Mark Ruffalo, Javier Bardem Sign on to Executive Produce Jordan’s Pro-Palestinian Oscar Entry Film Funded by the Saudis

0

Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem have already made it clear they are anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian.

Now they’ve signed on as executive producers of a movie Jordan is submitting to the Oscars.

“All That’s Left of You” comes from the Palestinian film company called Watermelon. It’s financed by the Red Sea Fund and the Red Sea Film Festival, Trojan horses for the Saudi royal family.

The film is about people in the West Bank getting killed by Israel. There’s no recognition of Hamas’s control over Gaza, or the 20 living hostages (and 26 dead ones) still being held by Hamas in Gaza.

Ruffalo and Bardem are either very naive or antisemitic. Pick one. They’re also partnered now with the movie’s other EP, Republican filmmaker Geralyn Dreyfous.

Among other Watermelon movies is “Israelism,” a propaganda film that shows American Jewish young people going to Israel and “defecting” to Gaza. The word “apartheid” is inappropriately thrown around for effect.

Again, Ruffalo and Bardem are not executive producing a film about families who sent members to the Nova Film Festival on October 7th and never saw them again.

Personally, I’m very disappointed in Bardem. Ruffalo has been a political activist often on the right side of protests — like fracking and saving NYC landmarks. But this is wrong, and will only promote antisemitism.

Meantime, the Red Sea Film Festival and Red Sea Fund from Saudi Arabia continue to infiltrate Hollywood. They fly dozens of actors to their festival and treat them like royalty. One things actors like are free trips and fawning.

The Saudis have really figured this out. The American stars don’t seem to realize that women and gays have no rights there, and that the royal family chopped up American journalist Jamal Khashoggi and got away with it. It’s all about the Benjamins.

No link, or trailer. Sorry.

Watch “Wicked: For Good” Final Trailer: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande Headed for Huge Box Office Release, Awards

0

Here’s the final trailer for “Wicked: For Good,” coming in November.

Big box office, many awards nominations are on the horizon. Two new songs also, written for this film by Stephen Schwartz.

Here’s what happens in this part two:
Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).

Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.

As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.

As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.

Oscar Winner Jessica Chastain Objects to Apple TV “Pausing” Her Show, “The Savant,” Because of Charlie Kirk Murder

0

Jessica Chastain is not happy with Apple TV.

She’s very diplomatic but Chastain tells her 5 million followers she objects to Apple “pausing” the launch of her TV series, “The Savant.”

You can read her whole statement below.

Apple delayed the show following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Chastain plays a domestic terrorism expert in the series.

“After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone ‘The Savant,’” reads a statement from Apple. “We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date.”

The official logline for the series describes it as “follows an undercover investigator known as ‘The Savant’ as she infiltrates online hate groups in an effort to stop domestic extremists before they act.”

Chastain plays Jodi Goodwin, a military veteran who works at the Anti-Hate Alliance.

Considering the amount of violence on network TV on a nightly basis, it seems unlikely that a streaming show would do anything more to incite trouble.

Kimmel Monologue Hits Record 14 Million Views on YouTube and Only Getting Bigger by the Hour: Trump Revived His Show (UPDATING)

0

Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue on last night’s show is setting a record.

So far the return episode, with the 18 minute opening, is going past 14 million views on YouTube.

The normal Kimmel YouTube clip of a monologue is around 250,000.

Donald Trump has turned Kimmel into a massive hit.

The official Kimmel YouTube channel has 21 million subscribers, so it will be interesting to see if the views of the monologue exceed that number.

Of course, the clips of guests Glen Powell and Sarah Maclachlan drop to regular numbers.

But Kimmel’s opening remarks last night and probably for the rest of the week are going to be the subject of intense curiosity.

The inflated number also comes from conservative TV station owners Sinclair and Nexstar pulling the show in their markets.

Frustrated viewers are turning to YouTube.

