Disney at least sold the rights back to the originators. But Disney is hemorrhaging money. And it walked away from the biggest sleeper hit of the year. Bob Iger should be asked about this in every interview.

The fact that Disney shelved it opened the door for a brilliant counterculture marketing strategy. The people behind this film have played their cards perfectly. The left is totally off balance and flailing.

A hundred million is a significant amount of money to start a serious film-making group. Something will replace the ailing, China-beholden, LGBTQect overrun, America hating Hollywood.

This is that something advancing.

Good movies are still being made, just not as many as we would like. Even the Borg manages to churn out a few here and there. Foreign films are gaining traction in the U.S., and some of them are good. I've become partial to small indie films; it's hard for the DEI commissars to blitz a writer-director team of one, and the grifters tend to lay off the lower budget films with small casts. The bigger the movie and the bigger the studio, the bigger the target for the shakedown artists, and shakedowns are a big part of what is driving the madness. Corporate America generally has shown itself to be led by gutless cowards who don't have the backbone to stand up to a twitter mob. The movie industry tends to be as culturally liberal as the universities, which means it is a soft target to begin with.

It has become a convention on FR to use "Hollywood" as a generic term for "anything in the film industry that I dislike." If that's the definition, of course most freepers want to nuke "Hollywood." But there are a lot of players other than the big corporate giants. Let Disney, et. al. crash and burn. The saving remnant should be supported.
