It wanted access to China’s market, until China cut them off because they could now produce quality movies.

They’re nuts. They’ve lost billions of dollars through wrecking formerly gold mine franchises with their wokeness.

One problem with Snow White was they cast something of a Mexican (or whatever she is) puta in the role. No suburban mom wants to dress her little 8 year old princess like a puta.

Landman is a good show. Wish they drop Tommy’s wife and daughter.

The Madison has beauitul scenery but I didn’t like the characters.

Yellowstone started to fall apart after the second or third season. The last half of its final season was horrible.

Why is Matt Damon always being cast in roles he’s unsuited for... He’s not Greek... He’s from Bawst-n.

The Chosen has had no nominations or awards from hollywierd.

it’s had more then 300 MILLION viewers.

The acting is superb and has resulted in many onions diced.

Those ‘awards’ are irrelevant. They are controlled by the left as the carrot to chase.
disregard and focus on real story telling.

That’s all that matters.

To fix one of these studios, you would have to go in with a flamethrower and rip them down stem to stern. Fire everybody. The directors, the actors, the writers, the executives, everybody.

Until one of the CEOs - with the board’s full backing - does that the disease of wokeness will not be cured. The people are the policy.

These are Emmies, right?

Why are movies talked about...Snow White and Supergirl?

I don’t watch broadcast tv so I no longer know...

The Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, Grammy Awards, Tony Awards, etc, etc are all just self back pats. They vote for their favorite within their own circle and the public thinks that it is wonderful. I don’t watch any of it…

I’m sure that realtors have a convention where they all vote on who is the best agent, but we’re not expected to watch it on TV and/or care…

I’ve found if critics love something then it’s obviously something I’d never watch.

The Entertainment Business is not very entertaining and it doesn’t run itself like a real business. I figure it’s some form of money-laundering system for drugs, porn, politics or human trafficking.

...and Sunday NFL football, not because those stories were polished for an awards committee, but because they respected the audience enough to tell a straight story about honor, effort, and consequence.

Not sure why he included the NFL in the list. It is still a meritocracy, of course, but it's just as woke and preachy as Disney.

The studios spend a quarter-billion dollars on movies engineered to please that same circle, plus the activist critics who mistake a lecture for a plot. Both have stopped serving the people buying the ticket or clicking play. I have spent 30 years in investment management studying management teams who confuse motion with progress. A CEO who spends shareholder money to impress the board instead of the customer gets fired inside a fiscal quarter. A studio executive who does the same keeps his office, his parking spot, and his write-up in Deadline.

A succinct summary.

Hollywood continues to insist on making leftwing ideological films that everyone hates. Then they hand out awards to each other for making this putrid dreck that nobody wants. Meanwhile they lose billions. I, for one, cheer for Hollywood's utter demise.

It’s the Emmys. Not the People’s Choice Awards. I like Taylor Sheridan shows. But they ain’t the best at... well anything frankly. They’re entertaining, but they’re Doritos. You don’t give awards to Doritos. We all eat Doritos, but nobody brags about the bag Doritos they ate on that trip. Sheridan is very good at making junk food TV, it’ll keep you entertained, but it has no meaning, and goes away without leaving much of an impression. They don’t deserve awards, they don’t get awards, and I’m sure he and his bank account are unconcerned.

With rare exception, Hollyweird doesn’t produce anything original and worth watching any more. They’ve spent 20 years producing a ceaseless barrage of tawdry, tasteless and talentless vampire or zombie movies. And for the last 10 they’ve also made a steady stream of movies based on (non-canon) comic book characters with lots of WOKEness and carbonphobia mixed in.

They left out The Odyssey starring the Mexican born Kenyan Lupita Nyong’o - all the makings of the next big woke money loser. They might have done better casting Tilly Norwood.

Brilliant line.

A very juicy essay, vastly on point.
