Gal Gadot’s Imagine video draws snarky social-media backlash

Labeling the video “cringe” and “tone deaf,” many were not charmed by celebrities who can retreat to their mansions when they “self isolate” singing about imagining no possessions.

Still others asked why Gadot couldn’t simply have re-posted the video of the Italian trumpet player.

Gadot raised eyebrows in early March when she was flown by a private plane chartered by Netflix to protect her from coronavirus on her way to set of the upcoming movie Red Alert, after she told People Magazine in January that she would not fly in private planes to help the environment

This ‘Imagine’ Cover Is No Heaven

The actress Gal Gadot assembled celebrities singing John Lennon’s anthem on social media. The result is far from inspiring in a time of crisis.

Gal Gadot Tried To Do Something Nice With ‘Imagine.’ It Didn't Go Over So Hot

Hey celebs, we don't want to be sung to. We want you to use a million or two of your money and order ventilators, masks, and gloves from the manufacturers then donate them to a hospital. Or pay for the salaries of an entire staff at a bar, restaurant, or daycare.

"Imagine" if celebrities came together to donate money/resources to people actually need it. I wonder if they can

‘Imagine’ That: Gal Gadot’s Sweet Gesture Devolves Into A Social Media Feeding Frenzy

As hard as it may be to conceive, there are worse things than being confined to your home. Like having to listen to celebrities sing along to John Lennon’s Imagine as you contemplate killing for toilet paper.

The net’s long knives quickly came out: “Nothing like rich famous people singing “imagine no possessions” in their mortgage free homes as the rest of society queue at Lidl for broken biscuits,” said one commenter. Said another, “What if it turns out that CRINGING gives people immunity?! They’ll have saved us all!!

Those attention seekers are more than just out of touch. Of all songs, those clueless millionaires, comfortably in their mansions with no worries about money, chose to sing about imagining no heaven (no hell), no countries (no religion) and no possessions. Of course they couldn’t imagine how easily that song could be misinterpreted by patriots, religious people and non-millionaires in times like these. Correction… coming from millionaires in times like these.

NX doesn’t only shove shows down people’s throats. lol Besides posting memes, quotes and trolling HC’s Geralt, they know when to be serious too. This is how people with money can help.

Netflix Creates $100 Million Coronavirus Relief Fund

Netflix has created a $100 million relief fund to help members of the creative community who have been left unemployed and without a way to earn an income during the coronavirus crisis. The streaming giant said the bulk of the funds will go toward supporting laid-off crew members.

Additionally, $15 million of the Netflix fund will go to third parties and non-profits that offer emergency relief to out-of-work crew and cast in countries where there’s a large production base. Of that, Netflix said it will donate $1 million each to the SAG-AFTRA COVID-19 Disaster Fund, the Motion Picture & Television Fund, and the Actors Fund Emergency Assistance in the U.S., as well as $1 million between the AFC and Fondation des Artistes. Sarandos said the company is also working with industry organizations to bolster relief efforts in Europe, Latin America and Asia, where many of its movies and shows are shot.

Netflix will also look at projects it was on production on when filming was suspended to determine if various crew members and workers need assistance.

Swimsuit-clad Amber Heard is caught on surveillance tape cuddling up to Elon Musk in Johnny Depp's private penthouse elevator, as actor accuses her of starting affair with billionaire a month into their marriage

Musk insists the 33-year-old actress had already split from Depp by the time they began seeing one another and their relationship didn't become romantic 'until some time later'.

There are no timestamps or clues as to when the pictures were taken however security guards have previously gone on record to state that Musk visited Heard on multiple occasions before and after she filed for divorce in May 2016.

'Specifically, Ms. Heard asked staff at the Eastern Columbia Building to give her ''friend Elon'' access to the building's parking garage and the penthouse elevator ''late at night,'' and they testified that they did so.

'Building staff would then see Ms. Heard's ''friend Elon'' leaving the building the next morning.'

Amber Heard Might Get Sacked From 'Aquaman 2' Cast Due To Johnny Depp Controversy

The recent reports claim that Warner Bros want to be totally out of all these controversies. They are planning to remove Amber as they do not wish for the bad blood to affect their upcoming project. There is also a possibility that her screen time in the film could be deducted for the same. Similarly, Johnny Depp, owing to the negativity, was fired from his role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

"Remove Amber Heard From Aquaman 2 Petition" Gains Support After Audio Clip Scandal

A few days ago [Feb. 2020], an audio clip was released that had Amber Heard admitting that she was “hitting” her ex-husband Johnny Depp. This audio clip has then led to an online petition that is demanding the removal of Amber Heard from the upcoming Aquaman 2 instalment.

In the audio clip published by a media portal and reportedly given by Johnny Depp, Amber Heard admits of “hitting” Depp. In the audio clip, Depp says, “It's not true. It's not true. I'm not the one who throws pots and whatever the f—ing else at me”. Then Amber Heard says, “I'm sorry that I didn't, uh, uh, hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you, it was not punching you. Babe, you're not punched” She further adds, “I don't know what the motion of my actual hand was, but you're fine, I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you."

