I will never feel bad for Hollywood or any actors. I feel bad for us having to be subjected to this garbage.
And being told we are every "ist" or "phobe" they can think of because we don't want to eat their shit sandwich
I do feel somewhat bad for Clint Eastwood since he's in his early to mid 90s
Go woke go broke. I don’t feel bad for any of them. Next time give the audience what they want instead of chastising them
The far left have no argument. That's comedy.
Yesteryears Hollywood use to ask viewers.
Todays Hollywood just sticks it in...
Hollywood, what does culture call someone that just sticks it in?
Hollywood made its bed, and now it has to sleep in it. Don't disrespect the consumer
Consumers eat sh*t with a grin.
Customers exchange the value of their work for a product they desire and believe to be of equivalent worth.
Y'all can be consumers. I'm gonna be over here, with the customers. 🤷♂️
@@brianmurphy6480 Amen to that. 👍
@@brianmurphy6480 y'all eat shit with a grin while calling the shit crap. It's the same
@brianmurphy6480 Yes, it seems the customers are the ones with the REAL money.
Used to be these customers go to the movies to be entertained; The cultural event was just a natural side effect if the movie was well received.
Now we can be entertained in every way by a common device, so we go to the movies hoping less for that entertainment, and more for that cultural strength.
Hollywood's given us the opposite; Why we're not doing good enough, why we should be divided, why we should feel guilt, why we should be doing better,
why this demographic is better than that demographic, why your ancestors accomplishments are failures, why your culture is evil, why this society isn't worth saving, etc., etc.
Like Network News, Hollywood knew the new social tech was surpassing them, and they went for the bottom of the barrel to survive: The "consumers" instead of their Customers, deliberately leaving their customers behind in the dirt.
The dying serpent strikes deepest, and videos like this one are more welcome proof that it will happen one day, that the serpent will eventually die.
It's not about money though.
They're massively brainwashing the world.
Soros is financing all this crap everywhere. In children's school to movies
This is why Top Gun: Maverick was such a hit; it went back to basics of what makes a good movie. No PC woke agenda crap.
I got 15 minutes into it and bailed because the acting was dreadful and the gung-ho story. It was like a pastiche.
I don't exactly like Tom Cruise the person, but since he is willing to do movies that don't try to sell his ideas of how we should live or be crammed full any of that DEI stuff - his ideas would presumably be that cult stuff - I am still willing to pay for his movies.
Makes sense, I guess, the leaders of his cult seem to be quite well aware of how to make money, and presumably that is their whole aim (that is how the whole thing started, anyway, L. Ron Hubbard was reputedly quite open about it when talking with some other science fiction writers back in the day), so in his case, and to keep their star member making money, I presume Cruise may have been told to keep making movies that stay with those basics, and mostly only those basics. And Cruise probably has the clout to dictate what he is willing to make to the studios.
Kind of weird, but this may be one case where his cult is actually doing some good. Kind of inadvertently, just because they like money, but what the h**l, I'll take that.
@@pohjanakka4992 well said!
The dynamics of the top gun squadron was verging on woke
@@pohjanakka4992he's selling his art man that's it. You don't have to agree politically with him but I get you. If an actor sells good shit then ppl will buy his shit. I don't agree with Clint Eastwood's ideology but he makes good movies so I buy the movies. Pretty simple concept.
At 63 and looking back at Hollywood, things started going south with "Reality TV".
true!
which is a laughable lie. pple on "reality" shows are selected for their dysfunction to create "tension". lol
Good point.
I'm 64 and I recently started buying (on DVD) all those magnificent TV shows of yesteryear - including Seinfeld
My Grandchildren who are not quite 10 years are loving the old Looney Tunes even the Addams Family
The plethora of entertainment was so rich and of high quality (in content) that there is no reason why we can't weather the storm while things get back on track.
I've said this for along time now. It's Ryan Seacrest's fault. It was his production company that started the downward spiral by producing the Kardashians.
We completely destroyed our industry. Why can't we find work???
The entitlement is ridiculous.
Soultion, they want government guaranteed universal income. Like BBC in England, you to pay for crap unwillingly because their crap failed in capitalism.
@@lareolanKFP Especially the part about placing the financial responsibility for their continued idiocy on the American taxpayer.
But..but, we had this glorious strike, we made so much progress. I don’t understand why there’s no writers’ rooms hiring.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤒🤕🥸
Who else has reached a state of APATHY? You don't care about new releases. You're not interested in the next sequel or prequel or spin-off. You're just done. And on a channel like this one watching it all burn to the ground.
I'm not even mad about Warhammer having transgender space marines anymore I just don't care I'll read manga and my brother in laws old old Warhammer books.
Yup. That's where I'm at.
i have a 10tb offline drive for non woke media and have recently decided to stop paying for current gen games and consoles. back to ps3 and og xbox online for me
I have 1,000's of comics and spent $1,000's on Star Wars and action figures. I have reached an unbelievable level of apathy for Marvel, SW, Star Trek, etc.
Hollywood has pushed their agenda down our throats and preached down to us for decades.
I just want to escape politics and ideology sometimes and be entertained.
I can say that and I for one get enjoyment seeing these loons loosing their work and platform. they will scream about this on twitter but they will no longer have power.
Never has American society offered such a gold mine of insanity to get rich making fun of, but sadly forbidden to do so. Any applause for Hollywood, such as the Oscars, has as much merit as watching an audience of N. Koreans applaud for their 'dear leader'.
Well said
The Academy Awards is just marketing. Make movies seem even more relevant to the American dream so people spend even more money than they already have. Its brilliant, and it fits, cuz the movie industry is all about pushing a fantasy to make easy money. As for the intellectual aspect, guys like Siskel and Ebert would be hating modern Hollywood. Ebert in particular expressed his displeasure at industry trends before he passed away in 2014.
They are closing theatres in my County. Nobody is going to movies. Hollywood got political, people got offended like he said and now nobody is watching anything they produce.
Streaming services killed it to I can just buy new releases at home no point going to theatre
Other reasons: race swapping characters like Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and Juliet (apparently they’re doing another remake of Romeo and Juliet 🙄), women superheroes, awful dialogue (do normal people really converse like this?). I can’t watch anymore. I’m resolved to watching old shows and movies
So you're saying your emotional fragility dictates what you do?
"If you dont like my MESSAGE, dont buy my book!" Has turned out to be an instruction manual for the entire entertainment industry.
Yet when it doesn’t sell well they accuse the people not buying their crap bigots.
“ if you don’t buy my book, you are a blah blah blah.”
@@bbbrenden Eventually the people who they call bigots decide to be bigots, and suddenly they get scared.
Yeah, I pretty much just watch content on UA-cam now and am happier watching mtn biking, hiking and fishing videos as well as how-to's.
@@bbbrenden which is an unintentional confirmation that they believe diverse audiences are not buying their shit
I’ve got a 100 years of movies to watch. Goodbye modern Hollywood. 👋
I buy old DVDs off of eBay, even my kid mainly watches older content, she’s a big I Love Lucy, Our Gang and Marx Brothers fan. There’s an insane amount of content to explore out there.
Exactly. You have alternatives. And,in time,the world will have hundreds of other shows and films. Everyone gets their way.
Most older movies are better anyway
