"It's no longer 1937! That cartoon was made 85 years ago!" Yes and it'll still be remembered long after you're gone, that's why it's remembered.

[@rubix4195]

That "cartoon" was the first cell animation features in motion picture history and it was during the Great Depression in the US and after the First World War. Walt almost never made the animation because of the expense and his family tried to talk him out of it, he took out a second mortgage to get it made and the press were all calling it "Disney's Folly". It's an actual piece of art like the Mona Lisa is to painters - the techniques learnt in that process was used by animators for the next decade. For some young actress to demonise it and denigrate it is like comparing why didn't Leonardo Da Vinci find a subject that would please modern audiences forgetting what the Italian Renaissance was about and the art that came after it. I am going to hazard a guess that she failed history at school...

[@geophrian]

No it won't unfortunately. Actual Indies cannot get financing because the studio and tech behemoths (Apple, Amazon, Google) have total dominance of theaters, streaming platforms, and thus, of funding. No one wants to fund a film that will only be on Tubi and lesser platforms. To get a film made a filmmaker has to either be inside their system already, or just be in very wealthy circles (which is why so few films reflect regular people). I was lucky when I made my first feature streaming was still a Wild West and streamers were hungry for Indies. That film did quite well and helped finance my second. The second one was better reviewed (by both audiences and critics) but was impossible to sell to streamers. Got it on a few platforms (gave it to them for free) and they buried it under their originals to the point you'd have to scroll for an hour to find it. Suffice to say it bombed. Funny enough, both films now make more off KZbin than any of the other platforms. Spent the past two years trying to get the next one made. It's been optioned by a producer who did Lethal Weapon and True Romance, yet he's been out of the studio system for years now and can't get funding. The script has similar themes as Sound of Freedom so maybe that will help spark some interest. Who knows. Lastly, so this isn't all about my struggles: A producer I know in Oklahoma has been trying to develop a few films for the past two years. Unless it's a faith-based film it ain't getting made. Basically, filmmakers have to appease the woke mob, the god-mob, or the corporate mafia. There's no money in honest independent storytelling anymore.

[@geophrian]

@@elLooto I'm sure that is where entertainment is going, no argument here. I've been telling my colleagues that for a while now. But, here's what we're all losing when that happens: Best review I ever got wasn't from a critic but from a Marine Vet who had a blog. He wrote a long beautiful article meandering from his experience with the film to experience in war to thoughts of his brothers he served with and ended it telling his readers to watch it saying, "Maybe you watch it and it prompts you to make the call that could save a life." Had another vet tell me after a screening he was at he went outside, chain-smoked a few cigs, and tried to understand what he was feeling until it hit him: "I felt like I wasn't alone. Like if some dumbass filmmaker could tell my story there are others out there telling him the same story." Having AI regurgitate our favorite action movies back to us with different character mixes isn't going to do that. It's not going to connect us or illuminate us. And that's the problem, too many confuse entertainment with art. Entertainment is getting what you want in a fun way. Art is getting what you didn't know you wanted in a new way. Yeah, a lot of it sucks but that's because art is hard. Entertainment is easy (despite how much our mainstream sucks at it). I love Nerdrotic, Drinker, and the whole crew of critics ripping on my industry but my frustration is that the conversation focuses so much on the problem (I've been hating Disney for decades now) and rarely touches on what makes movies powerful (Drinker does get into it some times which I appreciate). As Fran Lebowitz once said, "Great art is made by great audiences. Great audiences create great artists, by giving people the freedom to take chances." I worry that our audiences only want entertainment - to relive their childhood joys through comics, toys and stories - and because of that we have an adolescent society unable to grapple with adult issues. AI will give audiences what they want but will it give them what they need? Sorry for the long rant. I'm pretty passionate about this stuff. :) But, I didn't get into this to make popcorn entertainment for chumps. I got into this to make art for thinkers and doers. To make stuff that challenges me as much as it does my audience. It's partly why I'm a nobody because that stuff doesn't sell out AMCs but the letters I get from my audience thanking me for making them feel seen, for helping them understand a loved one going through hardship, or just helping them see others in anew light, are what I love doing. To me, that is the purpose of making art.

