I've said many times Hollywood was dying, and it should. It isn't even a ghost of what it once was over eighty years ago. It has become a slop of hedonism, debauchery, left-leaning crap that mocks America, Christian values and just plan talentless gits no one wants to watch. Besides, the internet, XBox and so many other forms of electronic entertainment have been competing with it and most families just couldn't be bothered trooping out to some theater and paying almost a weeks wages to see garbage. Let Hollywood die. It deserves to.

Since its establishment, Hollywood “talent” has always trended left.

The studio moguls kept them in line as long as they ran things. But with the collapse of the studio system in the late 60’s, the leftward tendencies were allowed to slowly infest the entire creative system. Now it’s almost completely infected.

And the public is starting to avoid them like the plague.

The “Entertainment Industry” in general does not get it. They should provide a diversion from our day to day lives. When they start to constantly agitate, they become grating to us and we begin to turn them off.

Worse for them is the advancement of storage technology that enables me to enjoy so much of the best entertainment of the past that I do not need the current producers of entertainment. I already possess access to more great movies, plays, concerts, TV shows, video games, comic books, radio shows, music, novels and other books than i could possibly ever consume.

Hollywierd beware.

Whether you want to admit it or not, you have favorite movies, TV shows, bands, whatever. Without them, without that escape, life would be miserable. You can deny it all you like, but you know it’s true.

But I could make the case that all the good movies, and music has already been made. I don't need new stuff when the old stuff does just fine.

Those people don’t care. They have F you money.

I do have favorite movies, the overwhelming majority of them were made prior to about 1980. They serve to remind me just how bad most contemporary movies are by comparison.

It seems like nearly every movie made today is either an inane comic superhero movie, an uninspired remake of a much better earlier film, or a glorified propaganda film that beats viewers over the head with politically correct messages about "diversity."

Imagine a Saturday Night Live skit about the Oscars where Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey keep trying to sneak down the red carpet and everyone tries to pretend they don’t exist, or celebrities covered in ribbons and pins for and/or against every cause imaginable to show they care. But liberals would hate that, moreover they’d be embarrassed by it, so it won’t happen. Instead, there will be a skit about Sam Nunberg’s public meltdown while Donald Trump and a porn star watch it from a bathtub, or something similarly “cutting edge” that has been repeated all week on the late-night talk shows.

And unfortunately the hate filled entertainers are very predictable - the above prediction is 100% accurate.

“That’s Hollywood – the crazy man holding signs, yelling at everyone that they must conform to his will or they are evil.”

*sigh* Follywood and tv Celebrities... Is there ANYTHING they don’t know?

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

QUOTES by ROBERT A. HEINLEIN

Robert A. Heinlein Quotes and Sayings!:

“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an actor is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he/she opens his/her mouth.”
