0:00	·	hi you guys hi
0:02	·	Avengers as a celebrity I know all about
0:06	·	stuff I I think comma Harris needs a
0:09	·	catchphrase like science and politics
0:12	·	They Don't Really respect you they laugh
0:14	·	at you behind your back they think
0:16	·	you're stupid so trust me when I tell
0:19	·	you who you should vote for kamla Harris
0:23	·	will protect your right to disagree with
0:26	·	her if you don't vote the right way it's
0:28	·	like a hate crime that make me sad and
0:31	·	angry and I'll leave the country you
0:33	·	don't want
0:35	·	that nero.com greetings you over 1
0:39	·	million Helens and the 40% who haven't
0:41	·	subscribed yet listen do you smell
0:44	·	something that's the breaking Winds of
0:46	·	Change in Hollywood and as Tinsel Town
0:48	·	looks down at the fiery but mostly
0:50	·	peaceful disaster of their own making
0:52	·	I'm reminded it's been 4 years since
0:54	·	Hollywood's first shut down where in
0:56	·	truth they were deemed essential over
0:58	·	millions of their fellow California Ians
1:00	·	and allowed to work and they use that
1:01	·	time to make a lot of bad films and
1:03	·	streaming content rude on the riots from
1:05	·	the comfort of their $6 million mansion
1:07	·	saying things like enough white comfort
1:09	·	and no jar jar Abrams I'm not going to
1:11	·	let that one go they complained about a
1:13	·	president who wasn't in office for 4
1:15	·	years the entire industry became the
1:16	·	mouthpiece of fizer shaming people over
1:18	·	the jab and generally alienating half
1:21	·	the country screw your freedom and it
1:23	·	all might have worked out for him
1:24	·	unfortunately all of those non-essential
1:27	·	people are the ones who actually buy
1:28	·	tickets then sometime later later they
1:30	·	decided to follow that up with a strike
1:32	·	shutting down their industry for the
1:33	·	second time in 4 years I seem to recall
1:35	·	a precious few people within your
1:37	·	industry and a hell of a lot of people
1:38	·	outside it including some guys and gals
1:40	·	recording videos in their spare bedrooms
1:42	·	warning you that this might not be a
1:44	·	good idea and now that we're a year past
1:46	·	the end of the strike it turns out it
1:48	·	wasn't a good idea who could have seen
1:50	·	this coming ultimately it wasn't a smart
1:52	·	move as a riter to go on strike asking
1:54	·	for more money during the year of the
1:56	·	Flop Buster turns out it was Ill advised
1:58	·	to vote to stop working after the
2:00	·	streaming Bubble Burst turns out it was
2:02	·	flat out stupid to go on strike after an
2:06	·	entire industry broke its business model
2:08	·	ticket sales and theaters are down 30 to
2:11	·	40% and the core of your industry the
2:13	·	Legacy Hollywood studios are largely in
2:16	·	debt and while all this was going on
2:17	·	adult Pretenders in Hollywood found new
2:19	·	and unique ways to drive off the paying
2:21	·	customer that reminds me a lot of us
2:23	·	were saying just because Hollywood stops
2:25	·	doesn't mean the world does and the
2:27	·	worst case scenario actually happened
2:29	·	that audience you've been alienating has
2:31	·	become the competition I also seem to
2:33	·	recall a few of us stating that this
2:35	·	strike would end up being a purge
2:37	·	leading to mergers Acquisitions
2:40	·	Outsourcing layoffs and shrinkage I was
2:43	·	in the pool and now we're in a timeline
2:45	·	where I agree with John campia the
2:47	·	gravestone will say here lies the movieo
2:50	·	industry death by Suicide cuz they're
2:52	·	[ __ ] killing
2:54	·	themselves and while John and I will vly
2:56	·	disagree on what led up to tinsel toown
2:58	·	self- deltion it doesn't doesn't change
