I think it’s time Modern Entertainment got a cunting.
I’ve seen a lot of properties in film and television that I grew up with vandalised by lunatics through social media and within the industry.
What we see is not just political pandering to a tiny audience of terminally miserable puritans who don’t even watch these programmes, but a general plummeting of quality in the art of film making and screenwriting. Every film is now made without much thought to telling an engaging story and creating memorable characters. The standard seems to follow brainless, crude Michael Bay CGI vapidity, or the emptiness of the ‘Mystery box’ approach of J.J. Abrams and his acolytes such as Damon Lindelof and Alex Kurtzman.
None of these worthless hack cunts can write anything worth a damn, all would benefit from a basic book on screenwriting or story structure and all seem to believe snappy, pop-savvy dialogue is a substitute for character development.
I believe the nadir was reached by the baffling and rushed conclusion to ‘Game of Thrones’, as well the execrable ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, but we can see this general disregard for the material and audiences across the board, with unanimously ‘progressive’ journalists, writers and producers calling the critics of this garbage ‘toxic’ as if the criticism is based on some prejudice towards race or gender. It’s a disgusting ad hominem and straw man which only serves to alienate the audience further and seems to be occurring on all fronts: film, TV, games and the comics industry. To compound the problem, any legitimate criticism results in febrile mob activism through social media, and eventual bans over nothing, with Twitter and Facebook using cowardly and dishonest criteria to stop any opinions the corporate media find ‘problematic’ from gaining wide audiences. It’s easier to simply blanket label any legitimate criticism of poor products as ‘bigotry’ and double down rather than confront the points raised. These pathetic platforms reinforce infantile emotional thinking and narcissistic virtue signalling as the acceptable standard of discussion. They are effectively children’s sites.
Isn’t it strange that what was once derided as fan fiction has now turned into a parallel of the corporate media, producing fan-funded, fan-made films using professional actors, as well as downloadable audio dramas and web comics?
Expect this to continue and accelerate as Hollywood and other outlets of entertainment continue to ignore and demonise their own audiences for daring to criticise their output.

Modern “comedy” is just not funny. All it is, is cunts moaning about Brexit saying people who voted leave were ” swivelled eyed loons”. I have watched some of the shows and my god dire is the best you can say about them.
25
We will never see the likes of Deliverance, Godfather, Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Deer Hunter, Get Carter etc (I am sure there will be many favourites out there) while film is obsessed with Super fucking Heroes, CGI shite, pisspoor remakes, Gender and race being mis-inserted and ridiculous but virtuous notions such as a ‘technologically advanced’ African civilisation. Add in wet fucking rom coms and there you have the film industry.
25
Not as many great films about now,
Withnail &I and young Frankenstein being 2 of my personal favourites!
But shane meadows is good,
‘This is England’ was ace, as is the brilliant ‘deadmans shoes’ which id reccomend anyone to watch.

Oh an ‘kes’!

‘what you done wi it it Jud?’ ‘It’s in t’bin’.

‘What her bringin’ her father down for?’
‘He don’t do nowt’
‘How d’yer mean?’
‘Last time, he got stick an all’
Did you ever get the stick Miserable? I once got four. Fucking hurt.
You know the actually caned them unknowingly in that scene. The young kid who gets it? He was only delivering a message.
Brilliant film.

‘Oh whatve we here? A regular little tobaccanist! ‘Poor little kid.

Oh and ‘hateful eights a cracking western! As is the revenant.

