What frustrates me is when Diversity is added only for the sake of Diversity and adds nothing to further the project or, in a few cases, wrecks it. There was a rumor that a studio was going to produce a Joan of Arc biopic with a Black actress in the title role. Just plain dumb. History is history. Joan of Arc was a White chick. End of story. It's like they're saying, "Well, you still need stories about White people if you wanna sell tickets!" Same thing annoys me now , for example. that Hollywood is rushing to re-launch successful franchises with Black actors just because those franchises have been profitable and Woke Culture is in even though there are still hundreds of untold historical and fictional stories featuring Black protagonists. Perfect example is the legendary US Marshal of the late 19th Century Indian Territory, Bass Reeves. Hollywood has yet to do a movie about him but they've already recast the Magnificent Seven with a diverse cast. If I was a Black man, I'd be offended that "my stories" still aren't good enough to be told, instead opting for just recasting the same old movies. But, of course, we'll get a Black James Bond or a Lesbian Sherlock Holmes instead... I'd be chomping at the bit to see a movie about Bass Reeves. Even allowing for some legend to have been added to his life, dude's career reads like an adventure novel! And the argument can't be "Black doesn't sell." Blade, Black Panther and Falcon, just three characters off the top of my head, were always Black and those movies are hugely successful. And while you can argue that maybe Marvel movies being hot right now contributed to the success of Falcon and Black Panther, Blade came out decades ago. Just my rantings. Feel free to destroy my argument.

Trust me, when Woke Culture starts losing money, it's done. Hollywood is already quietly returning to churning out the same old shit. When even the Star Wars franchise starts losing money, you know they notice that.

Now I'm totally confused...I thought this was the Movie Lover's thread!

I just noticed it was the wrong thread! I'm an idiot today!

Haha! The clip where the baseball hits the guy in the nuts is in my city's ballpark ! I probably went to High School with that guy!

Right? The majority of military personnel and veterans are men. Go ahead and alienate the fucking people you most need to teach you how to survive in battle! Fucking morons! My paternal Grandfather was killed in action on the German border in 1944. I'm pretty sure our current state of affairs isn't the Democracy he was fighting and died for.

I have a friend 3D printing Fallout minis and terrain. I'll see if I can get some photos. EDIT: Found it! Facebook

I searched the internet for "van explosion", hoping to find a story about how one of these idiots lit up a cigarette after they left. Unfortunately, no.

My band opened for these guys in 2000. I have always been a huge fan of them ever since I first heard them as a kid. Bucket List item checked off.

That is, like, the most awesome thing I've heard this week!

The bank was inspired by one in Tombstone that I took lots of photos of when I was there. This one is from a few years back that I constructed, inspired by Tombstone's famous Birdcage Theater: I have a large saloon interior that I built years back for replicating Barroom Brawls in miniature. But I want to do a new one now that my skills have improved.

How are the cows doing? Have you had any problems with rustlers?

Scratch built a bank for my miniature Western collection. Had the most fun with the safe. And here are the jerks that are going to try and rob it!

Cowpoke Kendo. I like that image, you riding the range wearing an impossibly huge hat.

That's what pisses me off. I have a cousin who had four boys. One day, his wife decides she likes cocaine and starts robbing the savings account. When she gets caught, she runs off with her sleazebag dealer/boyfriend. My cousin is left to raise four boys aged 5 to 12 on his own. And he does it. Not just the bare minimum either. He works hard but manages to sock away some money for their college. He encourages the boys to follow their hobbies and sports. He institutes two mandatory family dinner nights a week. All four boys grow up, get jobs in their teens, 3 go to college, 1 goes into the military and they grew up to be well-adjusted adult males. Take that, you Feminist assholes.
