BlueRiver Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Just now, JudyJudyJudy said: Not sure why they did the changes. Probably for ratings ? That's the only reason. However the rating slumped. I don't mind " reimagining " of classics but this went too far. Apparently there are spanking scenes in it lol. Its a great novel and was already filmed magnificently by David Lean in the 1940s with the great Martita Hunt as Miss Havisham. I am guessing Olivia Coleman might want this erased from her CV in the future. Yeah I think that's what I'm meaning though is that it seems less about being "woke" and more about cheap changes to try and drum up interest. Be better focusing on some new content than rehashing classics every couple years imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really like Jean Simmons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're right to end supply, but they're only doing it because of the media coverage. Also: Heineken of Netherlands presumably won't be supplying anywhere that engages with Zwarte Piet?

Well according to the individual they were playing a character for drama and shits and giggles. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJH2HsC4/ Looked FAF to me. The thing is social media you can find the biggest weirdo ever. Extremists aren’t evidence of much except extremists exist and they are idiots. They aren’t representative of the majority and the exception should never be the rule. Especially when their aim is just to find tik tok fame. I agree and the real issue with the extremist views on all sorts of topics is it pushes people to be more extreme in the other direction. With the ability for all the view points to be broadcast across multiple platforms it even eventually gets normalised onto TV channels. The Trans issue is a prime example - how did it rise to become the huge talking point in mainstream politics that it has? You have fairly normal individuals on either side taking some pretty extreme views and getting further and further apart as time goes on.

JudyJudyJudy Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Go woke and go broke . This “ band “hoped to get some brownie points with the gay crowd by sacking a colleague who apparently misgendered a rapist . .it spectacularly back fired . Nil points or the like last night at the Eurovision semi final . The singer also wore an extremely tight car suit which looked about as sexy as a limp piece of salad . Probably gay baiting.