Well cunted CP.
Thank fuck I have a library heaving with unwatched DVDs and DVD boxed sets – sublime entertainment dating from the 1930s to the 1990s.
Should be enough to see me into the black wheelie bin.
14
Yes well cunted CP.
I’m with you on this, Ruff. I can’t stomach most of the Hollywood style output these days. Utterly vacuous superhero or animated stuff, and an obsession with ramming home pc driven agendas. TV’s going the same way, with the likes of ‘Dr Who’ being flushed down the toilet by BBCunt libtards.
Most of my watching these days comprises of ‘golden age’ films with the likes of Betty Davis, Cary Grant, Ronald Colman and Barbara Stanwyck, real and proper fucking stars, not the least like today’s tarts. Then there’s ‘golden age’ telly too, ‘I Claudius’, ‘Tinker Tailor’, ‘Fawlty Towers’, etc. Magic.
PS if any cunter knows where I can get a DVD copy of the classic ‘Roads to Freedom’, PLEASE let me know!!
8
Never saw it Ron. Would very much like to after reading the article below.
https://emeraldlamp.blogspot.com/2015/02/why-has-bbc-buried-roads-to-freedom_18.html
Fucking ABBC cunts.
4
Thank you RTC. Iād never heard of this series until now and indeed it looks to be a million times more original than modern day pap.
The presence of Michael Bryant alone guarantees quality. He once played a haunting cameo in Colditz (itself a fine and rarely seen series). In trying to get repatriated by pretending to have a mental breakdown; he induced one on himself for real. Superb.
6
I remember that Colditz episode – frighteningly moving; I seem to remember his wife sending a letter to the chief Brit in the camp saying that the bloke had gone off his rocker, and was “in the bin.” Also had Bernard Hepton, and Anthony Valentine, with those watery, piercing, scary eyes, who made a perfect Nazi. Think Bryant was in The Ruling Class, too, with Arthur Lowe as a commie butler.
1
Yep. Spot on Ron.
I think you might find Talking Pictures TV worth a look. The odd lost masterpiece- often British – pops up.
I sometimes browse the TV supplement film pages; notice something decent – invariably in B&W – get interested…….. and then the synopsis tells me its a fucking pisspoor remake shoving some RightOn/ MeToo agenda. (Iām guessing as I wonāt even watch it)
But itās not just films.
Music-Cowell cunt screechingly lacking in originality ditto rap and itās derivatives.
TV. Endless fucking variations with a copper as the lead role. None of them remotely as good as Dixon or even Softly yet alone The Sweeney
Comedy- oh fuck give me a break
Politics- has there ever been such a bunch of thick as shit/ Etonian/ career politicians ?
I dug out my I Claudius DVD recently. All filmed in the studio; no special effects; the craft was evident in the scriptwriting and acting. And what a superlative cast. Tinker Tailor ditto. GF Newmanās Law & Order-spellbinding and utterly believable.
And from America I give you Washington Behind Closed Doors and the incomparable Twin Peaks Series 1&2.
6
Good comments guys. All I can say if you ever get the chance to watch ‘The Roads to Freedom’ then grasp it with both hands.
The Beeb won’t show it, and won’t say why. I wrote asking for an explanation, and got fuck all by way of a response. Questions have even been asked in the House about the lack of response on the subject by a publicly funded broadcaster, and still no response. I really don’t know who the cunts at the BBC think they are.
5
The tapes clearly still existed as of 2012 (more than can be said for a few classic BBC programmes from the 60s to the 80s):https://www.bfi.org.uk/sites/bfi.org.uk/files/downloads/bfi-press-release-a-complete-screening-of-the-roads-to-freedom-at-bfi-southbank-2012-04-30.pdf
I wonder if the BFI might be willing to release it on DVD?
1
One TV series that stands out for me and has never been repeated since it was first shown in 1977/8, it scares the crap out of me and is a much watch.
It’s called 1990 starring Edward Woodward. There were 2 series totalling 16 episodes. Based on two books written by Wilfred Greatorex, who dubbed it 1984 plus 6, the UK has become a hideous police state, economically bankrupt, mass surveillance enforced by the Home Office PCD Public Control Department
ASH or Authorised Systematic Harassment is the order of the day, rationing, ARCs Adult Rehabilitation Centres for dissenters etc.
1990 is a MUST WATCH, both series are available on DVD and on YouTube, the first episode Creed of Slaves is here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KayCsPZF1fY

