Huge omission in 3rd paragraph duly noted. After “pointing out that” the rest should read: Trump recently even named action stars (like Stallone and Mel Gibson) as unofficial “special ambassadors” to promote that agenda.
The only thing that Trump has ever been successful at is entertainment. Everything else he has ever done has failed. So it's no mystery why he'd mess with Paramount. But since our country is now all about entertainment, a sufficient number of our deluded voters put him in charge, perhaps hoping for a Hollywood ending to the story. But everything Trump touches dies. Now he's touched "Rush Hour 4." It will be interesting to see if this movie is any good and how it fits into the culture wars. Will it become a MAGA rite of passage? Will we lefties shun it just because? Or will it just die a quiet death in the back rooms, as Trump becomes more and more of a lame duck and a liability.
Wow Brett Ratner back to direct. So thrilled. I’d rather see Chris Tucker reprise his Role as Smokey in Friday with Ice Cube. I just call it how I see it. Better movie. Better franchise better Role. The people want to see Smokey and Craig. Happy Thanksgiving God Bless. Blessings. X.
Thank you for your work on this. Was not aware of the back channeling for this movie to resurface and all the ins and outs of the characters. My kids enjoyed the first Rush Hour as we all did.. but alas everything he touches just dies due to the influences he wants to place on anything… Seems there are no exceptions ..
This article is thorough, impactful, and informative. You just saved me several hours of reading by collecting the data and putting it all in one place. Kudos to you.
I think I can speak intelligently on the subject after reading your piece. There is not much the bar charts can add to this one. Maybe if I didn’t trust the writer the charts would be helpful to have.
I hate reading this stuff. I mean it! But you do a damn fine job of writing about it.
Thanksgiving is a time for reflection (I call it ThanksTAKING myself but we try to remain positive, ok?) and you my friend are doing yeoman's work in reflecting our collective reflection as a country back to those willing to look, listen and learn.

Thx for the kind words Harold. I left out the bar charts this time so I’m glad it’s still thorough.
