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!