"Woke" refers to a form of hard-left identity politics practiced today whose roots trace back to the Frankfurt School of Cultural Marxist critique originally popularized in the United States through hateful radical polemics such as the book "The Authoritarian Personality" in the post-WW2 era of Western Civilization politics. The tenants of wokeness are founded in a series of diabolical bigotries and the willingness of their adherents to do anything (illegal,immoral, or illicit acts included) necessary to attain the cultural/social/corporate/political power necessary to promote the dominance of those bigotries over the lives of everyone else. Wokeness is explicitly, thoroughly anti-White, anti-male/masculinity, stridently misandrist and feminist, and relentless in it's attempts to invert Christian moral tenants in favor of the widespread promotion of sexual degeneracy and pathology (ie, homosexuality and transgender genital mutilation).

It is NOT about hijacking other people's work, changing it beyond recognition, and calling it your own. It is NOT about trying to force people to accept your "new and modern take." That is laziness; it is ineptitude. It is plagiarism! A LACK of creativity and integrity leads you to accept credit for a legacy you had nothing to do with and which you now seek to destroy. That is why your box office takes are suffering. You are clearly more concerned about indoctrinating the public than telling a good story. You will be your own downfall. How does putting down one gender promote equality? Surely, it rather promotes inequality. Thank you for pointing out the misalignment between what you say and what you do!

I have friends and family that would be considered "normies" or "casual viewers" that are not part of any fandom. They have turned to their DVD collections or turned to watching older more classic TV Shows and Movies on streaming services. Why? Because the writing and acting from decades ago was far superior. The one item I would love to see but we probably will never know. I want to see the numbers from streaming services during the strike related to TV Shows and Movies that are say 20+ years old. For my household alone we have been watching older 70's/80's/90's sitcoms, binging the hell out of them, and mostly from FREE streaming services like Crackle and Tubi. The same goes for older drama and sci-fi shows. Strictly because the writing and acting was better. Add to that the fact that shows back then were not used as a 30-60 minute soapbox to push current agenda. Those older shows stuck to "escapism entertainment" and gave you stories and acting that made you want to come back for more.

shut up, you have no idea what you are talking about. If you have even been close to an audition then you can say what you know

[@uberyoutuber3892]

This is why cable had contract termination fees to stop people from jumping ship when the lull in good TV inevitably came around. Charging people to view a limited catalog of films and shows was really stupid to begin with. It's why Disney opened the floodgates with production on everything, giving a false impression that it had a bunch of stuff that was worth subbing to.

[@flamingphoenixscorpio]

Gary, so awesome bro, as usual. May this strike never end. We have plenty of entertainment over the years to fall back on.

[@AngryLittleAmericansCartoons]

I had watched Forrest Gump a few months ago and im still blown away at how good of movie that was. The acting, the story being told, I was captivated at how.we went from something as moving as that film to what we're getting now

[@michaelsegriff3362]

Fortunately, we have Blue Beetle and The Marvels to look forward to.

[@Kingeptacon]

When Forrest Gump came out I had the option of seeing that or Blown Away with Jeff Bridges. I chose to see Blown Away. Oops. On the flip side back in 1998 I went to see Powder but it was sold out so I had to see another movie that I’d never heard of called Good Will Hunting. Needless to say I was blown away.

[@martintimmer8574]

Now Tom Hanks no longer sees himself playing a retard,they had to hire a real one...

[@masterJZX]

Forrest Gump is not of the worst movies ever made.

[@lojanta]

I recently watched Shawshank Redemption with my dad :') such a good movie!

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

Fortunately for movie lovers, Hollywood is not the only source of entertainment if you're willing to look elsewhere in the world. Lots of talent and fresh ideas out there.

[@Outlaw7263]

Watch Italian Spiderman, or Japanese Spiderman. Either is good.

[@rosesacks7430]

​@Outlaw7263 where would you find that entertainment?

[@ronaldbobeck1026]

TUBI has every Soviet Army Movie made. A real Gem "The Pilot " based on a Soviet Air Force flyer shot down by the Germans , a true Survival story of courage .

