Many years ago, I got sick of movies & TV and only watched an occasional one I found interesting. It's even worse in recent years. At the same time, I had been gaming on the PC for ages and, mixed with doing a lot of my jobs on computers, would get regularly burned out staring at screens anyway. So I started going back to tabletop gaming as a past-time hobby about a decade ago. Going back to a tactile analog experience, so to speak. Seems like I exercise my brain in different ways, especially with big comlicated ones. Fortunately there have been tons of solitaire and co-operative ones coming out for years so I also don't have to limit them to scheduling with friends, although that's just another added facet. The gamer version of turning off the TV and reading a book.

I don't know what's happened but the writing in Hollywood has gotten so bad like so so bad. Just take the Witcher season 1 yeah was mediocre but writing was ok.. now season 3 it is beyond terrible like not even high school level. Something needs to be done a big clean out and I think that is what audiences and even studios won't so I don't think these strikes will go the way the writers think. Disney for example almost seem to be happy with the strike.

Hermione granger from harry potter. Plenty of examples in cartoons and anime like kim possible. Your 2 examples are likely the most famous female protagonists and both are damn good characters. As long as the writing is strong and the arc is consistant then they can work just as well as a male protagonist.

[@TOXICRAVEN123]

​@@mr.awesome6011message above replying to your question

[@TheSulross]

Of course neither characters of Ripley or Sarah were superheros There's a definite suspension of belief required to watch the superhero genre and when it comes to female "superheros" their plausibility goes to less than zero. There is nothing remotely resembling them in the actual real world. At least with men there are real men that have done incredible things that border into near superhero status. Think about Rudder's Rangers that scaled those impossible cliffs at Pointe du Hoc to knock out the Reich's big guns overlooking the ocean as part of the D Day assault. There are a lot of such heroic deeds accomplished by men that on examination come close to looking like feats of impossibility, but they actually happened. Women heroes are heroic in a different manner - but those bear no resemblance to the Woke political fabrications of Hollyweird. One of the sad things about Woke feminism is where it attempts to hoodwink women into thinking they need to be like men in all respects - which the obvious implication of Woke feminism therefore is its covert view that there is something inherently inferior about being female vs male. Hence all the false projection. So sad. So sad.

Writers and actors on strike...hell this makes my year!

[@jacksonsilva4409]

The "this movie isn't for you" - "why didn't you watch this movie?" thing is 100% accurate. They make shit content and we must watch it and like it.

Hell no, I won't watch it!

Longer. Two decades plus. Just because they got lucky a few times doesnt make them smart from the decade before.

Theaters need to start promoting and showing the very best of past movies. That way they can keep their doors open and the new generations can see what good entertainment looks like on the big screen.

[@jonathanbrown7250]

There are a ton of great movies many haven't seen on screen they could show. How many hordes would like to finally see Casablanca in a theater as it was meant to be seen? Or who the hell wouldn't want to see "Die Hard" around Christmas?

With the 20th anniversary of spider man 2 coming up I wouldn't mind seeing it in the movies.

We should take a moment to reflect on the origins of Hollywood. It emerged from the era of vaudeville when traveling groups roamed the country, performing to earn enough money for survival and sometimes exchanging entertainment for essential goods. While there were established theater groups that were well-known and traveled extensively, the majority of performers were often individuals in dire financial circumstances, willing to adopt exaggerated characters to amuse the audience and secure their livelihood. As time passed, film and television evolved, bringing together societies worldwide through shared entertainment. Whether it was meeting a stranger at an event, airport, bus station, or even in the military, people could find common ground in discussing favorite actors, such as aspiring to be as brave as the Lone Ranger or as charismatic as Clark Gable. These discussions were rarely seen as political; rather, they offered an escape from the hardships of life, turning the pages of novels into vivid on-screen experiences. News outlets highlighted the lives of these actors, portraying them as almost god-like figures or icons who seemed larger than life. However, over time, it became increasingly challenging to hide the flaws and imperfections of these individuals. Occasional scandals, substance abuse, affairs, and other crimes shed light on the reality that they were just human beings, often grappling with the pressures of fame and making extreme life choices. Unfortunately, a trend emerged in the form of reality shows that exposed some celebrities' strange values and behaviors. This glorification of fame and wealth began to influence young people, who saw such behavior as their life goals, emulating the excessive lifestyle of celebrities. The idea of feeling superior and special due to fame became deeply ingrained across generations. Consequently, some celebrities began using their fame to exert unwarranted influence, and their actions, no matter how harmful or extreme, were supported and even promoted in trending circles. This shift deviated from the core purpose of entertainment - to provide joy and an escape from hardships for people living difficult lives. As we ponder the future of Hollywood, we may witness a process of transformation to maintain power and profitability. The addiction to the allure of fame and influence, much like Gollum's obsession with the "Precious" in Lord of the Rings, will not fade easily. In the midst of their own downfall, we can anticipate more drama, more extreme measures taken to preserve their position. Yet, this may not lead to a "happily ever after" ending. When the credits finally roll, we might observe a list filled with diversity hires and individuals focused on matters like pronouns, often overshadowing the essence of true entertainment. Ultimately, the real story of Hollywood's fate remains to be seen, but it is clear that significant changes and challenges lie ahead for the industry.

It's honestly mind blowing that late--night TV shows have so many writers, yet they are so chronically unfunny. What were they being paid to do?

[@larrypatty8333]

Spot on. Love the Film Actor's Guild reference. Hollywood quit making movies and television for me a long time ago. There are enough old movies, tv shows and anime to keep me entertained. And plenty of people like Gary creating actual content on the internet also.

[@willdegra317]

I've been going through a couple top 100 lists. And that opened my eyes to how great westerns and other genres can be. Not to mention old school movies from Japan. So I got decades of stuff to watch without worrying about what new leftist propaganda is being produced.

When there is a demand for a product that's no longer available, someone will eventually fill the void. Give it time. This will all work itself out naturally.

Gary, you've been absolutely ON FIRE these last few months. I've always liked your content a lot but your latest long stream of brutal heavy hitters is just something else. The writing, the editing... everything just top notch and WAY, WAY, WAAAAY more entertaining and satisfying to watch than all that sludge that comes from Hollywood.
