Why? Don’t these execs want to keep their jobs and make money? Or is there another goal? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5743761&forum_id=2#49053675) |

I’d understand if audiences demanded shitlib politics in their entertainment but it seems like no one actually wants this.

Date: June 27th, 2025 12:28 PM Author: odious obsidian party of the first part church Films that aren’t just straight-up streaming slop have extremely overly complicated financing done by High Losers like xoentlaw. So if Warner Bros or Disney are just the “distributor” of a shit Film they may or may not take the financial hit. Rather a bunch of random Losers and rich idiots would.
“Studio execs” aren’t like the alpha Jockgineer CEOs making $280,000,000k. Many are just Losers and Jews who suck at their jobs. Don’t let the word “executive” fool you.
Companies like Warner Bros are just circling the drain basically, probably doomed to be bought by “big tech” at some point. JMO, FWIW. |

Date: June 27th, 2025 12:13 PM Author: Orchid Corner of course, part of it is "they don't know how to do it anymore," but the more important piece is that the "they" changed. in the past the industry was nepotistic, but I'd say starting around 20-25 years ago, hires were either 1) nepotism, or 2) DEI/minority hires, whereas before that it was a mix of nepotism and actual talent.
you see this in writers rooms - 80% of them are made up of obvious DEI hires, and the other 20% is obviously people with connections who may be, but probably aren't due to the rarity of real skill, talented.
I'm most clued into the publishing industry, where a similar thing happened around 25-30 years ago, and now you see what a pipeline issue looks like after it has matured - no ability to sell books outside of political and celebrity memoirs. this has led to a perpetually shrinking workforce, wages that stagnated at mid-2000's level ($45-50k in NYC), and a smaller and smaller number of unit sales and shrinking readership |

Tucker Max was doing it. If not Film then this. If there was at least one guy out there publishing books written by white male Losers, we’d be better off. Alas, he is too Jewish to actually care about anything 😔
At times it seems like the economy has become a paperclip maximizer but for tech startups with extremely shitty uncreative ideas that add no value, boomer stock portfolios, and $75,000k trucks |

Date: June 27th, 2025 12:28 PM Author: histrionic home The difference v publishing is that demand for the activity and the core product (ie long form reading material) collapsed v. the last 15-20 years where the U.S. went from a country that watches 4-5 hours of TV a day to a country that spends 10+ hours using some kind of screen for leisure activity (if not among all viewers at least within the 14-45 year old demo) and these Hollywood boomers couldn’t figure out how to grab a piece of that gold rush.

Date: June 27th, 2025 12:24 PM Author: histrionic home The answer reduces down to just boomers. Entertainment and media more generally was one of the massive successes of boomers mid-careers that made them all wealthy and famous. It’s impossible for that same group of people to accept the fact that all the shit they built ie cable, capeshit, animated movies with celeb voices (other than pre-existing/pre-internet IP), romantic comedies, etc. are all boring as shit to most people and 90+% of viewers under 45. And the would be tech disruptors are not motivated because the juice isn’t worth the squeeze relative to their core businesses, so they’re basically just sitting on these assets and not doing anything to make them better. It’s crazy when you consider that the internet provided this massive stimulus of removing all these middlemen between distribution, broadcast licensing and infrastructure and exhibitors and nonetheless boomers can’t figure out how to take what worked from what they built and map it on to this new model.

it's not the boomers, it's the young people. it's our generation. like the poaster above said, they're all DEI and nepo hires. there's no talent left in hollywood. they're just a bunch of clueless hacks, and that's why the products that they make suck so bad |

Date: June 27th, 2025 12:46 PM Author: odious obsidian party of the first part church Why are people even talking about boomers anymore? The average boomer is like 70 atm. They cause rot and Ruin by their presence but there are sooooo many Gen Xers running shit. There may be a random Sumner Redstone esque boomer pulling the strings but ffs don’t act like they permeate every level of the organization.

Date: June 30th, 2025 7:22 PM Author: histrionic home The DEI and nepo hires are there because boomers forced these practices at all the studios when they were in power. I can agree that the DEI and nepo hires are themselves terrible at their jobs, but this is true in many other industries and doesn’t really explain why the product itself is so terrible, which is largely due to who is plotting the course of the content strategy and giving the green lights. Now check who is running the major studios, see how many of the heads and their main lieutenants are people who “made their bones” in the 90s pre-internet, and then consider again how much blame to put on boomers.
