Leftists in Hollywood killed the movie star and the movies......by John Nolte...

[2aguy]

This is a good look at what Dennis Prager points out all the time.....everything the left touches, they destroy......and John Nolte takes a look at the "Movie Star," and how leftists in hollywood killed them....

John Nolte dissects the entertainment industry better than just about anyone...except maybe the Critical Drinker....

“The hottest package at this year’s Cannes Film Festival stars a 76-year old action star and is a reboot of a movie that first dazzled moviegoers in 1993.” Variety is talking about Sylvester Stallone and his hit movie Cliffhanger. Yep, Cliffhanger 2 is the biggest deal at a prestigious worldwide film festival: a sequel to a 30-year-old movie starring a guy old enough to be a great-grandfather.

That is absurd. Streaming has only been a serious force for about a decade, and Hollywood has not been minting any new superstars since the 1990s.

The problem is not streaming; the problems are the following…

1. The aging male stars everyone still worships have two things in common: they are cool and masculine—as opposed to Timothée Chalamet.
2. The aging female stars everyone still worships have two things in common: they are feminine, and they are fun, as opposed to uptight and butch.
3. Superstars do not spend all day smugly yelling at people on Twitter.
4. Superstars hide between movies to boost their aura.
5. Superstars star in iconic movies, not disposable and/or self-righteous junk.

The article also blames the 2008 death of the home video market. Of course, the article has that entirely reversed. The collapse of home video sales did not kill the movie star. The collapse of the movie star killed DVD sales.

Here is what happened: the studios believed they could sell movies based on brands and high concepts forever, but now they are all out of brands and high concepts, and there is nothing left to put butts in seats.

I'm not sure I get comparing a Stallone movie with leftism even his newest flicks are usually throw backs to the testosterone fueled shows of the 80's. I do understand he has gotten to old to pull them off, but the loons hate boomers.

Maybe he will be a stay at home grandpa for his transitioning grandchildren, while his newly divorced daughter who recently came out of the closet kicks bad guy ass. That would be a lefty loons porno.

We were recently on a short vacay in Jax Beach, Florida and went to the theater to see John Wick IV - it was great - and that was the first time I'd been inside a theater in about 5 years. No plans to go again any time soon. H-wood well and truly screwed the pooch when people like DeNiro decided he could go all hate, all the time regarding Trump. Dude has gone completely over the edge and is a full blown nutter at this point. I'll never watch even any of his old films again. Not one more penny of mine will he ever get.

The biggest mistake Hollywood made was calling these fools "stars" and then "superstars". They are ordinary people who got a lucky break. They make too much money and flaunt their wealth while they take on liberal causes and hide behind armed security while the rest of us have to deal with it.
