It’s not enough that the slimy underbelly that is Hollywood has had a bright nasty light shown on it. Nope. All of y’all persist in showcasing the left as if they are magical beings who are the ONLY people who matter in this country. Case in point? This announcement.
Sandra Bullock will star in the spec “Let Her Speak” as Texas senator Wendy Davis, whose 11-hour filibuster helped stall an anti-abortion bill in the Texas state house.
Todd Black and Jason Blumenthal are on board to produce through their Escape Artists banner.
At the time, Davis was a little known Democratic senator who soon became a national icon on the subject of abortion after filibustering for 11 hours in order to stall a bill, and ultimately delaying its passage beyond the midnight deadline for the end of the legislative session. The bill would have included more restrictive abortion regulations for Texas and would have closed all abortion clinics in the state.
Everyone in Hollywood will tout this as a blockbuster. But reality called $$ will bite HARD. It will tank just like the misguided Valerie Plame movie did. Or worse.
Who is Wendy Davis? We’ve written about Abortion Barbie more than a few times. A few samples are here, here, here, and here.
Needless to say, I have to wonder how the script will portray Wendy, “Abortion Barbie” Davis? Will they go with the fawning Vogue story she helped peddle?
Or will they actually show that Wendy lied about her struggles in life, lied about how poor she was, lied about how she got into Harvard and paid for it, and well … lied about pretty much everything?
Yeah No. Forget that. We are talking about Hollywood. Reality and Truth isn’t their gig. On the other hand, bending the truth and reality to fit their narrative (read the Left’s narrative) IS their gig these days.
I know – the solution to Hollywood's tanking sales is preachy leftist movies. https://t.co/Wo93Gw5uu0

Depends upon how you define “huge”
Over under it makes more at the box office than her popular vote total?

Yes, indeed. Hollywood continues to demonstrate their cluelessness as to what Americans want to see. The movie about Valerie Plame? Having Robert Redford involved couldn’t even make it work! Other movies with a serious Left bent tanked BIGLY.
Meanwhile the movies that resonated with Americans everywhere?
Lone Survivor
American Sniper
Taking Chance
Patriot Games
Schindlers List
Saving Private Ryan
Those are just a very few of the movies that didn’t cram Leftist dreck down our throats and in fact spoke highly of all that is American, and viewers responded favorably.
However, this movie about Wendy Davis will tank. Period.
Think about it. Grandstanding, excuses, and more were part and parcel of Wendy’s pink sneaker clad filibuster.
Yet since then, and particularly in the last 2 years we’ve all seen horrific revelation after horrific revelation as to how heinous Planned Parenthood and abortion really is. We’ve written about all of it here.
Wendy herself is a fan of magazines that tout showing teenagers how to practice anal sex!
I️ appreciate @TeenVogue allowing me to reflect on where we are one year post Trump election. BC of amazing women warriors, I️ am hopeful and inspired! #DeedsNotWords https://t.co/xNiTeq6vTD

And well…then there’s this thing:

A. Harpers Bazaar is stupid. B. Wendy – good luck on that whole Period Equity thing. It will be about as effective as the 11 hour filibuster touting how good it is to murder babies. Which is to say, both are epically heinous.
And don’t get me started on her gun control schtick.
Therefore, given the fact that much of America REALLY doesn’t like Planned Parenthood or abortion, why would a movie advocating murdering babies be a good idea right now? Hint, it isn’t.
Sandra, do you REALLY know what you are getting yourself into by taking on this role?
Beloved Hollywood star decides to commit career suicide by attacking half the audience… https://t.co/1z6uADXUld

You were warned.
One final note. Wendy’s grandstanding sneaker clad 11 hour filibuster? It momentarily stopped the bill from continuing on. However, in the very next session the bill passed with flying colors.
My prediction? A movie celebrating the murder of babies will be an epic failure at the box office and Sandra Bullock’s career will never be the same.
The only thing surprising here is summed up by Kurt Schlichter’s tweet. I know Sandra Bullock is hardly a friend of Abe. But she’s done a fairly decent job of not being an ugly partisan, thus able to attract viewers from the right. This doesn’t seem a good idea for her career.
Poor Ben Shapiro really isn’t that bright, is he?
Or am I totally missing some biting sarcasm here?
It’s got to be sarcasm. There really needs to be a sarcasm font.
Actors and actresses act; doing so doesn’t equate to endorsing the role they are acting. That’s what they tell us, anyway.
Unless, of course, you cast a White into an Asian role, as happened with Madame Butterfly a few years ago. Or when Kate Bigelow was accused of supporting waterboarding ’cause she included it in Zero Dark Thirty. I guess these type of things are anathema because the role isn’t an approved Progressive Left position.
Oh wait – didn’t Leonard DiCaprio play a sadistic slave-owner in Jango Unchained? He should have been loudly and roundly condemned for that, but he wasn’t – or does the Progressive Left actually support sadistic slave holding? Now I’m confused…
Hard to keep it all straight, what you’re supposed to support and what you’re supposed to condemn, and when. No wonder the Left is starting to eat itself.
The issue isn’t that Sandy is doing this picture. The issue is that movie like this are going to bomb. I mean, there is no one out there who wants to see this movie. It’s like that Valerie Plame movie and that movie about Dan Rather and Marla Maples. or Ruth Bader Ginsberg…Or the one with Barack and Michelle on their 1st date.
This movie will be the third trilogy in the Democratic bomb trilogy. The 1st was Southside (about Barack’s and Michelle’s first date). The 2nd is the “On the Basis of Sex,” the upcoming movie about Ruth Bader Ginsberg. The third is going to be this Sandy Bullock movie…My God, no wonder Hollywood is tanking. I mean, who is seriously going to waste 6 hours of their lives on these movies? I betcha even die hard Democrats are not going to see these movies. They are making movies that no one is too see! It’s like Ishtar, The Pirate Movie, Heaven’s Gate, and that movie Sandy made with Bradley Cooper all rolled up into one.
Agreed. Hollywood …with all the slime that is rising to the surface is showing that they are still incredibly tone-deaf when it comes to ‘reading’ their audience.
“On the Basis of Sex,” the upcoming movie about Ruth Bader Ginsberg
WTF?!? o.O!
*shudder*
(Yes, I can guess what it’s actually about. But that phrase is just… scary.)
Oscar bait.
It will do tens of dollars at the box office….
Let her speak?!?
She wouldn’t shut the f* up!!!
(Technically, not shutting the f* up is what made her famous. While wearing those running shoes. But, mostly, the not shutting the f* up.)
