When a plane gets hijacked by a team of white males, a female vampire is all that stands between them and their evil designs. That’s the premise of the new Netflix film “Blood Red Sky”. Who’s really the good guy and the bad guy here?

If you want good vampires watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series and its spin offs.
There is also the movie Daybreakers. Its very good. A world where the vampires won. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daybreakers
In other words, a good vampire is not even a new idea! The Hollywood writers can’t do originality.
The fight back has begun, at least at Disney, I just watched an episode of the Bad Batch on Disney+. It barely includes the Bad batch, a bunch of modified clones that resisted order 66 and have ended up going free lance with a female clone of Jango Fett on the team.
However episode 11, Devil’s Deal is almost all on Ryloth the Twi’lek home world, those are the ones with the two head tails. It covers the backstory of one of the Star Wars Rebel’s hero’s, Hera Syndulla. The empire is grabbing all the Twi’lek’s guns. I will not say more. You will have to watch it.
Yes this means I’ve decided the embargo is over, Kathleen Kennedy is side lined pending retirement. The only reason the have not rehired Gina Carano is that she is checking that all the trouble makers are gone, it was not just KK, and some were attacking her before they knew she was a Trump supporter. Woke feminism appears to fear real strong females. She also has other competing projects now.
Embargoes are meaningless if you can not define when to end them and what winning looks like.
I get what you gays are saying and I agree. That said, I now need to see that movie. Not only because I adore a good vampire gore fest, but because I need to see if Bill is correct about the subtext.
Bill, you are basing your opinion on a TRAILER for a movie. Unless you have seen the MOVIE…well I think you can get my point.
I think I might do a full review of the movie and post it here once I get to see it. Anyone interested in my little opinion? Please let me know!
When I heard about Slave 1 being removed as the name of “Spaceship” I thought “Wait, he was a bad guy, why cannot he have a bad guy named ship?!”
I don’t go for the exploitation flicks as much as Steve does, I think, though I have a similar attitude toward vampire movies. This one I don’t know I’d call a “vampire movie” though since I bet there isn’t too much backstory on how she lives, what she’s gone through or how she became a vampire. Interview with a Vampire was pretty good for this, and a kinda campy movie called Dracula 2000 I really liked as it got into how he became what he was and what the mythology around vampires and what exactly they were was detailed at least a little bit.
They are changing the name of Slave one because Boba Fett is now a good guy in the Mandalorian and will be a good(ish) guy in the Book of Boba Fett. He just grabbed Jabba the Hutt’s palace and all of his crime Empire and will be going after the other crime cartels. Its a variation of the black sun crime empire idea that appears in all the modded Star Wars space games. The gamers are over the moon. It will get a new name in the script. Boba Fett has grown up.
Like star wars Rebels they are taking enemies and making them allies as the new common foe arises. In the Bad Batch, 19 BBY, and in Rebels, 3-4 BBY that’s the Empire. In the Mandalorian, 9 ABY (Luke and Leia are 28), its Empire Remnants and the criminal gangs and perhaps the Yuuzhan Vong. 0 BBY is when Luke takes out the first death star.
Ah, so its not really the same Boba Fett, but an alternate universe one? If that’s the case, makes more sense, and won’t be the first time.
No its the comic book transition. In the Boba Fett comics Boba cuts his way out of the Sarlacc, 4 ABY, is badly injured, recovers in a village and ends up having several adventures that ends up with him fighting the Empire and other bad guys. The Mandalorian gets his armour back and gives it to him. They team up to fight the Empire in season 2, set 9 ABY. Lucas, Filoni and Favreau are running with all the canon in the books, comics, games and even the toys. They are finding contradictions and having great fun playing games with them. [star date is wrong? No problem the first race is primitive and has a different calendar.] All the shooting for the Book of Boba Fett has been done. Its now in post production. Boba Fett is on the hero’s journey too.
Snakes on a Plane was just a straight rewrite of the Airport movies. Airport 75 mostly. And that’s all I got. The movie was meh. Better than Concorde: Airport 79. Not as good as Airport 77
The fact is that Netflix is run by really detestable folks who publish child pr0n and worse. I expect this kind of schlock from them.
Vampires are historically, culturally, socially and classically evil. Converting them into “good” does not undo the evil nature at the heart of that fictional character, which is that it is a predator of human beings. Predating evil human beings does not change this basic element of the vampire character either.
Loving evil to the point of trying to portray it as “good” is a cognitive disconnect. It is also a symptom of the self-destructive turn much of our society is succumbing to.
Race aside, just forget about race for a minute and consider culture instead. Western Culture, through the application of core spiritual and economic values, has done more to improve the human condition than any other efforts made by any other culture. While still a human construction and therefor suffering from the innate flaws in human nature, Western Culture has done more to suppress the negative aspects and amplify the positive side of humanity than any other culture in the known history of mankind.
