New from "conservative Christian values" movie makers Angel Studios, a stomach-churningly "cute" version of Animal Farm turned into cringe "equality" slop, starring noted transexxual activist Laverne Cox and far-left Hollywood degenerates like Seth Rogan. But it's the creative here that's the problem. Absolute mess.

God, what’s happening in Hollywood right now is just tragic. So many writers and directors friends are stuck in development hell doing endless rewrites as the tech companies — not studios — continue to turnstile new leadership and brand visions every month, changing up notes on a project according to “user data” and algorithms that can only predict what audiences responded to last year, while taking zero artistic risks as they cover their flanks to shareholders who don’t even watch the shows and films they put out. All this despite clear evidence that the industry is collapsing in on itself as audiences — who are way smarter than most people on this city give them credit for — find other forms of stimulating entertainment in games, short form contents, and YouTube content. It is literally watching the Titanic denying it’s been hit by an iceberg because all their user data makes them think they can magically hack audiences into not thinking a sinking ship is a a amazing cruise because they made sure violinists are still playing (and user data and algorithms classy LOVE string music so we’re good). I am seeing some of the best writers, talent, an amazing studio execs who want to make great shit and trust artists that I’ve worked with just completely leaving the industry because they value their quality of life and artistic integrity more. Then you have the real backbone of this industry — assistants and on-set crew teamsters who make 40-70k a year in LA which is not a livable wage — being treated like shit as studios claim they can’t pay the people busting their asses more while throwing billions around for monopolies. Meanwhile, our industry unions sit there and issue the equivalent of “thoughts and prayers” to its members while doing nothing but kow-tow to the top 1% richest big guns in the industry. You want solidarity? Every major writer and director — from Nolan to Shonda — need to walk on their deals until the industry stops exploiting workers in the name of monopolies.