@@LuisSierra42 Criterion is $12 a month and has thousands of old movies, it’s the only channel I subscribe to.
Someone arrogantly said " does anyone watch DVDs anymore". I said, I do. Pretty soon, we will need them. Guess what??? Lol
Bottom line: My time is too valuable to waste it watching garbage.
No one over 40 (the new 20) with a job and bills to pay give a *frack* about tinseltown anymore. Those people dug their own grave. May they have an uneasy rest.
Hollywood said GFY to the customer. So we haven’t bothered watching derivative rubbish.
The new audience are the real problem. They never want to spend their money in the cinema.
Mainly because they are imaginary. It's hard to pay for a movie ticket when you don't exist
I haven't watched TV or a movie in 15ish years. Is it really that bad?
@@nucleargrizzly1776well you can watch yourself or trust Gary’s opinion. I trust Gary’s opinion. So do about a million other subscribers
@@RobertKir I don't trust the opinion of anyone that makes money giving their opinion. That's why I asked a real world person. Do you believe everything you see on CNN?
DUNE 2 was so incredibly awesome, I almost cried lmao.
To get a blockbuster like that in this day and age!?
Luckily WB does still produce some top quality solo movies without the Universe garbage...
Disney/ Marvel though... 🤢🤮
The fatigue is high-budget, low-effort, "diverse casting," and "diverse story" fatigue. Everything is about shoving as many different woke lifestyles and messages into shows as feasible, and we're sick of it.
Yep, I remember Sandman almost everyone was gay. To the point it was to off, like it seriously impact immersion because the statistical probability of everyone of a diverse group of people unrelated to one another being gay is minuscule. Even in places like California. It just becomes artificial and forced, reeking of propaganda and people don't like watching propaganda.
Summed up pretty good.👍
@@protestant3207 god no comedy is quite as cringe as woke comedy. The term clapter was coined to describe what they’re going for they just say the talking point and are like am I right? And a few seals cheer it’s so sad 😂
It's not just "diverse casting," and "diverse story" fatigue. It's that they can't just make "diverse" characters that look good. They have to always make White people look awful as story's villains. Whites are always the mean, rapists, murderer etc..
@@protestant3207 Thrown* - FIFY
when a band like rage against the machine is telling you to obey the government you know you're in a clown world
They and their music were always g@y.
Part of the problems with the movie industry are:
(1) Wokeness being preached in movies (see: Disney). The audience wants to go to be entertained, not to be lectured.
(2) Remakes of classic films or films more than 20 years old, and re-done with poor quality writing and performances...especially the wokeness in said scripts.
(3) Sequels. Too many sequels. No one wants to see the newer Ghostbusters or Planet of the Apes series, because it's all been done.
(4) Super hero movies. Too many of them, and despite what the "experts" are saying, people ARE "burning out". And again - poor quality scripts and performances.
Basically, it comes down to poor quality, and a complete lack of understanding of the customer base.
FYI...I've been working in the movie industry since 2001, and I have seen the decline in process.
Speak for yourself old man. I love the Ghostbusters.
@@nickdogg7320 The original? Fantastic movie. Each sequel and each remake - sucks. That is part of the problems in the business.
Don't forget about Hollywood dumbing things down to pander to the normies. I submit that pandering to normies is just as bad as pandering to the woke.
@@rhedosaurus2251 I agree. That being said - there is FAR MORE pandering to the woke than there is to the "normies" (whoever the f**k they are)....
That's why foreign and independent studios are getting popular
They told us not to watch their films because they were not made for us. Now its our fault for not watching?
They realized they need to eat. They have not yet reached a level of self-awareness necessary to ask themselves if they are the reason we stopped feeding them.
We stopped watching. We found new activities; better activities. The next generations will have to be reinticed back to the screen, so at best the industry will regain footing in 60 years. But more likely it'll just shrink to background noise. Occasional viewership competing for our attention that we have given to other activities.
I'm always saying that if you insult your customers out loud, then their not gonna have any reason to support your products. And at the end of the day, that's what these morons have been doing.
Because they underestimated the size of the people they disagree with, and overestimated their own side. They thought it would only be a few handfuls of those who would disagree with them(and anyone who disagrees with them MUST be a bigot of some kind) that wouldn't like being preached to, but when they started alienating their own audience in droves, they realized their mistake but are too proud, and/or too stupid, to admit they done fucked up and make a course correction, and instead blame the audience yet again.
Good point.
This is the second time I've heard Jerry Seinfeld clap back at the woke virus. He's not being overtly political, he cares about his craft. Everyone can get behind that.
He was basically asked why most of his guests were white males, pretty much immediately in an interview! And he said it really p1ssed him off that’s how they’d started the interview!
I've hated Seinfeld since I was a kid but this is single-handedly making me like him, I genuinely don't even like his show
It's interesting that he's speaking out tbh--he seems to keep to himself for the most part. It's gotten so bad that he feels the need to put in his two cents.
Woke people aren’t funny or entertaining. Who knew?
@aaakkk112 They have FY money like Dave Chapelle does and very strong fan bases. They can't be canceled and won't tolerate the woke crap. Codos to them 👏👏👏
GO WOKE GO BROKE the consumers have spoken. Will they listen?
It is hard to believe now that Hollywood produced many of the greatest films ever made. Dull actors, over use of CGI, lack of originality, miss cast diversity and way too much woke has destroyed it.
To Jerry's point, it's gotten so bad that some writers wont even touch comedy. We have a 30 year old black guy in our screenwriting class that just said two weeks ago that he wants to write a comedy. He has a script in mind, but he's scared to even write it because he doesn't want to offend anyone. Let that sink in. DEI activism obliterates creativity.
I’m not shocked. Look at how Dave Chappell got blasted for some of his comments, and had to walk them back.
People like Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Jackie “Moms” Mabley, Phyllis Diller, George Carlin, and Totie Fields would be burned at the Woke Stake.
Let that sink in.
If your attitude in a class before you've even started is worrying about how a tiny minority of group thinking people feel, you've already lost the battle. We must never forget they truly are a tiny portion of every industry except maybe academia. It's people around them being so afraid of backlash that have made this small group so damn powerful. Never thought I'd see the day. Where I come from, we still call a spade a spade if someone's acting like one and damn what they think. The sky won't fall in.
It's also a problem with character writing in general. Every "diverse" character you write is scrutinized for "harmful stereotypes," which generally amounts to any negative trait, period. The consequence of this is that every "diverse" character has nothing about that that's really wrong (and thus can be worked on) and ends up empty, unjudgeable, bland, and ultimately boring, while the flawed white characters with potential to grow are much more interesting.
(And there are still allegations of racism that arise from this, as your perfect "diverse" character giving guidance to a troubled white character becomes a "magical negro." You cannot win by playing these woke games.)
That’s part of commie agenda. People censoring themselves
The left HATES comedy, because once you laugh at the absurdity of their words, actions and beliefs, they lose their power.
I'm a white man and I no longer go the cinema, so I don't make black people feel unsafe or uncomfortable.
@@robbinyah He's being facetious. Learn to recognize a joke.
I identify as white women so you don’t feel uncomfortable!
@@dundascrew5650 How dare you gender yourself!!

