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.

decades of howood dissing and hating on any normal Americans, conservatives, patriots, Christians, and right thinking people and we’re supposed to be upset about howood?.....

I don’t believe that for one minute, there are plenty of great stories yet to be told.. they just aren’t stories that involve lecturing and checkboxes.
Hollywood is already in the state of collapsing.
Oh, good.
No one cares about Hollywood or Disney.

Mel Gibson was nearly destroyed after his drinking issue but that was 20 years ago.
They still don’t like him because of “Braveheart”

I guess it’s my age, the era I grew up in, and intense nostalgia for what was when America was still America.
Broke pedophiles..

I wasn’t being serious I was making a joke!
I know. Not a bad one either.
That was the era before actors started barfing their social and political opinions all over the media. The studios wouldn’t let them. There’s no mystique any more.

Let the whole thing collapse, it will be replaced maybe by a better system more responsive the film consumer.
Goodbye Hollywood...sounds like a song in their somewhere...

The streamers with libraries of old content will keep the corporations afloat (one of them, unfortunately, is Disney+) but for creators of new content it’s a sort of bleak picture. Will AI-enhanced creation be able to bring us such masterpieces as Snow Brown And The Seven Street People? Time will tell...