3:00	·	the fact that Hollywood is fleeing woke
3:02	·	Hollywood and droves and you don't have
3:04	·	to take my word for it these are access
3:05	·	media headlines from just the last month
3:08	·	why Los Angeles is becoming a production
3:10	·	graveyard La production plunged 20% in
3:12	·	2023 new film La report finds why
3:16	·	streaming content could be Hollywood's
3:18	·	final Act Hollywood is dead according to
3:20	·	Justine baitman here's what comes next
3:23	·	baitman argues the emotional and
3:24	·	financial scaffolding necessary to
3:26	·	support film business is gone in its
3:29	·	place we have something of a conveyor
3:31	·	belt churning out content you know
3:33	·	Hollywood running to the guy who created
3:35	·	the business environment that theirs is
3:36	·	failing in is probably not the best
3:38	·	strategy aside from the fact that it's
3:40	·	going to be a tough sell even to the
3:42	·	general populace of California
3:43	·	considering all their problems to
3:45	·	subsidize professional make belief the
3:48	·	question is what rules are these
3:50	·	subsidies and tax credits going to come
3:52	·	with well that was already answered a
3:54	·	year ago from March 1st of last year
3:56	·	California's film tax credit aims to
3:59	·	punish projects that don't hit diversity
4:01	·	goals and there it is the underlying
4:04	·	Foundation of many of Hollywood's
4:06	·	current problems something the access
4:08	·	media won't mention but I will their
4:10	·	slavish adherence to the message
4:12	·	imposing written and Unwritten rules on
4:14	·	themselves in the name of diversity
4:16	·	which is truly just exclusion and it's
4:18	·	antithetical to all creativity turning
4:20	·	an industry that used to produce some
4:22	·	pretty good stuff that would
4:23	·	occasionally entertain you and make you
4:25	·	think into a platform for propaganda and
4:28	·	content particularly with with pop
4:30	·	culture and genre permeated with people
4:32	·	telling you what to think although their
4:34	·	attitude will be we're not telling
4:36	·	people what to think we're just trying
4:38	·	to show them how and now Hollywood finds
4:40	·	themselves in a bit of a pickle after
4:42	·	going through all that Strife they come
4:44	·	out the other end on an election year
4:46	·	and the question I had earlier in the
4:47	·	year was would Hollywood sit this one
4:49	·	out considering all the overall damage
4:51	·	to their brand I was getting concerned
4:53	·	that we wouldn't get a cringe inducing
4:55	·	adult Pretender video better late than
4:58	·	never hi hi you guys hi
5:01	·	Avengers jumping on the call whoa whoa
5:04	·	whoa I think you mean
5:06	·	assembling yeah how can we be a service
5:09	·	how about we start with h what our
5:10	·	voting plans are going to be who we're
5:12	·	going to bring to the polls with us that
5:13	·	sort of thing just I I think KLA Harris
5:16	·	needs a catchphrase oo yes definitely a
5:19	·	catchphrase how about this I'm just off
5:22	·	the top of my head I can do this all day
5:25	·	shut up I hate it okay how about I'm
5:28	·	down with democracy clean simple okay I
5:31	·	like that it's hard to argue with that
5:33	·	kamla Harris down with democracy I don't
5:36	·	know if that sounds the way we want it
5:37	·	to sound though I think we just need can
5:39	·	we get some production though Jarvis my
5:41	·	name's not Jarvis but
5:43	·	whatever I'm kamla Harris and I am down
5:47	·	with
5:50	·	democracy you know nothing says reaching
5:53	·	out and connecting with the common man
5:55	·	like an adult Pretender who was
5:56	·	essentially a professional liar who
5:58	·	reads and interprets other people's
6:00	·	words for a living coming down from