Buy your dvds, trade with pawn shops, etc. Keep the $$$ away from these "elites".
Remember a couple of decades back when there were so many good, original movies out we were so spoiled for choice it was tough to pick out what to see in the theater or TV?
Hollywood is where talent goes to DEI.

Excellent!!!
We are all going to die, make some good movies before we do.
Well done!
They constantly remake things from the 70s/80s and fill it with weirdos and swaps and expect normal people to enjoy it.
It isn't really that this isn't really new. After all the Pacino Scarface was a ethnically swapped remake, for example. It's that the people doing it don't know how to be entertaining, and worse it's not even their primary goal.
Yeah, but they don't even respect or enjoy the source material either. Why remake something that you despise? It's too hard to come up with something new with so many rules to follow and obligations to fulfill. But I can't feel sorry for writers when they prioritize messaging over entertaining. They remake these movies to target a certain audience and then proceed to insult that audience. But somehow, they act surprised by all the negative reviews. They're not afraid to insult anyone, but they only come to insult certain people based on sex, race, and religion. It just happens that the people they insult are in the majority, while they search for acceptance from minorities. Unfortunately for them, minorities don't like bad movies either.
Ya, that's the product. Then, the writers who 'write' that go on strike because they think they're more valuable than they really are.
@@Soupy_loopy_"Why remake something that you despise?"_
BECAUSE they despise it, and they despise everyone who loves it. They want us to be nihilistic and miserable, like good comrades should be.
They live in horror of the fact that someone, somewhere, somehow, is enjoying something. They're compelled to destroy that something.
They either don't have the brains to successfully apply analysis to understanding WHY shows were successful, OR they are aware and just want to watch the world burn.
I'm still undecided which it is.
Looking forward to the end of Hollywood award shows.

