Here's the God's honest truth... Hollyweird needs us a WHOLE LOT more than we need them. I really need to catch up on some reading that I've let slip recently. A couple of books I just ordered, and I got bogged down reading C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity" because it is so densely packed, so I need to re-engage that book. I live not more than 40 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so I really should be going there more and hiking, or just sit by a mountain stream and listen to the rushing water and calm my soul for awhile.
So yeah... go ahead, Hollyweird, you do you, I don't mind disengaging from your claptrap for a long while.
Speaking of claptrap, has anyone else noticed that there are really only about 10 plot devices in Hollyweird, they they just use them over and over with different actors and contexts? I've seen pretty much the same plot devices in westerns, modern city dramas, sci-fi drama, and more. Different costumes, different genres, different time periods... but the same tired old 10-or-so plots.
Yes! As a hobby writer, I say this all the time. Black Panther was a redo of The Lion King. Avatar was basically Pocahontas with a huge budget. Lord of the Rings was Star Wars in Middle Earth. And the rom-com plots are even worse because they don't have the hint of Joseph Campbell's work to prop 'em up at all. And the remakes!!! Don't get me started on those.
Thanks, that's a good insight. Although I have to admit that if we're looking at original, out-of-the-box thinking creativity, I would give Tolkien's "Middle Earth" the edge with Star Wars as the imitator.
Precisely. Tolkien was recovering from his experiences in WWI and lost himself in writing about the Hobbits, Middle Earth, the Ring series...it was therapy for him. In a similar vein, Earnest Hemingway wrote the Nick Adams stories as a way of coping with his devastating wartime experiences. The clear, Spartan prose of these stories is how he cleared away all the non-essentials and and chaff and got to the heart of storytelling. In the end, though, it was alcohol that finally quietened the thoughts and nightmares of his war years.
You can’t really say Lord of the Rings is modeled after Star Wars man- the movies were almost modeled identically after Tolkiens books which were written decades before Star Wars- so if anything it’s the opposite.
SoF, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and The Passion of the Christ are probably the only films I’ve seen in the past 30 years within 10 years of when they were made. I do love pre-code films from the 1930s though. So this strike business isn’t going to impact me at all. Now if people want to write and make creative new films independent of Hollywood, I enthusiastically support.
Which seems like an odd couple, because he’s pretty based. Also, I don’t know if you’ve heard of the story of her being raped in her New York apartment many many years ago.
Since she had to go through such a horrific event, I’m going to assume that she didn’t get involved in all this pedophilia in Hollywood. So maybe she’s a white hat, and she’s going to bring the whole system down with this stupid strike. If she’s heading it, perhaps she will do all she can to make it drag on.
According to Wiki, they split in 2016: "Beginning in 2014, Ayyadurai was romantically connected with actor Fran Drescher. On September 7, 2014, Ayyadurai and Drescher participated in a ceremony at Drescher's beach house. Both tweeted that they had gotten married,[111][112] and the event was widely reported as such.[113][114][115] Ayyadurai later said it was not "a formal wedding or marriage", but a celebration of their "friendship in a spiritual ceremony with close friends and her family".[116][117] The couple split up in September 2016.[118]"
As a guy who hates unions, I do support this strike. I hope they can last for a couple of years. What a statement that would make. No new production of movies or television shows. That will send a great message to all of the money men in the industry. As Conservatives I say we should all support this strike. Let them eat their own.
They won’t last, too many people need income. It’s not just the rich and famous that this hurts, it’s thousands upon thousands who work in the industry.
Bye Felicia! I think a lot of people never went back into theaters after the Plandemic. Movies are ridiculously expensive and their content is idiotic. If it isn’t a remake, or a comic book story it’s LGBT#% bullshit. Big screen TVs and streaming services have made theaters redundant. Hollywood and all it’s minions will not be missed.
And worse, the "comic-book stories" are being massively rewritten to make old. long-established White characters into Black, female or homosexual. Or all three.
Anyone notice how bad the movies are lately it. I wonder if Trumps EO have anything to do with it? Or maybe Harvey Weinstein was really that good😂🤷🏼♂️
There needs to be Conservative Movie Studios that refuse to hire Unionized workers in any role.
That is how we make our own Hollywood.
And if the studio is proper and smart there would be no need for Unions. People deserve what they are worth. Not more. Not less. And value is not derived from hard work alone, it is derived from the returns that work generates, which is why actors earn more then stage hands. Etc.
Hollywood on strike? Who's gonna notice? There's so little that they've put out in like the past decade that I've cared about and my care o meter dropped even more in 2020 when my faggot gov in CO shut the state down unnecessarily.
Eh, it’s just the Deep State and Hollywood agreeing to get rid of Hollywood. It’s an American icon they don’t want you identifying with. Think globally, they cry! Not nationally! Stop identifying with American brands and institutions.

Yes, I was thinking the same. Star Wars came out as a movie first, but Tolkien wrote The Trilogy many years before.

Very interesting. Thanks.
Star Wars was a rip off of Dune.
You can’t really say Lord of the Rings is modeled after Star Wars man- the movies were almost modeled identically after Tolkiens books which were written decades before Star Wars- so if anything it’s the opposite.
Okay, then Star Wars was its copy. You get my point though, right. A hero's journey is a hero's journey.
Avatar aka Ferngully 2: Dances with the last of the Mohican Samurai 🤣
It’s legit the same movie over and over.
Similar with the music. The chords and Melodie’s from song to sing are repetitive
The marvel movies I can see for sure. The third one no, lotr was first by quite awhile.

I'm spending time reading Letters to Trump!

Always set in NYC
THANKYOU GOD. This is one strike I hope lasts FOREVER.
The president of SAG is Fran Drescher?
The meetings must be unbearable with that voice.
Fun Fact: Fran Drescher is married to Dr. Shiva.

Her voice and Gilbert Godfrey's (RIP) are two that I instantly recognize.
AFLAC!

A whole lot worse … notice how the shit has hit the fan since the release of the Sound of Freedom.

I couldn't have put it better.
And worse, the "comic-book stories" are being massively rewritten to make old. long-established White characters into Black, female or homosexual. Or all three.
We'll just go to Angel produced movies with non-woke actors.
Not that I don't like being entertained, but these people in Hollywood need to get a real job!
Getting worse must mean they will be out of work. That's WAAAAAAAAAY better.
Anyone notice how bad the movies are lately it. I wonder if Trumps EO have anything to do with it? Or maybe Harvey Weinstein was really that good😂🤷🏼♂️
Worse for them is better for everyone else.
I have needed a mechanic, garbage man, grocery worker, truck driver, roofer and others. I have NEVER needed an actor.

TV and movies are still a thing? 📺🔨
Hollywood on strike? Who's gonna notice? There's so little that they've put out in like the past decade that I've cared about and my care o meter dropped even more in 2020 when my faggot gov in CO shut the state down unnecessarily.
Besides, I have a stack of books to read.
Eh, it’s just the Deep State and Hollywood agreeing to get rid of Hollywood. It’s an American icon they don’t want you identifying with. Think globally, they cry! Not nationally! Stop identifying with American brands and institutions.
So, the only movies getting made will be great ones like Sound of Freedom? Sound perfect to me.
Yeah, it's gonna get worse - for THEM!!!!