Just watched Micky Flanagan. Now that is one funny cunt!
Is there a funny comedienne?
Never seen one.
6
Flanagan is one of the few funny comedians working today and happens to be a white working class bloke.
4
The inserting of token ethnic and female characters in ‘positive’ roles, especially in period dramas and films, (yes, ‘films’, not fucking ‘movies’), grip my shit. It’s not true to life no matter what the cunts making it would like to think.
9
I suspect it won’t be long before we see a ‘daring’ and ‘progressive’ bit of casting with regard to historical figures in dramas, such as Idris fucking Elba as Henry VIII.
The way things are going, we’re probably due Tilda Swinton as an androgynous Robin Hood soon, with Portia de Rossi as a lesbian Maid Marion, and Eddy Izzard looking very fetching in bodice and green tights as a cross dressing Little John. Oprah Winfrey would make a good Sheriff of Nottingham.
8
This has already started happening Ron, drives me nuts,
Especially if meant to be historical or period piece.
Ps saw little John’s grave other week in Derbyshire.
3
Afternoon Miserable. Yeah, cast a white bloke as ‘Othello’ though these days, and watch the shit hit the fan. Cunts.
6
Yes the dummy would come out if it was a biopic of nelson Mandela played by Brian Glover.
7
The BBC cunts have shoe-horned a few token minorities in their new Jane Austen period drama. Because the country was a wonderfully diverse place when Jane Austin was kicking around… The cunts just can’t leave it alone. I shall look forward to not watching it.
9
Ahem, ITV production…
Different cheeks of the same arse, anyway.
1
Hahaha ha. Brian Glover. Best riposte of the week!!!
3
Absolutely, everything is tinged with a libtard message! Somebody even wants Spiderman to be portrayed as gay.
In the meantime I turn to Allo! Allo!
5
Entertainment for me was The Thing, Assault on Precinct 13, Night of the Living Dead, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Night of the Hunter, The Driver, Frankenstein, Alien, Silent Running, Cape Fear, Dirty Harry, Death Wish, Halloween, Escape From New York, Mad Max, Brazil, The Exorcist.
None of this twaddle glossing the screens now, I’ve not been to the pictures in years.
11
You have excellent cinematic taste.
3
I rarely watch anything made after 1999. Although tokenism and PCness was creeping in it’s absolutely exploded in the last 20 years at the expense of anything daring or interesting. Modern filmmaking is simply garbage, it’s no better than TV. Compare the Deer Hunter to the shite churned out by the studio hacks of today, proper cinema doesn’t actually exist anymore.
14
I always thought The Deer Hunter was fucking awful, a 3 hour long melodrama with a wedding scene lasting 51 minutes, I’ve been to actual weddings that haven’t lasted that long, I just remember sitting there hoping the film would end soon. I actually wanted to inflict damage to the person who recommended that turgid nonsense to me.
The film felt an hour longer than the brilliant submarine film Das Boot yet The Deer Hunter is actually 20 minutes shorter.
12
My advice – watch it on the big screen if you get the chance.
Some movies just can’t be enjoyed at home, there’s too many distractions.
You have to remember films made before the 80’s were only intended to be seen in theatres.
2
Das Boot TV Series……now youāre talking quality with a capital Q.
5
I have to agree, it’s one of the most overrated films of all time.
1
Have they not learned that these shite PC remakes of classic movies isn’t fulfilling the main objective of making movies in the first place-to earn millions. That completely SHITE all-female GhostBusters flop should have told them that yes,they might please a few libturds, feminazis,poofs,lezzas, peacefuls and spear chuckers,but it certainly won’t please the bank manager.
What next,an all-female remake of “Ghandi”??
9
Afternoon Beemack.
Must admit I’d love it if some cunt tried to do an all wimmin ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. Would probably cast Tilda Swinton in the title role for that as well. All the Arabs would be played by whites, and all the whites by ethnics; ‘progressive’, you know. Roles of course for Dame Helen, Carey Mulligan, Meryl Squeak, Angelina Jolly, Jodie Foster and a host of other up their own arse luvvies. The part of every camel would be played by Christina ‘Huge Humps’ Hendricks.
6
Afternoon Ron.
You’ve hit the nail on the head there all right mate!
I was going to suggest an all-female remake of Brokeback Mountain, but what are the chances that my cast suggestions (Kate Upton, Jessica Alba,Megan Fox) are ditched in favour of sweaty lardbuckets such as Rebel Wilson, Melissa McCarthy and Rosie O’Donnell??
A modern day remake of “The Jolson Story” could also be interesting….
4
It would indeed, Beemack. I’ve often wondered how they might make ‘The Wacko Jacko Story’. Would you start out with a white guy blacked up, or would you have a black guy who starts to get dusted with chalk?
Perhaps they might even get a wimmin in for that role as well; I always thought Jacko had a touch of the effeminate about him.
6
Indeed, Ron…They’d probably base it on Jacko but,after the shit storm following Leaving Neverland, they might want to leave the words “Michael” and “Jackson” out completely.
So a movie with “new characters”it is,the lead character being a black fella who has loads of operations and ends up a skinny white woman.
Working title:- “Heee-sheee!!!”
1
The mock-up poster for a female brokeback remake starring Margot Robbie and Emma Watson would get me in the cinema.
2
I would love to see a jaunty pub style musical of Ghandi as suggested by Smith and Jones
4
Just been entertained by some cunt on the radio telling us that this cunt who murdered this copper was arrested in a ācaravan park.ā šššš¤£š
Gyppo……….guilty as charged!