Ask leftists, "Would you want a DEI hire to be your surgeon or dentist?"
Their answer would be "yes" you overestimate these people. They are truly stupid.
You have no idea of the self-inflicted gaslighting these people will gladly engage in.
THEY WOULD SAY YES, it's a cult, and cult member's don't mind dying for their cult. Not a joke.
Nah, they'd just lie to your face, like they always do. If you set it up so they could choose their surgeon anonymously, without anyone knowing they made a choice, they'd choose the non DEI hire every time.

Ironically, Stuart what'-his-name thinking he can lecture Jerry Seinfeld on the subject of comedy is, in itself, comedic gold.
Also funny that his reporting will eventually cost him his job, those people accelerate bringing the jndustry to the ground
Remember when Al Franken resigned from the Senate due to multiple allegations of inappropriate behavior with women? He's hardly got the moral high ground and should perhaps refrain from throwing stones. And yeah, he's not funny. Well, his waddling walk is kinda funny but that's not intentional.
Never heard of him before, but I've enjoyed Seinfeld's comedy frequently.
Gold Shtewart, Gold!
You dorks got the wrong Stuart. Smooth move.
I'm another former addict 17 yrs clean. Appreciate your work buddy.
The UK used to produce brilliant comedy and TV shows. Now, we get nothing and instead we get game shows with 'comedy' attached or we import foreign TV detective shows. And I'm also sick and tired of the rubbish we are given by Hollywood these days. Its like there are no decent writers anymore.
Im 66, and if i had to hear about the patriarchy or how great women are and how horrible men are one more time. The movies of today are total garbage. The young generation have no story. They all say the same thing, over and over again.
Yeah, I get that. Strange how the traffic is only one way. The shit they say about men would never be allowed to be said about women.
We've been warned several times about their spite.
The woke agenda.
Exactly
I'm beginning to think John Hughes was BREITBARTED... his teens at least had SOULS!
As a Mexican, I can tell you I'm tired of the pc crap and woke movement. I was never offended of stereotypes from Hollywood. I miss old movies and I want good movies to come back, UA-cam is great for T.V. bad shows but Movies are still needed (good movies).
Before everything was homogenized and unrelatable to anyone watching it. The endgame really seems to be to convert humanity into a South Park episode where we're all the same color, sex and speak the same language.
They are very quick to whine about "problematic stereotypes" and how Mexicans have been portrayed in older movies... so, where are the GOOD and ORIGINAL films set in Mexico with Mexican actors they have made recently? Or the great ORIGINAL films they have made about the Mexican immigrant experience in the US? I would watch it. It would be far more worthwhile than yet another shitty diverse remake with race and gender swapping and appallingly cringe lines based on their politics.
Oh, that would be too hard?
I've been to LA. I met loads of Mexicans. The border is just next door. The issue is that Hollywoke has zero ideas and zero talent.
So right this all started with political correctness yrs ago
Planet of the Apes need cultural enrichment.
I hear you man! You can't joke anymore, can't say anything offensive or basically have fun without these woke Internet LGBT morons ruin everything! 🤬

So this year I guess you also won't be joining that new picket group WLM: Woke Lives Matter.
As a gay man I am longing for a simple family comedy where none of the protagonists are gay, trans, non-binary or the family itself consists of 7 different ethnicities. If movies want to reflect reality most people usually don't get to experience that huge amount of PC representation in their inner circle and that is why it feels so fake, at least for me. Maybe there is a streaming plattform with Chinese movies and subtitles... I am willing to give that a try, it honestly can't get any worse 😅
Also a gay man. Woke is supposed to work for me, but it just doesn't. Does it work for anyone? IDK
Some Korean english dubbed period soaps are rather good. No wokeshittery in them.

