Maybe we just need to let Hollywood do the AI thing for a while so people can see how creatively bankrupt the execs are.
The problem with that though, lots of studios are already creatively bankrupt and most people don't seem to care. IMO the recent Mario movie could've been a hell of a lot better and instead, it's like a really tasty candy that loses it's flavor fast. 90% of Hollywood's releases today fall under that same category of quality and it's still making studio lots of money.
Obviously I fully support the writer's strike, but I'm afraid it might just mean fuck all in the end because the population just doesn't seem to care about good story structure and character chemistry and such. I realize Mario may just be a kids movie, but so was The Incredibles and that movie had way better story structure.
yes, mario didn't even say "here we go" or "wahoo" or "mama mia".
Sad tired-sounding "let's a-go" intensifies
I don't think this will end like you think it will. Last time we had a writer's strike, we got ~~reality~~ "reality" TV, a cursed genre that continues to grow more popular and more vapid than ever.
Sorry but Mario was awesome. I'm in my 40s.
Otherwise agree on post, just odf example.
