Ryan Gosling needs to portray Shaka Zulu in a remake of “Zulu” and “Zulu Dawn”.

Yes, I have often had similar sarcastic thoughts (though if anybody vandalized Zulu in that way, I would hunt them down and kill then with my bare hands.)

AYO Brutus you wanna hit this thing?

More deadpan reviews, please!

"Caesar survives the assassination attempt, due to his dancing abilities and his skills on the mic."

Hah! Didn't see that one coming!

Thanks! This was fun to write, so if you like it, I will do some more in this vein.

I actually thought this was a thing, Poe's law.

It's a fine line you gotta walk, doing satire these days!

I literally thought this was a thing, in a world with Lizzo in it, can you blame me?

Expand full comment

Oh, I know. Lizzo's so fat, you can make a whole parachute out of just the lint in her navel. Now *that* is a big woman!

Like so many others here, I fell for it. Why

not? Your ghetto version of the bard is no stranger or more horrible than anything else going on for real in our cultural death spiral. Very good writing on your part, capturing the crappy moment flawlessly.

Thanks! I have sometimes had the opposite reaction to this type thing, like when I first saw a promotional image of Netflix's Hannibal (starring Denzel Washington) I thought it was some hilarious satire by the Babylon Bee ... NOPE! It was completely real! These are truly strange times!

I'm sure it is all good fun. Retards though gonna get a hard historical lesson they aren't ready for, deconstructing everything unto dissolution. My guess is they would suck at cooperatin and cohabitatin, should they succeed with their anarcho-tyranny, chaos in the streets.

Yeah, somehow their great revolutions keep producing places like Haiti and South Africa, rather than Wakanda.

Wakanda would not import a bunch of illiterate military-aged males from a 150 different countries. Wakanda would have tight borders. I suspect they would prefer cannibalism to the actual building and protecting such a place as Wakanda.

I think you've manifested this into being. Perhaps it will at least make the leap into "good bad movie" territory!

It has potential! If the folks behind "The Last Dragon" reunited to write and direct it, it could actually be legitimately awesome! (Scho'nuff!)

So basically, however bad I'm able to portray Netflix as being, the reality is still worse. And that is a shame because they used to have some decent stuff to offer. Now their attempts to raise their ESG score are too over the top.
