‘“San Andreas,” which despite being about an earthquake in California was filmed mostly in Australia.’
Also wasn’t all that good.
California today is the world Hollyweirdos wanted and created. Now they’re fleeing it and spreading their contagion to cheaper locales.
Don’t worry, you’ll all be replaced by Ai soon.
They voted for it. Made their bed...
Hard to make money when your costs are ridiculously high and you create a product that few will pay to watch.
Come on everybody, sing along. “Look for the union label...”
I remember this from Paul Harvey. Hollywood was once a Christian preserve filled with religious people and churches.
‘Walk of Faith’ tour tells tale of Hollywood’s Christian beginnings
LOS ANGELES (RNS) — The place sometimes known as ‘Hollywood Babylon’ was founded as a preserve of an abstinent Christian lifestyle.
...In 1887, when the name Hollywood first appeared on an official document, and four years after Daeida and Harvey Wilcox, who had made a fortune in real estate in Topeka, Kan., moved to Los Angeles.
The couple bought 120 acres centered at what would become the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, and after Harvey’s death and Daeida’s subsequent remarriage, Daeida began creating her vision of a Christian preserve. On Nov. 14, 1903, Hollywood elected to become an official city by a narrow vote — Daeida, as a woman, was unable to participate.

The first laws passed by the town involved bans on liquor, pool halls, bowling alleys, riding bicycles on sidewalks, the use of firearms and speeding. In 1905, the Los Angeles Times described it as a place where “the saloon and its kindred evils are unknown.”
Instead, it was filled with churches that had taken up Daeida’s offer of free land, regardless of denomination. After growing tired of traveling to neighboring Colegrove to attend her Episcopal church, Daeida gave land along Hollywood Boulevard for St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, which has since moved a few blocks off the boulevard.
The St. Stephen’s former site is now occupied by a family-owned restaurant named Juicy Wingz.
By 1910, Daeida’s town of 500 had expanded to about 5,000, and water scarcity forced Hollywood to incorporate into the booming city of Los Angeles. The detested saloons followed soon after, and by the time Daeida died in 1914, her vision was doomed as well.

All jobs and good people need to leave that crap hole state.
“I more or less have given my career, my life, to this industry,” said Viers, a 48-year-old father of two whose family lost its house in Altadena, Calif., during this year’s wildfires. “It just really hurts.”
Wow man, I felt the same way when IBM made us train our foreign replacements before laying us off. Suck it up.
Detroit did it to themselves by building cars no one wanted.
Japan came in w Toyota and Honda damaging forever Detroit.
Hollywood is doing the same thing with movies.
Creating something no one wants.
There’s no imagination or innovation anymore. Everything is either another boring ‘action’ movie, a remake or sequel, a preachy leftist film, a disaster film in which the disaster is caused by global warming somehow, a movie about a serial killer, or is an R movie that tries to be shocking or provocative - but is actually just trashy and boring, etc. etc.
There are so many wonderful things in life that could be made into amazing movies - but that would require making art instead of preaching an agenda.

Hollywood jobs are the jobs I don’t mind seeing AI take. All indications are they are extremely vulnerable to AI competition. Let’s see: $100 million to make a movie with actors and sets or pay someone $10,000 to write a series of prompts to generate a movie with AI. If I was Hollywood, I’d be scared to death.
In the 1960s, also with television.
From the 1990s onward, first run Hollywood movies compete with every movie ever made.
they voted to offshore everyone else’s livelihood, but sounds like they don’t like it very much when it happens to them ... maybe they shouldn’t have always voted for all of those “progressives” for all of those decades ... now it’s too late, though perhaps they can learn to code or mine coal ...
