Hollywood flops in March

Hollywood has suffered its worst box office decline in recent memory as people are apparently fed up with everything having a political point of view that veers to the left.

And perhaps some people are also fed up with every movie, every Netflix, every story, having a token LGBTQ scene, [there just aren't that many transgender heroes in the world] or a story in which a female character beats the crap out of an evil white guy capitalist.

March's last hope in the U.S. box office is Steven Spielberg's "Ready Player One," which opens Thursday right before Easter weekend.

So as March comes to a close in a week, Hollywood's major releases have stunk, triggering the worst year-over-year decline for the month in recent times.

Maybe Michael Moore can do a documentary on school shootings and why America needs to ban guns and take in more unvetted illegal immigrants.

Hey, maybe he can do an expose on Harvey Weinstein.

A ISIS-inspired PR stunt goes awry in France

Cannes -- The French are not known for their comedy nor their ability to make pets out of snails and frogs. They are also not known for being stupid as a culture, but they tried their best to disprove that notion Friday.

A French internet company pulled a PR stunt that may have resulted in some people soiling their skivvies. They used a group of fake commandos who menacingly approached the Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, a celebrity hotel near the Cannes Film Festival and roughly translated means "The Hotel with the Hat on Eden Rock."

Intelligent people by the hotel panicked as they witnessed what they believed was another ISIS attack in France.

The Hollywood Reporter wrote that six men in military-style gear approached the hotel where Vanity fair editor Graydon Carter was hosting an exclusive elitist party of liberals on the property. One of the "military" men stormed the stairs leading up to the resort.

Publicist J.R. Savet told the Hollywood Reporter, "We were all caught off guard. And then someone screamed and people jumped out of their chairs and started moving quickly to the swimming pool area. It was pretty scary. The fact that the men appeared to be (dressed like) an ISIS-like militia group was quite shocking."

What Savet meant by 'quite shocking' was that he wet himself and screamed, "Kill them, kill them. Not me."

Security was immediately called as the hotel staff acted like nothing was wrong while continuing to serve snails and frogs with French fries and red wine.

The ordeal was actually a publicity stunt for a French "global marketplace" known as Oraxy, which is French for "We bleed 'stupid.'" The company describes itself as "reserved exclusively for (Ultra High Net Worth Individuals)."

The fake attackers also sped past several huge yachts owned by Steven Spielberg, Roman Abramovitch and Ronald Perelman.

"It was not a terrorist attack. It was a communication effort and publicity for an internet site," French National Police said in a statement. Officials described the incident as "just a bad joke-a really bad one."

An Oraxy spokesmoron confirmed that it was all a publicity stunt and it was coordinated with maritime authorities and said the unidentified owners, who have since removed their heads from their nether regions, feel "really bad" about scaring the crap out of people, some of whom could have suffered PTSD or a heart attack for the sake of a bad joke.

The Cannes Film Festival is a slightly more than 560 miles from the recent Paris attack that killed 130 people.

This proves that rich or poor, anyone can be an idiot. Maybe they'll try the next stunt in Paris proper.
