no such thing as a collective mind ...

Depends on how it’s defined.

Here’s a story from a director friend.

He knows these two guys who have had a good track record with kids shows. They went to Amazon to pitch their latest. I’ve seen the proposal. It’s got some interesting marketing tweaks, but otherwise, it’s a kids show.

The woman they pitched to said “We’re not accepting anything from white males. The era of Aryan supremacy is over.” (Quote!)

She then went on to tell about Amazon’s planned kids shows, every one of which featured homosexual/lesbian kids.

Hollywood is made up of substance abusers and the mentally ill. Which helps with acting but kills your logic.

Its my understanding that the money is now made in the foreign markets, the domestic market not so much.

In the 30s, Hollywood kissed Hitler’s ass, because they wanted to keep their access to the German film market.

I realized all this in the early 1990’s. But welcome to the party anyway pal. You cannot pay me to watch these things nowadays. The moving jittery camera trick should have been the clue that a good product was not priority number one. Anyone who moves their head like that needs to see a doctor. Lol.

That’s a great statement.

Some might contain a little or a lot more strong language than we’d like, and I wonder if Goodfellas and Casino and Scarface would have really suffered at all without 1000 F bombs among them.

But a good movie is a good movie.

In my opinion, and i’m far from a puritan, those movies would have been just as good without 1000 F words.

funny thing is I knew a number of gangsters and they didn’t curse NEARLY that much, some not at all

I'm glad you're still around, Oatmeal.

Seems like fewer mental defectives can access the internet these days.

Clever of you to manage it.

It’s just the truth.

I knew a lot of connected guys and I NEVER remember them cursing like that.

They cursed. But not every third word. Not even close.

the older guys didn’t curse at all if women were around.

They’d beat someone with a bat with little provocation, but not curse lol

I would not be surprised that there is a remake with an all female cast of “Zulu Dawn” and “Zulu”.

“Zulu” 1964 Movie - Final Battle
