"The movie business is over," Diller said in an exclusive interview with NPR on the sidelines of the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference, a media and technology conference in Idaho. "The movie business as before is finished and will never come back."

Good, they have only produced crap for years.
So long, suckers. Take cable TV with your sorry A$$..
Last good movie I saw was “Deadpool”.
They killed its future with “Deadpool 2” and all the PC nonsense.
Wishful thinking. Biden will fund their revival with our $$.
Now, forward to television programming!
The entertainment industry as a whole is teetering. The crushing weight of wokeness is destroying these perverted industries from within and the freedom of conservative audiences to refuse to consume Marxist dreck is killing their incomes.
Good riddance.
Correct.
Same as the music business.
It’s all about movies that will make a billion dollars at the box office and a singer/speaker+autotune who will be in the top 1% of spotify streams.
The music business changed after Woodstock. They realized a half a million people would turn out for a show. They stopped booking 2 shows by a touring band in a concert hall and went to booking bigger shows in sports stadiums/arenas/halls. What followed in the 70s was known as “corporate rock”.
I have DVD of just about all I like so I don’t need any of the new stuff from Hollywood.
I don’t think the technology is quite there for voices, but if they can get a computer to read a script and deliver lines in natural-sounding voices, with “tweakable” emotion, then they won’t need any “talent” in Hollywood at all. Why pay Tom Cruise? You can computer-generate the image and the voice and make Tom Cruise movies for 100 years. Of course, if the image and voice is really Tom, you probably have to pay Tom some amount of money. But that’s part of the transition, right? Next year you can make a fabulous blockbuster with the amazing actress Lotta Buckos. People will hunger for more movies from Lotta because she’s so sexy and has such a beautiful voice. She’s the newest Hollywood star!! And she doesn’t exist. Pure profit for decades.
I found this comment from Diller interesting:
“They are some weird algorithmic process that has created things that last 100 minutes or so.”
Is he saying movie *plots* are now generated by AI (based on the types of plots viewers most like to watch) ?
Pole smoking putz
Don’t you have a pool part at Marc Singers to attend Barry?
People like this determine what we viewed for years ..its myopic cadre of gatekeepers for film
And America now reflects their view culturally
Especially homosexuality and animosity to Christianity
One business I wish was dead - the business of constantly interrupting everything everywhere with annoying, loud ads.
The money grab for monetizing everything has ruined entertainment.
It’s a monopoly raping a monopoly raping a monopoly.
Giant corporations that don’t only own the radio stations and the ticket distribution but the sole sweetheat lease on civic owned venues. Technically they are prohibited from also owning the bands/labels. As if that really matters at this point.
You can computer-generate the image and the voice and make Tom Cruise movies for 100 years.
Yep, have you seen the Tom Cruise Deep Fake

I agree, the movie business has lost creativity. The good programs are all being produced as 10 part “shows” independently and are on streaming services.
Hollywood's utter demise can't happen soon enough. Hopefully, "sports" in America will soon follow. And public govt controlled education. And Congress. And ...........
I’ve heard several information streams that are basically a computer reading the Wikipedia page. A little blase’ and with some mispronunciations, but acceptable.
it's all a billion globalist confab in Idaho this week.
