I imagine the leftist film and television unions don’t help when it comes to filming in Hollyweird either.

Matthew McConaughey is evidence that movies are ‘done’. He is appearing in an auto ad and probably getting paid a ton of money.

Trying to come up with a list of ‘stars’ who have seen the light and are selling stuff on TV for a living instead of acting in movies that don’t make it.

Help me out;)

Hollywood will never figure that out because everything is about them. What we want means nothing to them. It’s all about them, because they are what there is in their minds.

Morons picking the movies to be made

There is a great clip of Frank Zappa on youtube explaining how the music business went bad. It wasn't political like Hollywood but it was oddly similar.

Paraphrasing: "The music industry used to be run by old guys in suits. They didn't understand Rock and Roll. And they knew that they didn't understand it. So they took chances: 'I don't know if it's any good, but let's put it out and see!' And we got a lot of great music out of that. But then young kids got to run the music business. They were big fans of Rock. They knew what they liked. And they only supported new bands if the new bands sounded like the old bands. And that's how it all turned to crap. They wouldn't take chances, because they already "knew" what was going to make money."

Hollywood remakes are the same deal. Plus the stupid politics.

Almost nothing is “working,”

I guess the 75th remake of a comic book movie may not be filling seats anymore.

Have you watched one of these? They appeal to someone with the emotional maturity of a 9 year old.

Do a documentary on Nathan B. Forrest and tell the truth. It will be as long lasting and watched as was “Midway”. They won’t do it because it is not PC and doesn’t make sense to the lefties.

“It amazes me that Hollywood has never figured that out.”

I don’t think they are capable of figuring it out, the mentally ill will never get it.

I don’t trashy movies will stop until they completely falter financially and taken over by someone that does represent American values.

The big money stars don’t see their replacements on the horizon. As computer processors improve, animation software will be used more often in Hollywood films. The realism will only improve. It WILL one day entirely replace actors. A bunch of geeky nerds will be film stars behind the scenes. No more demands, no more tantrums and fits. No more location filming - everything can be done in processing. No more percentages of the gross. The era of the mansion dwelling self centered actor is coming to an end.

In fact, it may also begin the resurrection of famous old actors of bygone eras. New to technology is Adobe VoCo - they consider it Photoshop for sound. After sampling a subject’s voice, changes can be made by keyboard. Imagine new films by Bogart or Brando. Here’s a look at the introduction of VoCo.

From what I have seen, this will known as the “year of the re/pre-everything.”

Every movie is a sequel, prequel, reboot, remake or adaptation of something already made.

Hollywood (and NY) are basically saying: we have run out of ideas and/or the few ideas we Do have are from people we are no longer able to virtue-signal past.

We have enough catalog to keep me going for the rest of my life if they never make another movie. Millennials and later are already making their own movies and creating virtual characters in MMOGs.

Big year, 2017: end of liberal blank check, end of NFL, end of Hollywood.

The welfare class doesn’t go to the movies.

Hollywood has sided with the communist enemy, the CPUSA and its front group the Democratic party.

FEDGOV can’t make us go to the movies or watch the NFL.

Communists RAUS!

>> The less bucks the stars have to throw at the democrats the better. Eat that Dinero.

Moreover, Hollywood $$$ don’t change things anymore, so a diminishing money pile + clear guidance that it doesn’t help the Hollywood elite’s commie causes = dnc going out of business sale.
