Nolte: David Mamet Ridicules ‘Garbage’ DEI as ‘Fascist Totalitarianism
Mamet was at the festival to talk about his recently released Hollywood memoir Everywhere an Oink Oink (my review is here), the far-left Los Angeles Times wrote.
The playwright and screenwriter’s latest “gripe,” wrote the Times, is those stupid “diversity rules that the Academy of Motion Pictures instituted for Oscar-eligible films to help advance the representation of LGBTQ+, women, ethnic minorities and disabled people.”
The idea that the Academy “can’t give you a stupid fucking statue unless you have seven percent of this, eight percent of that … it’s intrusive,” Mamet said.

“The [film industry] has little business improving everybody’s racial understanding as does the fire department,” he added. Creatively, he said, “there’s no room for individual initiative.”
After the fascist Times tut-tutted Mamet for his use of the “outdated term ‘transsexuals,'” we’re told he is no fan of gender-neutral toilets. “It politicizes the human excretory function,” he said to a delighted packed house. There were “guffaws.”
Currently, Mamet sees the film industry as one in the late stages of the “growth, maturity, decay, and death” cycle that “happens to everything that’s organic.”
It’s funny how DEI doesn’t include older folks who have been discriminated against in the movie industry since it first became a movie industry.
How broken is Hollywood today? How close to the “death” part of the cycle? Three new wide releases were ranked over the weekend: Something called Abigail, something called The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and something called Spy x Family Code: White. All three movies combined grossed around $25 million total. And here’s what the sycophants at Deadline blamed this breathtaking failure on:
And yet, David Mamet, the man who wrote The Verdict, The Untouchables, House of Games, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Spanish Prisoner, The Edge, Wag the Dog, Ronin, and Heist, can’t get work.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go gay-marry my Blu-ray collection.
