Gotta love the buzzwords these leftists keep using that I don’t think they know what they are saying. Just like the “from the river to the sea” protestors, when asked why they are doing it they never have a clue. When asked what river and what sea, they smile and look for help from their friends. This response from Lefty Geek is likened to those kiddies on college campuses, only because they wanted their 2 seconds of fame on tiktok.

It’s insane, but boy does the cast sell it. Their 100 % earnestness makes it lots of fun, though completely ridiculous. If this cast doesnt’ do the same, then that’s very sad.

I was told that it was pretty good. The wife, and I were fans of the original move, “Twister” so we went to see it. We were disappointed by the last third of the movie. This review does have spoilers. If you want to avoid them, you can stop reading now since I’ve divulged that the movie was woke to a degree that ruined the film for us.

For everyone who cares to read on, and encounter spoilers, please continue. The first two thirds of the movie were building to something. The main female character was learning how to get over her past. The lead male character was becoming more than a seemingly self-centered adrenaline junky. He was beginning to care for the female lead. They portrayed the male lead as a former bull rider, and meteorology student. He chases tornados for youtube followers, or something to that effect. The land developing bad guy’s reason for employing the antagonist’s character’s efforts was very convoluted. The female lead was a weak character, and the actress had no onscreen spark. She seemed two dimensional. Her character was swaying back, and forth between the horror of her past experience with tornados, and her desire to help people by finding a way to stop tornados. The male lead gets interested in her, and immediately goes from adrenaline junky cowboy manly man to simp in one visit to her single mom’s farm. For the rest of the movie, he is neutered. At the end there is a gigantic tornado that is going to destroy a town. The people are taking shelter in a movie theater. The man and woman are looking out the door at the tornado. He turns his back to her for a second, and she runs out to his truck, drives into the tornado. He stands in the door yelling after her. The other people try telling him to help them with the people in the theater to move them to the back. He is frozen in shock for a moment then goes to help them while boss girl drives into the center of the tornado, and uses her plan to turn it off. It works. She saves everyone just in the nick of time before her love interest, and friends are sucked up into the tornado.

It would have made so much more sense, if at the moment they were at the door looking at the tornado, he turns to her and says, “This is it! Your plan is the only way we can save these people. We have to do it.” She looks shaken, and frightened, but his bravery helps her be brave. She looks at him, and nods. They both run for the truck, and kill the tornado together, while helping eachother, and saving all the people. The end could have been more romantic as well. We were very disappointed in the feminism that corrupted this movie.

The other offense was the implication of climate change being the problem even though it wasn’t directly, specifically cited. There wasn’t any nudity. There was some profanity. The acting was meh. They guy who played the lead needs some masculine lead character rolls where he can be the toxic avenger we are all waiting for. He did a good job in, “Maverick.” We were hoping for more with this movie.

Last summer, bro flake sh*t their pants over the female lead in the latest indy jones movie because she was ‘woke.’ In Twisters, the female lead is cut from the same cloth. I mean, you have people in the comments section here who can’t agree on what’s woke and what isn’t. The only reason incels aren’t sh*tting their pants over it is that it made so much money so quickly, then knew their bumper sticker slogan ‘go woke, go broke’ would be laughably wrong.

I guess Hollywood is afraid now of going too white or something. Outside of the two leads, all the storm chasers seem to be minorities. It just felt weird to me.

1. A guy chasing a woman for no apparent reason other than the plot needs him to. Example: She treats him poorly by taking the pizza he gives her then shuts the door in his face. The guy just continues to pursue her why?
Acting like a witch for no reason is not a charming characteristic that makes guys coming back for more, and if it was, than we should stop promoting it as a society. Not realistic at all..
2. They made the Female Main Character the Hero. Gone are the days of men being able to be men. Gone are the heroes and role models for little boys, learning to save and protect the most vulnerable in our society; women and children. Now women are the heroes and men are turned from Alpha Males to little Betas. Their masculinity being drained from them before your eyes. The Male character started off strong and masculine, but then he was chasing a girl, who treated him horribly, for no reason, and he chased her, for no reason, other than the plot needed him to. Then throughout the remainder of the movie you watched as all masculinity was slowly drained from him to allow the Main Female Character to become the Hero.

I am making this long post to complement you and your site for adding the ability for the audience to rate movies based on our perceived wokeness of the film. But let me start from the beginning.

I have made multiple very critical posts on this site regarding movies that this site has deemed “worth it” but were also “partially woke” which in my personal opinion drives in the face of “worth it OR woke” which implies they are mutually exclusive. I had also mentioned that the website notwokeshows allows the audience to submit proof of wokeness and then they list it as woke with the reasons for wokeness below. Which allows a viewer to decide if they agree or not.

However, we live in the United States of America where we all have the right to free speech and the right to have different opinions. In light of the recent attempted assassination of Trump last Saturday this could not be more important.

So by adding the ability of the audience to rank the wokeness of the film you allow this site to become a healthy discussion of a film’s wokeness were we are not always going to agree. But the people now have a voice. So bravo on adding that feature.

I would suggest the following as an improvement to this site. Now that readers can rank a movie based on wokeness it would be nice to improve the “WOKE ELEMENTS” portion at the end of every review. I would suggest dividing it into two portions. The first would be your list of woke elements. And the second would be a list of woke elements that the viewing public could add. I think all that would be required would be if someone mentioned a woke element that you “missed” or disagreed with then you can add it at the bottom under a section “woke elements by viewers” or something like that.

Anyway, I actually hope you attract more advertising revenue or find a way to increase your profit from this site without having to have it closed off to membership. But I do not know if that was done just to make money or to protect this site from leftists in the same way Townhall and Redstate now require membership to post.

Keep up the good work.

The Original John Doe

“Wry” smile. Rye is a type of bread.
