Hollyweird Apologizes For ‘Silence Of The Lambs’

Classic movies resonate because they reflect what we understand in our guts to be true. Silence of the Lambs featured Buffalo Bill, a transgender serial killer who skinned women so he could wear their skin.

Driven by the liberal establishment’s promotion of LGBTism, the rapidly expanding Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors has confirmed the movie’s underlying insight. Yet now Hollyweird apologizes for it.
Via Hollywood Reporter:
Silence of the Lambs surprised the industry as an Oscar-winning, generation-defining smash. But over the years, the characterization of Buffalo Bill (whose sexual orientation is not explicitly stated) has been viewed as gender nonconforming and identifying as trans. For his part, Ted Levine — having played the character who is also known as Jame Gumb — has conflicting feelings about the movie, despite its success. …
Levine did not have concerns while making the movie but has developed a fuller understanding of the trans experience in the ensuing decades. “[It’s] just over time and having gotten aware and worked with trans folks, and understanding a bit more about the culture and the reality of the meaning of gender,” says the actor… “It’s unfortunate that the film vilified that, and it’s f[*]cking wrong.”

They never should have cast Buffalo Bill in a bad light. Transphobia is thoughtcrime. It is “f*cking wrong.”

Silence of the Lambs came out 35 years ago this month.
It became the year’s fifth-highest-grossing title, collecting $272 million globally ($659 million today), and was just the third feature in history to win the “big five” Oscars: best picture, director, actor, actress and screenplay.
But you couldn’t make Silence of the Lambs today. It rings too true.

“I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Robert Duvall, the Oscar-winning actor of matchless versatility and dedication whose classic roles included the intrepid consigliere of the first two “Godfather” movies and the over-the-hill country music singer in “Tender Mercies,” has died at age 95.
Duvall died “peacefully” at his home Sunday in Middleburg, Virginia, according to an announcement from a statement by his wife, Luciana Duvall.

This is a longer video but I think you will enjoy it. No matter what you've thought of Rubio before, he has became a major asset for Trump and the MAGA agenda.

Not political ... but hilarious.

This asswipe used the word "Sacred" while talking about the satanic spot where sexual perversion was first celebrated.

I guess married Democrat women are really stupid ... Conservative women don't seem to have these problems.

Rearranging The House

We are supposed to be getting the wife's recliner delivered this morning so the ball and chain is running me ragged moving this here, and that over there and get this out of the room, blah, blah, blah ...

Anyway, posting will resume when the madness recedes.

Bloom County

Someone, who doesn't get credit because they are 'anonymous', made a comment that Bloom County ranked high in the best cartoon strips category. My reply was that Bloom County was more of a political cartoon than just a cartoon to enjoy for the commentary. I also think that Bloom County started leaning way too much to the left and it became unbearable.

But this cartoon, imo, ranks #1 of all Bloom County cartoons.

UPDATE: Weather Watch - North Florida

I posted earlier that the Daytona 500 start time had been moved up due to the threat of inclement weather and now that I'm trying to watch the race, the weather in north Florida in my area is under severe weather warnings. Tornado warnings have been posted for 6 or 7 Florida counties including mine. I'm not worried about a power loss, I have a whole house generator but I am thinking that I could lose my satellite signal.

We'll see.

Update: Passing right under us now and a little more intense.
