LIL WAYNE Lo Siento Museo de Cera... ¡Lo intentaste Y FALLASTE!
Lil Wayne está de acuerdo con la gente, la figura de cera que intentaron hacer a su semejanza no se parece mucho que digamos al rapero.
Una imagen de una estatua de Weezy F. Baby del Museo de Cera de Hollywood en Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, se volvió viral el lunes y las bromas al respecto no se hicieron esperar.
Acertaron con los tatuajes de Wayne, pero realmente no pudieron con su cara. Muchos pensaron que se parecía más a Toosii con rastas que al jefe de Young Money.
"Lo siento, museo de cera, pero esa mierda no soy yo. Lo intentaron y les agradezco el esfuerzo", escribió Wayne a los conservadores en Tuiter.
No solo Wayne... tambien hubo mucha conversación respecto a la estatua de aspecto extraño de Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a principios de esta semana.
La leyenda de Hollywood/WWE incluso le ofreció al museo, este en concreto situado en París, a ayudar personalmente a arreglar la corrección.
No se sabe si Wayne está dispuesto a hacer lo mismo, pero es mejor dejarle estas cosas a los profesionales del Madame Tussauds.
Lil Wayne Sorry Wax Museum, You Tried AND FAILED!!!
Lil Wayne agrees with the masses ... a wax figure with his likeness did a TERRIBLE job capturing his details.
An image of a Weezy F. Baby statue from the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN began to explode across social media Monday ... with many recognizing the figure intended to resemble Wayne, it was close but no cigar.
The figurine nailed the details of Wayne's tattoos but couldn't really nail his face. Many thought it looked more like Toosii with dreads than the Young Money boss.
"Sorry wax museum but dat shit ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort," Wayne wrote to the curators on Twitter.
Social media users were far less forgiving than Wayne -- equally merciless as the dragging they gave the weird-looking statue of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson earlier this week.
The Hollywood/WWE legend even offered to the museum, this particular one being located in Paris, personal hands-on help to fix the correction.
No telling if Wayne is down to do the same ... but these things are probably best left to the pros at Madame Tussauds at this point.

3-Year-Old Girl Shooting 911 Caller Claims Adults Tried To Hide Incident

Exclusive

The adults in the room when a 3-year-old shot herself with an unattended gun tried covering up the bloody incident ... at least according to the woman who called 911.
In the dispatch audio, obtained by TMZ, the caller says she's not at the home but has been informed about the shooting and is rushing over to help. She's not sure if anyone in the home called 911, and the dispatcher can't seem to find any prior call about the shooting.
The caller begs for an ambulance to rush over to the home, adding ..."And, they are trying to hide it. That's why they didn't call fire rescue. I need an officer over there. I need fire rescue over there."
She also tells the dispatcher the people in the home are trying to take the kiddo to the hospital themselves and "they just let her shoot herself in the hand."
As we reported ... home surveillance video shows the young girl, Serenity, playing in the living room at her grandma's Florida home, jumping onto a couch where a loaded firearm is sitting in plain view.
Serenity grabs the pistol and peers over at a relative, Orlando Young, who is watching a football game on a laptop ... and then the gun goes off. The bullet strikes her hand, and she cries out in pain as chaos ensues.
The caller is on the phone with 911 as she races to the house, and she's still on the line when she pulls up ... and you hear her yelling at someone, "Why didn't they call fire rescue?!?"
Miami-Dade County police say family members took Serenity to a hospital ... and Young was arrested and charged with child neglect.
It's unclear if the caller is the girl's mother, Warnicia Williams, who told Local 10 News she wants Young held accountable.
We reached out to Young's attorney, who declined to comment at this time.

