WARNER Brothers spent $100m making the first super hero movie featuring a transgendered character, only to decide this week to bin it.
That makes Batgirl the most expensive movie cancellation in movie history.
Batgirl starred Ivory Aquino, a transgendered woman, as Batgirl’s transgendered friend.
The film received huge publicity during production with LBGTQ types excited that the movie would feature a trans actor playing a trans character. Woo-hoo!
Test audiences were not as excited.
The New York Post quoted industry sources saying the film’s screen test numbers were “in the 30s” (out of 100). That means it was awful.
Warner Brothers realised they had a turd and decided to flush it rather than spend even more money on marketing only to be humiliated at the box office.
The movie will become a tax write off.
Batgirl, starring Brendon Fraser and Michael Keaton, took seven months to make and cost the studio $100m.
I’m actually amazed audiences didn’t like it. I mean the forced introduction of a lesbian kiss in Lightyear really pulled ‘em in at the box office! (That was obviously sarcasm! Lightyear was a total flop)
Anyway, as they say in Gotham City …
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Woketard!
PRESIDENT Joe Biden is twice vaccinated, twice boosted and, now, twice infected. If only he’d gotten his fifth jab - that’s the one that works!
Oh, and remember this?
Crazy thought. Maybe the President doesn’t have Covid. They got him elected by keeping him in the basement. With midterms coming up, maybe they just want him back in the basement, and this is an easy way to do it. Who knows anything anymore?
VICTORIA’S net debt is $101 billion.
When you’re that far in debt, what the heck, throw a couple of hundred grand at gay pride events. Why not? Rainbow jerseys for everyone!
As Hillary Clinton famously said, “What difference does it make anyway?”
I was concerned the Victorian Labor Government were going to have to spend money on health soon. Thankfully this has come up.
THE year of dying suddenly continues, but is becoming more ridiculous.
Take this story from Egypt headlined …
“University student dies of joy after hearing he’d passed his exams with flying colours”
I’m pretty sure dying of joy is not a thing.
It could be a poetic way of saying myocarditis, I don’t know.
The 22-year-old opened a letter advising he had passed his exams and immediately had a heart attack. He died that same day.
The article details the death of another student who had a heart attack after realising she was in the wrong place for her exams. Her family said she was in good health and are demanding an investigation.
If you google news reports containing the phrase “died suddenly” there do seem rather a lot, I have to say.
In Alberta, Canada, the leading cause of death is now “cause unknown”. Whatever it was that killed you they can’t say, but you’re more likely to die of cause unknown than of cancer or anything else.
We can only hope and pray that Pfizer are working on a vaccine for “Cause unknown” as we speak.
THE Australian Government announced Thursday that they had secured 450,000 doses of the Monkeypox vaccine.
Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly said while all 58 cases in Australia had been detected in gay and bisexual men, the infection can affect anyone.
Good to see or bureaucrats not being discriminatory. The Monkeypox does seem to be however.
DR MONIQUE Ryan, the Independent MP for Kooyong, boasted this week …
My independent colleagues & I have worked collaboratively, constructively & with conviction to secure vital amendments to the climate change Bill, locking in a 43% starting point for emissions reduction. Proud to be doing politics differently.
Indeed.
Costing jobs and smashing the economy, all to have zero impact on the climate, is certainly a different way to do politics.
Congratulations.
THE WORLD Economic Forum famously promise that in the near future “you will own nothing and you will be happy”.
Now it’s: You will eat stale food. You will throw up. You will get food poisoning. And you will be happy.
Of course, it’s going to be pointless sniffing the produce when you’ve lost your sense of smell having contracted Covid so many times due to a weakened immune system bought on by your 31st booster shot.
I laughed when the WEF advertisement showed a man sniffing food with his face covered by a Covid nappy. These people think we are idiots.
Anyway, the WEF has been urging us to eat bugs. Perhaps this is their way of saying that the bugs will come free with the food now.
One thing is for sure, Klaus Schwab will not be sitting in his Swiss château eating anything past the best before date or doing a sniff test.
French Queen Marie-Antoinette may well have said: “Let the peasants eat cake” but planetary emperor Klaus Schwab has gone one better …
“Let the peasants eat stale cake!”
SPEAKING of Klaus and his goons …
Global elites have described the rise of conspiracy theories about global elites seeking to control the world as “worrying and dangerous”.
Well they global elites conspiring to control the world would say that, wouldn’t they.
The United Nations has teamed up with the European Union and Twitter to help people debunk anyone who argues that governments are not unfailingly honest and trustworthy.
Here’s the website link.
The UN wants you to know that events are definitely not being “secretly manipulated behind the scenes by powerful forces with negative intent”.
And if you encounter anybody who thinks the global elite are conspiring to consolidate power and dictate global events, you must take action - but not before you have eaten your fill of bugs for the day.
Ok, I added that last bit about the bugs.
According to UNESCO, “if you are certain you have encountered a conspiracy theory” on the internet then you must “react” immediately by posting a relevant link to a “fact-checking website” in the comments.
So a global elite organisation manipulating the world say they don’t manipulate the world and they will prove it by shutting down people who say they do.
Next thing you know they’ll be waving a pendant in front of our eyes saying, “You’re getting sleepy, very sleepy.”
IF lack of self awareness was a Commonwealth Games sport, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews would win gold, silver and bronze.
Trumpeting his new sexual consent laws, Mr Andrews tweeted:
Suddenly Mr Andrews believes it’s important that people give consent about what goes into their bodies.
Remember that time Mr Andrews mandated jabs and made Victorians sign consent forms on threat of losing their jobs?
Doctors were threatened with de-registration if they providing advice conflicting with the government.
If Mr Andrews believes in consent, what the hell was the last two years about?
This would be hilarious if it wasn’t so disturbing
AND finally, in news that will totally confuse the Labor Party, soaring coal and gas exports have fuelled the largest trade surplus in Australian history.
The Australian reported yesterday that coal exports in June were a little above $14.4bn, up 270 per cent on a year earlier.
And over the 12 months to June, coal exports were $113bn, almost triple the $39bn in 2020-21.
Gas exports more than doubled in the most recent financial year, from $40bn to $88bn.
All of this means the predicted Federal Government deficit could be half the projected $79.8bn.
Labor lefties will be thrilled since the figures mean more money to spend on their lefty social programs.
On the other hand, the bonanza comes from evil coal and gas which they insist are creating a climate catastrophe that will turn planet earth into Dante’s Inferno.
As for the Greens, they want to get rid of coal and gas completely. Fortunately they have a magically money tree at the bottom of the garden, right where they fairies meet them with policy advice.
THANKS for your company this week. I hope you’re enjoying the James Macpherson Report. Please keep sharing it with friends and encouraging them to sign on.
Enjoy your weekend!
You’re a brave man Mr Macpherson, daily braving the lunacy that is enveloping the world by the minute, exposing your mind and soul to the dark recesses of wokedom so we don’t have to.
We salute you.
It’d be easy to get discouraged by all the lies, deceit, hypocrisy and depravity of our failing society. But your Sanity Check, James, goes a long way towards keeping us ‘awake and sober’. Thank you for the work you do.
