Almost a year ago, I posted about the woke mob going after James Bond 007. Specifically, Ian Fleming's novels.
The stupidity is continuing. Now it's the movies' turn.
The Gateway Pundit posted:
Now, the British Film Institute (BFI) is adding multiple trigger warnings ahead of its tribute to composer John Barry, whose catalog includes several Bond movies.
The Daily Mail reports that the snowflakes at the BFI have issued an “‘absurd’ trigger alert for modern day film-goers, warning 007’s movies could ’cause offence’ and upset modern-day film lovers.”
Film buffs attending a season of classic movies have been warned Bond’s adventures ‘will cause offence today’, with big screen hits like Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice containing language and themes that were ‘prevalent’ in the 1960s.
My parents took me to see a double bill of Dr. No and From Russia With Love (both starring Sean Connery) back when I was nine years old in 1963. I didn't get "upset" by those movies. In fact, quite the opposite. I became a life-long fan of the James Bond movies and, later, the Ian Fleming books.
In 1964, my parents took a couple of friends and I to see Goldfinger. None of us got "offended" or "upset". My friends also became fans. One of them bought the Goldfinger soundtrack album by John Barry and we all played it to death.
There are sure a lot of lamebrains out and about these days. When will the insanity end?

Hollywood these days does not want to make movies where men act like men (ie. chasing girls) and women act like women (ie. they are attracted to and taken care of by dynamic, masculine men). They are constantly trying to portray a fantasy world where women are stronger, smarter, braver, and more capable than men. It's just one more way our culture is pushing the denial of reality as another step on the road to self destruction.
The Bond movies are purely fantasy movies. It is insane to be "offended" by them. It is just the usual "woke police" bullshit.