NIÑA DE 3 AÑOS se dispara LOS ADULTOS INTENTARON OCULTAR EL INCIDENTE
Los adultos en la habitación cuando una niña de TRES años se disparó con una pistola desatendida trataron de encubrir el sangriento incidente, al menos según la mujer que llamó al 911.
En el audio, obtenido por TMZ, la persona que llama dice que ella no está en la casa, pero que ha sido informada sobre el tiroteo y se apresura a ayudar. Ella no está segura de si alguien en la casa llamó al 911, y el despachador no puede encontrar ninguna llamada anterior sobre el tiroteo.
La persona que llama pide una ambulancia y dice: "Están tratando de ocultarlo. Por eso no llamaron a los bomberos. Necesito un oficial allí. Necesito a los bomberos".
Ella también le dice al despachador que están tratando de llevar a la niña al hospital ellos mismos y "que acaban de dejar que se dispare en la mano".
Como informamos, el video de vigilancia de la casa muestra a la niña, Serenity, jugando en la sala de estar en la casa de su abuela en Florida, saltando sobre un sofá donde hay un arma de fuego cargada a la vista.
Serenity coge la pistola y mira a un pariente, Orlando Young, que está viendo un partido de fútbol en un ordenador portátil y entonces el arma se dispara. La bala impacta en su mano y ella grita de dolor mientras se desata el caos.
La persona que llama se mantiene en el teléfono con el 911 mientras corre a la casa, y todavía está en la línea cuando se detiene y se oye gritar a alguien, "¡¿Por qué no llamaron a los bomberos!?"
La policía del condado de Miami dice que miembros de la familia llevaron a Serenity a un hospital y que Young fue arrestado y acusado de negligencia infantil.
No está claro si la persona que llamó es la madre de la niña, Warnicia Williams, quien dijo a Local 10 News que quiere que Young rinda cuentas.
Nos pusimos en contacto con el abogado de Young. No quiso hacer comentarios en este momento.
Atlanta Woman House Accidentally Demolished ... Wrong Address, Whoops!!!
It's a tale as old as time -- that moment when you come home from vacation and realize your house is, inexplicably, in pieces ... boy, we've all been there haven't we?
This wacky story is coming out of Atlanta, where Susan Hodgson says she came to learn her longtime family home of over 40 years -- which was thankfully vacant at the time -- had been completely demolished without her permission or her knowledge ... this per AP.
According to Hodgson, she was out of town when she got a call from a neighbor ... who asked if she'd hired a company to bulldoze her home -- one that she owned, but did not live in FWIW -- something that caught her by surprise, because she absolutely hadn't.
Hodgson says, upon her request, the neighbor confronted the crew working on the demolition -- but claims they were totally rude and told the neighbor to piss off. Hodgson says she then sent a family member who had all the proper paperwork to show she owned the place ... and when the workers saw that, she claims they said -- whoops, wrong address!
Once the workers realized they had the wrong place, they apparently just packed up and left ... without so much as a sorry. Now, Hodgson is trying to figure out what to do -- and is weighing her legal options against the company that was behind this
In statement to FOX5 -- which has a great news package about this -- that company (You Call It, We Haul It) says they're investigating the matter ... but that's where things stand.
Hodgson says the home was boarded up -- but notes she and her relatives kept it in good shape, cutting the grass and making sure the taxes were paid and up to date.
It's possible someone just assumed the pad was abandoned ... talk about a screw-up!

Lil Yachty Appears to Encourage Fans To Rush Stage Before Show Halts

Lil Yachty seems to be responsible for getting his own concert canceled early this weekend -- because not long before the plug got pulled ... he was telling folks to come on down.
The rapper was performing Saturday night in Vancouver, BC ... and toward the beginning of his set at the University of British Columbia's Thunderbird Arena -- which looked to be packed -- the ticketholders could be seen pouring down onto the main floor and rushing the stage.
Take a look for yourself ... in footage obtained by TMZ -- you can see tons of young people descending toward the mosh pit area of the arena, seemingly at LY's behest.
Eyewitnesses tell us Yachty was shouting "fill it up" as he was starting to perform the very first song of his set list ... and his fans obliged, with tons of folks climbing over railings and security guards to get to the mosh pit area and be as close to Yachty as possible.
We're told Yachty did 3 or 4 songs under these conditions, but then his mic was cut off and the house lights came on. Someone over the speaker told everyone to go back to their seats -- something Yachty himself encouraged, saying the show would be over if they didn't.
Sounds like people didn't head back fast enough ... 'cause our sources say when Yachty trying launching into yet another song, the sound was gone -- and the gig was canceled.
No word on whether anyone was hurt here ... but it goes without saying, rushing the stage like that can be dangerous. We've reached out to Yachty's rep ... so far, no word back.

