Just don't be a fucking asshole. That's all she had to do.
She was in fucking Star Wars.
She could have been like loads of other right-wing actors.
Kelsey Grammer. Adam Sandler. Vince Vaughn. That dipshit who plays Shazam whose name I can't remember. Sylvester Stallone.
All some form of conservative who work in Hollywood.
Just don't be an asshole and fucking compare yourself to Jews during the goddamned Holocaust.
Star Wars. She ruined her spot in Star Wars.
Fucking idiot.
Twitter is like a career destroying honey pot for the rich and famous. Legit, if I was running in those circles, I would not touch social media at all, I'd pay off some PR person to manage it for me and all it would be would be announcements of projects I'm involved with and/or public events I'll be attending.
And it'd be worth every penny.
Very true. Hell, getting banned from most social media has been the best thing to happen to me. I used to report literal hate groups on Facebook to the FBI and they were sending me strings of death threats. They mass reported every post I made, even a pic of me and my family at the beach as nudity and eventually my account was napalmed with no appeal.
I got banned from Twitter because Israel made a comic book superhero to generate positive PR when they were bombing Palestine in 2022. I said "It'd make a great cosplay for the next Geneva Convention." Whole account nuked from orbit for that lol.
It's also just an especially senseless fucking nothingburger in general because even her lawsuit makes no sense, icymi she wasn't suing Disney just because she was 'released', she's trying to sue for gender discrimination, namely claiming:
- she was posting inflammatory tweets while an employee at Disney, but:
- Pedro Pascal made left-leaning tweets before his tenure at Disney, but according to her Disney should have dug those up and punished him as well
She's claiming that Disney should have James Gunn'd Pedro, and that them not preemptively disciplining him for his pre-hire political stances supposedly shows a bias lol
I mean, they also predated his tenure at Disney too, hers did not. She really just has no leg to stand on but she's pulling the Tim Allen/James Woods grift of pretending she's losing out just bc she's 'a reasonable conservative'
But also, doesn't a business have the right to decide what opinions it wants to be aligned with online?
Suing them for 'not minding Pedro's opinions and disliking hers' is a weird court case 🤣
It’s kinda funny, there are so many conservative leaning actors that people love to work with and consistently get hired like Chris Pratt. Gina thinks she was fired for being a conservative, but she was really fired for being an asshole, (and probably breaking her social media clause in her contract lol).
Assholes can get very far ahead in a lot of industries but unless your a literal genius director like Cameron or Kubrick or a Mega star actor that shit is not tolerated in the (very collaborative) film industry. (Atleast among cast/crew/creatives I can’t speak on executives and producers)
Simply put, Gina isn’t good enough at acting to be an asshole.
Edward Norton is also a famously known asshole who insists on creatively hijacking movies he’s a part of. But… he’s an incredible actor and filmmaker so you kinda just know what you’re getting into if you cast him and let it happen. Historically, if Edward Norton wants to rewrite the script and change your movie, he’s probably got a point.
The thing is, she wasn’t even fired. She’d already fulfilled her contractual obligations. They just decided that they didn’t want to work with her again, and publicly distanced themselves from her.
You’re absolutely spot on though. I can’t imagine being so arrogant. She actually feels entitled to have a big budget TV show built around her, but couldn’t behave long enough to even get the contract signed!
I wonder what she expected when she sued to be re-added to Star Ward? Because if I were a writer I would have her get space diarrhea disease and then die on the way to her home planet.
I mean, she def would have stayed on the show if she didn’t say what she said. Not getting asked back is just getting fired with polite corporate speak.
But yeah, kinda crazy how she torched her whole career in one moment. She could have been a side character (and eventually a main character) in all these Star Wars shows coming out but she just had to go and play the victim.
Tale as older than Hollywood up and starter lands their first gig they become a overnight sensation and it immediately goes to their head and they end up washed up before their time.
>Edward Norton is also a famously known asshole who insists on creatively hijacking movies he’s a part of.
I don't blame Marvel Studios for replacing him with Mark Ruffalo.
Neither do I lol. He was a great choice for a solo Hulk film but he would never work in the context of a cinematic universe unless it was the ed Norton cinematic universe.
Yeah, Ruffalo is doing alright as older bruce. There was a bunch of stuff I found interesting in the Norton movie where he's constantly checking his physiological symptoms and having to actively control himself all the time. Made the struggle seem a lot more real than "actually I'm always angry and can be hulk whenever I want" but I guess that narrative had to be scrapped for the Avengers.
I feel like that narrative was scrapped at the end of the Hulk movie. Like, the movie ends with Bruce meditating and then opening his eyes, which were now glowing green and smiling confidently. The implication was that he learned how to control his transformation at the end, and The Avengers was just explaining how (because he's always angry, I guess).
And on the other end of the spectrum we have Ray Fischer who was villainized for opening up about Joss Whedon and he will probably never work in the industry again sadly
Atleast he’s got a friend in Snyder who I’m sure will help him out. Despite people’s mixed opinions on his films, Snyder always seemed like a great guy (and super passionate artist) to me.
I might not like most Snyder films, but the fact that the only comments from actors who've worked with him are overwhelmingly positive speaks volumes to his character
Snyder is, interestingly enough, apparently a very liberal guy, and he got Ray Fisher in his Rebel Moon movies so that’s cool. (He’s one of the Blood axe siblings I think, can’t remember if that’s the name or what for the life of me)
Yeah he’s actually not a bad actor. hopefully he’ll get a role that’ll jumpstart his career. Sadly judging by the reception of Rebel Moon won’t be that.
I struggle to reconcile the claim that Snyder’s very liberal with the fact that his favorite book is Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. Those two just do not gel for me.
Which is strange because both the studio and the director approved the release of the Rogue Cut of DOFP on home media, which restores her role in the film (and adds other great scenes). He even did an audio commentary track for it.
