Good, they have only produced crap for years.
So long, suckers. Take cable TV with your sorry A$$..
Wishful thinking. Biden will fund their revival with our $$.
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 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.
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 ...........
it's all a billion globalist confab in Idaho this week.
Sorry Barry, movie making is alive and well.
It’s the old “Movie Business” that is gone for good.
Lots of very creative stuff is happening all over the place.
Surprisingly, it gets on Corporate screens every once in a vert great while.
Tons on the web, in all kinds of odd places. Don’t forget, even a very good Podcast can have movie elements to it. Give it time.
But movie making is booming.
Movies, TV, and computer video streaming are all headed toward government approved propaganda. It will be like the old Soviet Union. Stale and predictable. Old films will be edited or removed. Book burning and on-line books being banned or “adjusted” will be next.
Good riddance.

The last good movie made in Hollywood was Porky’s III...
I have a gazillion Blu-rays and DVDs. Most of them are older movies whose stars and directors have since passed on. If they never produced another movie I don’t think it would affect me at all.
Ouch. The college students I read about earlier are going to need a Kleenex subsidy.
Those Master of Fine Arts film degrees can be used to sop up a few tears...
If it wasn’t for TCM I wouldn’t watch any movies at all
