Would we even miss something if Hollywood is gone?
All the committee-made cookie cutter blockbusters we’re all sick of hearing about will be gone.
All the indie movies with genuine heart and passion in them that no one has ever heard of because they don’t have the marketing budget will be fine.
What about the genuinely well-crafted big budget films? Are we ready to toss those out as well? Movies like The Dark Knight, Avengers: Infinity War, John Wick 4, and now Barbie and Oppenheimer are as much a product of the Hollywood blockbuster system as the cookie-cutters. I don’t think Hollywood and passion are mutually exclusive.
Your examples are meh…
I’ll miss my job…
You’ll get a new one, with blackjack and hookers.
Are we pretending the majority of the population doesn’t derive massive enjoyment from Hollywood productions? Is that the play here?
We are rather observing we’re poorly representative of the majority of the population. And that’s a good thing.
I mean yea kinda… They provide virtually all the mass entertainment for people all over the world.
Send it all to GA.
Nothing of value will be lost if Hollywood disappears.
Disagree. But it should remain dead as long as these shenanigans remain
