A24 4,345 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Countless of people are making youtube videos about how, thanks to Disney, Star Wars is dead. Why would it be different for Indiana Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It generates money, yes, but to more and more fans the universe has lost its special value. They say Disney has betrayed them ... And to think of all the money they spend on the merchandise! Poor fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Star Wars fans who HATES The Last Jedi, and who riled against it, and who want it to be remade are...in essence. ..Trump people. Biggots, conservatives, who want everything to conform to their white, male, heterosexual view of the world. Its interesting you seen to feel for them.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Why is it so difficult for dramas to get theatrical releases these days? I remember only a few years ago in the 90s almost every second movie was some kitchen sink drama or a legal thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The world is changing. Right now, TV is owning drama. And the fans don't mind if 'drama' is offered at home. Also, drama is difficult to sell in China or India, unlike big action movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I've noticed smaller films lately don't even have a major studio logo at the beginning. Instead they have like ten different logos from boutique companies and financiers, and not a familiar one in sight. Sometimes the big studio films will have several Asian looking logos in front too. Star Trek Beyond and Kong Skull Island for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Downscale, shrink the industry, produce and market smaller films to domestic audiences, make $40 million on a $10 million film and multiply that.

I have tinnitus (ringing in the ear) and symptoms that match a condition called hyperacusis, both as a result of the accident I had. Unfortunately the earliest ENT appointment I could get is 25th September. I asked my GP why is it so hard to get an appointment, he told me it's because there simply aren't many of them.