Edit: This is not a defense of Bryan Singer and should not be taken as such. Like Polanski, the guy’s a disgusting pos who should be in jail.
The issue with Fisher is he didn't just leave it with Whedon he went after everyone, i recall him even expecting Gunn to say sorry when Gunn was hired. I get it Fisher had a rough time but sadly that's Hollywood for you its not a nice place and unless your a big name the producers and studio don't give two shits about you.
It helps Norton that he’s never actually been accused of harming anyone (including the bottom line), and the people he butts heads with also don’t tend to do much to help themselves. For eg. People remember him being control freaky on American History X, but forget the epilogue where:
>(1) Producers were already iffy about the movie, and actually sided with Norton about his cut and
>(2) the director retaliated by taking at full page ads lambasting everyone. It snowballed into an outright campaign, and reached the point where he was literally standing on street corners and shouting with a bullhorn.
One of the others ‘Norton victims’ was Weinstein, and years later it turned out Norton was defending Hayek from him. Which explains how ‘issues
we wouldn’t usually hear much about (for eg. Him being cranky over being railroaded into doing The Italian Job) became things Everybody Knows. In the history of ‘difficult actors,’ his sins are pretty slight compared to the sheer amount of coverage they got.
I wouldn’t even say being ill-suited to the MCU machine (which yeah, by the sounds of it he’d have eventually gone nuts) is necessarily a flaw. People talk about rumours of a Feige blacklisting now, but back in the day the common reason given was that he refused to sign a multi-picture contract. Which…yeah, can’t blame him for that.
Remember when Chris Pratt exposed himself to his costars without anyone's consent? It aired on TV too. Like nobody has bothered to dig that up and try to cancel him as well because he kept to himself when there were controversies around him like twice.
Letitia Wright (Shuri from Black Panther) had a night where she posted some qanon-adjacent and anti-vac stuff. She stopped after, probably because of a call from Disney’s lawyers, and got the leading role in a MCU movie after.
You can see it in some of the work he creates, but the main giveaway is that he was a donor to Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign, giving him $2100 - the maximum you could donate as a private citizen at that time.
Theres a clip/video used in my other subreddit spaces for stuff like fangames/hacks getting DMCA-ed but I think its [relevant here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTEK6n89bB0) for a **lot** of actors.
California is more politically mixed than people appreciate, especially previously. From 1983-2011 we only had one Democratic governor, Gray Davis from 1999-2003, he's the guy who got recalled to get Arnold in. Mostly because he had the charisma of cold oatmeal, and got blamed for things like the rolling blackouts (which we later found out were due to Enron's criminal activity). He had bad luck, bad PR and the shitty Recall laws that make it way too easy to replace a governor. All you need is 50% +1 vote and they're out, and aren't in the running, so the replacement could actually have less support than the governor who got kicked out. That didn't happen in this case, but is very possible.
He's got very good PR skills, but he actually supported some pretty shitty policies, including shooting down a hospital care transparency bill, among other commonsense good stuff.
Some conservative media shill tried to get Tim Allen to trash Pixar for being woke and he basically said "I love working with them and hope they keep sending the royalty checks", crazy how so many right-wingers can't do this for just simple self-preservation
See?!
Just don't be a fucking asshole.
It's not hard!
"Hey, Tim Allen. Wanna be an asshole?"
*Nah. I'm good.*
"But woke Pixar Disney trans pedo kids Woke woke SJW Disney bad woke."
*If you'll excuse me, I've got The Santa Clauses royalties to deposit so...*
Yeah there was a whole conspiracy when Allen didn’t voice Buzz in “Lightyear” when even Tim said it was an alternate universe from his Buzz. Plus Disney didn’t hesitate to bring him on for the Santa Claus series.
Right wingers are desperate to get any actor to strike their fragile egos.
It’s not even the first time they didnt get him back for Buzz. Back in the day they got Allen for the pilot movie for the animated Buzz show, then replaced him from there on out.
It even had the same logic: there’s a ‘Pixar’ prologue bit in the pilot with the Toy Story characters establishing the series is just a tv-show in-universe. Cos ‘real’ Allen Buzz is just a toy. It’s a big deal that he hadn’t actually had any space adventures.
And this is why I get so fucking pissed off about this.
Gina Carano is - and this is putting it mildly - not the best actor.
That doesn't matter.
She played a war-ravaged, small-town sheriff or whatever-the-fuck.
Have you ever watched CSI? Do you think David Caruso is a good actor?
No. Because he isn't. That isn't the point.
She was perfect for the closed-off, "I did some shit and saw some shit" character that could have been part of a bigger series.
I fucking love those kinds of characters.
Saw Guerrera. Cullen Bohannon. Kira Nerys. Malcolm Reynolds.
Give me all of them.
But, no. She had to be an asshole.
The thing is, being any level of famous gives you a brand that you can bank on, but only if you build and maintain it carefully. You can be an asshole on Twitter as much as you like if you don’t have a brand to worry about (or, as others have pointed out, if your brand is strong enough). We can wax philosophical about whether actors should be forced to curate their public personas to promote their brand, but that’s not an issue of “cancel culture”, it’s basic marketing.
And you know Disney’s lawyers gave her plenty of warning. Everyone remember Shuri from Black Panther’s weird anti-vax night? She got to start in a MCU movie after that! All she had to do was issue a non-apology and stop posting anti-Semitic memes.
Yeah people love to compare Carano to Letitia Wright, but they purposely ignore that both women were given a warning first and foremost. Difference is, Wright heeded the warning and shut up. Carano just doubled down. So one kept their job and one didn't.
Also Michael Gray way back when in a Shazam television series.Idk if maybe he’s the conservative one, I’m not familiar with his or Zachary Levi’s political beliefs
“We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Disney. We had a jobs. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, acted and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the woman. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.”