3 policeman murdered or attempted murdered in a week.
1 by a Mohammed
1 by a Hussain
1 by a Pikey.
Diversity is our strength

In more ārecentā times, I absolutely love Goodfellas and pulp fiction. So many memorable lines and brilliant characters.
Do you know why I donāt watch Marvel films?
Because watching Marvel films isnāt my fucking business!!!
Shit knee grow, thatās all Iāve got to say.
4
Goodfellas is a good one but I can’t stand anything by that twat Tarantino with his endless homages to old films – yes Quentin we get it you love films though I’d assume any serious film maker is an anorak on old films but they’ve got the imagination to the stage where they don’t need to ape some cheap exploitation flick from the 70’s – and this is a man so egotistical he casts himself in his own films despite having no acting ability.
5
I’d love a Tarantino remake of The Sound Of Music (I had to sit through it with a gay vicar once, to be polite – don’t ask !);
Von Crapp family out picnicing, Brownshirts on grenade practice come round the corner…
1
I’d love to see “The George Formby Story”, starring Samuel L. Jackson in the title roll…
“Turned out nice again,motherfuckers”.

Tourette’s Action UK has asked for an apology from Olaf Falafel for his ‘broccoli and cauliflower’ joke that won the funniest joke award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
They said it was very offensive, and added, “He should be a bit more sensitive, the fucking thick, bald, Swedish cunt
16
The comedians at the Edinburgh Fringe are a bunch of Snowflake Soy Boy Cuckolds.
The jokes are about as funny as whatās in a Christmas Cracker.
Is this the best they can come up with ?
Bernard Manning must be turning in his grave.
Not one single Dar key or Spacca gag.
12
Ken Goodwin, charlie williams, colin crompton, and of course ‘our Bernard’
These blokes were working class and made me laugh hard,
Nowadays its all pc university types,
Funny as finding a lump on your jacobs.
4
What I think is more worrying are nepotistic, career driven, unfunny, bland “Entertainers”, who are either good looking cunts who know nothing about suffering (like true comedians do), or are too cowardly to tell funny jokes, at the risk of upsetting the gravy train. This leads to them living a Faustian existence, where they are rich and famous, but are universally despised and unable to be taken seriously, but they don’t care because money is all they want. I hope Satan comes to collect soon.
6
Good cunting.
Most of Hollywood’s recent output has been nothing more than the uninspired basic re-telling of Old Testament stories, produced by Old Testament followers – when they’re not involved in unimaginative remakes, that is.
Fuck all of any consequence has come out of California for decades.
5
I’d say the porn industry has produced more quality entertainment than the major studios.
9
Porn certainly had the greater output than the mainstream, but it’s nothing that can’t be created for various ‘specialist’ internet sites with an iPhone these days.
The major porno makers have all but disappeared it seems.
1
New Bond film to be called No Time To Die.
Wowie-zowie, who would have thunk it?
