“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.” – Michael Moore.
…lack of originality, along with wokeness, the red ink carnage of the streaming wars, and the lingering effects of the most recent strikes, has led to a deep recession in Hollywood, so much so that Deadline has a regular Hollywood Contraction feature.

If they’re starving, to quote a famous liberal, “let them eat cake”.
I don’t like to see people suffer, but with the Hollywood crowd, it’s pure schadenfreude all the way.
Suffer, you insufferable bastards!
When the Jews ran Hollywood it was a going concern. Then the socialists ran it into the ground, like they do with everything they control.
The Jews at least understood that the films needed to be entertaining if they were to be successful. There may well have been messages – and many of the films of those days do have messages – but said messages were did not overwhelm good stories and good acting.
Is there supposed to be a link? The lines stand well enough on their own but usually there’s more to a posting.
Within the context we have: it’s a good start. Faster, please.

Hollywood can perish for all I care. Raze every studio and backlot and salt the earth. A viler den of communists does not exist in this reality.
I thought the “link” was one of those Hollywood haute cuisine fusion sausages that always go first.
My bad.
I’ll meet your Michael Moore and raise you one Bill Maher. Lack of originality is the least of Hollywood’s concerns. Maher is always late to the party…but I’ll give him a pass for this one.

Take a bow conservatives…we were right all along.
Mahar had been having a lot of good monologs the last year or so. Thanks.
And yet, he’ll still vote for the D
Canada is the country you get when people like Maher are in charge. Then he goes whoop, I’m just a comedian, what do I know?

This will simply get worse for Hollywood in the wake of AI. Now AI can write all the movie scripts, and AI can generate moving images of actors.
Didn’t South Park have a robot that did all of that? Awesom-O? The only real question is, Adam Sandler, or Rob Schneider? (they riffed on Schneider starring in all possible lame move setups later, this clip is aimed at Sandler.)

The prediction of the future direction of crap like Chatgpt is almost uncanny. The portrayal of anything by Adam Sandler as sheer garbage is all too appropriate. But then South Park always was the leading edge of what was worthless in modern society with humour that bites oh so deep.
I can’t help but suspect that things like AI and Chatgpt are going to destroy Hollywood even faster than the Disney implosion under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy. And with the rubbish they’ve been dishing out, they deserve it.
Good call, C_Miner.
The irony is that Schneider is a staunch conservative, and that although his stupid comedies are where he makes his money, Sandler is a surprisingly good actor (see Reign Over Me, and to some extent Fifty First Dates).
FILTHY LIBERALS can’t draw Flies.
Marxists like Trudeau can only Seize things, they are really Stupid and have ZERO original thought.
Notice all the crap new films, nor remakes of classics can’t even compete with reruns of FRIENDS, or Seinfeld.
Everyone should Hate FILTHY LIBERALS

Politics.. War time propaganda.. Golly gee, lets cut off our dicks, make everything black and tell the boot camp stories nobody wants to hear..
Its a good thing money has no value anymore :).. Float me a few of those borrowed billions because Im fighting the good fight :).. Hollywood hates what it is and would rather play politics on our dime than deliver low brow entertainment..
Its everywhere you look..
Will this eliminate the grotesque and endless ‘celebrity’ adorations that we have to suffer through, like who cares what movie star thinks about; blah blah blah?
That, I won’t miss.