[@Demothean]

There’s 100 years of movies and tv, plus with KZbin we’ll be okay without Hollywood.

[@skibumrx]

I just watched dodgeball last night and couldn’t stop laughing my ass off. The whole time thinking that there is no way anyone in Hollywood would make a movie like this now.

[@mrjohnnyk]

00's was the last era when Hollywood would still make a good comedy.

[@breasonable4343]

And yet you saw it.... hmmm

[@jamesmorgan2064]

Or Tropic Thunder

[@johnwayne9828]

😂😂😂"That dike can play"....yeah, they wouldnt be able to make it today.

[@samblack5313]

@breasonable4343 Explain your response, and explain how it relates to the original post. I’m genuinely interested how that brain cell you allegedly possess came to posting what you did, in response to what you read. Op: movies made 25 years ago wouldn’t be made today You: and yet you saw it Makes no sense, buddy.

[@agitadora60]

Old geezer here, I just recently dusted off my VCR and rewatch Network, wow, what a prophetic movie! What really impressed me was just how good the writing, acting, directing, etc was. On a funny side note, I just got banned from a group because I dared to call Strange New Worlds, crap TV. People appear to just be accepting mediocre entertainment as the norm. Well I grew up surrounded by excellent entertainment and I refuse to put on blinders. So while I support workers right to strike, frankly they can keep walking around in circles all they want, I don't miss them. Thank God I've got my personal stash of golden oldies.

[@JM-vp8zc]

Classic film! And yep, the physical media libraries are paying dividends.

[@michaelhill8269]

Old geezer here too, my friend! I get banned from practically everything. Joined twitter in April, booted out last week Not my fault everything is shit.

[@michaelsegriff3362]

Have you watched The Hospital? Also by Paddy Chayefsky.

[@underthepale]

As I've been saying for *years,* "Network is now a documentary. They Live is now a documentary. Escape from New York will soon be a documentary."

[@UltimateCerberus]

From all chaos that rose up throughout human history, this one I'm actually grateful to be alive to witness it.

[@burntumbrage6868]

It’s kinda one of the only things we can say that about in our current situation-our consolation prize, so to speak.

[@UltimateCerberus]

That description doesn't fit me. I'm always more keen to see a huge and evil Goliath meeting his spectacular and fiery demise than to see something nice rising up against all odds.

[@CoercedJab]

Pathetic

[@CoercedJab]

@@UltimateCerberusthe huge and evil Goliath OWNS Hollywood and can take the hit 😂

[@UltimateCerberus]

​@@CoercedJab Your precious Hollywood is burning, what your Goliath owns will only serve to make a bigger noise when it finally falls. I'll be here watching both your god and gospel die.

[@TheValoisMadness]

This is why I'm trying to get into the film industry. I want to be part of a spearhead of actors who want to put out good, maybe even great, content that isn't beholden to a message. That people would enjoy seeing. Perhaps it's a pipe dream that I should give up on. But I believe it's a beautiful dream.

[@SpeedyGaming]

My dude, you are walking into a goldmine, once Hollywood implodes, out of the ashes rises the Independent filmmaker. Don’t give up… pay attention to the other imploding mediums, comic book companies, gaming companies. Look up dreamer, Hollywood will be gone but others will look elsewhere. The Iron Age is upon us. You got this friend. 🎥 💪💪

[@samcar06c]

I remember the 2007 strike and it felt like it went on FOREVER. I can't believe this one has been going longer, I don't know that I've really felt the loss in the way I did back in 2007.

[@anthonyzullo]

I think in 2007 Netflix wasn't even streaming yet, they were a DVD service I think. So no, we did NOT have many choices even in 2007, compared to today.

[@config2543]

I love that last line. “Take your time. We’ll be over here entertaining ourselves.”

[@SlidingRhino]

Another great posting from Gary the GOAT! Someone needs to be out filming and posting the strikes online for our amusement!

[@DexLuther]

Netflix only succeeded because it solved the expensive mess cable TV was and was legal. Then the companies turned it back into Cable TV by starting their own streaming service.
