Disney's Big Gay, Green 'Strange World'
Crashes at Box Office

Original Article

Disney’s latest animated feature, the gay, green Strange World, just tanked at the box office. Gee, what a shock. You mean no one wants to waste their Thanksgiving weekend having their children prematurely sexualized by groomers with a side order of enviro-guilt? This should do wonders for Disney’s already cratered stock price. Strange World cost anywhere from $150 million to $180 million to produce. Add at least another $50 to $100 million to promote, and what you have here is a straight-up catastrophe, a quarter of a billion — with a “B” — write-off.

Disney is not releasing this show in around 20 countries; and, they've done no marketing on the film. It's not a surprise to the WDC that it's a flop. (Encanto turned into a massive family friendly hit on Disney+. This movie will just take up server space.) Every single project released to date and for maybe 2 - 3 years into the future are Bob Iger's, not Chapek's. All is fine at Disney. All major multi-billion dollar American corporations fire their CEOs in a blind panic on a Sunday night and replace that CEO with predecessor who designed and built the cause of the panic. It's the American way.

Silly me, I always thought a corporation's main purpose was to make money for their stockholders by bringing products and/or services that the public wants, needs or will spend disposable money to purchase. Disney is typical Hollywood, they are going to beat you with their superior knowledge of wokeness. Too bad we took out son to Disney World multiple times in the 90's and early 2000's. Now, I wouldn't spend a dime with them.

A former coworker took her family to Disney World in the early 2000s. Unfortunately her visit coincided with some "gay friendly" week promotion there. She spent the entire visit trying to distract her kids from the freak show that was taking place all over the park. She told me she'd never go back.

Don't know what happened to my previous submittal, but: ...(Knock at the Cabin), or already tiresome CGI sequals (Avatar: The Way of Water, Ant-Man and the Wasp). It wasn't long ago that the major studios fretted over the cable-movie explosion replacing the theater-going experience. It didn't, but in an ironic twist it might be the studios themselves that drive theaters out of business.

The CEO of Disney reports to the Board of Directors who are put in place and are directly controlled by Disney’s stockholders. About two thirds of Disney's stock are in the hands of institutional investors (who manage 'your' retirement money.) The primary owners are Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street and possibly natural persons such as Lauren Jobs (in an institutional capacity) and others. Reimagining Tomorrow, rebuilding Disney parks to "reflect today", immersing 8 year old in sexual politics all all done at the direction and approval of the "stockholders" (the Board.) No Disney CEO (including Chapek) dare do otherwise. You did this through your retirement plans.

fta: "The endgame is making you feel like a bigot for not allowing a hairy drag queen to take your six-year-old son to bed. What else could the endgame be? And that’s probably not the endgame because there is never an endgame with the left. Just a slippery slope of unimagined depravities." Exactly. Been saying just this for years. Pedophilia, actual sex with children and the utter obliteration of innocence, is the Left's goal and has been for 20+ years. I was poo pooed a decade ago. I'll refrain from saying "I told you so." Disney's reputation even among the faithful with kids is in the sewer and will never recover. It is sad really. There are still good folks there as is evidenced by Encanto which came out last Thanksgiving and was actually a sweet family movie. This has become very much the exception at today's Disney.

The Giant Rat keeps making these trash movies that cost hundreds of millions and no one pays to see them. How can they not be broke? They are never going to get back to the company that made quality movies and they are never going to get me/us back as a customer. They know this, so why, beyond the obvious grooming and brainwashing are the stockholders putting up with this. Time to dump Disney stock if you have it.

