Springsteen’ Movie Bombs All over the World

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 10/29/2025 3:02:03 AM

Here in America, the Springsteen biopic opened to a truly dreadful $9.1 million. With billions more customers available overseas and Springsteen’s status as a global superstar, you’d think that’s where the money is.Nope. The movie only scooped up another $7 million internationally, which means that its overall global take was a measly $16 million. How bad is that?Well, box office analysts believed the worst it would do just here in America was $15 million, and it ended up only barely topping the domestic worst-case scenario all over the world. Is this a case of “Go woke, go broke?” Well, as I wrote on Sunday,

Perhaps the poor showing has something to do with the fact that Springsteen is an obnoxious ass and can’t sing.

The pusillanimous Jersey Jerk has lost all of his mojo through his political delusions and TDS. I wouldn't go to his movie or concerts if he paid me.

#1 has the post of the year. Springsteen stinks as a singer. Stinks. I will never understand why he was popular. It pains me to even look at him, much less listen to his slurred, atonal lyrics. Get lost, Bruce.

I’m from New Jersey, and never liked him. Never fell for that plastic blue collar image. After watching that art house Dylan movie, where he was portrayed like the real jerk that he was, I’m not inclined to see a movie by this boorish pretender.

Springsteen is kind of the rock-n-roll equivalent to Robert DeNiro. Both have morphed into aging TDS-addled dwarves. I grew up during Bruce's "glory days" and for what it's worth never much cared from him, but that is neither here nor there. What matters more is that he once had legions of fans, and it appears many of them no longer care for him either.

Springsteen has written some excellent songs through the years, but as #9 writes, "Springsteen is kind of the rock-n-roll equivalent to Robert DeNiro." That is so true. It was always important to Bruce to be fashionably left, and so he is. His leftism is more important to him than his art. What a shame. "Born in the USA" was not a patriotic song. When I first heard it some forty years ago, I began disliking Bruce. If Disney takes an expensive bath on this film, that's a good thing. Get woke, go broke. I have a large collection of music. Springsteen's not in it.

Hubs wanted to take daughter #2 to a movie/dinner date for her birthday. He asked if I wanted to go too and I said it depends on the movie. This is the one she picked. I stayed home lol. This is a man who likes everything and he wasn’t impressed with the movie so it must really stink.

#14 - have you listened to the lyrics of Born in the USA? It's an anti-American screed of whining poor me. He leveraged his "buddy at Khe San" to garner sympathy and sound patriotic. The rest of the song is nothing more than pissing and moaning over how unfair it all is.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates agrees with Townhall. Wow, who thought we'd ever be able to say that? In a new memo, Bill Gates appears to have done a 180 on climate change and abandoned his climate alarmism. The man who wrote "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster" just four years ago now says climate change "will not lead to humanity's demise." The leftist billionaire is now rejecting the doomsday predictions from the likes of Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former Vice President Al Gore, socialist-communist poster child Greta Thunberg, and more. "Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong," the memo states. "Unfortunately,

Zohran Mamdani, the radical Muslim socialist running for New York City mayor is twisting religion to manipulate voters into supporting him. Multiple recent posts portrayed purported Christian (and Jewish) leaders affirming Mamdani, but any Christian supporting a socialist like Mamdani has no business being in spiritual leadership. Mamdani wants you to believe Jews and Christians love him. Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, a far-left political advocacy group that does not represent all Jews, has been shilling for Mamdani on social media, posting a video this week with three female rabbis and a dude with hot-pink lipstick, all wearing Mamdani T-shirts, speaking to fellow Jews.

Mamdani’s mother, Mira Nair, made the remarks in a 2013 interview with the Hindustan Times when she was asked about her then-21-year-old son’s upbringing. “He is a total desi,” Nair told the outlet, referring to the Hindi and Urdu term used to describe those of Indian descent.Completely.

One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps. Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it.

Fresh insights into the ecological devastation caused by onshore wind turbines around the world are contained in a shocking new paper published last month by a group of ecologists in Nature. The paper is paywalled and has attracted little mainstream media interest, but it highlights research that illustrates that the effect of utility-scale wind energy production “can be far reaching and sometimes have large and unexpected consequences for biodiversity”. An annual figure of around one million bats are killed in the countries with the highest number of turbines, but harmful effects are seen in many other parts of the ecosystem.
