I’ll wait for Top Gun to come out on 4K disc...then I’ll buy it used on ebay.

I don’t know why any sane person would want to be in the same room with a Harveywood degenerate!

[gundog]

Yup. Pawn shops are a good source of DVDs that Hollywood gets no revenue from sales.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Beyond the dumbed down content, Hollywood goes out of its way to insult ordinary Americans. They have no love for normal Americans. The feeling's mutual. I'm done being mocked and insulted.

[null and void]

Best example? James Bond. He's no longer a womanizer. But that's not Bond, ffolks!

[nutmeg]

LOL

[Grampa Dave]

You nailed it with this semi hidden summary remark!

Hollywood is so Woke so they forgot how to entertain.

My wife has the best summary of what/how Woke dtherove us away. There was no way she would waste our time and money watching Woke BS/?? Now, we call it Woke, that insulted us, our friends, family now in the past and our country.

We can't remember the last time, we bought tickets and went to see a movie in a real theater.

We cut our cable about 10 years ago and basically haven't watched a movie on TV even before we cut the cable.

*sigh* ffolkes, folks

HBO and premium cable channels are next to go. I keep HBO now to watch Bill Maher ... the rest of it is Hollywood/ Sexual Weirdo/commie crap.

[AlaskaErik]

It’s been 20 years since I set foot in a movie theater. It’s been years since I’ve watched anything on television. And I don’t subscribe to cable, satellite or any streaming services. I don’t miss any of it.

Please let the death of Hollywood continue and more importantly, RUN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM OUT OF GEORGIA. Please. Pretty please with sugar on top.

I’d gladly volunteer to run an excavator and/or wrecking ball to tear down all of their studios and facilities.

[qaz123]

They went ballistic—lol. BRAVO!!

[MinorityRepublican]

We cut our cable about 10 years ago and basically haven't watched a movie on TV even before we cut the cable.

There's a lot of old shows you can watch for free through streaming. You can just download an app on your firestick and you can watch I Love Lucy and Leave it to Beaver!

[wardaddy]

How many films or cable content do freepers find worth watching annually

A half dozen

I mean Taylor Sheridan preaches some

Or his masters force it

I remember reading a book (on another subject) a while back where someone, who lives in L.A., said it was the center of occult universe for the world, and has been for a very long time. Dark and depraved.

[FLT-bird]

Funny you mention Bond. The Bond film before last was the last time I’ve been in a movie theater. They ruined the franchise so I refused watch the last one and will not watch any in the future.

[Billthedrill]

Among many reasons for the downfall of Hollywood (and it's real) is one critical one that grows more glaring by the day: writing and direction have declined in quality to the point where the best acting isn't even relevant. Disney's current difficulties with a truly grotesque mutation of Snow White (for the stale excuse of "reimagining it for Today's Audience"), turning classic romance into a grim feminist anthem, is a case in point - they're doing this because they don't have any better material and because management has morphed from entertainment to social engineering, lately due to the demands of the money men but also due to addressing a deterioration of their cultural relevancy by attempting to strong-arm the culture itself. Which is fine, one supposes, if one happens to be an apparatchik in a communist ministry of entertainment but not where people have the choice as to where to spend their hard-earned cash.

Woke has killed Hollywood or at least mortally wounded it, and the people there refuse to admit it with a stubborn arrogance more typical of a Grievance Studies sophomore or a cult member than an honest vendor. They were always liberal, often communist, but generally managed at least to be subtle enough about it to make a buck. No more. We don't watch their stuff anymore, we submit to it. Or not.

Television beat the movies twice. Once in the 1950s when movie going ceased to be a weekly ritual for Americans, and once at the end of the century when cable TV was turning out more compelling work than the movies were — and then there was COVID and the lockdowns.

Today there are so many streaming services and so much content on them that some observers are saying that movies could make a comeback if they got their act together. All the streaming services make the TV universe too fragmented. People want “things they can talk about at the watercooler,” common viewing experiences that bring them together, and movies could provide that if they get people back into the theaters.

Film did have a comeback in the 1970s, when they were showing us things that television couldn’t, but I don’t think movies will rise to the occasion this time. They’ve run out of ideas, and the only projects that get financed are sequels and reboots that the industry thinks will make money.

I was shocked to see the $29.99 price tag for streaming the new Barbie movie on Amazon. A new movie streamed for 24.99 not so long ago. Bandits.

all movies should be in IMAX 3D...format/theatres; thats a salable product