"You have to force behaviors" -Blackrock CEO Larry Fink
Yup. Exactly! Entertainment is everywhere now, and their delivery-devices: commonplace.
It seems like everyone in the theatre medium (patriots and progressives alike) are zeroed-in for a slot of "cultural relevance" more than trying to be just "personally entertained."
When we didn't have smart phones, the phenomenon was an effect of the crowd liking something.
Now, like you said, industry idiots are trying to ape that without strengthening the society they hate by making their horrible woke ideas the cause for the cultural phenomenon.
The entertainment was what it was suppose to substitute and the theatre was their battlefield for this agenda to operate in.
They adapted the wrong way merely because their ideas are that of a spoiled, entitled, sheltered, overly-privileged, narcissistic psuedo-intellect, and not that of anything normal people living a real life can relate to.
110% on point
@@bentonrp Indeed! My hope is for a rise of independent film makers to come and be the competition that will force Hollywood to either work for our money again or to just call it quits.
Like we learned with Bud Light: a boycott is nice, a buycott is powerful
They don't. Very disconnected from the real audience. They "THINK" they know the audience, because the distributors said so and the international sales agents said so. And the talent agencies say so. In conclusion, unions are useless, can't do a thing, but sue anyone to get residuals. Distributors and sales agents keep stealing money. Talent agencies keep asking for more publishing money, and the studios keep spending on ad agencies. That's the reason why they can no longer make a hit. They are STUCK!!! The youngest generation enters the field, learns from the bad, and they confused too. So very stuck! Psychopath and then Sociopath - it's called the current Hollywood creative. Due to "STUCK". Don't value learning, too much egos. If you are a writer, welcome to join the indie community. 🥰
Kudos to Jerry Seinfeld who hit it out of the park. We’ll never get another All in the Family, Cheers, Married with Children or South Park. I think we’ll see a rise in more UA-cam content creators and independent studios.
Don't forget family matters and the fresh prince of Bel-Air. And also Roseanne and the golden girls and the Jefferson's and good times and full house and empty nest and doogie howser MD and that's 70s show and Benson(70s tv show). And a lot of great shows on TV during the 70s 80s 90s and 2000s.
I agree with Seinfeld about the leftist stupidity but i think the timing is suspicious, he could talk about these issues before but he does it when the leftist are the only ones protesting about the genocide in the meddle east
ehhhh don't forget about youtube censorship - i wouldn't get your hopes up
I always thought Seinfeld played it too safe. Gonna go eat this crow now.
I miss Knight Rider, A-Team, MacGyver, Airwolf, Three's Company, Charles in Charge, Cosby Show, Solid Gold, & a few others...

Watched most of episode 1 of Fallout and when the Trans showed up I was done. I have a rule now and I refuse to support this garbage
I’ll actually defend that one. The demographics were equally represented, for better or worse, but there was no attempt to force inclusion in as a plot point. The way it should’ve always been done.
There was a trans character in Fallout? Who, the butch chick that razor blades her own foot to dodge a draft? I don't think she was confirmed as trans.
@@ayebing I agree with what your saying but since everything is oversaturated with woke forced message agenda now, so when there is a legit reason to maybe have it in entertainment everyone is already tired of it and sick of seeing it and being forced to "Enjoy" the weirdness. So regardless it will go in the "NO" do not buy, watch, or play bin. I respect your opinion and everyone's and I like when people respect mine too and respond like you did. Thanks
I feel the same. I have several little viewing "rules" I go by these days. But they're kind of moot, cause I refuse to watch any modern network anything, including news. I dig and research for my news and entertainment these days.
@@ayebing Not many shows know how to do that so i agree with you. It's like Morgan Freeman said, "Stop talking about it."
Before wokeness and the extreme left there was a time Comedy use to be a trend but since modern sensibilities and the double standards killed that Comedy is barely a thing anymore
I think it's crazy to pretend Hollywood would stay relevant forever. The 90s was the peak and now the industry is dead.
Children often laugh though they don't really understand why they are supposed to laugh.
They laugh because they are uncomfortable and laughing is the safest response.
Adults laugh BECAUSE it is uncomfortable and laughter placates the children.
It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s very disappointing how few comedians have had the guts to push back but look at Dave chapelle and Bill burr and Andrew Schulz, they are still willing to push the boundaries and people love them for it. If a few more comedians realize these people have no power and simultaneously are some of the easiest people on earth to mock comedy could revive overnight.

Young people don't have small attention spans. They just don't want to waste their time and money on garbage.
a lot of them really do have short attention spans
Amen.
I'm not super young but I still *gasp* read books that are hundreds of pages long because they are interesting. Just look at the popularity of things like EFAP, FNT or other long-form podcasts as well. The "short attention span" nonsense is hard cope.
You know everybody keeps saying will Hollywood is over and yet they keep cranking out trash...
Wait till AI replaces all those woke screenwriters.

To be fair, Mel Brooks warned everyone of this. Jerry has just picked up the torch.

When you blame your CUSTOMERS for NOT wanting your product because THEY are stupid, not politically aligned correctly or some other immutable horse sh1t, it is NOT the customers who are at fault.
There is a reason why companies or industries go away. Typically the products the customers once bought, they quit buying. And in this case, it is primarily because the 'sellers' as a large group decided to create a product or group of products that appalled to just a small percentage of the population.
And not ONLY did they sell it that way even after we quit buying, they continue to tell us that WE are the problem for the lack of sales.
Yeah and monkeys might fly outta my....
As an oldie myself I don't get the line of thought in US entertainment and some other corporates. Here in Australia only the largest corporates try to virtue signal but we don't tend to go in for that stuff and are pretty loud in rejecting it. But our entertainment industry can't compete with the US so most of our content comes from there. I know entertainment has always skewed left but as a devotee of old HW film I often look up actors whose politics are listed (something we don't do) and it was almost 50/50 in terms of who they supported. An industry willingly drifting so far one way, claiming to be diverse whilst only allowing a single narrow viewpoint is an anathema to creativity, therefore profit.
8 billion people and counting. A few of us complaining doesn't matter. Hollywood is more concerned with entertaining the 1.4 billion Chinese than the 340 million Americans. I'm 11 years younger, it's not our world anymore, stop worrying about it. Have fun, enjoy the time you have left.
I understand selling to China.
But THEY are absolutely not going to take on all the pronuon, trans stuff. Against are NOT going to accept it.
So that is NOT what Hollywood's target is.
It's ironic that the most successful capitalist country in the world has lost the point of capitalism while communist countries are getting the point of it while remaining a dictatorship - if I'd written a story about this in the seventies it would have been too far fetched.
I haven't seen movies for so long because I don't have one that I want to see!
- And that's a good thing!
No matter how many times we tell hollywood "we don't want to see your gay, anti-male, anti-masculine, misandrist fem-boss, cinematics," like a teen discovering himself, you just keep on comin!
They have to keep pushing the agenda!! People are just beginning to stand up against the agenda. Hopefully, future generations will look back to these dark days of wokeism and won't repeat the same mistakes.

