Here Is Probably Why Movies Generally Suck

Posted by on

Come to think of it, it’s why all levels of government generally suck. I’m looking at you, SCOTUS.

Racist criteria suck.

The Four DEI Standards
To qualify for Best Picture consideration, a film must satisfy the following criteria:

Standard A: On-Screen Representation. The film must meet one of three conditions:
Cast a lead or significant supporting actor from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.
Ensure at least 30% of the ensemble cast consists of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, or underrepresented racial/ethnic groups (from at least two of these categories).
Center the main storyline or subject matter on an underrepresented group.

Standard B: Creative Leadership. At least two department heads (e.g., director, cinematographer, editor) must be from underrepresented groups, with at least one being a person of color. Alternatively, the film can meet this standard by employing six or more crew members from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups in technical roles, or having 30% of the entire crew come from at least two underrepresented categories.

Standard C: Industry Access. The film’s distributor or financing company must provide internship or entry-level opportunities to at least two individuals from underrepresented groups.

Standard D: Audience Development. The studio’s marketing, publicity, or distribution units must include at least two senior executives or consultants from underrepresented groups, including at least one person of color.

Straight Line of the Day: How To Know if a Toddler Is Racist: …

In Britain, Daycare Workers are Told to Report ‘Racist Toddlers’ to the Police
Breitbart | May 7, 2026 | Christian K. Caruzo

Nurseries in Wales have been instructed to report incidents of toddlers engaging in “racist” behaviour to the police in accordance to taxpayer-funded guidelines backed by the Welsh Labour-run British government.

The guidelines are reported to contain a extensive list of instructions for childcare workers to respond to “racist incidents” involving babies, toddlers, and children below the age of 12 and assess if an event would constitute a “hate crime” before reporting the case to the British police. It is stated the instructions’ ultimate goals is to turn childcare centres into “anti-racist” environments.

Maybe it’s the fault of those damned full DEIpers!

They always out-reason AOC.

This latest crackdown on baby racism follows similar childhood indoctrination campaigns in not-so-Great Britain, including … a government investigation of a child who asked his school teachers why he had to celebrate Ramadan when he is not a Muslim.

Bond Girlathon Wednesday : Suspended

Posted by on

Sorry about this but I have discovered some serious scheduling irregularities that I need to work out. I don’t have time to do so at the moment so no matches this week. One match from last week was actually a repeat. I need to redo the scheduling and that will take a little time. Hopefully I can get this sorted for next week and resume the matches. Sorry for the inconvenience. The Friday matches should be good to go. Here is a little something to tide you over.
