As a millennial, I enjoy the experience of a night out at the movies and a bag of popcorn, but I don’t like 90% of what Hollywood vomits up. It’s all “woke” superheroes, raunchy comedies, dramas that assume the audience is dumber than dirt, etc. And in terms of political slant, it’s all leftist politics inserted in the most absurd of ways. If Frozen 2 has Elsa stop, turn to the audience, and say, “(BLEEP) Trump!”, no one here will be the least bit surprised.
This is very different from the better ages of Hollywood. It’s not just that there were more moderates and conservatives that had voices in that industry back then. The leftists of that day were better thinkers than the crazy folks of today. If they wanted to include a message, it would be done so with a bit of craft. And many actors had totally messed up private lives, but people weren’t exposed to it 24/7 like we are today.
Thank God for TCM.
In addition to the obvious fact that Hollywood is a highly-left biased entity that routinely insults Americans, Christians, men, etc., there is also the factor that Hollywood is full of bumbling incompetents who don’t have the slightest inkling how the real world works, and so make movies with instance after instance of ridiculousness that are jarring to anyone with half a brain.
What is most peculiar about left-wingers, when it comes to movies, is that they will, at the same time, say “Lolollllzz it’s just a movie!” when confronted with blatant technical inaccuracies or impossibilities in a movie, but will embrace the message completely, as if they are watching real life play out. So if the movie shows one woman slaughtering 20 white male Christians with her bare hands because they were trying to rape her, the leftwing nutbag will say “So what if she kicked 20 guys’ asses! It’s just a movie” while also saying “See? White male Christians are all rapists!” While this demographic is famous for its cognitive dissonance, when it comes to movies, they exceed even the grandest expectations.
That said, I am often disappointed in my fellow conservatives in that so many still insist on feeding the beast - they subscribe to cable, Netflix, whatever, and attend movies regularly. I do watch some movies, myself, but almost never in a way that results in any money finding its way into the pocket of Hollywood. How that is done will be left as an exercise for the reader.
Maybe if they made more movies that sane people would want to see, the numbers would be different.
Back in the ‘80s I went to three movies a week, on average. In the 90s it was maybe one a week. in the 00s it was maybe three a year. in the 10s it has been zero; There just haven’t been many movies that I was even slightly interested. in. And those few, I could wait until they came out on regular TV, or buy the DVD
I haven’t gone to a movie in five or six years. Maybe. I’d rather watch something at home, which is much more comfortable.
“Democrats go to the movies twice as much as Republicans, a new study finds. “
Why was this study deemed necessary and who paid for it?
Of course. It’s where they get their ‘education’
Someone got a federal grant for this “study?”
Facepalm/
Of course they do... Movies and TV any more are nothing more than left wing indoctrination garbage for the most part...
In the last 20 years, the only movie I saw at the theater was American Sniper.
Especially now.
So the boycott is solid then?
The last time I had the pleasure
of going to a movie theater, I
sat down in a seat that had a coke
spilled in it, the kid sitting
behind my wife kept stepping on
her long hair, and after the movie,
we went out to the parking lot to go
home, only to discover someone had
stolen my pickup. 2005 in Katy, Texas.
This does not surprise me.
Democrats live in fantasy far more than Republicans.