Nothing wrong with female boss if it would be any good. Alien is great example of good strong female charecter.
I'm not tired of going to the theater. I WANT to go, but Hollywood gives me next to no reason to go or take my kids.
Same. I love going to theaters, but what's the point when there isn't anything to watch?

Hollywood and the porn industry coming to an end will be two good things for society.
For me the biggest turn off is, overused CGI and lack of the believable story. Effects are so bumped up but there is no soul.
Sounds like the "Rings of Power"!
I'm so pleased Hollywood decided to self-immolate.
Now that I'm less distracted by TV, I've been reading more books than ever
I’m a below the line worker in Hollywood. We have gotten our asses handed to us over all this. Trust me, all we wanna do is make historically great content, and the the shit the studios is handing over to us to make is horrifying. The amount of stuff that dies in production is ridiculous, and then most of it then doesn’t make it past one season. We watch this crap get made in real time, and are helpless against it.
Hope I get to work with you someday on something great in the film industry. 👊
Sorry to hear that. Sometimes it is difficult to remember all the hard working grunts that suffer because the decisions of the few. Sorry you are having a hard time. Good luck in the future.
I’m a grip and feel your pain. We have a tentative agreement on our contract as of now.
Sorry, honestly…
My daughter found my old copies of “Bantha Tracks” the Lucasfilm fan club mag from the 80’s. They had a bunch of stories on Labyrinth which hadn’t been released yet. It went into the making of all the sets, puppets all the technical magic that happened behind the scenes to make the movie. So last night she begs me to watch the movie with her and then starts rattling off all the details from the stories about how they made the film. Point is, there’s still a hunger for old school film making magic among younger people. Personally, the second I see excessive CGI in a trailer I’m out. I’m sick of the bland plasticity of digital filmmaking.
There are many WW2 survivors (German and others) comparing the current change in culture, media and the introduction of culture rules to how the shift in culture happened in Germany before the war.
(Specifically how it's turning differences of ideology, opinion and race into segregation of population, instead of celebrating the union of differences. Turning beliefs into poisonous opposition through the increase in group thinking.)
I am German and I get your point. I am still not sure whether todays culture is comparable to the horrific past of my country since it included the annihilation of millions of people. But what I see is the cancellation of people who don't agree with a certain agenda and basically get discredited, socially banned or even worse: lose their jobs. What it does is create a huge rift between two groups of people and basically forces people in the political center to decide on which side they want to stand. There is just black or white, no shades of grey anymore. But I highly doubt that this will be more than a zeitgeist phenomenon. Well, at least I hope so.
I call bullshit.
A person born in 1945 would be nearly 80 now and a person with any recollection of what the media was like then would be almost 100 years old.
You’re telling me that you’ve spoken to “plenty” 100 year olds about this topic?
Why are you making up lies?
Well, 2 major factors in my opinion:
1. Wokeness
2. A movie just getting into Cinemas is out on streaming 2 days later
It is more entertaining to watch this entire industry consume itself, than it is to watch anything they are producing these days.
Yup, that is part of my entertainment
Laughs! So true!