China has always been a brutal communist tyranny, a giant prison where some 11 million people have fled who were able to, just in 2019 alone. But it seems the 34,000 COVID cases in the country have been enough to put the entire nation of one billion into a lockdown prison -- of mankind's worst nightmare. When they say 'lockdown,' they mean literally welding people's apartments shut -- with the people in them. There are plenty more different video clips like these in this piece by PJMedia's Ben Bartee, who observes:

Protests in China against government's strict Covid measures have intensified, with some people publicly venting their anger at the Communist Party leaders. Thousands of protesters have turned out in Shanghai, where the BBC has seen people bundled into police cars. Students have also demonstrated at universities in Beijing and Nanjing. The latest unrest follows a protest in the remote north-west city of Urumqi, where lockdown rules were blamed after 10 people died in a tower block fire. While Chinese authorities deny that Covid restrictions caused the deaths, officials in Urumqi did issue an unusual apology late on Friday, and pledged to "restore order" by phasing out restrictions.

The now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX donated $1 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, a Super PAC associated with Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), two weeks prior to declaring bankruptcy. FTX first filed for Chapter 11 protection two weeks ago. During the 2020 presidential campaign, now-former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried donated over $5 million to Joe Biden. During the 2022 midterm election cycle, Bankman-Fried doled out $40 million dollars to mostly Democratic politicians, making him the party’s second-largest financial backer after George Soros. According to FTX’s latest filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the cryptocurrency exchange also gave $750,000 to Congressional Leadership Fund as well as an additional $150,000

The North Clackamas School District in Oregon is only the latest in a long string of districts where parents have grown fed up with the school’s woke leftist policies being approved by the school board. Parents have been showing up for school board meetings with a list of grievances over inappropriate, sexualized material in the schools, gender-bending indoctrination, and policies intended to keep secrets from parents regarding their children’s development. After one recent meeting, the board decided to respond, but not by addressing the parents’ concerns. They instead announced that all future meetings would be held “online,” depriving the parents of the opportunity to be heard.

Washington - Billionaire Elon Musk said on Friday he would support Ron DeSantis in 2024 if the Florida governor, who recently coasted to a second term, were to run for president. DeSantis earlier this month defeated Democratic opponent Charlie Crist by nearly 20 percentage points to be re-elected as Florida governor and cemented himself as the Republican Party's top rising star. Political pundits have been doling out high marks to DeSantis, who is seen as a potential challenger to former president Donald Trump in the 2024 field of Republican presidential candidates. Trump announced 10 days ago he was running for election again in 2024.

When Musk asked, “What do you think of the culture war?” Musk revealed in his responses that he understood things far better than even some people on the right do.

After botching the HIV epidemic in ways that are part of the public record, Fauci was allowed to bring Covid tyranny down on much of the nation in the name of “public health” for over two years.

As the United States rolled back the clocks one hour this month to observe the end of Daylight Saving Time, many people got a bit more sleep than usual – but some not as much as others. Growing evidence shows that lack of sleep and sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, remain more prevalent in Black, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino communities, and these inequities can have long-term detrimental implications for physical health, even raising the risk of certain chronic diseases. Meanwhile, Daylight Saving Time itself – enacted in the US to reduce electricity usage by extending daylight hours – has long

Elias shopped around for an activist judge likely to grant him an easy win, and he found one. The GOP eventually appealed, but the day before Thanksgiving the Georgia Supreme Court refused to block the lower court’s opinion.

In 2021, Disney greenlit Strange World, an animated movie about a family journeying through a mysterious land to save a resource that’s losing its energy. Bob Iger, who is returning to Disney to “save” it from Bob Chapek’s sad tenure, was still on board in 2021, so he must have greenlit it. That’s a relevant fact because the movie bombed at the box office. Coincidentally or not, the movie has an openly gay subtext as one of the main male characters crushes on another boy. Before the movie opened, the media wanted audiences to know about the gay romance, probably under the mistaken belief that audiences would care:

San Francisco hotels are demanding millions of dollars from the city to compensate them for damage incurred while housing the homeless under a municipal government program launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the program, known as “Shelter-in-Place” (SIP), hotels were used to move homeless people off the streets for fear of spreading the coronavirus in tent cities. Ironically, as COVID became better understood, officials began recommending against clearing homeless encampments, because the virus spread less easily outdoors.