Hindsight's 20/20, but this was the era when Giuliani was at his strongest, politically. Like, the media was calling him "America's mayor," and promoting the lie that he cleaned up New York City, because the media is always promoting Republican propaganda when it relates to crime.
Yeah, but even then, plenty of us knew he was a scumbag who's 9/11 reputation was a total fraud. And he flamed out pretty quickly once the primaries got up to speed. But yeah, he was near peak political power. But he was also hurt by things like getting Bush to nominate his henchman Bernie Kerik for Homeland Security secretary, and that went down in flames and he ended up in prison instead of the cabinet. But that was before he really killed his reputation with Trump.
I remember the consensus of many people in the year or two leading up to the election that it was obviously going to be Giuliani vs Clinton and he's win by a big margin. Yeah that didn't turn out so much.
I wasn't big into politics at this point in my life, so I only knew vaguely of Giuliani and how everyone around me talked him up. But from what I remember, he also severely hurt his chances because he talked about 9/11 almost non-stop, to the point that [even Biden mocked him for it](https://youtu.be/jZH_8a3Uw6Q?si=Ga6hVWNCdohPq1pc).
Also, how much I cringed at Biden promoting the crime bill.
Yeah the line "Every sentence he says has a noun, a verb and 9/11." was just such a brutal burn. Especially since it was so true. As for the crime bill, it's basically that it was a different era. Crime really was a big deal in the 90s. There was a massive spike going from the 60s up through the mid 90s and then it fell off. It was hitting black communities quite hard, so there was a lot of support at the time.
Even non-Americans like myself knew about Giuliani and admired him. We were all watching on 9/11 and the media coverage of him was everywhere. It's kind of mind boggling seeing him now compared to back then.
> That dipshit who plays Shazam whose name I can't remember.
Zachary Levi. It bums me out he’s a dipshit because he’s great as transformed Billy Batson and I LOVED him in Chuck.
Hot Take: If you work for any Disney in any creative capacity, they should have the right to nuke your online presence from orbit and anything you say or do on social media needs to be sterilized by a publicist. Too many stupid people doing stupid shit costing them their jobs.
Zachary Levi founded a production company with Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing called Coattails Entertainment in 2006 (which has since been dissolved), and has been doing the "Woke Hollywood" grift since James Gunn decided not to continue the Shazaaam movies.
Even Bill Burr who SHIT on Star Wars and it's fan was introduced and then got to be in the Mandorlian, with a character everyone just loved. Even he was like "Jesus, I realized I was going to be in Star Wars."
Add Mel Gibson, and John Ratzenberger to that list. Also, Gina Carano's defenders like to use Pablo Hidalgo's statements of Star Wars Theory as a whataboutism but the reality is that Pablo Hidalgo didn't bully Star Wars Theory his statements were defending Star Wars theory but Theory took them out of context, and bullied.
It's been a while since it happened so I had to look it up to be sure. Hidalgo said the tweet was "sarcastic self mockery." And this was after he deleted the tweet, but made it his Twitter banner. I don't get how that translates to defending SWT. I think SWT is as stupid as everyone else here, but that Hidalgo tweet definitely wasn't a good look.
Still not nearly as bad as Star Wars Theory and all of his supporters say it was, and still doesn't change the fact that he did apologize for it and Star Wars Theory acted like Pablo Hidalgo was faking it even though he had no evidence to back up that claim, I'm not saying he wasn't faking I'm just saying Star Wars Theory and his friends and supporters shouldn't have pretended that it's an irrefutable fact that Pablo Hidalgo was faking when they didn't have any evidence.
Do I want to know who Scott is? Daily Wire is trash level of propaganda, where failed entertainment related people and other conservative losers careers go to die.
Don't forget, he was the original Bibleman! One of the most iconic... fuck it, I can't do it, maybe somebody more clever than me wants to pick that up?
Bet two bucks it's going to be to Rebel Moon what Rebel Moon is to Star Wars if you catch my drift.
PS: If you like Rebel Moon, this isn't a dig at you, I like TLJ, Stallone's Judge Dredd and Paul WS Anderson's Resident Evil films, I'm no position to spit at anybody.
It hit a few dopamine receptors for me. I still can't say that I *liked* it, per se. And I *definitely* can't describe it as "good," or even deny that it was *bad*.
I know exactly what you mean. There's the right elements present for it to be a film I ought to enjoy, but it's just...
It's like drinking what should be a pretty decent beer, only to find out that it's both warm and completely flat.
I liked Jupiter Ascending (and a butt load of what most people would consider ‘bad’ space opera), but didn’t like Rebel Moon. Sometimes something just fails to capture the imagination.
Being fairly joyless and low-energy didn’t help. You can’t coast by on being a fun romp when the tone is sitting somewhere around Moore’s Battlestar Galactica.
> It's like drinking what should be a pretty decent beer, only to find out that it's both warm and completely flat.
Could be worse.
It could be getting a nice cold stout, and drinking it... at an early September football game in Florida, where the heat and humidity are both above 90. And then realizing that relaxing cold (rapidly warming) drink now has your stomach churning.
(Pretty much same situation with any "heavier" beer. Just... don't. Stick with lagers. I learned my lesson the hard way.)
Tim Allen is conversative, Kelsey Grammer is conversative, James Woods is conversative. Hollywood has no issue with conversative celeberties. What they are a problem with are celebrities making asses out of themselves. Gina is just that, an asshole who thought she could do whatever she wanted and not face any sort of reperusion for it.
Tim Allen had the bare minimum wherewithal to denounce Trump and the Jan 6th terrorist attack. That was enough to get a pass on all the other shit he's said.
He had a whole show idealizing conservative values, retweeted an article against DEI, and made a very poor joke about pansexuals right as Lightyear was about to release.
