I know this is supposed to satire.
However it is amazing close to truth.

Lol! Why is this from the Babylon Bee, it’s absolutely true! Seriously, there are so many entertainment options these days the the vast majority of people probably haven’t even noticed there is a strike.

Boy, ain't that the truth.

The only “Hollywood” movie I really want to see this year is Dune 2, and that’s not affected by the writer’s strike so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anything being released now has been completed for some time. The crunch will come when no tv shows can launch or roll out new seasons this fall. For movies, the strike will affect 2024 and 2025 releases.

I’ve watched virtually no tv (except occasional live sports) for 30 years or more. There’s only one current series in which I have even the slightest interest. I do like movies and hope the strike and ensuing drought aren’t too long.

That said, this is an opportunity for foreign films and independent producers to make inroads. I noted with interest that A24 is not a member of the Borg, and A24 productions are continuing. I don’t have a list of other indies who are also moving ahead, but I will give them a generic cheer and watch for whatever they can come up with. SAG-AFTRA is also now granting waivers to indies to let them proceed. Good.The Borg (basically the streamers) is the problem.

The streamers overextended and bought most of the big legacy studios in the process. They upended the whole business model of everyone in the industry and now, staggering under unsustainable debt incurred when they were all chasing growth at any cost, they are now discovering that streaming isn’t generating anything close to the revenues they need. They’re selling off assets, squeezing the creatives, raising subscription prices, and bringing back ads. Disney, Amazon, Netflix, Warner Media, Apple, etc. all made the same blunder. Groupthink.

The problem is that they swallowed most of the legacy studios and put the theaters in a world of hurt. The Borg needs to die, but it’s going to take a lot of quality players down at the same time.

Oh no, you mean a remake of Gilligan’s Island (Skipper and Gillian are gay and Gillian underage, The Millionaire and his spouse are looking for another ‘Epstein Island’, the movie star is a porn star, the professor is a scientist who is a MAGA RADICAL and Mary Ann is a normal American), Father knows Best (2 gay dads with a gay son), My Three Sons (a widowed dad with 3 sons (1 normal, 1 trans and 1 a teen baby) and The Brady Bunch (2 gay dads got married) are not going to show up in the fall? I wanted to see them...🤓

Who’s going to write and act in Rambo XXIV?

Who’s going to make another copycat of the 60’s, 70’s movie?

I’ve never understood why someone would get paid for writing a new version of an old movie.

Will actresses still be able to afford African pet children and make them trannies?

Would be great if the cable companies start importing some UK channels.

Much better any way.
