What is going on in Hollywood? Have they lost their collective minds?
Metallicman ^ | 25JUL19 | editorial staff

Here, I argue that Hollywood is not using their innate and basic movie-making skills when pandering to their progressive causes. I argue that not only are they losing money in the process, but they are alienating their viewership base. I thus offer some suggestions to this end to prevent a hemorrhaging of the Hollywood profit model.

Ah. Hollywood.

So famous, and so taken for granted.

The more that I think about it, the more that I am convinced. Indeed, I am convinced that those in Hollywood have found a new profit model. As, it seems, the movies that they are releasing today do not follow the traditional profit model.

Traditional Hollywood Profit Model You know; you make a good movie, and people pay to watch it. If the movie is really good you get rich. If the movie is poor, you lose money.

Today, however, it seems that there is a totally different profit model being followed.

Contemporaneous Hollywood Profit Model Some wealthy oligarch gives you an enormous sum of money to promote some sort of social justice cause and you pocket the money. Whether the movie is popular or not has no bearing on the profit motive.

Yeah. That’s pretty much it. Isn’t it?

Hollywood has become a SJW propaganda arm. Listen to me.

It’s like a nightmare that no matter how hard you try to run, it never ends. It’s like wack-a-mole. As soon as you hear about one bout of obscenity, there pops up another. Ugh!

License To Drive, the comedy that starred the two Coreys (Haim and Feldman) and a young Heather Graham in 1988, is being rebooted with female leads thanks to producer John Davis and 20th Century Fox.

These kinds of reports flow pretty hard and fast. Yet, I wonder. Just who

Inasmuch as “G-rated” movies generally make $$$$$$$$$$$$$ & “preachy” SJW movies often lose money (or make little profit), you would think that the bean-counters in Holly-WEIRD would eventually get the message.

IMO, what they have in surplus is SELF-IMPORTANCE, unspeakable ARROGANCE & HUBRIS.

G is great bit i”m not 6 and this isnt 1940 :)

The other ratings have their places and can make a fortune also.

The exorcist was an R all the way, yet even with some horrific scenes that were very offensive, it drove folks back to church by the bushels.

Go figure :)

I do like to see G or PG with mu niece.

If Toy Storu shows were G, then I see them alone too :)

I wonder what rating All About Eve and Mildred Pierce recieved.

Loved those 2.

And yet I am straight:)

It’s blatantly apparent as these Anti-American Leftists wormed their way into controlling many corporations, big businesses and other for profit institutions, like Hollywood; their #1 priority went from making money, to making propaganda and promoting their Leftist agenda, regardless what it does to the bottom line.

Like parasites sucking the life blood out of a body, they drain it till it dies, and then move to another host, and start the possess all over again. These businesses are just platforms and tools used to advance their agenda. Their real job is to disseminate their propaganda by any means necessary.

Like the racial manipulation in movies like James Bond. If the movie flops, and the 007 movie series crumbles to dust, never to be seen again; fine with them, they accomplished their mission of destroying another white Western institution.

I pretty much agree with everything you said and this little Freudian slip is also true. They do possess the host body before destroying it and moving on.

And you’re a guy right?

I’m all over the place with what I like.

Of Human Bondage, Armageddon, Jane Eyre, Rosemary’s Baby, Jezebel, Star Wars, Baby Jane, Creed... :)

As for music, I’ll have Guns N Roses followed by Donna Summers followed by ACDC followed by Streisand (sorry) followe by Led Zeppelin followed by The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack.

I’m odd :)

They must think they’re too big and “beautiful” to fail.

The counsel of Hollywood is lust of the eyes and pride of life. There is reference to their ilk in Psalm 1:1. Of course, they are invited to REPENT!

" What is going on in Hollywood? Have they lost their collective minds?"

To answer that question in the affirmative would incorrectly presume that they had minds to begin with.

ALL OF THE HOLLYWOOD PEDOPHILES AND PERVS ARE PANICKING.

Simple as that.

I mean, look at Cher. What twisted her daughter into that pitiful creature? It wasn't reruns of Opra.

Well, maybe some of it.

“...you would think that the bean-counters in Holly-WEIRD would eventually get the message.

I read an article some years ago comparing the box-office take between high budget action movies and family movies. Action movies rely on “action” while family movies rely on plot, story, emotional investment by the audience. The family movies, on average, made significantly more money than the action movies. Yet Hollywood preferred to make big budget, higher risk action movies over family fare. I suspect that was because of ego. An actor would rather be James Bond (the male) than Citizen Kane.

People who understand the anti-American Zeitgeist that exists in that sh*thole called Hollywood, and yet spend their hard-earned money at movie theaters need to wake the hell up.
