Hollywood Is Dying, And The Elites Don't Care... |
2020-10-16 |
Can't. Happen. Quickly. Enough...![]() [ZH] I don’t write much about the entertainment industry because, frankly, I see it as mostly irrelevant to the bigger picture. Geopolitics and economics are the great driving force in our society, and the elitist groups that influence these elements should be our primary focus. That said, I have to admit that pop culture is a pervasive element of American public psychology, or at least it was until recently, and for decades the masters of pop culture all reside in Hollywood. I have been a film buff for at least 20 years and I understand the business; I was even a screenwriter at one point and obtained an agent, but after dealing with the slimy behavior of some of the Hollywood ilk I was immediately disenchanted and decided to walk away. What I realized at the time was that the entertainment world is designed for a very specific purpose: To steal the energies of talented people and exploit those energies to achieve the most meaningless or manipulative endeavors. The people that manage and own production and distribution companies are for the most part talent-less; like most narcopaths they have no capacity to be creative. So, they must feed on the intelligence and imagination of normal people in order to fuel their business. If it stopped there, then maybe the system would actually work and there could be some symbiosis. Many artistic people don’t handle business very well, so someone has to. But, production creatures want more than money, they also want to micromanage the message of every film, TV show, video game and product that is released. They want to inject their own ideologies into every release. They do this because, as narcopaths, they desperately want to feel creative power even if it means hijacking the projects of others. They also do it because they have an agenda to influence society to accept or reject certain ideas; they want to mold the politics and values of the public.

#21 Day of the Siege, though not a Hollywood flick. Today's topic include a new book by Fred. Even the conservative scripts which do make it, as the article points out, gets its pants taken down and bent over the pinball machine. There is enough material in Tolkein's Silmarillion to do two or three more prequel series, what they do is Game of Thrones: Middle Earth. |

#20 Didn't realize Donald Sutherland was such a turdgobbler. By the end, I was wondering how the movie made it past the censors. |

#18 #16 Today conservatives don't know how to tell stories, or don't want to. That is not who we are! |

#12 Probably an unintended consequence of China's biological war against the rest of the world that Hollywood is suffering these days. Too bad, so sad. |

#11 #10 yes, indeed. I have long wished for alternatives but what has been offered is soon corrupted. I went short wave back in the Vietnam days for example. Internet was nice for a while but now control freaks and trolls are all over the place. |

#10 Conservatives should have created an alternative long ago. Could have made a fortune on patriotic movies during the early days after 9/11 when the left was slowly turning pro-Islamist. |

#9 Been dying for decades. Just took a reason for Americans to not go to the theater to finish it off. |

#8 The "Elites" don't care? Oddly enough, neither do I. |

#7 Let's get back to the days when people with a skillset were valued many times over someone who wore makeup and played dress-up. Make Actors Losers Again |

#6 The Rome burning collapse of Hollyweird was prophesied way back in 1939 by Nathanael West in Day of the Locust. |

#5 If you really want to get their attention, go back to the original period of copyright circa 1800, instead of the infinite period they bought from Congress. |

#4 Ref #3: At one time Hollywood was owned by the rail roads, then by wealthy Jews, but it was sold to China Sounds like a South African mining concern. |

#3 At one time Hollywood was owned by the rail roads, then by wealthy Jews, but it was sold to China and Japan. From there it rotted away. Farewell Hollywood, an industry of sex and corruption from the onset. |
