Once again, we see the entertainment world colliding with celebrity hype, and who better to lead the charge than Ringo Starr? While the mainstream media fluffs its feathers over “peace and love,” outlets like CNN and even BuzzFeed are absolutely drooling over Starr’s glowing review of Barry Keoghan—who, let’s not forget, hasn’t even graced the screen as Ringo yet! When did we become so starry-eyed that we ignore the glaring absence of actual evidence? This kind of coverage is a classic case of narrative-pushing, where the film’s success is guaranteed by celebrity endorsement before a single frame has even rolled. Talk about establishment bias!

Why are we buying into this manufactured hype? Ringo’s birthday bash is less about celebrating a rock legend and more about perpetuating a narrative that promotes the latest Hollywood creation. The corporate media is reeking with desperation, attempting to build buzz for a movie that might not even deliver. Meanwhile, Fox News would probably spin this whole event as an example of “old school meeting new school,” when in reality it feels more like a desperate bid to cobble over Hollywood’s crumbling façade of originality.

In an era where celebrity opinions are treated like Gospel, it’s about time we take a step back and view this with skepticism. Are we really going to applaud a film before it hits the theaters based solely on a beloved personality’s endorsement? We need to demand substance over style and stop allowing these narratives to dictate our opinions before we’ve even seen the film.
