I know longer worry (or care) about HOLLYWOOD. Their entire business model is going the way of the “buggy whip”.
Hollywood was once in the entertainment business. They are now in the social engineering business i.e. propaganda.
Movie theaters were also once in the entertainment business now they are overpriced “restaurants” selling stale popcorn, sugar, fizzie drinks, and overcooked hot dogs on stale buns, all at inflated prices.
Hollywood has suffered many wounds (most self inflicted) but the killing blow will come from something almost everyone had today, access to the internet and free (or low cost) content.
We recently “cut the cord” and have internet access only, and a new “smart tv”. With access to prime, and a couple of subscriptions we have access to more “entertainment” then we will ever be able to “consume”.
Thousands of old TV shows and movies are available. All made before Hollywood was infected with DEI.
RIP Hollywood, we will not miss you.
And with AI and CGI, who needs actors or studios or ‘on-location’ anymore. Todays game programmers can write stories and program a movie instead of a game, or make the movie a game...
Even TV is becoming the same way...The “new” Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum P.I. for instance...
***Thousands of old TV shows and movies are available.****
Sadly so many good add free movie channels (IFC, Sundance, AMC) now show only old TV sitcoms over and over again. I still miss my Samurai Saturdays on IFC.
TCM is the only one I watch any more and it is beginning to show too many modern movies.
In the 1950s a TV show lasted 25 minutes with 5 minutes of commercials cut into it. That is 5 minutes of show for 1 minute of advertisements.
Today it is 2 minutes of show and one minute of advertisements. And the advertisements are packed together you cannot tell what is actually being sold.
