Billionaire Warns Hollywood Faces ‘Absolute Collapse’ If Strike Isn’t Resolved
Epoch Times ^ | 7-16-23 | Jack Phillips

A failure to resolve twin strikes of the writers’ and screen actors’ guilds could lead to “devastating effects” if no deal is reached soon, according to billionaire media mogul Barry Diller.

Mr. Diller, a former Paramount Pictures CEO, said on July 16 that the situation could compound if not resolved quickly.

“These conditions will potentially produce an absolute collapse of an entire industry,” he told CBS News.

“I would call for a September 1 deadline. There’s a strike deadline. I think there should be a settlement deadline, because unless it happens by September 1 … The truth is, this is a huge business both domestically and for world export.

“These conditions will potentially produce an absolute collapse of an entire industry.”

Hollywood is all but irrelevant in my life and I’m hard pressed to believe most people over the age of 40 have much use for it.

Finally able try to get folks back in the theaters and you pull this…

By the time this is over it will be 4 or 5 years removed from going to the movies being a regular event for most people…. I doubt they honestly can recover from that.

Forget Hollyweird. Bring on the personalized AI Movie and TV series creation.

Hey AI, create me a science fiction movie about a magical world with lots of chase scenes and explosions and humor but no gore, no woke attitudes, no gay relationships, no trans people, no sexualized children, no foul language, and lots of beautiful happy women.

God works in amazing ways.

We pray for the righting of the American ship.

“He says it like it’s bad thing”

Yeah, I would not miss it at this point. I used to enjoy movies, but it seems all the enjoyable ones have been made. There doesn’t seem to be a great demand for woke, DEI, ESG, LGBT themed movies. You would think people would be lining up for them, but no, contrary to the hopes of those who would rule over us, most people don’t actually think that way.

I am praying for that because Hollywood has been a major vehicle to pervert Americans and a tool to turn folks away from God.

All together now—let us sing the Communist Internationale—strike forever!

Nothing would be better for the country and the world than to have the Woke industry crash and burn.