On top of that, Western Culture contains the mechanisms for constantly improving itself and we have seen this happen in real life over the preceding centuries. Western Culture today is a much improved version over its own predecessors in the 13th, 15th, 18th and early 20th centuries. Left to itself, Western Culture will continue this self improvement into the foreseeable future.
What culture is it then that these lovers of evil would have us replace Western Culture with?
Hindu Culture, with it’s caste system? African tribalistic culture, which is arguably the most racist culture in the history of humanity? Asian Cultures like the Japanese … Ask a Japanese citizen sometime about what a “gaijin” or “gaikokujin” is. All the Asian Cultures contain some variant of that concept.
Or maybe start all over, from scratch, creating a new culture? Which means going through the process again that Western Culture has already spent many centuries evolving and correcting the more detrimental aspects of itself?
We already have a perfectly good culture, one that many other cultures are adopting the positive aspects of and which has in itself the means for self-improvement.
This is why I say the words “self destructive” and that symptom of self immolation is always an aspect of evil.
Lovers of evil have to destroy a culture that champions the pursuit of civil justice over personal revenge, the inherent value of every individual over the chimerical collective good, love over hate, tolerance over bigotry, humility over pride, and free will over coerced conformity. As to what they would replace such a culture with, that depends on which they. Far as I can tell, our domestic haters aren’t much for formulating any semblance of a coherent plan for rebuilding should they achieve their long-sought demolition. But it’s a completely different matter for the true audience for which this movie was made, who not only will buy this BS but already have; they know exactly what they aim to replace our perfectly good culture with, their own. In his piece at American Greatness today, Victor Davis Hanson wrote, “Our adversaries can’t quite believe their good fortune. Had they thought up ways to divide and impoverish America, to see its cities burned, and looted, to weaken its economy and currency, to erode the unity of its once-feared military, and to entrench the most effective critics of America in America—not in Beijing, Moscow, Pyongyang, or Tehran, but in corporate boardrooms, campuses, newsrooms, Hollywood, Wall Street, and the Pentagon—they could not have improved on what has happened in 2020-21, the era of our collective meltdown.” My question to him is, why assume they didn’t think them up then successfully implement them? My question to Mr. Whittle is, why assume this film was made to please an American audience instead of the Chinese strongman who beguiles them in his thrall? Far from preposterous fluff, this film is way too on the nose. White men are an enemy proven time and again both cheerfully willing and astoundingly able to defend and preserve Western Culture. More surprising is the vital life-essence draining vampire as metaphor for communism. I would love to hope that was intentional subversion, but judging by the output of our Hollywood braintrust, I’m thinking . . . nah.
It’s happening in TV shows, too. I quit watching one of my favorite shows because the patient accused the doctor (who was of the same race, btw) of profiling her, just because she owned a marijuana shop and came into the ER high as a kite.
Another very popular cop show had the following exchange:
Character #1 referring to the murder victim: He was a member of a militia group.
Character #2: Ah, a white supremacist.
Show about first responders:
Firefighter #1: If this [missing] person were white, we’d have a major manhunt underway already. (Paraphrased due to my bad memory.)
Those were about the only shows I still watched — other than home renovation and cooking shows, that is. Now I’m down to … home renovation and cooking shows.
I gave up watching TV or owning one about 13 years ago. Since then, I choose exactly what I want to watch, and have found over the years to want to watch less and less. The choices are nearly endless, so I never want for entertainment that appeals to me specifically. I save time (to pursue other interests), money (no cable bills) and probably quite a few brain cells (zoning out to mindless junk obliterates intelligence) as a result.
Yeah, I cut off my cable and my Netflix. Now I just have Hulu Live and one called Frendly. I’ve also gotten much more selective in my viewing, but I do love my home renovation/house flipping shows, and my cheesy Hallmark movies — the older ones, before Hallmark went woke.
I cut cable years ago and Netflix not long after. I still have Hulu but my account’s on hold. I’m waiting for the 3rd season of Orville. After that I’m cancelling Hulu. I still have Amazon but I find I’m only watching stuff at least 20yrs old. Mostly I watch user generated content on Youtube/Bitchute/Rumble. A 6hr show of Drachinifel answering questions about naval history is pretty normal for me now.
I watch a lot of documentaries nowadays, too. There is a channel on YouTube called Absolute History. It’s nothing but documentaries about…well, history. The sound quality isn’t that great on some of them, but they’re interesting nonetheless.
Kings & Generals is a good history doc channel too.
I am shocked, shocked to learn that the service that was going to pay the Obamas millions of dollars so that they could continue us would produce a movie where white males were the villains. 😏
So many times I start to watch a show or movie until somewhere they slip in a gratuitous barb at Republicans, southerners, conservatives, religion, or another of their usual targets. It’s no wonder more and more people are cutting off their cable. Wonder if the industry will ever get the message that insulting your audience is a losing strategy.
