstly about MONEY, then secondly about MONEY, and thirdly....
They have no imagination and want to produce Star Tek and Indiana Jones reboots for as long as
you folks will keep handing them money. The day that a SuperFly reboot tops box office records
is the day I will expect a demographic shift in actor hiring.

Hey, any knee jerk emotional clickbait or channel pause view magnet will do. Whoopi Goldberg beating on trailer trash white people with folding chairs? Bring it on and All Hail the Advertisers!
What are the other poignant political tab points? IHL rape victimization mythology and Global Warming? Even retarded liberals barely believe that shit any more, they are just rant and rage banner rallying points when things get too boring.
Red Dawn III - coming to a theater near you soon.
When ISIS terrorists invade U.S. soil and take over the city of Spokane, Wash., instituting a brutal reign of Sharia law, a recently returned Iraq War veteran (Chris Hemsworth) and a group of teens (Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson) flee to the woods and form a band of freedom fighters. Dubbing themselves the Wolverines, the youths launch guerrilla attacks against the invaders -- but how long they can sustain the fight in the face of the enemy's superior numbers and firepower remains in question.
Chris Rock Calls Oscars ‘the White People’s Choice Awards’ in Monologue
All eyes were on Chris Rock as the comedian opened the 88th Academy Awards — one of the most politically-charged ceremonies (if not the most) of all time — and he didn’t disappoint.
The comic addressed the #OscarSoWhite controversy head on, taking dig after dig at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Hollywood’s diversity crisis in his monologue.
“Well, I’m here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White People’s Choice Awards,†he said.
Rock then surprisingly slammed Jada Pinkett Smith‘s decision to boycott the Oscars.
“Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited,†he said, leaving the room in stitches.
Rock also revealed that he was pressured to drop out of the show by those around him and “thought about quitting†before ultimately deciding that he would be able to wield greater influence as host.
He also wondered aloud why the industry decided to boycott this year’s Academy Awards when African-Americans have been under-represented “at least 71 other times.†However, they had real things to protest in the 1950s and 60s.
“We were too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer. When your grandmother is swinging from a tree, it’s really hard to care about best documentary foreign short,†he said.
His message then turned political, focusing on the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
“This year, the In Memoriam package is just going to be black people who were shot by cops on their way to the movies,†he added.
Rock ended the monologue on a slightly hopeful note.
“Things are changing. We got a black Rocky this year. Some people call it ‘Creed,’ I call it black Rocky,†he said.