6:01	·	their Ivory Towers to read and interpret
6:04	·	a poorly written script to tell you how
6:06	·	to vote in a badly edited Zoom video I'd
6:08	·	also like to point out that they went to
6:10	·	the OG team you don't see any new
6:12	·	Avengers in that video where's C mulu
6:14	·	where's Brie Larson and prior to that
6:16	·	the Batman himself Michael Keaton came
6:18	·	out with this Banger you know for some
6:20	·	of you folks who uh guys mostly I guess
6:23	·	who are thinking about attending a rally
6:25	·	with musk and and and Trump They Don't
6:28	·	Really respect you they laugh at you
6:30	·	behind your back they think you're
6:32	·	stupid they don't want to hang out with
6:35	·	you they have nothing in common with you
6:37	·	they're not your Bros they have no
6:40	·	respect for you trust me let me get this
6:42	·	straight an adult Pretender is telling
6:43	·	us not to vote for somebody because they
6:45	·	wouldn't hang out with us and they think
6:46	·	we're stupid coming from a guy who
6:48	·	wouldn't give us the time a day and
6:49	·	thinks we're stupid and then there's
6:51	·	Harrison
6:52	·	Ford the truth is
6:55	·	this kamla Harris will I don't care and
6:58	·	if you ever wonder what killed the movie
7:00	·	star well thanks to social media we got
7:02	·	to know them the latest example of that
7:04	·	you probably didn't know a Tom Hanks
7:05	·	film flopped this weekend but this is
7:07	·	balanced out by the very controversial
7:10	·	statements from Zachary Levi calling for
7:13	·	balance I I don't think it's accurate to
7:17	·	say that somehow Hollywood is both a
7:20	·	liberal and a conservative Town back in
7:22	·	the day there might have been a bit more
7:24	·	of a balance you know but you really
7:27	·	have to be at a certain level of your
7:28	·	career in order to get away with it uh
7:31	·	number one but number two that was also
7:34	·	back then and I think naming just John
7:37	·	vo and Dennis Quaid of the thousands of
7:41	·	actors in Hollywood that you could only
7:43	·	name two I think actually speaks to that
7:46	·	and what that means is there's plenty
7:48	·	and by the way they have sent me lots of
7:49	·	messages plenty of of people in my
7:51	·	industry in Hollywood that are terrified
7:54	·	to publicly say that they would vote for
7:56	·	Donald Trump or be conservative in any
7:58	·	way that's why you don't see them that's
8:00	·	why they're not very prevalent or
8:02	·	prominent because they know that there's
8:04	·	ramifications for this kind of y'all are
8:07	·	industry is going to be [ __ ] Gonzo
8:10	·	like it's it already is we're getting
8:12	·	we're getting eroded the the the the
8:15	·	pandemic and the strikes and all of
8:17	·	these things they've already eroded it
8:18	·	so much my cry to all of you out there
8:22	·	you closeted
8:24	·	conservatives closeted uh Trump voters
8:27	·	y'all it's now or never if what you're
8:28	·	afraid of is somehow the backlash of an
8:30	·	industry that's not going to exist very
8:32	·	soon don't let that hold you back fully
8:34	·	acknowledging Zachary Levi coming out
8:36	·	and making the statement is far more
8:38	·	ballsy than any of his comrades in
8:40	·	Hollywood we have to remember that the
8:42	·	celebrity endorsement is not going to
8:45	·	stop I find it far more disturbing that
8:48	·	it would actually sway a vote and I
8:49	·	think the biggest takeaway is what he
8:50	·	said towards the end if you work in
8:52	·	Hollywood don't concern yourself with
8:54	·	the backlash of an industry that's not
8:55	·	going to exist and again this isn't just
8:58	·	some hyperb coming from YouTube or
9:01	·	social media this is coming from within
