 Did they straight up stop making good movies? 
 mostly 
 Pretty much 
 At Dune Part 2, every single preview was a remake of a previous movie/sequel. 

Not a single original script. 
 Hollywood got caught doing nasty things. Thats the whole epstien thing. Thats why no more good movies  
 MORE LIKE THEY'RE ALL GOOD ON THEIR BRAINWASHING MATERIAL. NOW JUST RECYCLE THE TRASH TO THE MORONS. NO NEW IDEAS NEEDED 
 😭 
 Identity politics post 2008 financial collapse killed it 
 YES

 It sure seems that way.😐 
 Yes and depending on your age, a good movie may not have been made in your lifetime. 
 Ya 
 Plenty of great old movies to watch  
 Its all a marketing scheme to cell dvds and bluray rereleases 
 Torrents  
 The new ones pretty much suck.
Feel free to watch WeCrashed. It's about the CEO of WeWork that has gone bankrupt some time ago. It was great, I remember before 2020 reading about the company and stuff. Also, it's an 8 episode series so not a movie 
 between the woke BS and the Chinese buying up everything and influencing creativity yes they now all suck 
 Yes and what the fuck? 
 Hollywood did, yes. The Boy and the Heron is the only good new movie I’ve seen in… years, maybe. 
 they sure did lol 
 There's a few good ones here and there, they just also make a lot of garbage. Frankly, the same as it ever was. For every classic from decades ago, one could rattle off a dozen TV-only or straight-to-DVD duds  
 They did. Gotta go circa 1995 for a guaranteed success; some gems past that but odds increasingly stack against you... 
 Yes, they all serve the state now. Kinda like movies from Communist China or Soviet Russia. 
 Series have gotten so much better though. It seems a shame to cram an interesting premise into 90 minutes. All of the best projects these days are multi episode series. I’m OK with that. 
 there are some decent series - it’s true.
