Reviewing Terror on the Prairie and the Daily Wire 'Media Empire'

Terror on the Prairie is not a great movie, but it serves as a nice jumping off point for looking at how the Daily Wire is trying to build its own insular right wing media empire. I can't say for certain how it'll turn out, but I'm a bit skeptical of their chances at success.

I have no idea if I'll be reviewing any more Daily Wire movies in the future, largely because they haven't even announced what their next one will be. Apparently it's very hard for them to find a decent script, though if I had to hazard a guess, I think it's also hard for them to find a script they can finance.

I'm seeing a lot of comments about True Grit. The reason I didn't mention it when talking about female-led Westerns was because I was only talking about the ones I've seen.

[pixelbomb]

That Ben Shapiro clip talking about how Hollywood's strong female characters are just women meatheads that can punch men through walls. All I can think about is how that just describes 90 percent of Gina Carano's previous characters.

Candice said, "When we had slaves." "When WE had slaves." Who wants to be the one to tell her?

[davidtaylor]

Ben is like: "The left always want strong female character to be bare knuckle Boxers who can throw you through a wall."
"Anyway my female character is played by Gina Carano."

I remember Gallo being angry on Roger Ebert scathing review on Brown Bunny, and said that Ebert was fat. Ebert just said, "Someday I will be thin, but Vincent Gallo will always be the director of The Brown Bunny."

"Prove you're a blonde haired blue eyed white girl and I'll give you a 5% discount on my sperm" is one of the most deranged incelbrained things I've heard in a minute.

That one dudes rant about how "If you're a conservative, know that every song show and article in the mainstream is made by people who hate you" is kinda sad to me. An entire segment of the population being gaslit into thinking that everyone is out to get them and the only one who cares about them is the site run by an oil tycoon. Its the abusive isolating spouse tactic for politics and its genuinely makes me feel bad for people in this pipeline.

I like how 3/4 of the Daily Wire movies are female led.

I dunno, seems kinda woke to me guys

[macyfrost]

The Daily Wire needs a horror film about a big city in the urban north replacing all of their bathroom signs indicating that they're all gender neutral now. The main characters desperately search for respite from their inability to pee because they refuse to degrade themselves in the woke toilet mob. The twist ending comes when they manage to meet a kindly old lady who offers them the use of her bathroom. Just when they think they can finally relieve themselves, they discover that the conspiracy has gone so far that even private citizens have allowed the madness of non-segregated bathrooms in their own homes. The absolute terror!

When Gina Carano got fired from Mando, literally the first thing that went through my mind was "I bet she's gonna try doing like Daily Wire movies or conservative propaganda on like Prager U." I don't like that I was right.

[bobbybooshay]

So Caranos normal person character can just pick up a gun and inexplicably start kicking loads of ass. Isn't that the exact same complaint they have about Rey Palpatine?

[basquat]

Fun fact. In Gina Caranos first film Haywire they actually dubbed her voice. They didn't think she did very well with voice acting so they got someone else to speak for her.

Daily Wire movie pitch: a cross between Rambo & Look Who’s Talking where a gun-toting fetus goes on a quest for revenge against pro-choicers

[danielthrasher]

As someone who liked Gina Carano back when I only knew her for her MMA career (she was awesome until she got absolutely wrecked by Cyborg) and the American Gladiators reboot, and enjoyed her in the Mandalorian, I was sad to see her behave in such an ignorant way, hurt others, and shoot her own career in the foot. But her entire persona is built around doing action movie cliche badassery. It is not in her wheelhouse to do nuance on screen. Regardless of her poor political opinions, she should not be the emotional anchor of a movie.

[algi]

I think Gina Carrano is the type of actor like many wrestlers are. They cannot just act by themselves, but if a director knows what to do with them, they work wonders.

[nomisunrider]

Still doesn’t piss me off as much as “Run Hide Fight” for encouraging kids to do the exact opposite of what they should do in a school shooting.

[leonairm]

My parents have practically begged me to watch their movies claiming they’re “not political” and “amazing as standalone films” and I was extremely disappointed. My mom loves Ben and my dad loves Jordan Peterson so I wasn’t exactly surprised, just sad.

[Marco_Onyxheart]

Correction: Gina Carano was not fired by Disney. Her contract simply ran out. She just created a huge storm to give it an anti-SJW spin.

[loreleimonn]

I remember getting an ad on YouTube for The Hyperions, and it absolutely broke my heart to see Cary Elwes attached to the DailyWire. I can’t tell you how much it improved my day to learn that their involvement came well after it was made

[EpicBeard]

The crowd reacting to the image of Jordan Balthazar Peterson as though it were Kevin Feige announcing a new Avengers movie is so funny it doesn't feel real
