Time for Follywood to stop feeding us their sewage and produce genuine good material. I won’t be going to the movie cinemas anytime soon....call it a personal boycott of the industry. I already pay a monthly fee for sewage services.
Hollyweird would’ve been bankrupt a decade ago if the copyrighted works of old that they continue to profit from had lapsed into the public domain AS WAS AGREED at the time of creation and sponsorship.
They have “classics” made by dead people that still bring in the dollars on cable, broadcast tv, home video, and limited theatrical rerlease, plus merchandising.
There aren’t as many “classics” from the past 40 years. The goal today is make your money back in the first week or bury it.
The last writer’s strike brought us ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ and ‘Cops’. I suspect the next crop of replacement drivel won’t be as ‘cultured’. Something for the people cheering for the disjointedness of American culture to keep in mind.
There was a period when ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ was in public domain and it proliferated in cheap nearly unwatchable prints. The studios do the best job of keeping those old films in good shape.
Foreign countries get American movies and unfortunately many people there relate American way of life from Hollyweird themes and productions. A lot of anti-Americanism (but not all)are a result of the exported trash from modern Hollywood movies produced often by the demented, twisted minds of liberalism.
As if there’s been much “culture” (assuming you mean GOOD culture) from Hollywierd of late anyway.
This last year was one of the best for American movies in a while.
When many of our kids deem it cool to act, talk, dress and imitate the trash-talking, obnoxious music of gangsta hip-hop thugs Hollyweird gets some of the blame in glorifying and pushing this crap on our kids to make a $$. Plenty of blame to go around concerning the deviants vying to corrupt our children but where are the liberal democrat voices on this matter?
This striker does nothing to slow down the writing and recording of Gangsta Rap.
Yes there are looney tunes in Hollywood and communists/ socialists a plenty hmmmmm kind of like our Congress and Senate or any other business across our country.
Just because of a handful of total left America hating liberals there is no way I want Hollywood to die out.
I love the History Channel, good movies and yes my favorite TV shows.
My cousin works in Hollywood, not an actor but he builds sets and he and others he knows that work with him are strong conservatives.
Something else interesting in comparison, he and his friends are more consrevative then the rino's here at FR wanting to vote for Rudy. LMAO I would hate to see a thread that said how happy a person would be to shut down FR just because of some stupid rino's on here wanting Rudy for President.
Just something to think about
Films and TV shows will still get made just without the added burden of Hollywood flavored socialism and anti-Americanism.
I wouldn't count on it being any more morally uplifting though, if the internet is any example. Choices will abound, though.
Where do you get off spreading common sense around.
It will still be the same people making films regardless of how they are distributed and financed.
Amen! New Media energy signals the dawn of an exciting era of creativity in America. Who really knows where it will go?
Name the good ones. I’m just curious whether or not I agree!!
Zodiac, Margot At the Wedding, There Will Be Blood and probably others I haven’t seen yet.
It’s funny - I had actually not heard of any of those movies. Granted, I usually only get to see kid-friendly movies. But honestly, all I’ve seen promoted here has turned me off so hard that I gave up looking.
