Not for the thousands of people who work in the industry who aren’t leftist actors and producers though.

Hollywood hasn’t produced more than a couple of movies a year that I consider worth seeing in a movie theater.

It has always been thus.

Soon it’ll be deep fakes computer cgi graphics replacing these hollyweird creeps. Notice how the DC comic series is mostly producing cartoon movies these days compared to the Marvel series?

Maybe...but the overall effect of the entertainment industry is to drag a state leftward.

I live in Atlanta and the political influence of everyone in the entertainment industry has certainly been felt here. I could care less if they all go away. They can make a living doing something else.

We want new on display, and we want nipple.

I think it will take more, and far better, than that. If that’s what you want, the Internet can give you whatever it is that you want/“need”. For those of us who want actual entertainment, decent plots, dialogue, acting, and themes, Hollywood is going to have to do something more than ANOTHER stupid superhero soy-boy comic book movie, or ANOTHER woke, steaming pile of Obama, lecturing us all about how awful we are.

Ahhh yes, the obligatory boob shot.

Very prominent in the late 70 early 80 films.

Presisely, and young starlets in the classic 40s and 50s films always wore sheer blouses with plunging necklines and pointy breastesses. Stunning.

That put people in the seats, you betcha, 70s sweaters too, with some bouncing Berry nudie action to add some spice to boot.

And no more sportsbras! They should be banned from film!

I’m trying to make the world a better place here

Same here.

Except for the guests and most hosts, which have succumbed to PC, TCM has many very good showings.

“I cried my little eyes out.”

I guess this proves we can do without professional sports narcissists and those of the same mindset who work in hollywierd.

We did not miss either at all and can do without them just fine.

The most horrible American movie industry can kiss my ass and go bankrupt.
Worthless bunch of liberal horse crap they be.

They haven't produced anything worth paying to watch, knowing that they support leftists causes and push the false narrative against President Trump.
