- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies 4 weeks ago:
Eh, I’d argue that the format is somewhat obsolete. When you have to travel to a cinema and pay an entry fee, the content needs to justify that effort
Now that most content is consumed at home, feature films don’t necessarily need to exist as they have. The TV show format has adapted to the British model of a few short seasons, maybe just one.
For certain types of feature film, I’d much rather see a miniseries that allows even more content to get screen time and tells a more developed story (documentaries have moved in this direction).
(Yes there are great feature films still being made and I never said there aren’t… But the vast majority are not worth the time they demand that I give them)

I prefer podcasts over all other media
I also enjoy video games.
I don’t think that feature-length films make sense in this environment. They’re long, formulaic, and somewhat predictable because of that

Yes but it’s Musk doing his tryhard hero act, so maybe they’ll rush it or prioritize something stupid

I keep wondering the same thing
Seems like the president is for sale so plenty of these rich guys will just get in line and pay for what they want

OK and…? So because Amazon bought the franchise I am supposed to care about this dated character from the 60s appearing in New films?

Who’s clamoring for another James Bond movie in 2025? Literally who? What ground is left to cover there?

You may take some solace from the Great Simplification with Nate Hagens

I would suggest you listen to the Nate Hagens Podcast. “What is to be done” is pretty much the topic.

It’s not happening. We fly more planes than ever, and we send more container ships around the world than ever. Besides those, CO2 is just one greenhouse gas. Methane is another major contributor to the greenhouse effect.
Whether we prevent further warming is even kind of a moot point now. We’ve already got a certain
Then there’s loss of ice cover, which creates a feedback loop of further absorption of sunlight (heat).
We’re already living in the world created by climate change, and it’s just getting started. It’s clear that our built environment is not prepared for it at all. Who knew that some of the earliest climate refugees in the US would be homeowners who couldn’t get insurance?
The video above gives false hope. With extreme and increasingly unpredictable weather, it’s only a matter of time until we get a major crop failure. How many of those can the system absorb?
Don’t forget, all the stuff in the video is being implemented basically to prolong the happy motoring lifestyle. That’s awful for the environment even if it’s EVs
