    In the same way science and cameras and stuff kinda killed religion, I think social media and knowing so much about celebrities and how films are made and just having so many of them, has killed capital-H Hollywood. Also, as ever, something something capitalism.

      Good. Hollywood needs to learn to adapt to what people actually want and need and stop shoveling out slop left and right, and especially they need to drop the number of streaming services by at least half because most of them are just money pits at this point💯💯💯

      @TheNewMexican78 Hollywood is operated by people, and those people need a wake-up call because what they're doing and selling isn't working anymore

    I think julia louis dryfus spoke about this actually and was on the money.
    The truth is Corporate consolidation, leads to more of the industry being "for profit" rather than for art. Studios want to make 4 movies a year, and each to make a Billion. They have to cater to every demographic for that to happen. it has to be overproduced.
    This ultimately leads to the death of the superhero genre imo. Where at some point every superhero movie was indistinguishable from the last. Their goal was to spend 200M on 1 movie, and make it make 1Billion. up to a point that it killed the entire genre.
    We are seeing studios do this more and more. AI im sure can make those movies, but the heart of cinema, art, will always be human. and i dont think AI could ever really capture that

    streaming would be great if the state had one streaming service with everything on and funded films and tv directly. this isn't even that far out, france funds like 80% of its film industry. and they famously produce low-quality unoriginal cinema...

    So long as governments around the world offer tax incentives to make movies they will be made no matter what jurisdiction.

    Gotta deal with the way in which the industry existing at all, and the culture of replication and distribution crowding out local culture etc, is an essential attribute, not an abberation.

    Once AI Video advances, Hollywood will undergo a reboot. Studios will save millions, movies will take half the time or less