9:03	·	the industry Sony Pictures Entertainment
9:05	·	CEO Tony Vince quera warned that the
9:06	·	deals made with major labor unions are
9:09	·	suppressing domestic production the
9:11	·	contract terms are forcing Productions
9:13	·	out of the US now the air has come out
9:15	·	of the content bubble says Matthew
9:16	·	balani founder of entertainment industry
9:18	·	title Puck news crisis is a good word I
9:21	·	try not to be alarmist but crisis is
9:23	·	what people are feeling and many of us
9:25	·	said that the hardest hit during the
9:26	·	strikes would be the working class in
9:28	·	Hollywood and that's exactly what
9:30	·	happened the losers Film LA noted are
9:32	·	rank in file industry workers according
9:34	·	to the 2024 otus College report on the
9:36	·	creative economy 27% of the nation's
9:38	·	domestic film and TV Workforce resides
9:41	·	in Greater Los Angeles given these
9:42	·	workers heavy dependence on local film
9:44	·	making reduced project output raises
9:47	·	significant concerns and I think this
9:49	·	one almost sums it up other Hollywood
9:51	·	vets lament that La is simply no longer
9:53	·	a film friendly Hub I would argue that
9:56	·	La is no longer a humanfriendly hub it's
9:59	·	not any one thing it's Death By A
10:01	·	Thousand Cuts speaking of that let's get
10:03	·	to my wheelhouse and talk about some
10:04	·	genre entertainment because that's where
10:06	·	a lot of those cuts come from Hollywood
10:08	·	has already destroyed the money pretty
10:10	·	machines that were Star Wars Star Trek
10:12	·	and Doctor Who just to name a few and
10:14	·	they're well on their way to doing it
10:15	·	with the superhero film like I said over
10:17	·	the past month we've gotten a Litany of
10:19	·	soul searching or Naval gazing articles
10:21	·	about the destruction of Hollywood from
10:22	·	the access media and this is one of them
10:24	·	superhero burnout with most superhero
10:27	·	movies flopping can Marvel and DC's 2025
10:30	·	slate reverse the unprecedented box
10:32	·	office drought and this brings up the
10:34	·	dreaded superhero fatigue which is a bit
10:36	·	of a chicken or the egg argument will
10:38	·	people still be drawn to a superhero TV
10:41	·	show or movie that's wellmade yes are
10:43	·	too many poorly made superhero TV shows
10:46	·	and films going to hurt Hollywood's
10:48	·	bottom line as a market driver yes
10:51	·	between 2015 and 2019 25 out of the 30
10:55	·	superhero titles 83% took in more than
10:58	·	500 million worldwide after the pandemic
11:02	·	the dynamic has flipped on its head
11:04	·	since 2022 10 of the 17 superhero titles
11:08	·	59% have made less than $500 million and
11:11	·	the rest of the article is essentially
11:13	·	going over the things that we've
11:14	·	mentioned here on this channel for years
11:16	·	DC is essentially rebooting for the
11:18	·	third time in a decade Sony making
11:20	·	Spider-Man movies without Spider-Man is
11:22	·	stupid and Marvel is oversaturated with
11:25	·	crap Sony's two films this year Madam
11:28	·	Webb and Venom were at least least
11:29	·	unintentionally hilarious DC's had six
11:32	·	flops in a row going back to last year
11:35	·	and after multiple underperforming TV
11:37	·	shows and films and outright flops
11:40	·	Marvel finally got a hit with Deadpool
11:42	·	and Wolverine and their upcoming slate
11:44	·	2025 outside of Daredevil looks at best
11:47	·	Highly Questionable and at worst abysmal
11:50	·	and it looks like the future of the
11:51	·	superhero film hinges on two films that
11:54	·	release in July of 2025 Superman and the
11:57	·	Fantastic 4 there are no slam dunks here
11:59	·	says exhibitor relations analyst Jeff
12:01	·	boach there's still a lot of Goodwill
