Holy Hell. Thank you Michaels. Hard pass on the trans-binary gender identity progressive nonsense. Do people actually watch these movies intentionally? Or is it more like going to the university where they just kind of get you when you're young, crawl in your head and fester.
Let's see. This movie gets fairly good reviews but upon further investigation, I see it's rated PG-13, involves tween kids with the main storyline being that the one girl is a lesbian.
So, I ask if any one of the Woke 'R Not crowd can step up and watch this film for me and kindly report back? That'd be great. It gets good reviews, but I can't just leap into a "PG-13, kid-focused lesbian-driven plot" film from the deep end. Thanks.

Unfunny Woke Fest
Only watched the first episode and already DEI everywhere. In fact entire cast not one single white male. Interracial couple. Multiple gender ideology pronoun comments. Complete garbage. Never laughed once in the entire episode though I did roll my eyes nonstop. It tries so hard to be clever, funny and relevant and just swan dives off a cliff instead. Cancelled after one season, not surprised, should have been cancelled at the drawing board.

Gravity
This unusual film has next to no dialog, relying instead on Robert Redford's acting skill. Having only one character protects against wokeness, so this mini-genre is quickly becoming my favorite.
The film is lambasted on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of 64%, because the character does everything wrong with respect to sailing. I got this, fam! He is senile! For example, when water starts pouring into his boat through a hole, he reacts very slowly (and stupidly). Just imagine Joe Biden in his place and it all makes sense. Imagine America as the boat, and the analogy is complete.
The director said the ending is not intentionally ambiguous and yet it is whatever each person thinks it is. Argh, what nonsense is this? I guess he means that the movie is like the double slit experiment: the director wrote it as an ambiguous wave, and yet each observer will see it go through either the left or right slit. He said that each viewer will interpret the ending in a way that is a reflection of oneself. My wife and I saw the ending in opposite ways, naturally. The film lives through the audience.
Come on in, the water is fine, with no wokeness or diversity!

Watchable Fargo Style Movie
Nothing woke. Nothing ground breaking and you can see where some of the twists are coming before hand. Good acting and generally
good story. Some minor problems with characters acting unrealistically but generally worth a one time watch.

Trapped between a rock and a hard place
“127 Hours” is a cinematic cousin of films like “Oxygène” and “Buried,” where the protagonist is confined to a single space. In this gripping true story, our protagonist is trapped by a boulder in a crevice. He records personal reflections on his camera, interspersed with vivid dreams and hallucinations that free us of the confines of his rocky prison. Nothing woke.

Woke Increasing
Season one was OK. It ended weird but Ok. On the woke scale it was at most a 2/5. Most of the woke elements can be ignored.
Now with season 2 all the usual woke elements have been amplified. I estimate a 3/5 or 4/5 by the time episode 4 came along. This is feeling a lot like the show Picard. I wanted to like it.
Gotta have the required gay married characters and of course criticize Christians for their beliefs.
I find it hard to believe “gay” was acceptable to the Shoshonee Indian tribe. But that was never mentioned during the show, of course.
The interaction with Indians and related spin was entirely amplified. As expected with the specific director of episode 4.
The story at this point has lost the cool points and is nothing more than the usual Hollywood preaching.
HOLLYWOOD. ARE YOU LISTENING? No one wants the preaching. You morales are trash. The spin is crap. You are losing gobs of money because of it. The domestic box office is cratering. Maybe $5.6 billion for 2024. Taking into account inflation that’s like the year 1980 box off draw. Your headed for bankruptcy.

"Well, Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?"
"The Remains of the Day" is a slow-paced period drama with next to no plot development. Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Mr. Stevens, the emotionally repressed butler, comes off as excessively cold to the point of sociopathy, making it difficult for the audience to find him relatable or believable.
On the plus side, the film steers clear of wokeness. The plot touches on the Nazis and their treatment of the Jews, but it's relevant to the history-inspired fictional story.
I picked this movie for my wife, who often protests when I choose science fiction movies, including classics like Star Wars. Like many women, she prefers period romances, so I try to find highly rated ones for her. Despite my efforts, she usually ends up disliking my selections, and "The Remains of the Day" was no exception. She bailed before the end. It reminds me of advice from a dating book I read decades ago: do not be the one to choose the movie, or the woman may blame you for not being able to psychically predict the suitability of a movie you have not seen.
The movie is based on the novel of the same name, which apparently has a similar but more satisfying ending. Like the novel, the movie includes a pigeon at the very end. This symbolic pigeon resurfaced my PTSD from the ending of Battlestar Galactica.
This movie showcases great acting of implausible characters. The result is far from a masterpiece, despite so many rave reviews elsewhere. I'm sure I'm not missing anything.