PÁNICO EN MEDIO DE UNA ALARMA DE INCENDIO Marty presente en proyección de su película

Un cine AMC de Los Ángeles se sumió en el pánico y la confusión durante una aparente emergencia este fin de semana. Fue un momento de caos que podría haber afectado a Martin Scorsese.
Todo esto sucedió el sábado por la noche en el cine AMC de Century City, donde testigos presenciales le informan a TMZ que todas las proyecciones de alrededor de las 7 PM fueron interrumpidas y acortadas después de una alarma de incendio que comenzó a sonar en todo el establecimiento, cuya causa aún no está clara.
Se nos dice que el personal de AMC no fue precisamente útil a la hora de aclarar la situación o decirle a la gente que hacer. Los asistentes actuaron por su cuenta y bajaron en dirección al vestíbulo.
Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que algunas personas estaban enloqueciendo un poco debido a la falta de información, un puñado de gente pensó que podría haber sido una situación de tirador activo, así que sí, parece que la situación fue bastante caótica.
Nos dicen que la gente estaba de pie torpemente alrededor y no muy segura de qué hacer. Con el pasar de los minutos y al darse cuenta de que la proyección se había arruinado, los asistentes formaron una gran fila para pedir el reembolso.
Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que todo el mundo finalmente recibió su dinero de vuelta (eso, o un boleto para otra película otro día). Incluso había para la película de Taylor Swift (que se vende como un evento de estreno) fue honrado por el personal de AMC, pero todo el proceso fue un lío.

AMC Theaters Panic Ensues in L.A. Amid Fire Alarm ... Marty On Hand for 'KOTFM'

An AMC Theater in L.A. erupted into panic and confusion during an apparent emergency over the weekend -- a frenzied scene which might've actually affected one Martin Scorsese.
This all went down Saturday night at the AMC Century City location -- where eyewitnesses tell TMZ that all screenings around 7 PM PT were interrupted and cut short after a fire alarm started blaring throughout the entire facility ... the cause of which is still unclear.
We're told that AMC staffers weren't all that helpful in clarifying to people what was going on or what to do -- and folks started to shuffle out on their own ... heading into the lobby.
Our sources tell us, however, that some people were actually freaking out a bit -- seeing how no information was apparently being communicated, a handful of folks thought there might've been an active shooter situation ... so yeah, it sounds like it was a chaotic sitch.
We're told people were awkwardly standing around ... not really sure what to do. Eventually, though, a massive line formed once it became clear their movies were ruined -- and guest relations started to give out refunds.
Our sources tell us everybody there did eventually get their money back -- that, or a movie voucher for another visit -- and that even for the Taylor Swift movie, which is being sold as a premiere event was honored by the AMC staff ... but the whole process was messy.

The kicker to all this is that Scorsese was actually on hand Saturday night there at Century City -- as he was intro'ing a screening of "Killers Of the Flower Moon" around the same time.
We're told he didn't appear to be in the shuffle of bodies once people started exiting -- he might've left before this alarm went off -- but eyewitnesses say his flick got interrupted too.