12:02	·	for Marvel is there it's the biggest
12:05	·	show in town but to think that these are
12:06	·	going to do Deadpool and Wolverine
12:08	·	business I don't see any of that for
12:10	·	these films no I don't think a Captain
12:12	·	America sequel without Captain America
12:14	·	and a Thunderbolts film without any of
12:16	·	the original Thunderbolts from the
12:17	·	comics combined are going to get close
12:19	·	to Deadpool and Wolverine I will give
12:21	·	credit to DC and Disney Marvel at least
12:22	·	they're trying to change that being said
12:25	·	I'm far more hopeful for a James gun
12:27	·	Superman over a Pedro Pascal Reed
12:29	·	Richards and a female Silver Surfer
12:31	·	Hollywood loves and hates the superhero
12:34	·	film but much to their Chagrin it's not
12:36	·	going anywhere because they don't have
12:38	·	anything else still Warner Brothers and
12:40	·	Disney remain steadfastly committed to
12:42	·	their respective DC and Marvel slates
12:44	·	well into the decade and that doesn't
12:46	·	look like it will change anytime soon
12:48	·	there still isn't anything to replace
12:50	·	superheroes at the box office in terms
12:51	·	of films with the potential to make the
12:53	·	amount of money box says until we see
12:56	·	some genre take over they're going to
12:58	·	continue to invest in it nothing says
13:00	·	Innovation like waiting around for
13:01	·	something to happen the funniest bit
13:03	·	though is this article from variety was
13:06	·	preceded by this article just 3 weeks
13:09	·	prior toxic fandom how Hollywood is
13:11	·	battling fans who are just out for blood
13:14	·	from social media boot camps to Super
13:16	·	Fan focus groups to anyone who makes
13:18	·	decisions in Hollywood who may come
13:20	·	across this video if you're wondering
13:22	·	what led to superhero fatigue which is
13:24	·	better described as Hollywood fatigue
13:27	·	and that death by a th000 paper cuts
13:29	·	which includes one gaping mortal wound
13:31	·	the problem has been and always will be
13:35	·	you hell you guys just put out a movie
13:37	·	Joker 2 that literally told the audience
13:39	·	to [ __ ] off and they did and they felt
13:42	·	like you've been saying that for quite
13:44	·	some time and instead of possibly
13:46	·	listening to your paying customer you
13:49	·	decided to make him and her the enemy to
13:52	·	paraphrase a quote from a good friend
13:53	·	Chris Gore demonizing fandom will turn
13:57	·	out to be the costliest mistake in Hol
13:59	·	history and you will have to ask
14:00	·	yourself collectively as an industry how
14:02	·	in the hell did a few people in their
14:04	·	spare bedrooms people posting on Twitter
14:06	·	and Facebook and other social media
14:08	·	accounts know a lot more than your
14:10	·	highly paid Market analysts now the
14:12	·	industry might not want to hear this but
14:14	·	quite frankly the best stuff is coming
14:16	·	out on streaming and I think Hollywood
14:19	·	could fix most of their problems save
14:21	·	for one despite having everything you
14:23	·	wanted for the last four years your
14:26	·	industry has failed and it's because you
14:29	·	[ __ ] with the money so how do you
14:31	·	reconnect with the audience when they're
14:34	·	walking away silently or worse yet
14:36	·	becoming the competition and no matter
14:38	·	what happens this year you will be
14:40	·	forced to do something that
14:42	·	unfortunately thanks to your corporate
14:43	·	structure you won't be able to do fast
14:45	·	enough change but it's undeniable at
14:47	·	this point that Tinsel Town is broken up
14:50	·	and Hollywood is fleeing woke Hollywood
14:52	·	in droves and that's a good thing

