Porn Smears Mar Kids’ Movie

Universal Pictures’ new witchcraft movie Wicked has already stirred plenty of controversy owing to actress Cynthia Erivo complaining when a fan edited a promotional poster for the film. Erivo didn’t like the revised poster because it covered over her eyes,  blurring Erivo’s identity, and thus, tweaking her bloated ego!

But now, a much bigger promotional snafu has emerged. Dolls produced by Mattel to promote the film come packaged in boxes that mistakenly list a pornographic website. That’s right. Instead of going to the Universal site to learn about the movie, children are directed to out-and-out, xxxx-rated porn!

The film, co-starring the singer Ariana Grande, is due for release next Friday, Nov. 22. It’s based on a 2003 Broadway musical, itself a reiteration of the many volumes surrounding The Wizard of Oz. The new take is rated PG, never mind the racy and obscene hubbub. Here’s more from Ryan Kinel on the RK Outpost.

Blood Bath To Rock Disney

Walt Disney Corporation hasn’t gotten as much bad press as Anheuser-Busch, but the company has pushed aside a huge block of its customers, and in the process, lost more than $100 billion in its market value. This week, the pain will become more evident as Disney begins to compensate, launching a series of massive layoffs affecting every division of the company — from the theme parks to the movie-making studios to broadcasting operations like ESPN.

As many as 4,000 employees are expected to receive pink slips this week. That number could reach 7,000 layoffs by the end of the summer, as the belt-tightening continues.

It’s unfortunate that so much of the damage was self-inflicted as Disney openly embraced woke leftist policies, often antagonizing its base of customers. We don’t see many signs of the mendacious Disney management changing its high-handed and arrogant ways, so look for additional shakeups down the road. Here’s more Ryan Kinel at the RK Outpost.

Baldwin Settles, Film Resumes

In an insane turn of events, Ryan Kinel reports that Alec Baldwin has reached a settlement with the widower of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the film will resume filming in January. Even more bizarre, Hutchins’ widow Matthew Hutchins was named executive producer of the film.

The Santa Fe District Attorney’s office announced that criminal charges are still pending for Baldwin in spite of the settlement. Baldwin alleges the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins last summer was an accident and contends he did not pull the trigger. More with Kinel on RK Outpost.