Oh, great; we've become communist.
Another reason is local cinemas over the last 30 years have become multi screen establishments and the screens are now really small, while in the same time period TVs have become enormous wide screen beasts!
My massive DVD collection is actually cheaper than 6 mos worth of cable tv subscription. Take back your power, start collecting. You can actually buy dvds cheaper than what it would cost you to stream the same movie.
"A graveyard filled with franchises" is the BEST possible description for Hollywood right now.
I know it was a comic writer, but basically all of entertainment said, "if you don't like my politics, don't buy my book/show/movie" and we all said, "aounds good".
Aside from the movies being crap, the movie theater experience is such a poor one. I took my mom to a movie around 6pm on her birthday several years ago, to see avatar 3d, and the place was abandoned of employees. There was one person selling old popcorn, candy and sodas at just utterly obscene prices, but no other employees between us and the theaters. No one checked our ticket, there was a bin outside the theater with the 3d glasses for just anyone to help themselves to. We could've gone into any movie, maybe we even could've lived there for a day or 2. The theatre was so much smaller than they used to be; I walked away feeling like we had really been taken advantage of. Like I handed a man my money to stick by head inside a cardboard box for 2 hours. I felt like a cow that was there to be milked. Movie sucked of course. And this was the riverwalk theater downtown San Antonio, not some cheap theater time forgot.
Dusting your office must be a nightmare.
For decades we thought that to be in Hollywood actually took talent. When the internet came on the scene and we saw people making quality content from their kitchen tables our eyes were opened. It was smoke and mirrors all along.
Amen.
When I was in the cinema to watch Dune 2... I sat through all the trailers and commercials for upcoming films. And I knew Hollywood was in deep sh*t when I realized that after 30+ minutes of trailers, there was not a single one that even remotely made me want to watch any of them.
The last movie I saw was about 6 months ago and yes, the trailers were shockingly bad. They were so poorly constructed that they were actually painful to sit through and made me angry.
Modern trailers just spoil the whole movie
@@DaniG.German883 Exactly. Example - The Alien Romulus trailer gives away major scenes with the Face Huggers that should have been kept secret for a surprise. Most of the film and ideas are in the trailer all thats missing is the outcome / ending. Compare it to the Alien trailer from 1979. Just a scroll over some landscape to an egg that cracks for green light to spill out...then a few tiny bits of scene and nothing at all revealed of the monsters or what is going on. Other than corridors, spaceship and planet...and by this point its got to a pounding heartbeat tempo and chilling shriek sound effect added in....its unsettling, scary, gives the feeling something hideous is going on and the humans seem out of their depth and terrified....its one of the best trailers ever made for a film. It sets the scene, creates atmosphere and scares you while leaving you wondering what is taking place. By the time its over you cant wait to see the film...
Me too. I have only seen Civil War recently. That was the first movie in nearly a year.
@@DaniG.German883 Yap! Got excited for about 6 secs watching the new Deadpool trailer, then it all went downhill from there.
Could you imagine Jackie Gleason doing comedy today? He would "trigger" half the nation for threating Jr. that he was going to " go home and slap your mama!". Best lines from the Bandit Series.
The nice thing, with the knowledge that cell phones have created personal conversation phobia, maybe we can get back to talking, going out to dinner and look around and see more talking than reading!!

Tatiana Maslany will be in her deathbed still blaming the fans/audience for not liking the terrible She-Hulk and the “brilliant “ writing of Jessica Gao. Girl, move on. 😂
She was good in season 1 of Orphan Black. It's been downhill from there.
Who wants to pay $20 a person to see a poorly written film when it will be streaming in three months? I'm never going back to a theater.
There are no lines at home. You always have a good seat at home. You can watch with whomever you choose.
@@winoodlesnoodles1984 trying to keep my local cinema alive in my very small town, I assure you that there are no longer any lines there, either.
@@CheshireFelineI went to the theatre three times to see Godzilla Minus One, with various friends and family. It was never packed. But it’s still a nice thing for a group get together.
I stopped theaters in the summer because of head lice left behind by child matinee customers. Soon a few other reasons arrived: the radicalized kooks who like to shoot up a soft target and the nasty strong greasy odor of artificial butter for popcorn. Thankfully other good choices in the safety and comfort of home exist. Oh, yeah, another plus is not having someone with a huge ‘fro take a seat in front of me, then begin screaming at the screen as if the recording would modify an actress running so she wouldn’t fall down and help the perp get her.

I'm an American who recently moved to Taiwan. I walk by the local movie theater in my neighborhood shopping mall every day. The Taiwanese people are lining up in droves to see movies at all hours of the day. Apparently, Asian filmmakers are still making movies that capture their audiences' attention. It's a sharp contrast to the dreary desolate movie theater in my hometown back in America. So movies are not necessarily dead in other countries around the world. Just in America.
At least the likes of Netflix has recognised some of what viewers want. Having triple world subs as US/Canada combined it's buying up or paying to produce more localised content we can all access. As a non American and part of the world that never had the entertainment finances to compete much, we were generally stuck with mostly US stuff whilst HW bragged the world lapped up its content when it was more lack of choice. Now internal politics have spilled over to the point of even pissing off Americans (other westerners mattered least) it's welcoming some US companies recognise non US content can widely appeal. Though I don't get Netflix capitulation to HW in light of its power.
And these foreign producers will eventually find out that there is a mass of disgruntled customers in the West longing for good entertainment. Bollywood is slowly but steadily coming.
The best movie last year was Godzilla Minus One...by far. Japan, Korea, and Scandinavia are making far better movies than woke Hollywood. Dont watch their lazy remakes. Dont watch the woke stuff.
I remember when the local AMC 16 opened up at the mall, they had two different concession stands open. One for the front 8 and one for the back 8. Now, they barely staff one of them.
It's about culture. They don't have woke culture -> they don't have such problems 🤷♂️
We are showing how bad Hollywood is with our wallets, and they still say we’re wrong
That is why Sound of Freedom did so well, it was relevant and moving and unforgettable. When is the last time Hollywood made a movie that even had one of those qualities.
I refuse to go to the movies anymore. We stopped when you had to pick your seat, and they started playing commercials!
Laughs! ... and you get frisked down for drinks and edibles.
Time for a resurrection of the "Drive In Theatres"!
I've been watching "old" movies and tv shows for the past 16 months...
And it's been GREAT!!!
I don't waste my money on woke.
Ditto. There's thousands of older things that can be revisited or viewed for the first time. That plus content like Nerdrotic, Critical Drinker, Heels v Babyface etc, we don't need hollywood anymore
There's plenty of older stuff to choose from. Every plotline has been explored, and summarily regurgitated.
Same! I have been collecting physical media also
i think I'm going to get into the Mentalist tv show. Fascinating premise.
I've been doing the same including old chat shows, I'd rather be "up to date" with Lettereman, Conan or Craig Ferguson from 10-15-20-25 years ago, or even Johnny Carson. The current ones are unwatchable so I'm enjoying reliving in the past.
Ive regressed growing older. I no longer care for new tv series’s and most movies and video games coming out. Instead ive been getting more into Audio Books, and older videogames from over 10+ years old.
Video games are awesome because you are using your own self determination and not sitting passively there. Do more of that! I think it's far more healthy than sitting watching "hollycrap". At least game worlds are amazing and and if you haven't played it, please play the journey. It's amazing. It's one of the most beautiful games I've ever come across go to the forum and look at all of the really lovely comments. You know, it's a good one Because it's a game other players thank each other for playing complete strangers!) I've played it a number of times now. I really wish people would get more into games !

