A dream show for Bill Maher Friday dealt a large part of the hour with his favorite topic “Breaking off culture”. Two like-minded panellists attacked each other in defense of budding Teen Vogue editor Alexi McCammond and were upset over Turner Classic’s “Reframed”. Movies.
“I don’t want to talk about demolition culture every week, but I don’t think people understand how much this is a tsunami and how fast the goal posts change almost weekly. It’s not just what you do, it’s everything you’ve ever done. It’s not just what you say, it’s what you hear, what you order, who you say you like, any kind of association, ”the comedian grumbled over HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher. He compared the current climate with the Hollywood blacklist of the 1950s. “People go to parties now and say, ‘Can I talk? I don’t know your girlfriend, she might have woken up. ‘”

“You shouldn’t have fired her,” he said, referring to 27-year-old McCammond, who put off a great new gig this week before even starting on Teen Vogue amid controversy over tweets she was high School had sent. “People talk about shit in private, we can’t make that illegal … For God’s sake,” said Maher.
“She’s beautiful,” said former North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp. The libertarian journalist and Reason editor Nick Gillespie beat up the American company for buckling each time to avoid controversy. “It’s a skewed ideology and it takes the place of religion,” said Gillespie. “People who say, ‘I’m hurt when I hear something that offends me,’ that it’s the equivalent of violence. Words are not the same as violence. “
Maher enjoyed Turner Classic Movies’ decision to redesign classic films with their rotating presenters. “You have to have a husband and give a speech about movies that you used to just enjoy … because you understand that times change, people change, and morals change. It used to be called evolution, now it is called problematic. “Films include Gone With the Wind and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Even “My Fair Lady is too rough for her. It was too cheesy for me when I was ten. My dad wanted me to see it and I wouldn’t. “
He warned of other classics: “Sleeping Beauty – a prince kisses an unconscious woman without consent; The Wizard of Oz – a powerful woman of color is murdered by a rural white girl; Psycho – inaccurately depicts the lives of the vast majority of transgender motel owners; Rosemary’s Baby – Doesn’t Present Planned Parenthood as a Workable Option; Jaws – portrays white people as victims; The Graduate – shows a problematic age discrepancy that the man cannot be blamed for. “
Maher couldn’t resist digging up the Oscar Best Picture Nicks announced on Monday: “The main competitors are Nomandland, Minari and Sound of Metal. For theaters wanting to find out how to reopen with 15% capacity, I think we’ve found an answer.
Or with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: “With the increase in migrants at the border, the authorities say that we can no longer accept unskilled foreigners who do not even have the impression that they want to work. We already have Meghan and Harry. “
