My only hope so far is that the audience will be the ones to spark change. My media teacher from my highschool was the one that taught me how important "AGENCY and CONTROL" is in the industry. The most significant example being when the Sonic movie first came out - the whole movie was pulled and re-edited because of the response to how he was animated. So if you think about it, Hollywood could easily get a big enough kick in the pants if the audience pushes hard enough. Cause tbh, with the way movies are going, any of us could write a better script than the sort of writers they pay to do the job.

I always said that David Tennant was one of my least favourite Doctors, but one of the nicest people involved with the show. I withdraw the qualification.

[@Anna-fw7lm]

I'm so disappointed by him too. I think he's trying to be smug and cool because he's dealing with a son that claims to be a T (or any other sh*t to feel relevant, because it's difficult when you have a famous parent that's also more populare and cool than you would ever be as a teenage when it's supposed to be your time) He may be terrified of the consequences, the treatments and the implications... is his son losing his mind because he just needs attention or has he been SA'd and that's the result? His approach is the worst possible, he's surrounded by people who do not care for his son but only about themselves and to 'gain' another one of them 'cause misery likes company.... it's like when people with H1V knowingly transmit it to other people 'cause they're scared to be sick and alone. This woke virus is spreading the same way

[@MistbornPrincess]

DT was my fave Doctor but I too am disappointed. I’m glad I never watched him come back to DW.

[@bri55118]

Tennant was overrated as the doctor. He was famous because of all the fangirls watching the show. Plus he married the daughter of the 5th doctor. His 10th doctor was average with a bland costume. His personality for his version was all over the place at points. He did have some good stories, but so did everyone else playing the character. Tom Baker might have been the most diva of the classic series, but he never insulted the fans.

[@stephenmcdonagh2795]

Same, Tennant is a shameless one trick pony that no longer has any tricks- bar having a trendy trans kid who'll grow up to despise him. It's also why I'll never be able to see any Ne Niro movies in the same way again, it's as if he's just finished crayoning in his, Third Reich for Dummies Colouring Book. I don't think he realises that Trump couldn't have repeated any Hitler phrases as they were written in German and were too indecipherable even if you could read German.

[@loke6664]

@@bri55118 The difference is that it is fine to be a bit of a dive but not a full blown narcissist who believe you know everything and should tell people what to think and how to vote. To, Baker was iconic as the Doctor, it is fine for him to feel proud about that. I don't think Tennant wasn't bad in the role but he have become a total weirdo since who believe since he is an actor, he knows best about everything.

Good luck explaining why the 2010s and 2020s will NOT be talked about for hundreds, if not thousands of years. We are living in historic times of great change, and that's very strange to hear you attempt to disagree. I overall agree with the risks of using such a phrase, but you know full well that there are plenty of legit uses for such a phrase.

Last night, watched the tng episode final mission with my wife, the one where Picard is dying and almost killed. She remarked how tense it feels, and how invested in the character's conflicts and acting she was, and even though she's absolutely aware Picard is wearing head to toe plot armour, the dire situation in the episode, the level of the writing and acting on display caused her to literally forget he was due to be back next time. When I look back at great tv series of the passed, from classic Doctor who to startrek or buffy, there are so many instances like that, where the very limitations of the medium caused people to bring their A game. Unfortunately, the converse is true, take away time constraints, take away the need to write or act well, or work out how to tell great stories without a massive production budget, take away the need to bother worrying about what the audience think, and you literally have nothing pushing you to do better. Hollywood can pretend to be on the right side of history as much as they like, but they've forgotten that they're also on the wrong side of quality!

It legitimately makes me angry that business has forgotten what it is. The entertainment industry is a business industry. They make products. It is their job to make us want to buy their products. If they fail at that it is not our fault it is their fault because we are under no obligation to buy their products. I wish they would remember that. The audience is what matters not the modern audience that doesn't exist. Which has been proven over and over and over again not to exist by their movies and TV shows made for it failing! I'm sick and tired of being blamed for their failure! Although I'm very happy to have helped make it happen!

It's too bad that so many people have a bias against old things, because every movie you haven't seen is a new movie to you, even if it's from the 30's. I've been a fan for decades and STILL haven't seen every pre-1970 horror and sci-fi film. I have more passion about those than I do about some new slop coming down the drain.

