Solo bombing at the box office is the most significant event to hit the movie business in decades. The surest thing in the history of sure things is no longer a sure thing.  

The “Hoaxtroversy” is our corrupt establishment media’s latest way to pretend bigotry is still a major problem in America. Which means that the media’s need to manufacture a hoaxtroversy (a controversy that proves to be a hoax) actually serves as yet one more slice of proof of just how little racism, sexism, and homophobia exists in this country.

Could someone inform Variety that a Lady Terminator is a 16-year-old idea that reaches all the way back to 2003’s “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.”

Rose McGowan claims she told actor Ben Affleck that Harvey Weinstein allegedly raping her. Not only did she tell Affleck, she claims to have told him almost immediately after the alleged crime way back in 1997.

Out of the growing fear that the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal is about to spin out of control, is about to bring down those (like Ben Affleck) who are not useless has-beens like Harvey, the bombshell news that The Weinstein Company board knew of Harvey’s payoffs to women is being downplayed, especially by the Hollywood trades.
