At least part of the problem is that Hollywood doesn’t make many good movies.

Roger that. I've enjoyed movies all my life but everything coming out is the same rehashed pablum (comic book movies, sequels) or preachy liberal art house films. For the last decade my preferred option has been to rent flicks, then I realized I wasn't finishing any of the movies I rented. I'd get bored and put it on pause after about a half hour, figuring I'd get back to it, but I never did. Even now the last movie I can recall that kept my interest from beginning to end was that movie about the conscientious objector in WWII who refused to carry a rifle but won the CMH for his bravery as a medic during the Pacific campaign.

What Hollywood needs is more black writers, more illegal producers, more lesbian directors and more fat obnoxious actors and actresses preferably black and Hispanic. That’s the recipe of success. I won’t go to a movie until that happens.

universally loved Black Panther?
163 people killed. So if Hollywood gives out awards to this bloodfest then they are being hypocrites yet again.

They don't make good movies but they do make some that are entertaining, turn off the brain fun. But those aren't going to get any awards. The Rock is never going to get an Oscar but his movies make big time box office. On the other hand, the ones that do get awards are usually PC fare that nobody went to and never will (yeah I'm lookin' at you "Ten Years a Slave").