Kate Beckinsale

The next morning Harvey called me and asked if I would like to bring my less than two year old daughter to his house for a playdate with his similar aged daughter I said ok. I turned up and he immediately called for his nanny to take the babies to another room to play. I went to go with them and he said “No, you wait here.”

I really freaked out the first time I read that. I thought it was about her baby daughter. I thought that vile man did something to her.

That vile man might have COVID-19. He has all kinds of illness lately.

GG singing about no possessions and countries. That was rich. The day before singing that she posted a pic of her walk-in closet to show that all her possessions don’t fit in a normal closet. And she won’t hesitate to show her support to the Israeli soldiers whenever they have to defend whatever piece of land that Israel considers part of the Israeli country.

This dark period has really flushed out the attention seekers, crybabies and the insensitive jerks. Doutzen Kroes thanked the COVID-19. What? Oprah and Idris Elba think the new virus is Earth’s way of killing what is infecting it and what is infecting Earth is humans. That’s true. But now was not the right time to point that out. Let things stabilize first. You two idiots are comfortable, but many are not. Evangeline Lilly calls COVID-19 a respiratory flu and says that she values freedom more than health. What good is freedom if your stubborn @ss is sick in bed or dead?

A vaccine is expected in November, but Americans need money to buy tickets too. The domestic BO is more important than the worldwide BO.

More Than 16 Million Americans Have Lost Their Jobs In The Past Three Weeks
The U.S. has had eight recessions since 1967, including the one we are almost certainly in right now. Of those, four (1969-70, 1980, 1990-91 and 2001) never reached our current level, over 16 million unemployment claims. For the others, it took a tremendous amount of time to reach that level: between 33 weeks (1981-82) and 51 (1973-75). Even in the Great Recession a decade ago, it took 42 weeks to get 16 million total initial claims. This time around, it has taken three.

Is WB doing anything to help like NX? NX increased the hardship-fund from $100 mil to $150 mil.

I already asked myself and that was a very easy question to answer. So now I’m asking what that big organization is doing for all its employees. All productions are on ice because of the Corona crisis.

Some sick people are happy that the film industry has collapsed and that the overpaid actors and actresses are out of work. lol The collapse affects everybody but the overpaid actors and actresses. They will get paid. They might get paid what’s in their contract and insurance money because production will take longer than planned.

Reopening Hollywood: From Insurance To Testing, Crowd Scenes & Craft Services, Here Are The Pandemic Problems Studios Are Trying To Solve Before The Restart

Getting up and running again in this brave new world is going to be very difficult to navigate. For one thing, insurers are unlikely to cover productions for COVID-19 cases when business resumes, according to multiple sources in the know. Producers all over filed multimillion-dollar claims triggered when civil authorities — governments — prevented filming from continuing and forcing production shutdowns. When the business starts up, that will now be considered an identified risk, and insurers will not cover it, sources said, just as CDC is warning of a second coronavirus wave.

Very stupid to think that the film industry won’t reopen again. The pandemic won’t last forever. Productions will continue as soon as it’s over or might find a safe way to continue during the pandemic. Cast and crew can agree that, after two weeks isolation in a special hotel, nobody will leave the set. lol It will be like on campus, but with stricter rules. Nobody is allowed in or out. Everything delivered will be disinfected. lol

Reopening Hollywood: From Insurance To Testing, Crowd Scenes & Craft Services, Here Are The Pandemic Problems Studios Are Trying To Solve Before The Restart

We are still months away from cameras rolling — studios’ most optimistic projections are for July-August production restarts, and the more realistic ones are aiming to be up and running by September. 

We hear some studio facilities are considering not allowing filming for two months after the state quarantine is over because of insurance concerns.

Maybe we won’t have to wait till November. The vaccine ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 could be ready as soon as September.

How did they end up with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19? Eyes close hit a few random keys on the keyboard and then add CoV-19? lol

So I watched Cats last night, and honestly thought @robertdowneyjr was in it 😂

And regards to the movie. go down the @sethrogen route, I'm sure this movie is different when high.

Sadly if you experience it like I did, the movie feels like 4hrs of 'I don't know why I'm doing this but it's too late to stop 😂

They edited out all the buttholes before the film was released, I can see why, the butt zoom ins in this movie are ridiculous and frequent.

People want them to release the #buttholeCut

I recommended a drinking game for a shot everytime they say cat, I take back the drinking game idea You'd definitely die #cats

Not that I know of.

I have mixed feelings about a rushed vaccine. Four months to see if it doesn’t have any unwanted side effects. Is that enough? Safety first. That’s why most things are closed. A rushed vaccine will put safety on second place, because we need to go back to normal to save the economy. Oh boy.
