For over a decade, business was booming in Hollywood, with studios battling to catch up to new companies like Netflix and Hulu. But the good times ground to a halt in May 2023, when Hollywood's writers went on strike.

The strikes lasted multiple months and marked the first time since the 1960s that both writers and actors joined forces - effectively shutting down Hollywood production. But rather than roaring back, in the one year since the strikes ended, production has fizzled.

Projects have been cancelled and production was cut across the city as jobs have dried up, with layoffs at many studios - most recently at Paramount. It had a second round of layoffs this week, as the storied movie company moves to cut 15% of its workforce ahead of a merger with the production company Skydance.

In 2011 Jon Favreau advised me to avoid Hollywood because productions were going to decline faster than qualified directors would want to retire. Glad I took his advice.

>I feel like the customer was happier, too. They built libraries that they would rewatch, more movies had a fighting chance through word of mouth and renters, people actually owned the things they loved. The price of convenience was that now, no one owns anything, everything is disposable, just consume, forget, watch the next thing (after these ads). Oh, and lest we forget about algorithmic recommendations that keep audiences in a bubble.

>The consumer is more confused and apathetic than ever with an endless overload of options, all demanding their attention at once; and god forbid they want to watch a classic they love, they have chase it through 5 different streamers if it's streaming at all.

>It's truly a sad state of affairs we have created, and again, it was all the result of convenience. It's such a shame.

That is the crazy part of gayming, tv and moobies. People want to watch and play 24/7. Demand has never been higher.

Yet they cant deliver bare minimum.

Big media studios are now getting beaten up by random people on the internet making memes. The quality is the same, but at least I can browse YouTube shorts without any extra costs while wrapped in three blankets :marseyshrug:

Films will shift into what is popular. No one cares about tent pole productions anymore. You'll start to see more horror, thrillers, capers, and comedies because all of these are cheaper to produce. When they show a major profit, you'll see sequels and big budget tent pole productions once again.

It's a recognizable brand but it's not really capeshit. It was refreshing and studios need to recognize that violent psychopaths want to watch movies that relate to them.
