MeToo movement

I noticed the quality coming from Hollywood had gone way down ever since the MeToo movement became a thing a couple years ago. Hollywood is so woke so they forgot how to entertain. Best example? James Bond. He's no longer a womanizer. But that's not Bond.

You nailed it with this semi hidden summary remark!

Hollywood is so Woke so they forgot how to entertain.

My wife has the best summary of what/how Woke dtherove us away. There was no way she would waste our time and money watching Woke BS/?? Now, we call it Woke, that insulted us, our friends, family now in the past and our country.

We can't remember the last time, we bought tickets and went to see a movie in a real theater.

We cut our cable about 10 years ago and basically haven't watched a movie on TV even before we cut the cable.

Funny you mention Bond. The Bond film before last was the last time I’ve been in a movie theater. They ruined the franchise so I refused watch the last one and will not watch any in the future.

" Best example? James Bond. He's no longer a womanizer. But that's not Bond."

One movie, and the one movie everyone acknowledges was a turd. Now that overwrought overwriting turdship of "No Time To Die" is a prime example of Hollyweird's internal failures in this century.

That picture was doomed from the start: Craig genuinely did not want to make it because the original script did not have him dying. Then when Barbara greenlighted his death, writer-director Danny Boyle (who would have been brilliant), said, F it.

Then it was in the can for release at what turned out to be prime pandemic time, and postponed twice from there, with much talk about reshooting the designer genetic virus plot. In the end they took it in the teeth.

Also in the original script, Bond was going to bed both the Cuban Paloma and 700 lbs of "Nomi"s big booty.

Even though Bond did not screw around during NTTD, during the story arc of Bond's initial liason with Madeline Swann in Spectre and their canon off-on relationship with what turned out to be the mother of his child in NTTD, he cheated on her at least 3 times.

Finally, Lazenby only had one extremely brief dalliance in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and instead the focus was on his courtship and marrying Diana Rigg.

Being successful with women is not being a womanizer.

Bond didn’t chase women. If women came to Bond that he liked and could afford to do so at the time, he partook. Seducing other enemy female agents was just part of the job.

Do remember the Bond character did get married. Not what a womanizer does.