“South Park” Returns Tonight with First Episode Post-Kirk Assassination and Kimmel Suspension, Could Be Explosive

0

“South Park” returns tonight.

It’s the first episode since the Charlie Kirk assassination and Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension.

It could be explosive.

The one line offered from Comedy Central about the episode is “Kyle and Cartman are at odds when a prediction markets app gets popular with their fellow students.”

But the pictures they sent don’t reflect that. We’ve a Trump-impregnated Satan in bed, with Trump offering a meal.

There’s also a picture of the kids in school, with Jesus in the gym locker room. The “prediction app” will be something like Fan Duel, I guess.

I doubt “South Park” will address the Kirk murder. But everything else, maybe including Tylenol, seems ripe for the picking.

Kimmel Return Monologue Gracious, Respectful, Passionate, Offers Sincere Apology And Returns to Send Up Trump (Videos)

0

Jimmy Kimmel’s return monologue was a classy affair.

He apologized to people who may have been offended by his Charlie Kirk murderer remark. He also reminded us that he’d preceded those jokes with a sincere message about Kirk’s death. He praised Erika Kirk for forgiving the murderer.

Sometimes fighting back tears, Kimmel thanked everyone who supported him. He spoke from the heart, was sincere, gracious, and passionate. He was also very funny. When he returned from a break, he did a hilarious Zoom skit with Robert De Niro as the new head of the FCC, basically a gangster. Kimmel also lampooned Trump for the Tylenol scandal and his appearance at the UN today.

Kimmel looked tired and like he hadn’t eaten much in the last six days. But he’s back, and that’s the main thing.

Sore Loser: Trump Threatens to Sue ABC Over Jimmy Kimmel Return: Lies That He Was Told By ABC Source Kimmel Show Was Cancelled

0

Trump is a sore loser.

With 40 minutes to go before Jimmy Kimmel’s triumphant return to TV, Trump wrote this on TruthSocial:

“I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his “talent” was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”

LOL. He lost and can’t accept it. Now he will sit there and squirm at 11:35 eastern as Kimmel gets massive standing ovation from his audience. His ratings will soar. Trump has actually caused one of his biggest enemies to grow more powerful. It’s too delicious!

And no, your orange freak, Kimmel’s audience isn’t “gone.” It was so strong that it forced Disney to stare you down. Hundreds of celebrities signed a petition, posted angry messages, vowed never to watch ABC again, and canceled their Disney Plus subscriptions.

Now Kimmel will come back stronger than ever. All because of you!

Is it A Sign? The Trump Reign of Terror Began on an Escalator, And Now it Ended On One, Too: Watch Before and After

0

Was it a sign today?

Back in June 2015, Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign by going down an escalator at Trump Tower.

Today, Trump couldn’t get up an escalator at the UN because it was either broken or sabotaged.

Before and after. A sign from God? I think so. It’s a metaphor, and cosmic zetz. These two episodes are brackets.

And when Trump did get inside the UN General Assembly, his Teleprompter broke. Still he managed to say things so stupid and inane, not one world leader — even the ones who hate each other — will ever forget. He begged for a Nobel Peace Prize and insulted all the heads of state.

We can only imagine he took the elevator down.

First never forget this:

Fox News’s Jesse Watters Says Something Far More Incendiary and Dangerous Than Kimmel Ever Has: “We should bomb the UN”

0

During an exchange between Fox News’s two laughing hyenas, Jesse Watters really said something dangerous.

It was more incendiary than anything Jimmy Kimmel said, by miles.

Watters told Greg Gutfeld: ““What we need to do is either leave the UN or bomb it.”

Yes he said it. Funny? No. Suggestive to some crazy person? Of course.

Watters was bemoaning Donald Trump’s appearance there today. The escalators weren’t working. The Telemprompter had glitches. So this was Watters’ solution.

The two Bozos did agree that because the UN was in New York, there might be problems. But they sloughed that off pretty fast.

Will Watters be yanked off the air? No. Fox News is a circus. The nighttime anchors are very bad animals.
