America doesn’t deserve Hollywood.

Hollywood should be and always was about making money—not preaching a message. Want to make bucks make a movie about how America and China were allies against Japan in WW II. or do something on US History that doesn’t tar America as a racist hell hole.

So much gay and lesbo crap in movies anymore. Horrible stuff coming out of Hollyweird.

I have turned off so many things I started watching because they always “went there” with the gay/lesbo.

No thanks

This one looks hilarious, not out until December. British.

“Fackham Hall”

A new porter forms an odd bond with the youngest daughter of a well-known UK family. As the Davenport family, headed by Lord and Lady Davenport, deals with the epic disaster of the wedding of their eldest daughter to her caddish cousin.

From 1977 to 1987...I probably went out to 25 to 30 movies a year. Since 2010? I’ve probably gone to 5 movies over the past 15 years. There’s just nothing of quality being made, and I’m not paying $20 for soda/pop-corn.

I’d rather watch an old movie I’ve watched 10 times than 99% of tge dreck that’s made today. The last big screen film we saw was F1 and it was just ok.

It shouldn’t cost 100 million dollars to make a film where it’s mostly people talking
(Though I suspect most of the money spent is Hollywood accounting) .

Everyone saw this coming, except for Hollyweird.

I don’t think there’s been a single funny movie since Hot Fuzz came out in 2007.

Audience fatigue with heavy-handed messaging plays a role in the downturn.

When your writers, your directors, your actors, and your marketers are all strident Lefties, you're going to get what they intend to dish out for what they've come to feel is a captive audience in need of instruction, not entertainment. This drives the quaint reaction that failure is the audience's fault. But it's still failure.

I think the high price is a factor too- (Not just for movie going, but for everything- middle class and poorer peopel are really cutting back)