I got a deal from one of my credit cards, activated a code to get a 10% kickback, er, bonus?, but to $25, for spending in November -- three categories, restaurant meals, live theater, and movies.

I activated it, and looked at the local theater website. I didn't even recognize any of the ****. Nothing resonated with me.

Where are they heading, and is there a downside to this?

[SunkenCiv]

If they really decided to put up & shut up, they'd probably do a crowd funding op to raise the money to leave the country. They don't need more of our money to move out, but if they set themselves a binding contract like that, a lot of people would give just to be well rid of them.

Thanks for the post.

Then there was the actress that said she would drink drano, if Trump won. Lots of people were encouraging her to do it. 😀

Hollywood celebs must feel 90 per cent of Americans are sheep who will blindly follow their advice, and the other 10% are flyover country deplorables and who cares about them.
Michael Keaton:”They think you’re stupid.”
Ironically same phrase leads off one of
Ingraham’s books..in a different way.

Harrison Fraud.

Ironically Trump is a celebrity too, though
he has common sense. He used to be eagerly
booked on talk shows and did commercials
and tv and movie cameos. He gave Kevin directions to the front desk of his hotel.
Later when he got into politics, as a Republican, things changed.

Reagan and Trump used to be Democrats (and the Dem party left Ronnie....) By the way
Reagan WAS a damn good movie...
When studios adapted Atlas Shrugged and made the right-leaning comedy An American Carol, critics of course slammed the films. Non woke!

Since Trump indeed is and was a celebrity (the good kind), I found myself thinking up this song parody—to the tune of Lump by (ha) The Presidents of The United States:

He’s Trump, he’s Trump, he’s Trump, the President
He’s Trump, he’s Trump, he’s Trump, that’s
what we meant
Trump is a big celebrity
It was so great when he defeated Hillary...

He gave Kevin directions to the front desk of his hotel.

I watched that with my wife and niece. I asked them, who is that guy? They said they didn’t know. I said, it’s Donald Trump. They said wow, they didn’t recognize him. Then, they did.

Yes. Many are heading to GA for the film tax credits. We have way too much Hollywood in GA now.

Hollywood and Democrats loved Trump right until he came down the escalator as a Republican Presidential candidate in 2015.

“Then there was the actress that said she would drink drano, if Trump won.”

It was Bette Midler, I’m pretty sure. What are the odds she drank Draino?

““Then there was the actress that said she would drink drano, if Trump won.”

I don’t want them to actually off themselves, but if they’re really serious they should renounce their American citizenship and move to any country that will have them. There, they can stew in their righteous indignation among more “enlightened” people, and perhaps find real happiness.

This has been a dismal year for movies. The industry’s big, chronic problems aside, we’re still in the rain shadow of last year’s strikes, which pushed a lot of movies back a year. There are a handful of indie films that I have hopes for, but they’re just starting to emerge. I can’t think of a major studio film that looks promising, although the streamers will pick up the scattering of good indie films for distribution and pass them off as “originals” because the streamer will be the first to air them.

The film industry has been diversifying away from Hollywood for a long time now. California taxes, regulations, deteriorating infrastructure and lifestyle, and general insanity are a big part of it, but the woke nonsense kicked it into high gear.

The sane people are bailing out. At some probably unexpected point, the trickle could become a flood. A lot of the auditioning, at least the initial rounds, is now done through audition tapes and videoconferencing. Why put up with the California nonsense? Even the major studios, which have most of the sunk costs in Hollywood infrastructure, are shifting to other locations and abroad. The little indie films with a writer/director team of one have no reason to shoot in WokeLandia.

Yes, I knew who it was. I just didn’t want to mention her name. I heard she turned off her comments section, because people were telling her to drink the drano, and of course, she didn’t do it.

[ducttape45]

I like Nerdrotic and I listen to his videos when they come out. He’s spot on and has been talking this for a loooong time. He also moved from CA to get away from the madness there.

[SunkenCiv]

A spoonful of Drano powder would probably have to be explained to her, to keep her from trying to do a line.

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure.

[ducttape45]

Something good that came of this election cycle is that with all the celebrity endorsements, I was able to destroy or delete many of the movies I had that had those celebrities in them. I won’t keep or watch movies with those people in them.

[SunkenCiv]

I'm not sure I'd heard of him before, but the vid (what a miracle) turned up in the YouTube recommendations. The Google people must be bitter and hungover and figure nothing matters now. :^D