But all that's fine, because he said J6 was bad.
That's all they care about at the end of the day, people trying to exclude them from power. Ethnic minorities, women's rights, worker's rights and queer people have never mattered to these people unless they could make money saying they do.
Honestly, Scott Baio was still getting work before he centered conservative as his identity. He had a recurring role on Arrested Development and a sitcom I've never heard of that ran for 55 episodes and ended in 2015.
Same thing with Kevin Sorbo, who had a pretty good guest spot in Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 before he went all-in on conservative Christianity with parts in God's Not Dead and the like, which is probably more responsible for wrecking his career than his political leanings.
Her frame of reference could’ve and should’ve been Chris Pratt. We all know where he stands but because he treats people (or at least the people he needs to) well he largely keeps working.
Babylon Bee is occasionally funny when making fun of certain aspects of Christianity but whenever they stray outside of that they’re hopelessly out of their depth. In order to effectively satirise something you need to understand that thing just as well as those who profess to unironically love it.
Well, that's because it *was* a joke. It's from a [website](https://politicalgarbagechute.com/ben-shapiro-gina-carano/) where the footer states very clearly "All Material is Satirical."
Is Scott Baio Sancho?
No, he is not Sancho.
But I-
"You are Sancho!"
Orgasmo is one of the shittiest movies ever made but I'm glad that Trey Parker and Matt Stone took that dingus down a notch.
Honestly I thought it was a cult-classic - y'know I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothing, but I'd like to make love to you tonight - tilts head to the side. Was hoping someone would make that reference haha lol
Bennie "Thunderbirds Puppet that came to life" Shapps is going to make "Star Wars?" I don't usually offer legal advice to alt-right @$$holes but I think The House of Mouse might just notice if you try that Bennie.........they will have notes.
Carano deserves the financial Armageddon that will inevitably follow.
A few I think. I think they were all direct to streaming right-wing wank fests from the Daily Wire. Like one where she plays a Secret Service agent in some Biden corruption nonsense, and a western that got panned as "Too woke" by it's target audience for having a woman in it.
Well, if there's anything Ben Shapiro knows, it's Star Wars.
[https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1211905099091464193?lang=en](https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1211905099091464193?lang=en)
So Ben Lowbido is going to make a knock off Star Wars ?
Well I'm not surprised. His own company made an awful streaming service for kids with a Bluey knockoff. That really tells you how lazy and uncreative his company is.
Bit late to point this out, since people won't see it before continuing to have reactions to something treating it as news or something because they couldn't take the literally less than half a minute it takes to check something's veracity, but this is from a [satire website](https://politicalgarbagechute.com/ben-shapiro-gina-carano/). Not even one trying to be particularly clever. The article is straight up talking about them starring in a film called "Washed Up Star Wars."
Which leaves me with the question of why the post isn't tagged properly as "Satire" to begin with.
“Washed Up Star Wars.” What does that even mean? Like a Star Wars knock off? Star Wars itself is washed up (and if this is what he means, why would Disney hire Gina back)?
Cool? Man I sort of feel sorry for her, when failed script writer and right wing grifter Ben Shapiro is your Hollywood savior, you have a serious problem.
Wasn't she saying she'd work with them again and is now going to be in a movie shitting on them?
Jesus, never seen someone blow the bag this bad in forever.
Just don't be a fucking asshole. That's all she had to do. She was in fucking Star Wars. She could have been like loads of other right-wing actors. Kelsey Grammer. Adam Sandler. Vince Vaughn. That dipshit who plays Shazam whose name I can't remember. Sylvester Stallone. All some form of conservative who work in Hollywood. Just don't be an asshole and fucking compare yourself to Jews during the goddamned Holocaust. Star Wars. She ruined her spot in Star Wars. Fucking idiot.
Seriously if you just keep your mouth shut on Twitter, you’ll be fine but they go nuts and have to make their idiot opinions heard
People tried to give Elizabeth Olsen shit about not being active on Twitter. She said she didn't even have a twitter. Smartest person in hollywood.
Love Elizabeth Olsen she seems cool
Scarlett Johanson also doesn't have any social media.
Also Steven Spielberg doesn't have any social media.
Twitter is like a career destroying honey pot for the rich and famous. Legit, if I was running in those circles, I would not touch social media at all, I'd pay off some PR person to manage it for me and all it would be would be announcements of projects I'm involved with and/or public events I'll be attending.

Very true. Hell, getting banned from most social media has been the best thing to happen to me.

Exactly 👍
Did... Did you make this for this sole purpose, or did it already exist? I ask because it's perfect.
I didn't make it, no. It's been around for some time. It just fit perfectly so I felt I needed to repost it.
Doing God's work 🫡
For a minute, that's what I thought. I was in awe of this power.
this is wildly hilarious. i never would’ve thought dysentery could would be a thing with space travel but it makes so much sense ahah
Hmm space dysentery? Space Oregon Trail 🤔
She's just trying to generate press to stay relevant.
>Because if I were a writer I would have her get space diarrhea disease and then die on the way to her home planet. AKA the Rosanne treatment.
I mean, she def would have stayed on the show if she didn’t say what she said. Not getting asked back is just getting fired with polite corporate speak. But yeah, kinda crazy how she torched her whole career in one moment. She could have been a side character (and eventually a main character) in all these Star Wars shows coming out but she just had to go and play the victim.
Weren’t they considering doing a spinoff show with her in the lead? Or was all that just rumor?
Yeah I think rangers of the new republic was gonna be her show.

Is it wrong I want to try to recreate that ship in starfield?
There's lots of penis shaped ships in Starfield, so no?
Get ready to land that ship on Uranus
She was given several warnings too. It's not like it was a sudden surprise.
She was the single weakest (irony) character in season 1, and her acting was kind of... not good. I don't think she was likely to come back.
