Hollywood Has Received Its Death Blow
PostCanadian ^ | 8/1/25 | Devon Kash

The American film industry, long a bastion of cultural influence, is teetering on the edge of obsolescence, and Google’s Veo 3, an AI-powered video generation model launched in May 2025, may have delivered the fatal blow. This technological upheaval is not only a disruption of Hollywood’s economic model but a long-overdue reckoning for an industry steeped in liberal bias, out of touch with traditional values and increasingly irrelevant to the average person.

Veo 3, with its ability to generate high-quality videos from simple text prompts or static images, threatens to dismantle the bloated budgets, overpaid actors, and elitist gatekeepers of Tinseltown, while empowering independent creators to produce compelling content without the need for vast financial resources. Veo 3 is poised to end Hollywood’s reign, send its actors to the unemployment line, liberate creative individuals, and expose the industry’s liberal excesses as a relic of a bygone era. Hollywood has long been a symbol of American creativity, but its dominance has come at a cost. The industry’s reliance on massive budgets—often exceeding $200 million for a single blockbuster—has created a system where only a handful of studios, backed by corporate conglomerates, can afford to produce films.

To hell with Hollywood.

Nope. All behaviors can be changed. Opera isn’t dead. High level black-tie event are not dead. If people want to get in badly enough, they’ll dress right and behave.

This was from 12 years ago.
Imagine what can be done now with AI.

Many of the recent failures, you look at and wonder “how did they manage to spend $350 million making that?”

That is what is sinking Hollywood, along with all the woke crap from the past few years.

“girl powers”

My husband almost went ballistic when we watched “Hidden Figures”. If it weren’t for three black chicks, we’d be earthbound forever. (I don’t have an eyeroll emoji on my BlackBerry.)

“MIDI control was going to make musicians obsolete,”

Maybe it did. I haven’t heard actual music since about then.
