the dude just is infactuated with producing mediocrity dude ihas been given 200m time and time again to drop some medicore projects let's hope he's facing a cancellation soon.

Na, that's too harsh. Dude seems like a moron but he delivers the movies the studio wants and if those keep making money he will keep gettting work

man needs a time out or something like dude must have spent nearly a billion on blockbusters

At this point, I am hoping for Hollywood to get hit with a bomb

garbage ass industry with its garbage ass producers needs a total reset

Usually not a fan but his script for episode 9 was better than what we got tbh

Alright so here’s a question, based on what you’ve said a lot you hate how Hollywood is now.

So when was it at its best?

if paul w.s. anderson can get 100m tossed his way every couple of years in order to give his eastern european wife work without his career declining then i have a feeling all these other dudes are gonna be alright

Mid to late 2000s is when it peaked imo

That's when social media wasn't as prevalent in our lives yet. "Stars" and Hollywood still had some sort of "allure" to them

Essentially before the MCU became a thing

I think it was at its best in the 70s ofc in terms of the creative peaks

But I would say the 2000s was actually a really underrated time for Hollywood, because while it was obvious to see it was starting to go to s*** right around there, they still had retained a bit of their respect for creatives and people who care about film and would occasionally entrust hundreds of millions to real creatives. Like to see Peter Jackson, someone who only made cheap body horror flicks, get entrusted hundreds of millions to do movies like LOTR and King Kong and completely on his own terms is something you will never see in todays age.

And even in the 00s, Disney used to take risks with Pirates of the Caribbean and they'd entrust it to a creative like Gore Verbinski. There were just a whole bunch of great talented artists like Michael Mann, Verbinski, Jackson, Nolan, Wachowskis, Fincher, Aronofsky, Soderbergh, PTA, Malick, etc. who got entrusted with major studio projects. And nowadays most of these people have either been reduced to making some cheap movie on streaming or are just out of the industry completely in favor of mostly indie darling hacks who will suck their producers d*** and make a movie by committee.

Can’t imagine wishing this on someone for making mid, look away and go outside

70s - 90s Hollywood was a pretty great run.

70s Hollywood was where movies about anything could get made and it could be as messed up as it wanted to be. Godfather, The French Connection, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Clockwork Orange, Last House On the Left etc.

80s Hollywood had the sci-fi and action movie boom, Blade Runner, Robocop, Thief, etc

I feel like 90s Hollywood was the rise of those indie film geek kinda movies tbh? Linklater, Soderbergh, QT all kind of popped up around that time?

2000s was dope but the amount of remakes and trash comedies that came out around that time <<<<

Colin would have made a better Episode 9

Do we hope that he abused someone? Lmao

I think I'd actually take 00s overall because a lot of my favorite movies ever made came out around that time (Lord of the Rings, Pirates, Children of Men, NCFOM, TDK, Zodiac, Wall E, Assassination of Jesse James, The New World, Public Enemies, Watchmen, AI, etc.) but you are right that there was a ton of trash coming out at that time.

Though to your point about things being really messed up in ways of horror, I'd say the 2000s definitely had its fair share of messed up horrors coming out too with House of Wax or the Hills have Eyes reboot, the Saw movies, Slither, 30 Days of Night, Inland Empire, etc.

mid 90s - 2000s is what I would say was the beginning of the end for Hollywood when we started seeing obscenely high budgets being put into movies, but as a result of that, a number of the greatest filmmakers of the past 40 years were able to get their hands on those kinds of budgets and a lot of the best work I think we have ever seen from Hollywood.

2000s also had them remakes that didn’t add much though as well. And the parody movies were getting worse by the minute IMO. Those movies you named were gems that stood the test of time but then you also had s*** like Disaster Movie, She’s The Man, The Scooby Doo live action movies, the Resident Evil and Silent Hill movies, etc.

I don’t think 2000s as a whole were trash but damn did things start to take a turn for the worse
