The allegations against Kevin Spacey made House of Cards essentially implode; he’s now trying to restart his career despite new sexual misconduct charges against him in the UK and ongoing litigation in the US.
Weinstein got shipped to « rehab » and got the #MeToo ball rolling—which we have since learned was more of an insurance policy than a positive shift in the entertainment industry—but he hasn’t really faced justice. His business dealings—and likely problematic behavior—has just shifted to new producers, executives, etc. Weinstein produced movies are still readily available and consumed by the masses.
Tarantino is gross, and despite his weird foot fetishes and overall creep behavior, he’s managed to « start a new life in Tel Aviv » apparently.
I could go on about the films, plays, and tv series that are still on streaming platforms worldwide despite some of the evil things in the industry coming to light. Despite the drips, not much has changed.
Which brings me to my main question: if civilization learns that Armie Hammer isn’t the exception and is, in fact, the rule, what happens?
Will the populace just toss the last few decades of media into the trash can? I’d be sad to see things like Reba, Boy Meets World, and some other more family-oriented shows go. It’s difficult to wrap my head around 40+ years of media just going « poof », but I’m guessing that’ll be the extreme case.
Will we experience a Renaissance-esque era where conservative and intellectual voices get the chance to creat and produce more profound works instead of watered-down, woke storylines that simply repeat the same dull propaganda? I hope stand-up comedy gets a resurgence after we rid ourselves of cancel culture.
I’ve been attempting to find a conservative media company to work for; I haven’t had much luck. There’s nothing I love more than creating theatrical and film productions that unite people in an immersive experience; the only way to do that nowadays is pushing some kind of agenda on the masses.
I don’t want agendas; I don’t want propaganda; I don’t want cancel culture; I just want to make good, challenging art again.
Do we think we’ll get there? Will we see patriots reclaiming entertainment once shiz truly hits the fan?
What do you think?
Have you tried the daily wire or Tim pool? They're both launching / have launched multimedia companies with movies, series etc.
I have not checked them out for jobs. I’ll examine. Thanks for the idea!
Hopefully you can find something great 👍
At this point one of the main barriers to new creators is getting advertising.
I'm thinking, for example, the indie dev community, there are some examples like cave story or mine craft where something catches fire, but for those massive successes there are thousands who might put years into a game that might make a few 100$ over the year of release (or less)... and some are legitimate good, but never get noticed.
