The creatives either have contempt for the audience or have massive egos and think theses movies are their own personal art house films.

This has been going on for way, way, way too long. Why haven't financial considerations ultimately won out? Why haven't the people with billions of dollars on the line stepped in and demanded creatives that arent actively sabotaging the financial success of the project?


Hollywood has always hated America, watch High Noon

It's just gotten to the point where all they have left is contempt for us. And so they just make movies about that.

Let's assume this thread was started today because people are big mad about Joker, a movie that you guys are saying refuses to give the audience what they want, and actively hates you.

What is the social programming in Joker 2? How did Todd Philips create it to be the gayest thing ever?


Let's pretend that one movie that may or may not be social programming, I haven't seen so I don't know, refutes the entire theory that hollywood is more interested in telling you what to think rather than telling a good story?

No, it's pretty clear that's what they want, Joker 2 or not. One movie doesn't change the landscape.

Look at TV particularly,since we are talking about Hollywood.

On social media, everyone screams "we want original films", but then they don't show up to watch original films.


They do when the original films are actually good. Just look at "Everything Everywhere All At Once".
