The Fall Of Modern Hollywood
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 кві 2024
- Hollywood has fallen and recovered before, but Hollywood is currently failing at an inopportune time of transition. A.I. is advancing, people are fed up with the constant bombardment of social messaging. Streaming has been a failure for most studios. Home theaters are cheaper and better than ever. The writing industry has been turned upside down by a wave of incompetent writers being given jobs way over their heads. CGI houses are burned out and sick of companies like Disney. All of the old guard, talented animators are gone. Movie budgets are out of control and films are losing money in the billions. Will Hollywood recover and what will it look like if it does?

Nicely done hopefully your channel will grow.
Totally agree with your point about the quality difference with movies shot on film. Looking as gorgeous as they did until the 2010s (thankfully we still have PTA, Nolan, Tarantino, Guadagnino, Shyamalan and Jeff Nichols shooting with it), you can 100% understand why movies felt like special events to get hyped for vs the forgettable and throwaway look that digital gives where you feel indifferent about whether you have time to see a movie or not.
It’s like CD or MP3 vs Vinyl. I have hundreds of CDs and thousands of iTunes MP3’s, but also have 1,000 vinyls. The only time I listen to CDs of MP3s is when I don’t have access to my vinyls
When I Was a teenager in the 1970s going to the theater was a joyfull event.Movies were worth going to.
My Genz grandchildren....Hollywho ?
Same for me in the 80’s and 90’s. It was something to look forward to, all your friends were going to be there, you’d hit up the arcade, have fun waiting in line together. Now it feels like work
Nothing lasts forever. Video games are more interesting than Wokeywoke bullshit.
!00% and you get countless hours of entertainment versus a coinflip at best, of whether a 2 hour movie will be good or not.
Truth! Nice Demolition man cameo....now I need some Taco Bell! 😂
A Border Run is definitely in order
Heathen! All restaurants are Pizza Hut!
@@LimitedCheetah Pizza Hut is irrelevant!
This only further justifies why I pirate everything
The High Seas is the way to go these days 😂
The person providing the stream is the pirate. You are going to the pirate to get a view. This is like saying when you buy 2 grams of weed at a skate park you are smuggling.

My understanding is that the studio gets a higher percentage of ticket sales in the first few weeks, the theater gets a bigger percentage of ticket sales after a few weeks. Of course the theater gets all of the money from popcorn.
It depends on the studio. But as a rule of thumb, the easiest way to rough calculate box office is the studio gets 50% of the domestic box office and about 40% of the international, with countries like China taking 70% of the box office. Then for marketing it’s anywhere from double the movie budget to 50%-75% depending on what kind of film it is.
1970’s the railway children, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
The Railway Children was made in UK, not in Hollywood.
Comic book superhero movies, endless remakes, sequels, and franchises, 'flavor of the month' stars, leftist political propaganda , lousy multiplex 'cinemas', and CGI have destroyed the movies forever. May they rest in peace. Have you ever noticed how every film looks exactly like the last one you`ve seen??
Pretty much what happens when they’re almost all digital and the studios are creatively bankrupt 😂
It really is sad and pathetic
Right political propaganda
Really??@@juliaanfloress
Ha! So funny….. I mostly enjoy watching “old movies” which I was too young to “get” when they came out…. Or other flicks I missed out on for whatever reason…. And for video Games…. I bought myself an “emulator” system….. now I have EVERYTHING from the past…. I am all set….
😂 You my friend, are a man with a plan. I still have all my old retro systems going back to Atari 7800 and mostly watch older films as well. I try to find and support the random gem that comes through and indie films, but that’s about it for new stuff.
Ha! I got my emulator mostly cause of random arcade games I used to play when I was a teenager in the 90s…. Most of which never got a decent release on home console back in the day!
@@alejandromolinac I have an emulator as well for days I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like changing cartridges and discs 😂
speaking the truth is an everyday occurrence for you. count me as someone who's inspired
My studio is going back to Old School filmmaking.
It’s so long past due and there is a demand for it. My sister has her PhD and teaches film at university and even younger generations are taking an interest in traditional, true film making. Give me majority practical effects and preferably shot on film 8 days a week.
There are heaps of real, compelling stories that are waiting to be told
Funny…. I find most “modern” movies so ugly to look at….. from obvious shots on green screen…. To lazy “pasted on” looking fog and light sources…. To…. Why do “night scenes” now look like they just adjusted the level to make it dark?…. They all look like garbage….
So true. They also use the “dark” or “washes” to hide poor CGI, like on the Kenobi Series and Rebel Moon. Modern films lack the artistry that movies on film could achieve when done right. The stuff shot on The Volume is pure trash. In the hands of a capable director, many of these things can be used as tools but we have so many incompetents making films and shows that they use them as crutches
Yeah…. As I type this…. I am watching the original Alien movie…. Lost of “dark environments” where they shot them just right…. Plenty of strategic lighting to accomplish highlights so you can see what’s going on….. nowadays that would look super flat….
@@alejandromolinac It would be all muddled with zero contrast and minimal use of actual lighting. My buddy and I were just talking about the Alien franchise the other day. Movies like Alien and Aliens show there's zero excuse for not having dark scenes look sharp, other than laziness and/or incompetence.
What people seem to not understand is that movies are a very expensive art form. Do you really expect people to consistently give millions of dollars to satisfy a particular artist's sensibility?
I’d argue the most common thing people know about film is that it’s an expensive art form but to your point, look at it like Monopoly money. What they’re naive to is the logistics and where the money actually goes. I think very few people have an understanding of that.
The average person has no idea the cost and coordination needed for something as simple, yet complicated as feeding a crew of extras on location.
Unfortunately budgets are so out of control as is, then you add in companies like Disney finishing CGI and then editing, as opposed to editing and then finishing CGI, the surprising move away from story boarding and this more recent practice of attaching a bunch of producers on multiple levels that have nothing to do with the project other than collecting a check and slapping their name on the credits and you have the perfect storm for runaway budgets in an already expensive art form.
Have you heard of "Hollywood accounting," when authors and artists are defrauded of their money and films are made to appear to be losing money in order to deny artists their share of the profits?
@@xenon6947 I’ve heard of it. I have an accounting minor and it was originally my major, I wanted to be a Forensic Accountant, basically the accountants that go into places like Enron and tear apart the cooked books to see who hid what, where. Hollywood accounting has absolutely happened over the years in some situations. But that’s not what we’re seeing here. This is a mass exodus of theater goers. When you factor in inflation and the cost of tickets and numbers of tickets sold, it’s unreal how far Hollywood has fallen. Cooking books to cheap out on an old comic book creator or author of a book is one thing. But the numbers don’t lie. Even with corporations buying up chunks of tickets and people not looking at number of tickets sold, just looking at the fudged box office numbers with doubled ticket prices from 15 years ago and those box offices still suck, Hollywood is in catastrophic failure. If you take the Star Wars Prequels and adjust for inflation and ticket prices, they blow away the sequels. The sequels suck and now that the real costs of them have come out, it shows how little Disney made on them, but the average consumer just sees box offices over $1 billion and thinks they were successes when they really weren’t.. The average person just sees box office and doesn’t understand or even care, rightfully, about the numbers behind the “box office”.
Well, when will we launch #fixhollywood trends? I think it will be relevant.
I think we’ve reached that “now or never” point for fixing it, once we get through all this backlogged crap