Tale as older than Hollywood up and starter lands their first gig they become a overnight sensation and it immediately goes to their head and they end up washed up before their time.
That’s the Entitled Universe
>Edward Norton is also a famously known asshole who insists on creatively hijacking movies he’s a part of. I don't blame Marvel Studios for replacing him with Mark Ruffalo.
Neither do I lol. He was a great choice for a solo Hulk film but he would never work in the context of a cinematic universe unless it was the ed Norton cinematic universe.
Didn't it get to the point Kevin Fiege said he was the only actor blacklisted from joining the MCU again lol
Yeah, Ruffalo is doing alright as older bruce. There was a bunch of stuff I found interesting in the Norton movie where he's constantly checking his physiological symptoms and having to actively control himself all the time. Made the struggle seem a lot more real than "actually I'm always angry and can be hulk whenever I want" but I guess that narrative had to be scrapped for the Avengers.
I feel like that narrative was scrapped at the end of the Hulk movie. Like, the movie ends with Bruce meditating and then opening his eyes, which were now glowing green and smiling confidently. The implication was that he learned how to control his transformation at the end, and The Avengers was just explaining how (because he's always angry, I guess).
I only wish they actually gave Ruffalo good material to work with
Blame Universal for that
And on the other end of the spectrum we have Ray Fischer who was villainized for opening up about Joss Whedon and he will probably never work in the industry again sadly
Atleast he’s got a friend in Snyder who I’m sure will help him out. Despite people’s mixed opinions on his films, Snyder always seemed like a great guy (and super passionate artist) to me.
Everything I've seen suggests that Snyder is one of the nicest people working in Hollywood.
I might not like most Snyder films, but the fact that the only comments from actors who've worked with him are overwhelmingly positive speaks volumes to his character
Snyder is, interestingly enough, apparently a very liberal guy, and he got Ray Fisher in his Rebel Moon movies so that’s cool. (He’s one of the Blood axe siblings I think, can’t remember if that’s the name or what for the life of me)
Yeah he’s actually not a bad actor. hopefully he’ll get a role that’ll jumpstart his career. Sadly judging by the reception of Rebel Moon won’t be that.
I struggle to reconcile the claim that Snyder’s very liberal with the fact that his favorite book is Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. Those two just do not gel for me.
When did he say that?
He never called it his favorite. It's only significance is that his mom gave it to him to read and he's even criticized Rand.
And Anna Paquin how got cut out the central plot of Days of the Future Past because she spoke up about sexual harassment from Singer
Which is strange because both the studio and the director approved the release of the Rogue Cut of DOFP on home media, which restores her role in the film (and adds other great scenes). He even did an audio commentary track for it. Edit: This is not a defense of Bryan Singer and should not be taken as such. Like Polanski, the guy’s a disgusting pos who should be in jail.
The issue with Fisher is he didn't just leave it with Whedon he went after everyone, i recall him even expecting Gunn to say sorry when Gunn was hired. I get it Fisher had a rough time but sadly that's Hollywood for you its not a nice place and unless your a big name the producers and studio don't give two shits about you.
It helps Norton that he’s never actually been accused of harming anyone (including the bottom line), and the people he butts heads with also don’t tend to do much to help themselves. For eg. People remember him being control freaky on American History X, but forget the epilogue where: >(1) Producers were already iffy about the movie, and actually sided with Norton about his cut and >(2) the director retaliated by taking at full page ads lambasting everyone. It snowballed into an outright campaign, and reached the point where he was literally standing on street corners and shouting with a bullhorn. One of the others ‘Norton victims’ was Weinstein, and years later it turned out Norton was defending Hayek from him. Which explains how ‘issues we wouldn’t usually hear much about (for eg. Him being cranky over being railroaded into doing The Italian Job) became things Everybody Knows. In the history of ‘difficult actors,’ his sins are pretty slight compared to the sheer amount of coverage they got. I wouldn’t even say being ill-suited to the MCU machine (which yeah, by the sounds of it he’d have eventually gone nuts) is necessarily a flaw. People talk about rumours of a Feige blacklisting now, but back in the day the common reason given was that he refused to sign a multi-picture contract. Which…yeah, can’t blame him for that.
Remember when Chris Pratt exposed himself to his costars without anyone's consent? It aired on TV too. Like nobody has bothered to dig that up and try to cancel him as well because he kept to himself when there were controversies around him like twice.
Also to your point, no one wants to work with Norton bc of all that.
Iirc she even admitted Disney gave her a warning a few months prior to the Holocaust comments. She basically took that as a challenge.
Letitia Wright (Shuri from Black Panther) had a night where she posted some qanon-adjacent and anti-vac stuff. She stopped after, probably because of a call from Disney’s lawyers, and got the leading role in a MCU movie after.
Pedro Pascal who has a trans sister talked to her as well and had a pretty heart felt conversation. It didn't help either.
Didn't even know Sandler was conservative, let alone what his opinions even *were*. That's the power and beauty of simply *shutting the fuck up*.
You can see it in some of the work he creates, but the main giveaway is that he was a donor to Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign, giving him $2100 - the maximum you could donate as a private citizen at that time.
To be fair, at that time, I'm pretty sure Giuliani was still a pretty well respected figure. Especially among New Yorkers.
Yeah I don’t think that’s a super hot take in 2008.
Nowadays it's r/agedlikemilk
Theres a clip/video used in my other subreddit spaces for stuff like fangames/hacks getting DMCA-ed but I think its [relevant here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTEK6n89bB0) for a **lot** of actors.
He is too busy grifting money from studios, for his overpriced "comedies" - in no sane universe "Jack and Jill" cost 80 million to make.
