Comment on Beijing and Hollywood are decoupling as Chinese audiences favor domestic productions
Chuymatt@beehaw.org 3 months agoNot sad, honestly, especially with movies. Maybe the drive for the Chinese market will calm and better films will come out of it. But, that’ll require the bubble to bust.

Oh yea, I wasn’t trying to present it in a negative light at all. The only possible negative is that parts of mainstream western culture could be both unaware and uncomfortable with the development. For people seriously into the “art” and happy to go “crate digging” etc, it should really open up new things, and as others have said, allow Hollywood to re-calibrate.
Just the other day a friend asked me if I’d like to see RRR (indian/bollywood film) with them … though it’s fairly popular and broke into the west, I don’t think that would have happened to me 5-10 years ago (where neither of us Bollywood fans or anything).
