Apparently, only conservatives watch films in movie theaters and liberals only watch films on streaming while sitting alone and cold in moldy studio apartments with $3000 rent in inner cities
Right now there are somehow three concurrent conservative propaganda films in theaters: "Reagan", the eponymous biopic, "Am I Racist?", Matt Walsh emulating Borat for DEI, and "Vindicating Trump", which somehow is a movie in theaters about an event that happened a few weeks ago which truly mystifies me because even if Grok writes the script, Dinesh D'Souza had to find F list actors and film them. And I'm not even counting the usual crop of Bibleman christian movies that instead of straight-to-dvd are now straight-to-small-town-theaters. These three conservative movies are in major theaters all around the country.

Where are all the liberal movies? Or that is to say, every other Hollywood movie I guess, since any actor would pledge instant allegiance to Zelensky if prompted because the executives like to hang the bodies of the last actors to speak for themselves from meat hooks in the town square as a warning to all, like Gina Carano or James Woods (Rob Schneider mistakes himself as being relevant and funny enough to be on that blacklist)

I can see it already though. A biopic titled "Put me in, coach!", following Tim Walz as he wears an endless series of plaid flannel dad shirts while rescuing kittens from hurricanes while deployed with the guard. The conspicuous inclusion of a scene where Gwen opens a window and speaks about the injustice in the air and the fresh wind of change and restorative justice and how she can smell it, and the scene where Tim and Keith put on masks and ride up on a local bar owner and beat the shit out of him with hockey sticks for breaking lockdown.
I can see it already, "Harris Does San Francisco" about her taking the full force of local politics like a champ
I can see it already, "The Father", a psychological drama film starring Anthony Hopkins as Joe Biden during his twilight days in the white house

anyway how this come to pass, only conservatives get their crap into theaters now. What was the last fully billed liberal one, Don't Look Up? Certainly not "Civil War". I guess there was Shirley but they'd have actually sold more tickets if Lance Reddick put on the wig instead of Regina King, and it had fuck all to do with contemporary politics. Maybe some other indie stuff, but if its not in full theater release and got less box office than the price of a small pontoon I won't count it

Ask yourself why does people get easily divided through means that should be obvious to them?
Why are adults fighting their own kind because of these divisive baits
Why are people ok with working their whole lives for slave salaries only to see their tax $ being spent to host migrants and give them more benefits than they have themselves
Why are adults are OK being told how to live their whole lives instead of actually be FREE
Why are humans spending their whole lives in front of their devices instead of actually living life outside the walls that protect them?
Why are humans so self centered instead of helping out their communities and people who are not as fortunate?
Why are adults believing that politicians will fight for the people and not corporations interest?

I can go on and on like this.

The 90s early 20s was the golden era of movies, back then they could make good thrillers, and have your typical action movies with Arnold or Stallone taking care of the towel heads or the Ruskiis . Idk maybe i just think that because i grew up on those but seriously, the stuff they put out now is so bad. Couple that with streaming eating Hollywood's lunch, the industry is dead. Probably doesn't help that it's filled to the brim with pedos, with everyday another one being ousted.

I don't think it's that conservatives are taking a step up, it's more so the other side is fading hard. Their politics suck, their morals suck and basically molded to the 'current thing'. People are just too into their phones and watching reels, getting insta-dopamine rushes to care to sit through a 15 dollar movie with 20 dollar in snacks.

I been rewatching Walking dead with my wife and i'm surprised they aired Daryl and Merle being actual white supremacist. It wouldn't fly nowadays. They would probably be our current flavor of the day.

Liberal filmmakers have wised to the fact that woke films appeal only to a staggeringly low minority of viewers, and are a guaranteed flop at the box office. Instead, they are now aiming for a neutral political charge if only for pragmatic reasons. Straight to living room media e.g. Netflix & Amazon Prime are also slowly coming to terms with reality as woke offerings have largely been abysmal failures, e.g. the blasphemous monstrosity that is Rings of Power. Prior commitments mean these monstrosities still exist, but will be phasing out in the near future.

Woke people are, generally, shut-ins who live on the internet and who fear the risk of ridicule from going out in public. Regular people (largely conservative) like doing things in person like going to the theatres, if only for the novel experience, like eating in at a Pizza Hut before they shut down.

I was surprised to see that Am I Racist? is actually showing at Cineplex in my town. It looks great but I can't be assed to go to the theatres for it, I'll see it eventually.

Have you seen the amount of people who can't look you straight in the eye and rather look at their feet or their phone? Society went down the drain thanks for enslavement and the internet and the tv.

I see a decent amount of them from my car out crossing the street and whatnot, walking to the bus stop etc., but rarely ever in any establishments. Which validates my assumption, but most still have to go to work or school.

Part of it could also be the insane levels of corruption in Hollywood that pretty much require every film going through standard channels to grease the palm (or polish the knob) of countless middlemen.
How much did it cost Matt Walsh to produce and shoot his not-Borat mockumentary? A budget of $3 million supposedly, which is still pretty substantial for an outsider, but what do you think the Shirley biopic actually cost and grossed?

I mean, major media is in the state where $400 million went into making a hero shooter video game with fat bitches as their unique selling point and flopped with $0 in sales after the refunds. The economics of it can't be sustainable

That's certainly a huge issue, which requires the final product of all that graft to do very well at the box office. Which is still possible - hell, the Wolverine Deadpool movie was mediocre yet that franchise is still just a massive money printer as long as they have popular cast members. Which really isn't sustainable, and there is zero incentive to try something new given the massive input costs (for Hollywood), and even those franchises eventually burn out without innovation.
