Date: December 6th, 2023 6:59 PM Author: slate temple gay wizard It's essential to GC business model that nothing truly inspiring or innovative ever happens. The main reason for this is that they need life to be a joyless slog for working white collar adults. It's kind of like being in coach on an airplane. No one really thinks first class is that great, it's just great because coach sucks. They need life to be miserable so you believe that consooming holds all the answers.
The other reason is that they need to forcememe tech and finance as the only growth sectors of the economy. To elites, the only thing that matters is tech companies innovating, and the financial instruments that derive from the disruption. The truth is that tech has not fundamentally benefitted anyone in any way except for the shareholders of tech companies. As much of a "genius" as Elon is, his most profitable venture is just cars. Like, we already had cars. Social media did not reinvent socialization. In fact, in all instances it made life worse for everyone.
The reason this pertains to great art dying is that great art is inherently transcendent and uplifting. If you had too many experiences that made you feel alive you would immediately quit your GC hellscape job and demand a low cost way of life that did not solely exist to grow wealth for a small group of investors and tech entrepreneurs at the top while everyone else suffered in misery. They cannot let that happen.
Also they figured out how to make record profits off of music and movies that suck completely by making it impossible to consume anything substantive. By offering no Choice, the consumer has been conditioned to expect nothing great. Also the West is all third world mud people who have no affinity for the Anglo American cultural tradition of making mind blowing music and movies. Imagine showing The Godfather to a Mexican they wouldn't get it. These people think the Disney versions of Star Wars are better because they have better special effects. You can't teach the western canon of storytelling to these people the same way the Conquistadors couldn't explain the Bible to the Indians. It's over. |

Date: December 6th, 2023 7:07 PM Author: Primrose razzle-dazzle nibblets lay There was an huge amount of good TV made in the last ten years, and streaming also prompted literally hundreds of awesome documentaries to be made. Fewer features but definitely some solid ones. But eg a show like Mindhunter was 1) fantastic, and 2) sucking up all the time and energy of one of the five greatest living directors, so movies naturally took a hit. There were other cool things, though, like Ryan Murphy doing all of his American Crime Story shows. But in general, v TV series, making movies and music that succeeded in the new winner take all hyper distributed market for larger audiences became harder and harder, especially when so many of the best release dates on the calendar were filled up with new iterations of big tent pole IP like Star Wars, Marvel, DC etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5456372&forum_id=2Firm#47141625) |

For the rest of you I’ll throw out another example of a show that’s awesome and wildly underrated: The Americans.
Anyway you guys are being huge faggots about this and talking past the more basic point I made that probably 40% of the 50 best TV shows ever came out in the last 10 years during the peak of streaming content budgets.

Date: December 7th, 2023 1:17 PM Author: Primrose razzle-dazzle nibblets lay This entire Z plot line took maybe five minutes of screen time? Definitely less than 10. Consider whether there’s some other reason that you specifically get so triggered by a show adding a bit of characterization that includes the fact that the character is a gay person. In the late 70s that made for an interesting set of incentives at work (which is where the show actually takes place). Perhaps there’s some reason specific to you that this makes you so upset.

Date: December 7th, 2023 1:14 PM Author: Primrose razzle-dazzle nibblets lay Did you just watch the pilot and stop after that? Or are you yourself gay (genuinely asking as I imagine that would make it harder to watch)?
The whole point of the show is them interviewing serial killers and solving crimes. The romance was understood by any viewer who possesses a triple digit IQ to be a bit of character development to let you know that this dude lives for the job. There’s a plausible reading of his romance plot that you’re supposed to suspect that he’s actually gay and just so far in the closet that he can’t even admit it to himself, and his cope is instead that he lives for his work. Wouldn’t be the first show/movie with that kind of a character. |

Date: December 6th, 2023 8:15 PM Author: learning disabled place of business Part of it is definitely Hollywood going even more woke.
But I think the business model of Hollywood has to be to blame at this point.
Studios are investing only in expensive movies, which means only less risky movies are made (sequels and comic books and reboots).
The streaming platforms seem like you had have some great TV shows - but the quality is a noticeable drop off from the 2000s era. I'm not sure why - too many shows, assuming everyone will watch every episode in order, shows becoming more niche -- but the results are in, and streaming shows suck compared to 2000 era HBO, Showtime, AMC shows - and probably even compared to network dramas at the time. |
