She's right in that it doesn't reflect her world today because it wasn't insane

She's right. It doesn't represent her world today as it was funny. Nothing in her woke world is funny anymore. So just sit in your own pee Molly and be miserable.

Oh and you were terrible in the Stand.

Is this like when those 2 Jewish women who created and wrote Friends beat themselves up recently for failing to make half of the cast black?


They should make a new one called "Homies" Except it would probably be closer to Chappelle's Mad Real World skit if it were real life.

Judd Nelson is Jewish, so is Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez is Latin, the other two are white. I'd say the representation is actually skewed in a certain way that Hollywood REALLY doesn't want to talk about...

...how exactly does a demographic that is <3% of the population seem to take up 10% of senate, 6% of the house, own/control a disproportionate amount of the media companies and news networks, appear in television and movies at an astronomical rate, yet still we need less white people in media?

Well, there goes my “Breakfast Chub.” Molly, you’re off my list.

it’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities.
Maybe because when it was made, America was 85% white.

Yeah, because it was made yesterday. Don't worry, though, Molly. It's still pretty subversive of that culture, ushering in the paradise we live in today.

She should just be glad that the only person who thought she was marquis star material was one of the most prolific directors of the 80's. Otherwise, Space Hunt would be her only credit.

In the remake she’ll be replaced by a black actor, considering she’s a ginger.

She’s not a real red head.

Didn't she say this years ago?

Still a dumb take, but I don't think this is new.

If made today, Emilio Estevez and Anthony Michael Hall would have a sex scene and Judd Nelson would have traded the duster for a dress.

She was even lucky to be in the film. She wasn't as good looking as people made her out to be. There was way better looking chicks at the time that should have been cast before her.

I'm still trying to figure out how she was at one point pretty much the biggest star in Hollywood and the world. Mia Sara was infinitely better and hotter.

By the numbers:

Trump received 77,302,580 votes in 2024.

That's 49.8% of the popular vote.
or
41.4% of registered voters.
or
28.1% of American adults
or
22.7% of the total population of the US.

Well how about his Molly why don’t you take the money you made on this movie then compound the interest on that cash from the past 40 years and then donate that sum to your favorite woke cause. Until that occurs these are nothing but empty words you are spouting.

This is very, you know, it’s very white, this movie.

That movie was set in a Chicago suburb that was not much different (in its time) than the suburb I lived when I was in Chicago.

My son went to fairly massive high school there. It had like 5 black people in it.

Not every location is a melting pot.
