TV industry executives out of work, describe their struggles. (My description)
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
It’s unfortunate that they small people are being hurt most by the decisions of the bigwigs, but there is nothing that will interest me in seeing a movie ever.
I’ve only been to a theater a couple of times in the last decade or so. I just watched everything when it comes out on DVD or a streamed and now it’s just streaming. But a weird thing has happened to me. When I’m watching action movies in a fight scene starts I fast forward to the end of the fight scene. All I care about is who wins the fight I don’t need to watch all that crap in the middle.
I guess as I’m getting older I’m more interested in the story.
More good books have been written than I can read in my lifetime.
Or to quote Grandpa from The Lost Boys,”Read the TV Guide, you don’t need a tv…”

I won't pretend to know the reasons all of these people are out of work. My own experience is that I simply don't watch regular TV anymore. To me, so much of is repulsive and disgusting. I think revulsive would fit here too. They can take their woke agendas and shove it.
One thing that stands out in the video is that all the people are white. (Although Wilfredo Hernandez is Hispanic.) Surely, they must be aware that white people are vastly underrepresented in commercials and TV roles now. And, I suspect that non whites are getting preference over the people who can't find work. Further, I suspect that these unemployed Hollywood workers vote Democrat and support "woke" ideology and hiring practices. If they do, it's biting them in the butt. And that folks in Hollywood, is not reality TV - it's BRUTAL REALITY! By the way, if you all can get hired, McDonald's is hiring and they pay 20 dollars an hour.
So many of the actors are hateful and big mouth leftists. Hateful to the point people no longer want to see their movies.
The movies are preachy wokey crap or remakes of past stories done by actors far more accomplished than what we see now.
Creativity is dead, killed by wokeness. I miss good stories that haven’t been censored to the point of losing the original intent of the story.
I would bet most of these people voted for Biden and the left. This is what you get. They can add themselves in with the other Americans that the leftists have screwed over like in the oil industry and auto manufacturing etc.
There are many, many more TV series produced than in the old days of just three networks. Was there a boom and bust in cable channels’ original content which isn’t made up for by streaming services’ increase? Has the technology of digital editing improved so that one editor is needed where four used to be? Has the industry realized that executive producers don’t actually do anything?
Dang - you are all fast. LOL. See post #10.
Hollyweird now exists to launder money for Deep State.
And, at that, it’s very good.
I agree. See post #10. These people are mostly television industry workers, but I theorize that movie leftists have created a backlash against the television workers too.
According to The Hollywood Reporter last October, Disney has decided to push back the release date for its redo of the Walt Disney classic.....now known as “Snow Woke.”
The delay is no doubt in response to the drubbing Disney got when they released images of Snow White alongside her dwarf pals (below).
While the lead actor looked more or less as expected, her seven companions all appeared to be portraying the DEI’ed seven dwarfs as a racially and physically diverse group of people, as opposed to a septet of people with dwarfism.
At the time, Disney scurried to emphasize to Vanity Fair that while those early photos were from Snow White’s set, they were not “official,” and depicted “stand-ins” for some cast members.
Obviously, set photos aren’t always indicative of how a movie turns out, but does seem to indicate that the new live-action Snow White is not going to take notes from the beloved 1937 Walt Disney film.
But given the approach Disney’s taken to updating its other remakes, it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see the new Snow Woke’s dwarfs looking like tricky woke cuties...... not like the story that made them famous.
It also did not help when Snow White star, Rachel Ziegler (Rachel who?), made some deplorable feminist-laden woke statements about her movie character.
Disney got crucified for trading dwarfs for diversity.
They should have kept that money instead of giving it to the Democrats. They’re not going to get it back no matter how many tax breaks the boy Governor gives them.
Probably yes to your questions.
I watched the new Top Gun movie when it was on Netflix (I only pay the minimum monthly fee for it). Last time I went to see a first run in the theatre was They Shall Not Grow Old. I will be going to Los Angeles in early May and even then, I won’t be going to any show tapings (maybe twenty or thirty years ago, I’d have done at least one). It will be just to see museums and the Queen Mary and not to put money directly into the pockets of the entertainment industry.
Just one case in point.