Lesbian Woke Fest
One big giant lesbian movie with unnecessary lesbian sex scenes. The whole movie is just lesbians talking crudely about sex and graphic lesbian sex scenes. Every female character is a condescending, nasty, disgusting person. Terrible acting and cinematography. There is no comedy here at all. What happened to Ethan Coen? Pointless garbage that has no reason to exist.

"I find your lack of diversity disturbing."
"Star Wars" remains one of the greatest films of all time. The plot is electrifying, and the special effects are mesmerizing. There is no forced diversity. However, it is starting to show its age and was never perfect.
Some of Darth Vader's dialogue feels awkward, likely due to James Earl Jones' voice being dubbed in post-production. This results in slight misalignments between Vader and other characters' lines, causing subtle discomfort for the audience.
The famous cantina scene has always bothered me. Most of the aliens are laughable, with only "Hammerhead", Greedo, and Chewbacca being somewhat believable. And Chewbacca is just a rebranded Bigfoot.
Mark Hamill's performance as Luke Skywalker is another weak point. His acting seems more suited to a 1970s TV sitcom, contrasting sharply with the strong performances around him. He acquired his early experience on shows like "The Cosby Show," "The Partridge Family," and "General Hospital," as well as animated series like "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" and "Jeannie". Luke's infamous whine, "But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!" is overdone and not the only instance of Hamill's subpar acting. What was George Lucas thinking?! And now Mark Hamill is extra whiny with his TDS.
I'm still not on board with the changes George Lucas made long after the film's initial release. Next time, I plan to hunt down an original version.
Despite these criticisms, I love the film. It's a shame what happened to the franchise later on.

Another 'Prequel' That Ignores and Rewrites The Original.
Didn't really notice anything woke. Terrible attempts at rewriting a classic horror story. Again there is little actual horror in this. The acting and FX are good and the movie is well made but the rewriting of the story is garbage. So many things are changed that do nothing but go against the Omen story as established. For example no longer born of a Jackal but just a woman now. Why? This is a huge part of the story. There are now multiple children of the Devil. Now a twin sister. Multiple people have the mark of the Devil instead of just the Antichrist. Suddenly the church is evil and responsible for the AntiChrist. How is this a prequel when it completely changes pretty much all elements of the story. This is garbage and is not a true part of the Omen series.

America Bad
Not really woke other than the obvious DEI casting choices. It is however very political in it's messaging. America intolerant, war mongering, violent, lying fascist. American military and soldiers are evil. Asians good, tolerant, peaceful and virtuous. Not surprising as this is an America hating Disney movie. The acting is good and the VFX and cinematography are incredible. The story is full of potholes and things that make no sense. As long as you can recognize the propaganda and turn your brain off is is somewhat enjoyable as a mindless sci-fi action movie.

Lost potential
Similar to "Expedition Unknown", this is a "search for Atlantis" type show containing a morsel of scientific meat wrapped in a bun of speculation. I find ancient archeology intriguing, but the host often leaps to conclusions, sensationalizing the content to cater to a cable TV audience.
Another flaw is that the focus tends to be on the host, Albert Lin. Albert is from California, and wants his feelings to take front and center. However, I don't recall anything overtly woke.
Despite these faults, Lin still manages to make or highlight small but significant archaeological discoveries, resulting in a slightly less mind numbing alternative to fictional programming. The best episodes are like "El Dorado", where he makes a new discovery without exaggerating it. The worst episodes are like "The Great Flood", where he tries to take credit for the work of others while making wild speculations of the implications. Overall, 3/5.