JUEGO DE FÚTBOL LA IMAGEN DE HITLER EN PANTALLA GRANDE Las autoridades escolares se disculpan
La despreciable imagen de Hitler hizo una aparición sorpresa en un partido de fútbol de la Universidad Estatal de Michigan y no es sorprendente que la reacción fuera de repudio colectivo, lo que llevó a la universidad a emitir un mea culpa.
La cara del líder nazi apareció en un enorme tablero de video con vistas a Spartan Stadium el Sábado por la noche, justo antes de que la MSU Spartans diera inicio a su partido contra los Wolverines de Michigan.
La gran pantalla mostraba no solo la foto del Fuher, sino también una pregunta de trivial sobre su lugar de nacimiento en Austria.
Por supuesto, la metedura de pata no sentó bien a mucha gente en medio de la guerra entre Israel y Hamás, así que sacaron fotos del cameo de Hitler y las colgaron en las redes sociales.
Los responsables de la MSU no tardaron en disculparse, al tiempo que echaban la culpa del fiasco a una "fuente ajena".
En un comunicado, el Director Atlético Asociado de MSU, Matt Larson, dijo: "MSU es consciente de que el contenido inapropiado de una fuente de terceros se mostró en el tablero de video antes del inicio del partido de fútbol de esta noche".
Larson continuó: "Lamentamos profundamente el contenido que se mostró, ya que no es representativo de nuestros valores institucionales".
También prometió no volver a utilizar la fuente de terceros, mientras que la aplicación de "procedimientos de selección y aprobación más fuertes para todo el contenido de la pizarra de video en el futuro".
Por cierto, los Spartans fueron derrotados 49-0 por los Wolverines.
MSU Football Game Snafu Hitler's Mug Flashes On Large Screen ... School Officials Apologize
Hitler's despicable image made a surprise appearance at a Michigan State University football game ... and not surprisingly the reaction was collective disgust, leading to the college issuing a mea culpa.
The Nazi leader's ugly mug flashed on a huge video board overlooking Spartan Stadium Saturday night ... just before the MSU Spartans kicked off their match-up against the Michigan Wolverines.
The large screen displayed not only the Fuher's photo but also a trivia question about his birthplace in Austria.
Of course, the screwup didn't sit well with many people amid the Israel-Hamas war -- so they snapped pictures of Hitler's cameo and posted them on social media.
It didn't take long for MSU officials to apologize, while also blaming the fiasco on a "third-party source."
In a statement, MSU's Associate Athletic Director Matt Larson said, "MSU is aware that inappropriate content by a third-party source was displayed on the video board prior to the start of tonight's football game."
Larson continued, "We are deeply sorry for the content that was displayed, as this is not representative of our institutional values."
He also promised to never again use the third-party source, while implementing "stronger screening and approval procedures for all video board content in the future."
Making matters worse, the Spartans got their butts kicked 49-0 by the Wolverines.

Tyler Perry Nueva casa diseñada para mujer de 93 años, ¡tiene piscina!
El apoyo de Tyler Perry para una anciana que lucha por conservar una propiedad de Carolina del Sur que su familia posee desde la época de la Guerra Civil, incluye una nueva casa con piscina.
Josephine Wright es la mujer de 93 años, que está enfrentada con un promotor de Hilton Head y su nieta Charise le dice a TMZ que Tyler se puso en contacto con la familia y le preguntó qué quería para su nueva casa, a lo que ella respondió, 5 dormitorios y una piscina.
Charise dice que Tyler estuvo de acuerdo y su equipo le envió los planos a Josephine, pero su abuela es muy particular y pidió algunos cambios menores, a los que él también accedió.
Como se puede ver en el plano, obtenido por TMZ, también hay una sala de juegos, comedor, oficina, sala de medios y un gran porche.
Nos han dicho que Tyler le está regalando una casa modular a Josephine, lo que significa que se construirá fuera del sitio y luego se trasladará a una parte separada de su propiedad, por lo que no tendrá que dejar la parcela de tierra que ha sido heredada por su familia durante generaciones.
Charise dice que parte de la actual casa de su abuela está construida sobre la sección de propiedad, que es objeto de disputa.
TMZ dio la noticia, Tyler compró la casa y los equipos de construcción se pondrán a trabajar en unas pocas semanas, una vez que todos los permisos estén listos.
Tyler prometió su apoyo a Josephine en julio después de enterarse de su difícil situación, y Charise nos dice que se puso en contacto con la familia a finales de agosto para poner en marcha el proyecto de su nuevo hogar.
Tyler Perry dona $750K para que las personas mayores vivan cerca del estudio de cine
En cuanto al enfrentamiento legal de Josephine con el desarrollador, se nos dice que ambas partes están todavía deliberando.
Charise nos dijo: "A mi abuela le gustaría dar las gracias a todas las personas que se fijaron en ella y no vieron a una pequeña dama frágil, sino a una gigante dispuesta a luchar para mantener lo que es legítimamente suyo. Ellá está muy agradecida, que Dios la bendiga".
Parece que Tyler llegó justo a tiempo para Josephine. También nos contaron que se sometió a una cirugía el martes, en su riñón y se está recuperando muy bien en el hospital. La familia está pidiendo que recen por ella.

