GO FOR IT Hollywood! It is the only way back.

In that spirit, I will suggest one sure blockbuster.

Dedicate an entire two-hour feature film to showing a series of smug Hollywood leftists doing what they do best: smirking. Call the film "Progressive Joy." No dialog needed! It's the film the country yearns to see! The superior class showing exactly what it thinks of the American vermin formerly called "the audience."

Actually, three hours would be better. Or eight.

What a shame. Hollywood is dead.

As seniors we quit going years ago, night blind, to loud, even without hearing aids, rowdy kids, cell phones ringing, not worth it. Can’t hit pause for Potty break.

...lefties have plenty of money they can hold out for a very long time...

What about all the craft trade workers needed to produce a movie? It is about a lot more than the people on the credits screen.

And, to that point: many of these stars and other creatives put their money into real estate. Who is going to buy it,now? I see headlines constantly about mansions and elite properties selling for way less than ask or turned into rentals, where there are many more hands on the revenue stream.

The lifestyles at issue demand a constant revenue stream. They pay the salaries of many more average people than they return profit to the principals. The municipalities miss out on the real estate taxes, which are lower when the property sells in foreclosure or at a loss. Services are starved of clients and it becomes an excrement snowball rolling downhill.

China owns the distribution and likely has a huge stake in the production, so no tears from me. I watch very little Hollywood product. Right now, I’m watching a UK production series from 2016. DH prefers reruns from the 90s and for some reason, likes the British baking competitions.

I do feel for the skilled craftsmen. If I’d had a chance, I would have loved to have worked in a cutting-edge prop studio. It always looked like great fun.

Good points. Either way, it looks like in around 3 months the vaccine will be widely available, so even the commie rats won’t be able to keep everything shut down after that.

Isn’t that about the time that the last original thought was made into a movie? Also, every movie wasn’t a skin flick back then. Also, they didn’t have preschoolers cursing like career Navy men.

You'd have to go back further than that. Anything from Three's Company to Porky's was pretty sleazy.

The difference today is the constant pushing of the left-wing political agenda down the throats of the public.

So you want to relegate millions in the media industry to working minimum wage subsistence jobs instead?
