Hollywood still has plenty to offer, it’s just that the corporations who run everything would rather churn thru established properties than allow original ones to flourish since it’s seen as safer.
Hollywood makes original movies all the time. Viewers just don’t go see them. Hollywood follows the money. If viewers watched original movies more, Hollywood would make them more.
Because those original movies are ass. They lost a lot of trust with the public and every decision they make now erodes it even further. Also the business model behind theaters is completely hare-brained and a lot of people don’t have that kind of disposable income anymore. It’s as if Musk is in charge.
Hollywood is that machine. I say let it die while it still has a scrap of dignity, and let smaller and more diverse filmmakers enter the arena.
It’s silly to think the studio system will be the casualty. The writers and actors are striking because they are being bled dry for corporate profit. But the entire industry has been structured to protect capitalists, perhaps more than any other industry. Should a studio fail, another will absorb it’s space.
No more computer graphics intense movies with bad scripts about super heroes?That’d be soo sad 🤣
Coming to a theatre near you: Ass
Rob Schneider is…a Stapler!
Did I miss something about the strikes or is it just because of how long it’s been going on. Still trying to tweak my subscriptions to keep on top of news…
Actors joined the strike this weekend, so a lot of production has ground to a halt now.
Oooh that’s great news!
Not really, all of the supporting crew is getting shafted this way. They never made actor (or writer) salaries and are pretty much unemployed at the moment because most of them work on a gig basis… I get that the writers and actors have the right to strike but it sucks for more people than just the studios.
So you’re saying they are underpaid as well.
The writers have been striking and now the actors guild is striking, too.
Theaters still exist after COVID.
Hollywood isn’t going anywhere.
I don’t think the US government would let such a valuable properganda outlet fail like that.