Tyler Perry's lifeline for an elderly woman fighting to hang on to the South Carolina property her family's owned since the Civil War era includes a new home with a swimming pool.
Josephine Wright is the 93-year-old woman duking it out with a developer in Hilton Head and her granddaughter, Charise, tells TMZ ... Tyler got in touch with the family and asked Josephine what she wanted in a new home, and she told him 5 bedrooms plus a pool.
Charise says Tyler agreed and his team sent Josephine the blueprints. But, she says her grandma is very particular and asked for a few minor changes ... and he obliged.
As you can see in the blueprint, obtained by TMZ, there's also a game room, dining room, home office, media room and a big porch.
We're told Tyler is gifting Josephine a modular home ... meaning it will be built off-site and then moved to a separate part of her expansive property, so she won't have to leave the plot of land that's been passed down by her family for generations.
Charise says part of her grandma's current home is built on the section of property that is the subject of a bitter land dispute.
TMZ broke the story ... Tyler's buying the home and construction crews will get to work in a few weeks once all the permits are squared away.
Tyler pledged his support to Josephine back in July after learning of her plight ... and Charise tells us he reached out to the family in late August to get the ball rolling on the new home.

As for Josephine's legal showdown with the developer ... we're told both sides are still in deliberations.
Charise tells TMZ ... "My Grandmother would like to thank all the people all over the world who looked at her and didn't see a little fragile lady but a giant ready to fight to keep what's rightfully hers. She is humbled and so appreciative, God bless."
It sounds like Tyler's coming through at just the right time for Josephine too ... we're told she underwent surgery Tuesday to have a stint put in her kidney and she's recovering in the hospital and doing well ... and the family's asking for prayers.

Shaun King Insists He Helped Free U.S. Hostages Despite Family Pushback
A man known in social justice circles has claimed to have helped with the release of two American hostages amid the Israel-Hamas conflict -- but the family's calling BS.
Shaun King has been trending all weekend over a post he threw up Friday -- which seemed to be him taking credit, at least in part, for the safe return of Judith Raanan and her teenage daughter, Natalie Raanan.
King said he was grateful Natalie and her mother had been freed, adding ... "As I said last week, Natalie and her family have been supporters of mine and have protested police violence in America alongside us."
He continued, "I am also thankful for the Qatari government for helping to negotiate this. Dozens of us worked frantically behind the scenes to help make this possible."
King finished by saying ... "I spoke to Natalie's family this afternoon and they are anxiously awaiting more updates."
Well, his version of events apparently doesn't quite align with what the Raanan family's aware of -- 'cause they're saying they straight up don't know this guy. The family released a statement, saying ... "Today we came across bizarre posts on the Instagram page of one Shaun King, who turns out to have millions of followers, who claims that our relative Natalie Raanan supports the anti-Israeli messages he uploads to his page."
The family goes on ... "First and foremost, we make it clear that he is lying! Our family does not and did not have anything to do with him, neither directly nor indirectly. Not to him and not to anything he claims to represent." They go on to say Natalie has never met Shaun, and she first learned about him today amid all the speculation ... of which there's been much.
The Raanan family says folks shouldn't buy what King's selling ... and that his claims amount to misinformation -- which they say is spreading like wildfire. They also note they have more family members and loved ones in captivity that they're working to have released.
🚨STATEMENT from Ben Raanan, brother of Natalie Raanan, the young hostage that was freed by Hamas.
— Shaun King (@shaunking) October 21, 2023 @shaunking
Ben, a longtime supporter of mine, was the American spokesperson for the family and first reached out to me for help on October 9th.
Followed by a THREAD of receipts/records. pic.twitter.com/BL4kRlewYD
Now, as for King ... he's already defending himself by now sharing who exactly he spoke with -- and as it turns out, he says it was a brother of Natalie's ... going to post receipts of conversations he says he had with the guy, detailing his efforts to have her freed.
He also claims he just spoke to the Raanan family -- presumably the same people who released this blistering statement -- and insists they're being forced to distance themselves from him. So, at this point ... there seems to be conflicting accounts over what's going on.
King has been accused of inserting himself into high-profile situations like these in the past -- and there are certainly a lot of folks who don't believe him. Still, he's standing firm.

