In 2019 the Hollywood Reporter gathered together seven Hollywood executives regarded as being among the most powerful in the business for a roundtable discussion, which is pictured here (click to enlarge). From the left, they are Scott Stuber, head of original films for Netflix; then-Disney Co-Chair Alan Horn; Tom Rothman, “Chairperson” of Sony Pictures; Donna Langley, Chairwoman of Universal; the moderator; then-Warner Bros. Chairman Toby Emmerich; then-Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos; and Amazon Studio Chief Jennifer Salke. All of the executives are Jews except for Langley, although she attends events at the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and Gianopulos, who is Greek Orthodox, although he has been “honored” by the Center. Horn, Emmerich, and Gianopulos have since all been replaced by other Jews.

In 1996, while hosting the “Weekend Update” segment on Saturday Night Live, Norm Macdonald made the following comment:

“Earlier this week, actor Marlon Brando met with Jewish leaders to apologize for comments he made on Larry King Live — among them, that ‘Hollywood is run by Jews.’ The Jewish leaders accepted the actor’s apology and announced that Brando is now free to work again.”

Macdonald later explained that this was one of his all-time favorite “jokes” because all he did was report exactly what happened. What actually happened was funny enough without the need for any extra setup or embellished punchline. (more…)

If one day I were to find myself in the improbable situation of being so well-heeled and immune to social ostracism that I convinced a Hollywood studio to produce a romantic comedy that was sympathetic to the KKK, you would find it incredibly undignified if I were to whine that no black people showed up in theaters to see it.

But that’s precisely how Billy Eichner is reacting to the fact that his new homo-positive romantic comedy Bros tanked at the box office during its debut last weekend. (more…)

Spoilers follow.

This White Boy Summer was blessed by a temporary return to the tradition of great movies with the release of Top Gun: Maverick. In an otherwise culturally drab era, Maverick is well named, as it is itself a maverick that bucks current trends. We find in this revival of the Top Gun franchise not another uninspired Hollywood cash grab, but a revival of our race’s traditionalism and Faustian spirit. Additionally, Maverick accidentally ends up revealing much about where the United States military is headed. (more…)

“A splendid little war” was how Secretary of State John Hay described the Spanish-American War of 1898. Since Hay had served in Abraham Lincoln’s administration, he had had a lot of experience with more jaundiced wars like the one in the 1860s. The Spanish-American War was little, and its splendor depended upon where you were when it occurred. In DC’s clubrooms and in Congress, it was quite alluring, and was to most of the country. But if you were on the front line taking rounds from Spanish Mausers or suffering agony from malaria or dysentery — which a good part of the army was — it was not so splendid. (more…)

It’s Gay Pride Month, and I’m casting about for ways to celebrate this awesome event. Even as early as three years ago, I observed shampoo and mouthwash coming out of the closet at Target stores. Yes, really! And now that Burger King Whoppers are turning fruity, that really got my attention. Fast food without sociopolitical messages is way too twentieth century, after all; it’s the Current Year! Fine, I’ll get with the times already! What better way to commemorate the joys of same-sex attraction than with a movie review? (more…)

Extremity = “the furthest point or limit of something.”

I watched the suspense-thriller movie, Extremities, for the first time in the late 1990s. It was one of those rare films that really grabbed me and remained stuck in my memory. Not being sure why that was, I recently watched it again to try to understand its impact. Having done so, the title now has a special significance for me. (more…)

I just binge-watched the new series Peacemaker, a continuation of the character from 2021’s The Suicide Squad. I had heard it described as good, with a few woke moments. What I saw was one of the most anti-white Leftist shows that I had seen in a while. In contradistinction, the show I had seen prior to this was Arcane. The two programs share similar elements: a lesbian relationship between main characters, a white enemy, “badass” females, prominent diversity, interracialism, discussions of clueless privilege, and so on.

Guillaume Durocher
The Ancient Ethnostate: Biopolitical Thought in Classical Greece
Self-published, 2021

It almost goes without saying that any book written today by someone from the Dissident Right on the subject of Classical Greece will be more accurate to the spirit of antiquity and more honest about the racial realities that underlie it than anything that could be published in contemporary academia. This book gives a good survey of the history, culture, and ideas of key writers of various sorts in Ancient Greece. (more…)

Four years ago I reread Gone with the Wind (1936), the bestselling novel about the Civil War and Reconstruction South.

I hadn’t intended to, but I did. I’d loathed it in my teens, and deeply regretted the time I’d wasted reading the 1,000-plus page tome — Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, and famous four-hour motion picture adaptation (which I also disliked) notwithstanding.

This strong aversion had nothing to do with race, which was not on my radar screen, or ideology, or North versus South, or slavery, or anything of that nature. (more…)

There are many reasons to like Twin Peaks. Personally, I like the cozy aesthetic, the gentle color palette and soundtrack, and the mild way in which the first season is paced. It is a good show to drift off to sleep to, and goes great with a soft bed and someone special to snuggle up to. To view it in the daytime seems obscene to me.

I was late to start watching the show; I believe I started in January of 2021. It wasn’t “the greatest show ever,” as others hyped it to me. (more…)

“You know, I wake up to everything I know either getting sold, or wrecked, or being taken over by people that I don’t like. And they don’t like me. And you know what’s left of all that? The Jets.” — Riff

I finally got around to seeing Steven Spielberg’s new remake of West Side Story, or as I like to call it, Race Traitors in Love.

I must say that despite it being explicitly anti-racist — and by extension implicitly anti-white and Jewish — to the core, I have always had something of a soft spot for West Side Story. (more…)

In a recent essay about playwright Tennessee Williams and Greek-American director Elia Kazan’s flagrantly anti-Southern motion picture Baby Doll (1956), I observed in passing that blacks are present as furniture, but there is no major subplot involving them. (more…)
