"Like I told my last wife,
That's understandable. What happened to her? Did she commit suicide?
It's a Kurt Russell quote from the lead character he played in the movie "Big Trouble in Little China".
As to my marital status, I have been happily married for more than 30 years and we still love each other - I'm mentioning this just in case you
believe it is somehow relevant to the topic.
What I am suggesting, relevant to the topic, is that Kurt Russell the actor, probably doesn't give a damn about 'wokeness' in movies.
He got his start in moves with Disney.
He has appeared in 'woke' classics such as "Silkwood", "Vanilla Sky" and "Miracle".
He also has contributed to various Marvel projects which have had strong DEI messages.
In recent films, twice, he has been Santa Claus and has appeared in the most recent three "Fast and Furious" films.
He also acted in other films such as "Dark Blue" about corrupt cops (in the timeframe of the Rodney King verdict).
My guess is that the linked 'ET style promo video' has little to do with Kurt Russel himself, or even the body of Russell's work, but is cobbled
together from old movie and TV footage by some publicist who wants to promote the recently completed movie
"
The Rivals of Amziah King" to the 'conservatives' among the US public.