Taylor Swift 'Eras' Film Review Goes Viral ... For Outlandish Critique
Taylor Swift's 'Eras' film got torched by a critic who likened her movie to the downfall of society as we know it -- and all we can say about this over-the-top piece is ... holy crap.
This critique -- which is now going viral, for all the wrong reasons -- comes courtesy of Armond White of the National Review ... which is a well-known conservative outlet, so keep that in mind as we guide you through this nonsense.
White does a full-blown sociological examination of the 'Eras Tour' flick, as he sees it -- and you can tell how he views things from his headline and subheading ... "Taylor Swift's Asylum Seekers ... A movie concert promotes post-Madonna, post-Obama mind control."
You can read it all for yourself, but here's one excerpt that's getting mocked ... "The Swift circus doesn’t replace the thrill of originality and profundity that accompanied the advent of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Supremes, the Jackson Five, which Gen Z knows nothing about. Instead, Swift specializes in degraded girl-pop -- teenage solipsism, the silliness that kids will ideally outgrow. Yet her songs corrupt puppy love into jejune sophistication."
He then compares the movie's director, Sam Wrench, to Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl ... namely, making Taylor's concerts far more grand/aesthetically pleasing than they actually are in person, the way Riefenstahl did for Hitler -- at least that seems to be White's POV.
Not just this, but White actually tries to juxtapose Swfities innocently dancing in theaters to mass shooter James Holmes, intimating a connection by writing ... "The teens in TikTok clips who pitifully bounce and sing along with the film’s pre-recorded concert are the flip side of those nerds and sociopaths who lined up for 'The Dark Knight Rises' in Aurora, Colo."
OCTOBER 2023
If that sounds unhinged, that's because it is ... that's certainly how Twitter feels about it, anyway. They're unloading on White's hyperbole over something as benign as a concert film.
He ends his scorched-earth review this way ... "Boomer parents may want to let them have their fun — same as toying with matches and playing in the traffic. But here’s a frightening fact of the Swifties pheenom: These kids seem ready for a leader, anxious for totalitarianism. It will take a counterrevolution to repair Swift’s moral, aesthetic, and political damage."
FWIW, White is very much a man apart here ... 'cause just about every other film critic (big and small) has praised the 'Eras' movie for being what it is -- a wholesome, good time.
Also ... her flick is poised to be the top dog (yet again) at the box office this weekend. 🤷🏽♂️