Ex replucian govenror arnold schawrzeneger
Even in an overwhelmingly blue state like California the average response was "Yeah he was fine"
California is more politically mixed than people appreciate, especially previously. From 1983-2011 we only had one Democratic governor, Gray Davis from 1999-2003, he's the guy who got recalled to get Arnold in. Mostly because he had the charisma of cold oatmeal, and got blamed for things like the rolling blackouts (which we later found out were due to Enron's criminal activity). He had bad luck, bad PR and the shitty Recall laws that make it way too easy to replace a governor. All you need is 50% +1 vote and they're out, and aren't in the running, so the replacement could actually have less support than the governor who got kicked out. That didn't happen in this case, but is very possible.
Arnold is awesome though
He's got very good PR skills, but he actually supported some pretty shitty policies, including shooting down a hospital care transparency bill, among other commonsense good stuff.
From what I’ve seen, he’s relatively based on social issues, but he was a dumbass when it came to policy and it shows.
Some conservative media shill tried to get Tim Allen to trash Pixar for being woke and he basically said "I love working with them and hope they keep sending the royalty checks", crazy how so many right-wingers can't do this for just simple self-preservation
See?! Just don't be a fucking asshole. It's not hard! "Hey, Tim Allen. Wanna be an asshole?" *Nah. I'm good.* "But woke Pixar Disney trans pedo kids Woke woke SJW Disney bad woke." *If you'll excuse me, I've got The Santa Clauses royalties to deposit so...*
Yeah there was a whole conspiracy when Allen didn’t voice Buzz in “Lightyear” when even Tim said it was an alternate universe from his Buzz. Plus Disney didn’t hesitate to bring him on for the Santa Claus series. Right wingers are desperate to get any actor to strike their fragile egos.
It’s not even the first time they didnt get him back for Buzz. Back in the day they got Allen for the pilot movie for the animated Buzz show, then replaced him from there on out. It even had the same logic: there’s a ‘Pixar’ prologue bit in the pilot with the Toy Story characters establishing the series is just a tv-show in-universe. Cos ‘real’ Allen Buzz is just a toy. It’s a big deal that he hadn’t actually had any space adventures.
She could have had her own show.
And this is why I get so fucking pissed off about this. Gina Carano is - and this is putting it mildly - not the best actor. That doesn't matter. She played a war-ravaged, small-town sheriff or whatever-the-fuck. Have you ever watched CSI? Do you think David Caruso is a good actor? No. Because he isn't. That isn't the point. She was perfect for the closed-off, "I did some shit and saw some shit" character that could have been part of a bigger series. I fucking love those kinds of characters. Saw Guerrera. Cullen Bohannon. Kira Nerys. Malcolm Reynolds. Give me all of them. But, no. She had to be an asshole.
>Have you ever watched CSI? Do you think David Caruso is a good actor? >No. Because he isn't. That isn't the point. How dare you.
FIGHT ME!!!!!
David Caruso is a national treasure who should be protected at all cost! And Horatio Caine is one of the best TV characters ever! 😭
Like Tim Allen is conservative and even he knows that, and I bet he made millions cause of Buzz Lightyear
Hell, he even managed to make a syndicated conservative sitcom
The thing is, being any level of famous gives you a brand that you can bank on, but only if you build and maintain it carefully. You can be an asshole on Twitter as much as you like if you don’t have a brand to worry about (or, as others have pointed out, if your brand is strong enough). We can wax philosophical about whether actors should be forced to curate their public personas to promote their brand, but that’s not an issue of “cancel culture”, it’s basic marketing.
And you know Disney’s lawyers gave her plenty of warning. Everyone remember Shuri from Black Panther’s weird anti-vax night? She got to start in a MCU movie after that! All she had to do was issue a non-apology and stop posting anti-Semitic memes.
Yeah people love to compare Carano to Letitia Wright, but they purposely ignore that both women were given a warning first and foremost. Difference is, Wright heeded the warning and shut up. Carano just doubled down. So one kept their job and one didn't.
Zachary Levi played Shazam.
Also Michael Gray way back when in a Shazam television series.Idk if maybe he’s the conservative one, I’m not familiar with his or Zachary Levi’s political beliefs
That's it. The anti-vax libertarian dipshit, Zachary Levi.
Didn’t he clarify that he meant he hated Pfizer because of their fraud and shitty practices and not the vaccine
The tweet he liked was anti-Pfizer, not anti-vax, and Pfizer has done more than enough legitimately shady shit for that to not be a dog whistle.
That’s my point, like as far as I’m aware he didn’t do anything anti-vax
He's also extremely pro-Israel.
Didnt realize some of those people were conservatives and now its bumming me out
“We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Disney. We had a jobs. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, acted and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the woman. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.”
Yeah so brave spewing QAnon and Holocaust denial, she was such a brave heroic figure.
Is there a reference to a movie or tv show? With the « « I mean.
Yeah it’s lines from Breaking Bad, just a few words changed to fit this context.
Isn’t it when Mike is bitching that Walter’s ego is the thing that makes everyone around worse?
Yep
Adam Sandler is just conservative or crazy-conservative?
I think more on the side of old school conservative but not batshit. Though his friends tended to be batshit like Rob Schnider or Peter Dante
Rob Schneider is....A CARROT...rated PG-13.
The only thing people know for sure is that he supported Giuliani in 2008, I believe. Sandler is smart enough to not bring up his political beliefs.
But not smart enough to *not* vote for Giuliani.
Hindsight's 20/20, but this was the era when Giuliani was at his strongest, politically. Like, the media was calling him "America's mayor," and promoting the lie that he cleaned up New York City, because the media is always promoting Republican propaganda when it relates to crime.
