Hollywoke is going broke. There is no such thing as a blockbuster anymore. Most new films are unwatchable garbage and even big marketing dollars don’t draw interest. The recent Disney bomb , The Little Mermaid, is proof. Nothing Disney produces is any good, and even if it was there are too many people who want nothing to do with increasing their bottom line...
Like anything else, film is not dead, it is just temporarily out of sorts because it has lost its mission...
I think we can look forward to the death of the old guard and the emergence of something entirely new...
Think back. The movie stars are the ones who taught that divorce was OK. They were all doing it. People got used to the idea of divorce, it was no longer condemned. Then people started trying it themselves, laws were changed, etc.
Movie stars were used to change culture. Bah Humbug to them.
Movie stars helped push casual sex and abortion too. "Romantic comedies" have done a bad service to how we view relationships these days.
and then, homosexuals were introduced in shows (beyond their numbers in society) as just the nicest people! OH those gays are just so nice! who could be against them??
Using nice people to introduce proclivities and bad practices into society; if the people are nice, it must be ok, whatever. Apparently movies and TV can "normalize" anything . . .
They don't call it programming for nothing.
so true!
I was thinking about this very idea. Growing up in the 80s and 90s I now believe we were gaslighted about divorce.
The media (and many of our schools) were constantly hammering us with “50% of all marriages end in divorce “
More bullshit marxism
The worst is the "no fault" divorce. No need to prove adultery or cruelty or anything at all! One party could basically say "I divorce you" three times, and the partner has no choice. The children ripped from their parents by . . . any reason or no reason.
Thank Ronald Reagan for that one, and for vaccine manufacture immunity. I liked the Gipper, but he really didn't think some of these things through.
Marc Wahlberg missed his flight on 9/11 // So did Seth MacFarlane ( Family Guy )
It was AA11
A decade later they were the highest paid in film and TV, respectively.
Great thought and reply. Thanks