Get fucked.
6
Dunno about you Ruff, but I reckon that Bond’s been a fucking dead duck for years now. Now comes the pc lunacy of a black female Bond, or should I say 007, probably before a final inglorious end. At least Wonder Woman’s stayed fucking woman (and what a woman) so far. Can’t be long before they get a black tranny in though. Batman will be wearing a fucking basque next and calling the Joker ‘ducky’, while being in some sort of dodgy relationship with ‘Boy Wonder’ Robin down in the Bat Cave.
8
Donāt think Iāve watched a Bond film since Moonraker… whenever that was.
If women want a piece of the action they should devise their own characters and make it on their own merits, not hijack long established parts written as men and made famous by male actors. Thereās a reason why there hasnāt been a Wonder Man or a Mr Marple: it would be crap, and an insult to the original creations.
Social engineering cunts.
7
Yeh, no cunt could ever have legs and an arse like Gal Gadot. God is indeed bountiful.

Nice……..

Lynda Carter is the definitive Wonder Woman…

I liked Casino Royale and QOS, but those are exceptions in 30 years of increasingly dire output.

Best Bond Girl arse?
Jill St John, without a doubt….

New Bond film I’ll be giving a swerve,
Not a fan of the character,
More a ‘dirty Harry ‘ fan.
“YOUR OUTA LINE CALLAGHAN!!!
3
Harry Callahan, one of the greatest anti-heroes ever.
Perish the thought Miserable, but they’re bound to get around to a reboot sometime. What an epic pc cuntfest that could turn out to be.
‘Dirty Harriet’, starring Halle Berry.
5
Please dont Ron, that would genuinely break my little black heart.
3
Only post 1999 things I watch are Life On Mars, Ashes To Ashes, League of Gentlemen, and Endeavour… I fucking hate all that Fleabag and Lezzing Eve shite… And Doctor Who was last half decent with Christopher Eccleston…
Same with music… There are no bands from now that I like or listen to… The 1975? Shit name, shit band… And I’d rather have crabs than listen to Ed Sheercunt or Titless Tay Tay…
Mind you, I might give Greta Mongberg’s upcoming single a listen, just to take the piss..
3
Life on mars fuckin ace!
Loads filmed round here, good soundtrack as well.
3
And league of gentlemens film in Hadfield!
Locals did roaring trade in unlicensed merchandise, papa lazarou mugs etc

I’ve just read that the Beeb’s commissioned a LGBT Jane Austen adaptation, ‘Gay Pride and Prejudice’.
Better get my coat…
1
If Saint Greta does make a record (with those The 1975 cunts), I wonder if it will be a cover version? Maybe something like:
Lick Through Any Window (The Hollies)
What Do You Want To Make Cross Eyes At Me For? (Emile Ford)
Spazzish Eyes (Al Martino/Engelbert Cuntberdinck)
Someone’s Licking At You (Boomtown Twats)
Cosmic Spazz (Wishbone Ash)

The Air that I Heave (Simply Dead)

How about
Earth Mong (Wacko Jacko)
Licky Girl (Joni Mitchell)
Get Licky (Mark Knopfler)
Downs Downs (Status Quo)
I Should Be So Licky (Kylie)

I miss classics like Love Thy Neighbour’ , ‘Til Death Do Us Part, ‘It Ain’t Half Hot Mum’, Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson summertime specials. All good wholesome family fun really.
