We spent a lot of time focusing on the fact that Hollywood constantly churns out woke propaganda pieces disguised as cinema.

And that's, of course, true.

And a large part of the reason why audiences are losing interest in movies.

This past Thanksgiving box office tally, a time when theaters typically rake in massive amounts of money, saw the weakest performance in over 25 years.

This, in spite of the fact, that there, or maybe because of the fact, there were multiple sequels to blockbuster franchise films showing.

There was a new Steven Spielberg movie.

There was a Disney cartoon about a gay teenage boy and a disabled dog.

All these things were in theater, and nobody went.

Like I said, wokeness is certainly part of the problem here, but not the whole problem.

Because the other issue is that so many movies are boring and dull and simply not anything to get excited about.

And it seems that the people involved in making these cinematic versions of bland, stale gram crackers are aware at some level of how boring and

uninteresting it all is. And that's why they have to go to increasingly desperate lengths to

pretend that their films are somehow revolutionary and provocative, even as they serve up the same

under-seasoned dish that we've had a million times before. And I think that's part of what was happening

this week when Jennifer Lawrence, now somewhat infamously sat down for an interview with Variety,

and ended up claiming a title for herself that people older than 10 years old might find

surprising, as it doesn't quite gel with our memories.

Lawrence declared that she is the first actress to have ever starred in a Hollywood action film.

Now, Jennifer Lawrence is 32, okay? She's not in her 70s or 80s, which she would have to be in order for that claim to have any chance of legitimacy. But let's watch the clip first.

I remember when I was doing Hunger Games,

nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie

because it wouldn't work.
