bring out your movie collection, it needs to be edited / erased. year zero approaches.

[think positive]

so bloody ridiculous.

I've posted before comparing this dysfunctional, dying society to ancient Byzantium. Now we are up to the iconoclast stage. (Look it up. Same script as today, only more than a thousand years ago.)

Getting seriously ridiculous now! One of my favourite episodes it's hilarious Glad we have the DVDs tucked away!

Surely the whole series has to go now - "he's from Barcelona" must be racist!

Wonder what's next

The world has gone mad in trying to demonstrate how "woke" they are

I find the whole thing pathetic.

Once society reaches the point that it has it's head firmly lodged in it's own arse, it's just a matter of time.

I demand all copies of The Castle be destroyed and this show never to be shown again because of its racist overtones.

Apart from Cleese not being comparable to Newton, Socrates & Caravaggio, they are irrelevant anyway, because Caravaggio didn't film a movie of himself murdering someone, etc. (I don't know if Socrates wrote in praise of slavery -- no talk of Socrates here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/slavery/eth ... rs_1.shtml .)

I’m really in shock over this shit, and wishing I had a copy of Gone with the wind! Not something I’d watch often but still! Doing a mental check making sure I have a copy of all my favourites! Die hard 3, I guess when Bruce Willis calls a black man a racist (he was!) will be gone!

How about those bad pizza shows, vaguely remember I show with w*g in the title, is that out too? Every war movie ever made, bye bye, I mean if the goose step in a comedy upsets people, you can can a shit load of docos too.

How do you learn from something if you simply erase history? I guess much as the One country apparently did in their history books in school, and it’s not Germany. Or the US.

Stu I hope you have a copy of Django Unchained

[stui magpie]

It's not just the streaming companies, there's others keen to appear woke atm, I think the whole thing is fkn ridiculous.

And yeah TP, I'm hanging onto my copy of Django unchained, might have to check around for a copy of Tropic Thunder too.

[Wokko]

I think I've got a copy of Gone with the Wind somewhere, better hang onto it.

As for streaming services not being woke, Netflix is one of the wokest companies out there. Hence a whole lot of memes like this:

[Presti35]

What about The Club?

It has anti-Tasmanian tones throughout the film.

[luvdids]

Guess we won't be seeing Love Thy Neighbour anytime soon

My God people would have a field day with that one now, honky tonk, nig nog, whitey, all used regularly.

Seems the best place to put this

Penny Lane signs defaced in Liverpool over slavery claims

Road signs on Penny Lane in Liverpool have been defaced over claims they are linked to slave merchant James Penny.
The markers had the word Penny blacked out and the word racist written above them on Thursday night.

The city's International Slavery Museum said it was not certain whether the street, which was immortalised in a song by The Beatles in 1967, was named after the 18th Century slave merchant.
A spokeswoman said "more research is needed" to clarify the name's origin.

I always thought it was so named because there was a bridge at the end that cost a penny to cross - like the Ha'penny (Liffey) Bridge in Dublin?

Either way what do they hope to achieve with actions such as these