Taylor Swift Una crítica de la película 'Eras' se vuelve viral Por su extravagancia
La película 'Eras' de Taylor Swift fue incendiada por un crítico que comparó su película con la caída de la sociedad como la conocemos, y todo lo que podemos decir sobre ello es, ¡vaya mierda!
La crítica, que se está haciendo viral en este momento por todas las equivocadas razones, es cortesía de Armond White de National Review. Este es un conocido medio conservador, así que tenlo presente mientras les contamos sobre esta tontería.
En la crítica, White hace un examen sociológico completo de la película y solo con leer el titular y los subtítulos se puede ver de qué va: "Los solicitantes de asilo de Taylor Swift, un concierto de cine promueve el control mental post-Madonna, post-Obama".
Pueden leerlo con sus propios ojos, pero aquí hay un extracto que está siendo objeto de burlas: "El circo de Swift no reemplaza la emoción de la originalidad y la profundidad que acompañó el advenimiento de los Beatles, los Rolling Stones, las Supremes, los Jackson Five, de los que la Generación Z no sabe nada. En su lugar, Swift se especializa en un pop de chicas degradado: un solipsismo adolescente y tontería que los niños idealmente superarán. Sin embargo, sus canciones corrompen el amor de cachorro y lo convierten en una sofisticación ridícula".
A continuación, compara al director de la película, Sam Wrench, con la propagandista nazi Leni Riefenstahl, diciendo que está haciendo los conciertos de Taylor mucho más grandiosos/estéticamente y agradables de lo que son realmente en persona, de la misma manera que Riefenstahl hizo con Hitler, o al menos eso cree White.
No solo eso, White intenta yuxtaponer a los Swfities que bailan inocentemente en los cines con el tirador de masas James Holmes, insinuando una conexión al escribir: "Los adolescentes en los clips de TikTok que lastimosamente rebotan y cantan junto al concierto pregrabado de la película son la otra cara de esos nerds y sociópatas que hicieron cola para 'The Dark Knight Rises' en Aurora, Colo".
OCTOBER 2023
Si eso suena desquiciado, es porque lo es ... Y, Twitter siente lo mismo, muy ciertamente, ya que se están desahogando con la hipérbole de White por algo tan inocente como una película sobre un concierto.
El autor termina su crítica de esta manera: "Puede que los padres de la generación boomer quieran dejar que sus hijos se diviertan, igual que cuando juegan con cerillas y en el tráfico. Pero he aquí un hecho aterrador del fenómeno de los Swifties: Estos niños parecen listos para tener un líder, ansiosos de totalitarismo. Hará falta una contrarrevolución para reparar el daño moral, estético y político de Swift".
Para lo que es importante, White es un hombre muy aparte aquí, porque casi todos los otros críticos de cine (grandes y pequeños) han elogiado la película 'Eras' por ser lo que es -un tiempo de diversión.
Además... su película está preparada para ser la más taquillera (una vez más) este fin de semana. 🤷🏽♂️
Ryan Reynolds, Mandy Moore Call Out SAG's Halloween Rules ... Really? No Dressing Up?!?
Ryan Reynolds and Mandy Moore think their union's rules over Halloween costumes this year are absurd -- which has forced SAG-AFTRA to clarify what they mean ... if only a bit.
The two actors are among the most famous faces to be calling out SAG's demand this week that their members refrain from dressing up as characters from struck movies or shows ... this as they enter their 100th day of picketing amid yet another stalemate in negotiations.
On Wednesday, SAG issued new guidelines about getups they would consider forbidden -- especially ones that actors might want to throw up on IG. Rather than dress as specific characters from splashy titles this year -- "Barbie," obviously -- SAG recommends choosing generic 'stumes ... like ghosts, zombies, spiders, etc. That, or animated TV show characters.
In response to the harsh restrictions, MM and RR fired away. Mandy wrote, "Is this a joke? Come on @sagaftra. This is what’s important? We’re asking you to negotiate in good faith on our behalf. So many folks across every aspect of this industry have been sacrificing mightily for months. Get back to the table and get a fair deal so everyone can get back to work."
Ryan had his own critique ... jokingly writing about his daughter, James -- "I look forward to screaming 'scab' at my 8 year old all night. She’s not in the union but she needs to learn."
More so in response to Ryan's sentiment, SAG has cleared up exactly who these "rules" apply to -- and it ain't the little ones. They say, "SAG-AFTRA issued Halloween guidance in response to questions from content creators and members about how to support the strike during this festive season. This was meant to help them avoid promoting struck work, and it is the latest in a series of guidelines we have issued. It does not apply to anyone’s kids."
They added, "We are on strike for important reasons, and have been for nearly 100 days. Our number one priority remains getting the studios back to the negotiating table so we can get a fair deal for our members, and finally put our industry back to work."
Of course, the reason these celebs might be feeling antsy is because of a reported setback in the latest attempt to work out a deal with the AMPTP ... which reportedly walked away from SAG due to their demands. The industry is still at a standstill, with no end in sight.