[@LaurenceBlunt]

@@MonsterKidCory Many yars ago a work college was stating how much a movie buff he was. I asked him what sort of movies he watched and they were all modern (1990's+). He then asked me what some of my favourite movies were and I gave him a small list. He responded that he had never seen any of them, then said "are they black and white? I don't watch them". That's when I told him that he was not any sort of movie buff, if he is willing to exclude some of the best movies ever made just because they are in black and white. PS: My list included "Stalag 17", "The Apartment" and "Some like It Hot".

Good for you, try telling that to the minimum paid worker on a production line that has no bargaining power. Here in Australia the Coalition have done there best to destroy the Union movement leading to people's wages trailing the cost of living. Yeah you continue over performing, just like a hell of a lot of other people who don't have your apparent privilege in negotiating a higher wage. And before you ask, am setting up a medical business, there's a hole in our market, and will pay our employees above average, and yes are not taking a huge salary myself to get the business up and running. It's always the right claiming moral superiority on all things, the rest of us live in the real world, you know the place blue collar workers are apparently able to get those higher bucks just by performing their jobs, go talk to some MacDonald's employees on minimum wage to see what a load of rubbish that is.

I literally made a list of movies from the last 100 years that can entertain me until I die old. If Hollywood and European cinema don't stop recycling and left-wing propaganda, I won't go back to the cinema for them.

[@LaurenceBlunt]

@PakoVero The last time I went to a cinema was a thing organised by the company I was then working for in 2010, before that it was a cheap Tuesday afternoon ticket to watch Serenity (the Firefly movie) in 2003. I also don’t subscribe to any streaming services. I buy (and therefore own) DVD’s and Blue-rays. mostly purchased second hand off of Ebay. I then RIP and reformat to X.264 so everything is accessible at any time without hunting through the physical media. I have a knackered spine along with being over 6" tall so cinema's were uncomfortable 20 years ago and would be torture for me today. But having a 65" TV and comfy arm chairs at home is far better in every way. If I need the loo or want to get another beer I can pause the movie, I can alter the sound volume to my perfect level and if I miss something I can skip back a few seconds. Add to this no little sh!ts kicking the back of the chairs, no sticky floors, no half-wits yacking or using their phones. No 20 minute drives there and back, no parking fees, no extortionate prices for food & drinks, etc, etc..… plus the movie always starts when I want it too.

[@HardcandyofJustice]

It would be no issue to just take the hours streamed of a show and pay the actors accordingly. But this would reveal to the public how horrible the modern crap is doing. When Ziegler demands to be paid for every hour that Snow White is streamed, is she aware that this will be like $34.47 per year?

[@LaurenceBlunt]

I would say the majority of TV has always been a bit naff, we forget when looking back all the shows we avoided and naturally only remember what we considered to be the good stuff. They were still making some good shows in the 2010's and running up to about 2014. Shows like Elementary, Grimm (ironically set in Portland), Castle and Burn Notice were all started in the late 2000's and ran on for 6-7 seasons into the 2010’s. I purchased the Burn Notice box-set (second hand off Ebay) a couple of months back and have been enjoying a few episodes a week since then. I also have classic TV I loved as a child from the 60's and 70's onwards, like ST:TOS, Bewitched, "Alias Smith & Jones", Porridge and "I Claudius", along with more modern TV like B5, Buffy, SG-1 & Atlantis along with those shows I listed above. My library has over 2600 TV show episodes and close to 500 movies at present and it is growing every month or two. I spend more time playing computer games and on KZbin than watching my TV/Movie collection, and I spend an average of maybe £10 a month on physical media (including CD's). I have not watched broadcast TV for 6 years now (Oct 2018) when I cancelled both the TV-TAX (in the UK) and Sky subscription and my only regret is that I didn't cancel them both a few years earlier when I was first thinking about doing so, as the quality of TV was dropping fast.

I recall a podcast with someone from movie industry. He said that now diversity in the cast is no longer enough. Every crew member needs to be diversified. It means, he proceeded, that highly technical positions need to have diversity. And there are not nearly enough POC people for those positions because they are not interested in those jobs. Those are the jobs that white men enjoy and do well. So, when there is a diverse man or a woman who can do that tech job well, they will pay them triple because if they dont, someone else will snatch them. Thinking about what he said, I am asking myself, is terrible CGI in new movies stems from this issue? Terrible fight sequences, stupid shooting angles. They must have filled with women and POC every project in Hwood by now. The only people who can ignore this cancer is those old famous moviemakers who earned their place long ago with dozens of successful movies.
