Hollywood underperformed an underperforming market in 2022, losing 40% of its market value — more than $500 billion — led by the woke trio of Disney, Netflix and Comcast. The men of Right Angle step up to save a dying American icon…or bury it.

Couldn’t have happened to a bigger bunch of degenerates and self important losers.
I have now taken to watching old (1940s to 1950s) westerns on my tv.
Better than watching what’s at the local theater.
I have a friend that bought a season pass to the movies. She’s happy to watch the ‘pablum for the masses’ and sees everything that comes out because it’s ‘free’. I gave up on trying to talk to her about her taste in entertainment.
I’m having difficulty remembering when the last time I went to the theater to watch a movie. I think it was for Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Don’t ask me before that as I have no clue.
My husband and I used to go the the movies a couple of times a month and see 2-3 movies at a time. Those days are long gone. They don’t even make good popcorn movies anymore, let alone any with a good story. And I certainly don’t need to be preached at with an ideology I don’t buy into.
Even on the streaming side I have a hard time finding something good to watch. I gave up Netflix well over a year ago. I won’t subscribe to Disney+, so that leaves me with AppleTV+ and PureFlix for TV shows and movies – plus the free stations like Tubi and FreeVee. And even though they have a decent amount of content between them, I still struggle. Like Bill, I watch more YouTube than anything else. I also find that I continually go back and rewatch older movies and TV shows that I know are good.
That same girlfriend gave me a gift card to RedBox. THAT will last a while…
Don’t feel guilty about signing up for Netflix, Hulu, etc. for a month or two to watch something specific and then cancelling. Believe it or not, Hollywood is terrified of that model becoming the new normal
To be honest, when I first switched from cable to streaming, it was fun – no more cable box or a gazillion channels in languages I don’t speak to weed through! Then it slowly morphed into a pain as everybody and their brother has a streaming service. I found that I was paying a monthly fee for a number of services just to watch one program on each one. I quit them all. I do sign up for Amazon Prime when I start my Christmas shopping and quit when I’m done 😉
On a side note, is this the first non-“1/3 of the backstage” episode we’ve had in a while? I like this better – ironically I stopped watching backstage because of the total redundancy, while I was the biggest pain in your butts about making content public for a while
I’ve been wondering for the last 20 years when Hollywood started churning out the guaranteed to lose money various “America sucks” anti-Iraq war movies – where are the shareholder lawsuits over intentionally producing work that will assure a loss on investment?
Didn’t Stallone file a lawsuit a few years ago trying to get Hollywood to open the books? I’m assuming it went nowhere?
“Eraserhead” – hardest movie to watch.
Yes! Over the years, I have tried to watch Eraserhead multiple times, but I cannot get through it. I start feeling nauseous less than half-way through and by the time I get to about two-thirds way, I can’t continue. I have no idea how it ends because I simply can’t get that far.
Generally, I love David Lynch movies but I can’t watch Eraserhead.
I generally like Lynch too, but I think I made it 5-10 minutes into Eraserhead before I had to concede that I could never consume enough drugs to enjoy it.
Hollywood is falling on a sword for us, don’t ya see? It’s for our own good. We need cartoon girl-on-girl and boy-on-boy love, because … how can we navigate these … feelings we had when we were … five?
