Sorry, Johnny–you’ve got to move out!
Seven out of eight of Disney Corp’s big-budget movies have tanked at the box office. Can’t keep doing that!
So what do you do?
Do you plan another installment in one of your most successful series–“Pirates of the Caribbean”–only this time replacing Johnny Depp with some black woman as the pirate captain? Because!
This stuff isn’t funny anymore, isn’t outrageous. It’s just stupid. Toweringly stupid.
Yeah, I know: for years, for decades, a standard cliche of schlock pop literature was the gawgeous sexy female pirate captain. I used to attend romance writers’ meetings, until I came to my senses. Believe me, they were high on this cliche.
There is no historical record of any gorgeous sexy female pirate captain. No, not one. There were a few women who disguised themselves as men so they could be pirates, but that’s not the same as being captain. Rachel Wall, the last woman hanged in Massachusetts, was hanged for being a pirate.
What is it with Disney? Do they think they can keep failure as their most important product, and never go out of business? But they’re all white liberals, aren’t they? And this is how they show the country how righteous they are.
They have hired a “crisis management expert” who has warned them about using movies as Far Left political sermons… but they aren’t listening to him. (Yeesh, talk about a thankless job…!)
At this point, I’ve given up on Disney ever turning this around. Disney, as we knew it, is dead and gone, an absolute train wreck has replaced it. In my humble opinion, it is dead, but is yet to fall over.
I’m sure it will be falling over pretty soon– and who cares? Too bad about Walt Disney. I’m glad he doesn’t have to see this disaster.
Disney is not listening the way most of our representatives are not listening in the U.S. Congress.
When you can steal elections, you don’t have to listen.
I remember the day Walt Disney died was the same day my beloved grandfather died. I was 13 and I thought the world had changed radically. And it did for me. Disney company had a few more good movies, but the world changed.
