I see cancel culture is back on the menu for conservatives
Never left, really
anything that conservatives dont like, is “woke” so they try to cancel it. and not because of POOR writing, or acting, or budget.
Anything that actually IS woke, but they like it, is branded non-woke with token excuses given as to why.
See: Bayonetta and Baldur’s Gate 3
But the movie is not canceled.
Not yet, but movies are incredibly reliant on very exact scheduling for the entire crew from rentals to talent to writers to computer time for rendering to catering. Pausing a movie is extremely risky and often leads to canceled deals.
i made this meme six months ago when it was first announced that he was doing this with Warner Bros:
Because he dared tell jokes (which was his job) that hurt Trump’s fee fees?
No one wanted this but now we can be angry.
I dunno. If anyone should do it it’s Stephen. I kinda wanted to see what he’d do.
You KNOW this is going to be GOOD for Workers when their VERY FIRST ACTION is CANCELLING a Huge Show! THANK YOU Governor Newsom and AG Bonta!
Could be a sensible business decision. Why pay Tolkien estate for the rights when their copyright is about to expire. In the meantime, as the estate is selling those rights to anybody with a pulse, LotR brand is going in the gutter, decreasing chance of this movie being a success.
Those copyrights last until 2043.
That’s pretty soon, you can begin work ahead of time and in the meantime people might forget such masterpieces as Hobbit 3, Hunt for Gollum, The Rings of Power (this one I actually like but public sentiment is…) or even video game The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.
Fuck this