As Steve Martin’s character said on “The Simpsons”: “[…] it’s so gratifying to leave you wallowing in the mess you’ve made. You’re screwed, thank you, bye.”
True, i just want things to get worse for these people just out of spite and curiosity. Things will most probably get better when hollywood gets replaced by people who care, so we shouldn't be too concerned.
I never realised that character was voiced by Steve Martin
Many times, we learn the most, from other's mistakes.

Not even started on the depth of the darkness in Hollywood and music Industry
I have enough old movies and shows to keep me happy for the rest of my life. Most new things are trash and I rarely enjoy new movies or shows.
Same here, X files,Highlander old Godzilla movies, 80s movies
My kids grew up watching boxed sets of Little House and Andy Griffith and Gilligans Island because Hollywood has sucked for a long time.
I'm currently re-watching Bewitched. Never being happier.
The problem is that discrimination and hate laws have made it impossible to fire the people who are the cause.
It's so true about old sitcoms! I'm 35 and are just now watching through King Of Queens for the first time (I was a kid in its heyday, and then started working plus started a business and couldn't watch till now in life) Its amazing! The jokes and situations they do would never be done today. So many other 90s and very early 2000s sitcoms are so much better than anything on the silver screen today.
Have you tried Frazier? My favorite
Spot on EVERY TIME, Mate.
You always end up providing some of the best entertainment out right now, by a landslide.
Once you know the truth behind your favorite actors, you actually start to despise them. The things they do for fame is SCARY👿
In the last five years they have been unmasked as compliant monkeys dancing to the tune of whoever is paying. That's why H is not glamorous anymore and there are no stars left. Maybe Tom Cruise is the last remaining one. The new crop are activists serving the message.
They have revealed themselves to be compliant monkeys dancing to the tune of whoever is paying. But I understand, the money is good
With the increased attention on Hollywood, politics, wokeness, etc. actors have shown their ignorance, self-centeredness, narcacism, despicable behavior, etc. Knowing who they truly are destroys the characters they play. When I see these actors playing a role, I have a hard time embracing the character over the real person.
@@be23skido that's why actors in the past have been apolitical, distant and only making very rare public statements to say something of importance. In the past, you were very lucky to see your favorite actor appear a few times a year on chat shows and maybe do a magazine interview once or twice a year, and many of them even more rarely. Now, they post w0k nonsense 20 times a day.
That is why I usually don't listen to commentaries on DVDS and actors on talk shows. I want to love the character... the actors are just blank canvases who act like the character they portray. I don't care about their personal lives. I don't want to know their politics or world views. They are actors, not philosophers.
Seinfeld talking common sense, that is all
Seinfeld living in reality.

If all this leads to people who would be going to the movies reaching for a good book instead it could be part of an American intellectual revival.
I was absolutely furious when they riptapart Lucas arts because my uncle is one of the few guys who helped build that division from the ground up and they just completely destroyed his literal life's work over their own fucking egos and hubris.
Those are the people. I feel bad for not these producers. Or actors or directors? No, the people behind the scenes actually doing work, who actually have passion and love for what they do.
Yep, just to years later create "Lucasfilm Games"
Someone redo the Hollywood sign to say: "HUMAN RESOURCES"
It would be hilarious.
Some human resources people are necessary in large companies but when you let an industry be controlled by HR women who have no idea about the actual product but are hugely interested in diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, your company eventually goes down the drain. We let a bunch of talentless people take the reigns in Hollywood and here we are.
@@wombatillo The sole product of HR is those tasks that can be done by executives off the edge of their desk in a couple of minutes.
Replace the y-letter with an o-letter and you’ll get an accurate description of what they’ve become: hollow wood.
I tossed my tv in the garbage around 2013.
There used to be so many great comedies from the UK too, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Fawlty towers, The Fast Show, Only fools and horses, Fonejacker, Monty pythons flying circus, The office, Extras, inbetweeners, the young ones, bottom, farher ted, the it crowd, so many more. But nowadays we have nothing, Jerry's completely right the far left killed comedy shows and films.
