Hollywood is repulsive because its filled with repulsive people.
We have people without values lecturing to us about values.
Enough of the hypocrisy.
Faster,faster,faster.
“...I watched them for work...”
You need a better job.
Note to Hollyweird: If anyone wants to actually make some money and has nine figures to invest, give me a call about a little something I call Red Bits Productions. Good stories, sane budgets, great box office. But I won’t hold my breath while I wait.
I want to have mercy on them.
I want their demise to be quick!
Haven’t watched an Oscar’s nor any other awards show since the 70’s.
The media/entertainment types thrive because there are enough a$$wholes who watch their crap and who fawn over “celebrities.” I couldn’t give two rats’ tails twitches over the glitzy, faux-smile, hypocritical, false-virtue, empty, shallow shells that pass for “celebrities.”
As far as most Hollywood “celebrities” go, I would not perpendicularly traverse a linearly configured conveyance route to micturate upon them were I to ascertain that they were rapidly combining with oxygen.
I was done with the Oscars in 1978. I have a VERY long memory.
The catalyst: Star Wars was up against Annie Hall. As usual, they would show a scene from each of the contenders. For star wars it was an amazing battle scene, like nothing ever seen before in cinema. For Annie Hall it was a ridiculous “Lobster in the Kitchen” scene.
It was a no brainer, except it wasn’t. Annie Hall won.
It was that day that I realized the award was political. I never watched them again.
They realized movies can influence people’s thinking. Now that’s all they want to do. It’s all about power. The liberal mind knows nothing else.
What is seen in society now is a catastrophic failure of primary Virtues,
Gratitude, Humility, Prudence, Fortitude, Courage, Justice,
Temperance, Chastity, Charity, Patience, Kindness...
Replaced by the false gods of “Values”
No TV show will “change the way you view
I disagree with this statement. Advertisers would not spend billions of dollars on commercials if they did not influence people.
What Television does is set the “norms” for society. Early movies did as well. Television (and movies) replaced the old village story teller who past on life lessons.
I hope Hollywood enjoys the world they are creating with the life lessons they have been teaching since the the 1970s. They blurred the line between right and wrong, worse, they preach that each individual can decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong.
A society can not exist (peacefully) when there are no rules that everyone understands and obeys.
I hear ya....
Sure doesn’t influence me. I hate their crappy movies anymore. Never watch!
Last night I re-watched The Maltese Falcon and while I have not seen it in the past year or so, even after seeing it probably a hundred times in my 70 years, it was still an enjoyable experience.
77 years after it was released, it is still has a beginning, a middle and an ending; believable characters and plot; top notch production, fantastic direction and great acting from all even down to the extras. AND no politics at all. Now, try to find that in just about any film made today or the recent past--
So many people just have to be a part of changing the world, are deeply driven by that desire. Hollywood, news people and teachers are in those ranks. Now, pubic school students are, too. But, their ideals are utopian, emotion-based and illogical. I’m so damned tired of this bs.
Just following the lead of the NFL...
As an actress relative said one day. The industry likes edgy movies that the rubes do not.