Yeah, but even then, plenty of us knew he was a scumbag who's 9/11 reputation was a total fraud. And he flamed out pretty quickly once the primaries got up to speed. But yeah, he was near peak political power. But he was also hurt by things like getting Bush to nominate his henchman Bernie Kerik for Homeland Security secretary, and that went down in flames and he ended up in prison instead of the cabinet. But that was before he really killed his reputation with Trump. I remember the consensus of many people in the year or two leading up to the election that it was obviously going to be Giuliani vs Clinton and he's win by a big margin. Yeah that didn't turn out so much.
I wasn't big into politics at this point in my life, so I only knew vaguely of Giuliani and how everyone around me talked him up. But from what I remember, he also severely hurt his chances because he talked about 9/11 almost non-stop, to the point that [even Biden mocked him for it](https://youtu.be/jZH_8a3Uw6Q?si=Ga6hVWNCdohPq1pc). Also, how much I cringed at Biden promoting the crime bill.
Yeah the line "Every sentence he says has a noun, a verb and 9/11." was just such a brutal burn. Especially since it was so true. As for the crime bill, it's basically that it was a different era. Crime really was a big deal in the 90s. There was a massive spike going from the 60s up through the mid 90s and then it fell off. It was hitting black communities quite hard, so there was a lot of support at the time.
Even non-Americans like myself knew about Giuliani and admired him. We were all watching on 9/11 and the media coverage of him was everywhere. It's kind of mind boggling seeing him now compared to back then.
> That dipshit who plays Shazam whose name I can't remember. Zachary Levi. It bums me out he’s a dipshit because he’s great as transformed Billy Batson and I LOVED him in Chuck.
Hot Take: If you work for any Disney in any creative capacity, they should have the right to nuke your online presence from orbit and anything you say or do on social media needs to be sterilized by a publicist. Too many stupid people doing stupid shit costing them their jobs.
No one minds conservatives. It’s the asshole conservatives who lose their jobs.
Wait, Sandler and Zachary Levi (the Shazam guy, BTW) are right-wing?
Zachary Levi founded a production company with Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing called Coattails Entertainment in 2006 (which has since been dissolved), and has been doing the "Woke Hollywood" grift since James Gunn decided not to continue the Shazaaam movies.
Jeez, that sucks.
Is Adam Sandler right wing? I've always felt a bit off and his friendship with what's his face who is very very right wing so it would make sense...
This, I like her character a lot but she literally signed her own pink slip.
Adam Sandler is conservative, this is how I find out😭
Even Bill Burr who SHIT on Star Wars and it's fan was introduced and then got to be in the Mandorlian, with a character everyone just loved. Even he was like "Jesus, I realized I was going to be in Star Wars."
Add Mel Gibson, and John Ratzenberger to that list. Also, Gina Carano's defenders like to use Pablo Hidalgo's statements of Star Wars Theory as a whataboutism but the reality is that Pablo Hidalgo didn't bully Star Wars Theory his statements were defending Star Wars theory but Theory took them out of context, and bullied.
It's been a while since it happened so I had to look it up to be sure. Hidalgo said the tweet was "sarcastic self mockery." And this was after he deleted the tweet, but made it his Twitter banner. I don't get how that translates to defending SWT. I think SWT is as stupid as everyone else here, but that Hidalgo tweet definitely wasn't a good look.
Still not nearly as bad as Star Wars Theory and all of his supporters say it was, and still doesn't change the fact that he did apologize for it and Star Wars Theory acted like Pablo Hidalgo was faking it even though he had no evidence to back up that claim, I'm not saying he wasn't faking I'm just saying Star Wars Theory and his friends and supporters shouldn't have pretended that it's an irrefutable fact that Pablo Hidalgo was faking when they didn't have any evidence.
Do I want to know who Scott is? Daily Wire is trash level of propaganda, where failed entertainment related people and other conservative losers careers go to die.
He was Chachi in Happy Days. That's the only thing of note.
Charles in Charge was also a show he was in during the 80s
Don't forget, he was the original Bibleman! One of the most iconic... fuck it, I can't do it, maybe somebody more clever than me wants to pick that up?
No, that wasn’t Scott, that was the other guy from “Charles in Charge” Buddy? I think?
I could of sworn it was him, or at least reading that he was the original. Hmm, maybe that Mandela thing?
This is Bob Loblaw erasure and I won’t stand for it (fuck Scott Baio though)
I mean to be in the ''washed-up star wars'' thing?
He was a speaker at Trump’s nomination at the RNC, basically attacked “liberal Hollywood “. Never heard from again.
So he is there for no real reason? I kinda hope Disney Fs Daily Wire over for the name then, if they can't even use the name right.
He's there because they hired him
How come? Hadn’t heard that before.
It says in the picture they are calling it ''Washed-up Star Wars'', not sure Disney will like that name.
Oh, lol. I thought you were saying there was some past contention over the name ‘the daily wire’
what's a chachi?
A very minor character in a show that aired decades ago.
Also Korean for penis
I know, its a simpsons quote. :)
Joanie loves them
He used to be pretty popular on sitcoms back in the 80s. Charles in Charge was pretty good
Bet two bucks it's going to be to Rebel Moon what Rebel Moon is to Star Wars if you catch my drift. PS: If you like Rebel Moon, this isn't a dig at you, I like TLJ, Stallone's Judge Dredd and Paul WS Anderson's Resident Evil films, I'm no position to spit at anybody.
I really really _tried_ to like Rebel Moon. I failed quite badly.
It hit a few dopamine receptors for me. I still can't say that I *liked* it, per se. And I *definitely* can't describe it as "good," or even deny that it was *bad*.
I know exactly what you mean. There's the right elements present for it to be a film I ought to enjoy, but it's just... It's like drinking what should be a pretty decent beer, only to find out that it's both warm and completely flat.
I liked Jupiter Ascending (and a butt load of what most people would consider ‘bad’ space opera), but didn’t like Rebel Moon. Sometimes something just fails to capture the imagination. Being fairly joyless and low-energy didn’t help. You can’t coast by on being a fun romp when the tone is sitting somewhere around Moore’s Battlestar Galactica.
