Okay, so I've working a lot and haven't been on Pirate Bay for quite some time. Despite being a rich motherfucker subscribed to every service under the sun, I fucking hate commercials - I mean, I hate them with a fiery, white-hot-sun passion - and even though I can stream TV shows I download them via Pirate Bay to make absolutely certain I never see a commercial, ever, even by accident. Pop references to commercials have been completely lost on me since the mid-2000's, and I'd like to keep it that way.
In any event, I went to Pirate Bay tonight to see if they had copies of movies I could stream, but didn't want to brave potential commercials over. And what did I find? If you cut out the superhero bullshit and the typical Hollywood BS, a huge chunk of the movies on the top 100 list are "ethnic family braves racism". I kid you the fuck not, go to Pirate Bay and check this shit out. I don't know what the fuck Hollywood is thinking - it's been proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, from the '70's up the present day, that people respond most positively to stories and ads which feature people of their own ethnicity, telling stories they can relate to (apart from the superhero drek, which is mostly neckbeard child-rapist bullshit). Given that whites spend more than 90% of the money in this country, it's no wonder these movies went straight to DVD - and from there to Pirate Bay.
I have to wonder, in light of how fervent the left seems to be in destroying themselves: is Hollywood doing the same? I mean, fuck profits, push narrative X, we'll convert everyone to our way of thinking if we only try hard enough? Can't these corporations be sued by their shareholders for deliberately endangering their profit-making status, or do they simply not care, so intent they are on pushing a specific narrative?
It seems to me that Hollywood is self-destructing in the same way that liberals everywhere else in the country are. They're so fucking desperate to push their singular view, especially in light of the Trump back-lash against their liberal bullshit, that they no longer care about money. How desperate does Hollywood have to be to not care about money? And what the fuck are they trying so hard to cover up that money is no longer an issue?
Love to hear your thoughts on this. Well, except for the redditor shills, who I hope get their dicks cut off before they're gutted like fish and left to die in the sun. But as for you Voaters, what do you think?

I watch old movies. There's been nothing worth buying an admission ticket in years.

Mad max: fury road was the last movie I saw in theatres. Have to say it was well worth it

I saw Chocolate when it came out. That as about it for me.

Trainspotting 2, was the last one I've seen.

I saw Chocolate. I'm a sucker for a decent movie and especially a romance with a happy ending.

I watched to Catch a Thief the other night. Cary Grant, Princess Grace Kelly. Great watch. Today I have The Great Escape and Bullitt to watch. And if there is STILL football shit on, Le Mans. Steve McQueen Sunday.

That's why I love Alamo Drafthouse. Saw Bullitt on 35mm a couple of years ago, while drinking Bullit Rye, and only paid $6 for the ticket, IIRC.

Isn't that such a great movie? I had such a crush on Grace Kelly after the first time I watched it. I've watched the Great Escape with my grandfathers, too. It was awfully long, and maybe a little formulaic, but still a good watch.

That is a good thing. Let Hollywood die and a superior movie industry rise from the ashes.

You talk like Hollywood, left and liberals are different things. They are one and the same.

Also, 'hollywood,' isn't just some big company that publicly trades shares of stock.

I share your hated for commercials. I personally don't really watch anything new. I have an awesome vhs, DVD, and blu Ray collection of mostly old movies (40s to 90s).

I usually watch foreign films. I like watching South Korean films and some old Hong Kong films. Even Hollywood remakes film from overseas. The Departed was a remake of a Hong Kong Film called Infernal Affairs. Crap Hollywood is doing another remake of the Ring called Rings. Hollywood doesn't care about good movies because creative accounting makes sure they never really lose money.

Not to long ago, you could laugh at SJW's openly. Their ideas couldn't survive in an open marketplace. So they changed tactics - if you can't join 'em, beat 'em - and they started a campaign of high level infiltration in order to impose their narrative, censorship, and to change the accepted definitions of their pet terms. Their end game is to control the laws and forcibly change the culture in a sweeping Marxist Revolution.
They have been successful infiltrating European and Canadian governments - and just about got the US government in November.
They've been very successful in infiltrating universities, and have used them as their primary forward bases into society.
They have also shockingly been able to pass laws to change definitions - rape, for instance, includes "morning regret" in universities, and they seek to change that on the legal system as well. In Canada, they are changing the hate speech laws to force citizens to use certain words demanded by the trans community.
And they have been using the entertainment industry as their main propaganda machine until today's children are grown and manifest the promise of the indoctrination program that is public education.
We need to fight loudly and push back against their deconstruction of free thought and free speech. That is their ultimate goal - the end of free thought and speech in the Western world, and jail for dissenters.
On a happier note, Bittorrent is the new Library of Alexandria... It is the entertainment vault of the gods. It could be the ultimate library of human knowledge and art, but corporate interests seek to destroy it. It is as if Gutenberg was arrested and his printing presses burned. Fuck Hollywood - for all their moaning about piracy, they continue to make record profits. But they're so greedy that they can't then just put it all in the library. Fuck it, I just download everything.

Sop stories are cheap and have a reliable audience. Given that Hollywood refuses to give a decent budget to anything that isn't a remake, sequel or superhero movie, that they're following a predictable template with the minor things isn't surprising.

I've noticed a lot more blacks in tv. But, that may be because white people are cutting the cord and going to netflix/torrents/etc. The movie thing is strange, though, since movies do badly internationally if they have too many blacks.

Even Netflix is starting to suck.
