What the fuck is up with Hollywood being behind the public on culture
They used to give us titties when not everyone wanted them, violence when people were shocked by it, conspiracy theories when they were more obscure, antiwar movies when the public was rah rah.
Where is the citizen vs scummy journalist movie?
Where is the blockbuster about the US kicking ass with an allied Russia?
Where is the horror movie about an ex muslim being hunted by honor killers?
Where is the movie about scummy regulators?
There are new frontiers out there...

I'm making the point that the corporate shits running that industry aren't interested in art or new ideas.

Absolutely no interest in new ideas since new ideas come with risk. They'd rather make another Avengers movie.
Consider how even their "new" films are just rehashed old films that were successful. They can't make a new SF film because it's safer to make shitty fake-SF like Star Trek over and over.

Ender's Game was a film adaptation of a novel published in the 1970s with two separate novel series following that have a HUGE fan base. There was nothing original about that (and they still managed to totally fuck it up, by-the-way). Batman v. Superman can hardly be characterized as original and, again, there existed a huge fanbase and multiple comic series based around the idea.
Think of the film Alien. That was a risk. That was original. Today it would be trivial for these clowns to decide to remake an Aliens franchise film, and they will make a decent profit, but it won't be original or interesting at all.

The internet was around for the gross out comedies, it was full of comic book nerds before the comic book movie craze etc... I give you sex, but the rest could still feel fresh.clubgop wrote:Nothing that the internet hasn't rung through the cleaners.Hwen Hoshino wrote:They used to give us titties when not everyone wanted them, violence when people were shocked by it, conspiracy theories when they were more obscure, antiwar movies when the public was rah rah.

I'd kill to see a quality Osfront film and something really telling the story of Stalin's 10 day non decisions during the initial invasion. Hell anything showing the utter craziness of the conflict in Poland and the partisan killing on all sides.
The good, the true, & the beautiful