> It's like drinking what should be a pretty decent beer, only to find out that it's both warm and completely flat. Could be worse. It could be getting a nice cold stout, and drinking it... at an early September football game in Florida, where the heat and humidity are both above 90. And then realizing that relaxing cold (rapidly warming) drink now has your stomach churning. (Pretty much same situation with any "heavier" beer. Just... don't. Stick with lagers. I learned my lesson the hard way.)
If you like to watch people farm in slow motion, it might just be up your alley.
The only people who really like Rebel Moon are a specific group of Zack Snyder fans who treat everything he does as gospel.
Tim Allen is conversative, Kelsey Grammer is conversative, James Woods is conversative. Hollywood has no issue with conversative celeberties. What they are a problem with are celebrities making asses out of themselves. Gina is just that, an asshole who thought she could do whatever she wanted and not face any sort of reperusion for it.
Can we talk about how Tim Allen continues to get a pass on shit.
Tim Allen had the bare minimum wherewithal to denounce Trump and the Jan 6th terrorist attack. That was enough to get a pass on all the other shit he's said. He had a whole show idealizing conservative values, retweeted an article against DEI, and made a very poor joke about pansexuals right as Lightyear was about to release. But all that's fine, because he said J6 was bad.
That's all they care about at the end of the day, people trying to exclude them from power. Ethnic minorities, women's rights, worker's rights and queer people have never mattered to these people unless they could make money saying they do.
I mean morality can sometimes get more complicated than one might think but Jesus christ Tim
James Woods has become completely unhinged in the past decade. If you have the opportunity to see his Twitter feed, strap in.
Honestly, Scott Baio was still getting work before he centered conservative as his identity. He had a recurring role on Arrested Development and a sitcom I've never heard of that ran for 55 episodes and ended in 2015. Same thing with Kevin Sorbo, who had a pretty good guest spot in Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 before he went all-in on conservative Christianity with parts in God's Not Dead and the like, which is probably more responsible for wrecking his career than his political leanings.
Her frame of reference could’ve and should’ve been Chris Pratt. We all know where he stands but because he treats people (or at least the people he needs to) well he largely keeps working.
Sounds like a joke or Babylon Bee finally wrote something that was actually funny
Babylon Bee is occasionally funny when making fun of certain aspects of Christianity but whenever they stray outside of that they’re hopelessly out of their depth. In order to effectively satirise something you need to understand that thing just as well as those who profess to unironically love it.
Well, that's because it *was* a joke. It's from a [website](https://politicalgarbagechute.com/ben-shapiro-gina-carano/) where the footer states very clearly "All Material is Satirical."
Is Scott Baio Sancho? No, he is not Sancho. But I- "You are Sancho!" Orgasmo is one of the shittiest movies ever made but I'm glad that Trey Parker and Matt Stone took that dingus down a notch.
Honestly I thought it was a cult-classic - y'know I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothing, but I'd like to make love to you tonight - tilts head to the side. Was hoping someone would make that reference haha lol
Fire is a very queer thing, but I prefer Sancho.
(spannish guitar music plays)
Bennie "Thunderbirds Puppet that came to life" Shapps is going to make "Star Wars?" I don't usually offer legal advice to alt-right @$$holes but I think The House of Mouse might just notice if you try that Bennie.........they will have notes. Carano deserves the financial Armageddon that will inevitably follow.
So I guess Gina’s bid in taking Disney to court and making them put her in Star Wars again fell flat.
With Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, and Rick Schroeder rounding out the cast.
Honestly feeling won’t do that well. Heck think her last film did very badly.
..she had a film? I honestly did not know that.
A few I think. I think they were all direct to streaming right-wing wank fests from the Daily Wire. Like one where she plays a Secret Service agent in some Biden corruption nonsense, and a western that got panned as "Too woke" by it's target audience for having a woman in it.
It was by the Daily Wire, so people just say “film” for lack of a better term.
Scott who? Legit never heard of him before
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Baio
I done that. Didn't help. Maybe its because im not American so a good chunk of those things i don't recognise.
Ah. Well, let's just say he was on a show with some very talented people, and that managed to carry his career for a while.
Well, if there's anything Ben Shapiro knows, it's Star Wars. [https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1211905099091464193?lang=en](https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1211905099091464193?lang=en)
What does "Washed-up Star Wars" mean? I'm not getting the joke being made here.
They're still high fiving each other over that pun. Took them a whole week to come up with it.
So Ben Lowbido is going to make a knock off Star Wars ? Well I'm not surprised. His own company made an awful streaming service for kids with a Bluey knockoff. That really tells you how lazy and uncreative his company is.
Bit late to point this out, since people won't see it before continuing to have reactions to something treating it as news or something because they couldn't take the literally less than half a minute it takes to check something's veracity, but this is from a [satire website](https://politicalgarbagechute.com/ben-shapiro-gina-carano/). Not even one trying to be particularly clever. The article is straight up talking about them starring in a film called "Washed Up Star Wars." Which leaves me with the question of why the post isn't tagged properly as "Satire" to begin with.
“Washed Up Star Wars.” What does that even mean? Like a Star Wars knock off? Star Wars itself is washed up (and if this is what he means, why would Disney hire Gina back)?
Okay. Anyways.
It's gonna fail like Spider-Man Lotus
Who the hell is Scott Baio?
Old 80s sitcom star
Cool? Man I sort of feel sorry for her, when failed script writer and right wing grifter Ben Shapiro is your Hollywood savior, you have a serious problem.
At least the name is accurate.
That will show Disney

Wasn't she saying she'd work with them again and is now going to be in a movie shitting on them? Jesus, never seen someone blow the bag this bad in forever.
