MAKE MOVIES PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO GO SEE!.....................
So, guessing the springsteen movie ain’t working out.....
“WOKE IS BROKE...”!!!!
America doesn’t deserve Hollywood.
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
I read that in “the critical drinker”’s voice for some reason
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.
Iâd rather watch an old movie Iâve watched 10 times than 99% of tge dreck thatâs made today. The last big screen film we saw was F1 and it was just ok.
It shouldnât cost 100 million dollars to make a film where itâs mostly people talking
(Though I suspect most of the money spent is Hollywood accounting) .
Everyone saw this coming, except for Hollyweird.
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)
tired of seeing ‘the rock’ in every single movie. If he’s in it i’m not watching it.
âAudience fatigue with heavy-handed messaging plays a roleâ
They are blaming the audience. The audience can take the messaging. They/weâve been dealing with it and ignoring it for decades. We still want Trum in office.
The problem is this- the story line is not there. The formula, the template, protagonist vs villain. It is gone
No one wants to go to the movie just to ignore messaging. They will go see a story and ignore hollywoods input
The Springsteen thing. Hollywood will not look at it for what it is. Itâs making less than $20 million here and overseas combined. It wonât go above that for word of mouth. Is has lost a lot of millions cost way over $100 million to make
This movie has no story that anyone doesnât know already and the subject is all about messaging
Hollywood will not accept that Trump won. That its audience chose building up the US not tearing it down. Springsteen was overseas last year criticizing on stage the US
No.
One also wonders where has Hollywood been getting funded since their crappy movies with no audience has never bothered them before
This past month though, I have to say, there is nothing to watch. Nothing
I did see the Lorenz Hart pic. âBlue Moonâ
It was out for three days, because the film industry abhors a good story
It is brilliant. Ethan Hawke is Lorenz Hart. It was captivating. People donât know the writers behind these great songs. Googling âEverything Happens to Meâ, you would think Chet Baker wrote it. He didnât
People donât know Rodgers and Hammerstein, much less Rodgers and Hart
If they did they would know more about Americaâs greatness.
Another Hollydud movie? What’s there to like?
Its an unnecessary industry.
Ivory handled buggy whips might be nice but it isnt really a global commercial industry anymore.
IPs are worthless, they need to understand that they are just pissing away money.
You and many of the others have stories/universes inside yourselves that are every bit as good as the Marvel catalog or Star Trek/Wars.
Those that can prompt with the most imagination will create new movies that will be distributed world wide and no one will have to go to a theater at all or wait for it.
I could release my series online and be a number one “box office” crushing movie producer on March 8th, 2038 for an unprecedented length of 15 minutes from 14:09-14:24 generating $3 billion from my kitchen table. AI can do it all for virtually nothing and in no time.
The entire past movie production and consumption paradigm has already been destroyed. Its headless but they are still trying to revive a twitching corpse.
This last week he recommended Preston Sturges 1944 screwball comedy "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" which I thoroughly enjoyed. It stars Betty Hutton William Demarest (coincidentally, I have been watching William Demarest in Season 6 of "Tales of Wells Fargo").
I really enjoy movies with good plots, great acting, good story-arcs and themes, and (especially) long scenes without quick cuts. Modern movies with the constantly flashing quick cuts where the camera is on a subject always less than one second are extremely off-putting.
I may go see Guillermo Del Toro's, "Frankenstein," as it's supposed to stay very true to Mary Shelley's novel, and IMHO, is likely to be an apt, albeit unwitting warning for when AI escapes the control of its creators.
Add Walter Brennan, too. Heâd make any scene better.