Whenever I see that crud I usually stop watching unless there’s a good reason (like possible blog fodder), and automatically give it one star on Netflix. The ones that truly get me are otherwise OK or good movies that wait until some closing on screen verbiage about the story and dropping soem snide remark at the last minute. Automatic one star
The political message is that white supremacists are the bad guys.
And “White Supremacist” has now been redefined to mean half of America
The redefinition and broadening the meaning of “white supremacist” was necessary because there were only a handful of actual white supremacists left in the U.S., and that number was falling steadily.
It works great as a racist political tool now that the word “racist” has been diluted by constant misuse and hyperbole. Not to mention all the “inclusiveness” of making everyone with more than 10% European blood, of any sort, a “white supremacist”.
Basically the whole idea is exactly the same thing as the Jim Crow South used to be, turned on its head.
The one really, truly positive thing to come of this is that it has most likely created the most emphatic opportunity that has ever existed in this country for Black American Conservatives to leap into political power. I’m still formulating my arguments in that regard, look for a blog essay soon …
At the end of this week I’m going offline for a bit. When you publish, if you could please DM me so I don’t miss it I’d appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing the post!
In the UK we’re fed the same “extreme right wing/white supremacist/neo-nazi groups are the greatest danger to the public” line, both in official statements and in pop culture, and YET…
Only three such groups are on the UK Govt’s list of banned organisations, while on the same list there over fifty Islamist groups. Since 2010 three (maybe two, the cause of death in one case is iffy) people have been killed by people that can be classed as racist pseudo right wingers of one sort or another, although none of the three killers were in, or affiliated with, any such group. Over the same period thirty nine people have been killed by Islamists in the UK.
This sort of pop culture and political propaganda has horrible real world consequences. 22 of those39 deaths were victims of Salman Abedi, the suicide bomber who attacked the Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena in 2017. Nearly half of the victims were under twenty. Another one hundred and twelve people were hospitalised. In the recent report into the bombing it was revealed that Abedi was noticed acting suspiciously by a number of witnesses, including parents waiting for their daughters to come out of the concert. They raised concerns with security staff, who failed to act on these concerns because they didn’t want to be accused of “racially profiling” Abedi.
Death by Diversity. This will be another example for a post I’ll hopefully write on eof these days…
As Steve observes, they (I have read that the head of Paramount, Sherry Lansing, and the director, P. A. Robinson, were responsible) cut the heart out of Tom Clancy’s fine novel, The Sum of All Fears, by changing the villains from Islamic and American Indian terrorists to neo-Nazis. As anything dies when you cut out the heat, so the story died and we were left with a boring brain dead film. Another example of left wing politically correct ideology killing our culture. Bill mentioned that a large number of young people say they’re ashamed of America. I’m not ashamed of America but if the present trend of woke left wing malevolent tyrannical nonsense continues, perhaps I will be.
I heard that Tom Clancy was quite p*ssed about what they did to his book
I haven’t watched any of the Clancy shows on Amazon. How does his estate feel about those shows? I imagine they’re blasé about them since Amazon keeps makin’ them.
Haven’t bothered yet. Not sure how the family feels, but if the checks are large enough that tends to reduce public complaint.
Going back almost 20 years ago , I gave up on the Law and Order franchise(s) even though I like the format because apparently almost all the major crimes in NYC are committed by CEO’s, Park Ave society matrons, doctors or priests. As Bill said about Redford, as soon as the rich guy appears you can turn it off.
That’s still the case in NYC today, right?
LOL. my wife watched those shows faithfully, then she stopped. When I asked why she said, why bother? You can tell who is guilty before the first commercial break.
The Punisher, Marvel movie, did wrong U then tries to do good.
I tried watching the Netflix series, but gave up when the one Conservative minor character vet who talked like Tea Partier of course turned out to be a Stolen Valor Case.
Of COURSE it’s White Men Bad. Now that Orange Man is out of office, Hollywood needs a persistent villain. Only Biden represents good white men: frail, doddering, ice cream fan…and controlled by others.
Wow – PERFECT description of Sundown Joe*!
Of course, Biden is essentially the Mandarin character from IM3 in reverse. The evil person controlling that puppet is Irish, O’Brian or something?
Biden* reminds me more of John Gill from Trek’s “Patterns of Force” episode. It’s somehow fitting that both are being controlled by Socialists.
With so many productions per month, it’s easy to take these guys for granted. But let’s face it: Scott, Steve, Zo and Bill are remarkable people!
I also remember back in the days of the Iraq war 20 years ago how Hollywood kept making these war movies that could have all been named “America sucks.” Fast forward to how Disney has destroyed Star Wars, and I’m wondering how we’re not seeing shareholder lawsuits?
Somewhere between Korea and Vietnam America became the “bad guys”.
