I think it’s time Modern Entertainment got a cunting.
I’ve seen a lot of properties in film and television that I grew up with vandalised by lunatics through social media and within the industry.
What we see is not just political pandering to a tiny audience of terminally miserable puritans who don’t even watch these programmes, but a general plummeting of quality in the art of film making and screenwriting. Every film is now made without much thought to telling an engaging story and creating memorable characters. The standard seems to follow brainless, crude Michael Bay CGI vapidity, or the emptiness of the ‘Mystery box’ approach of J.J. Abrams and his acolytes such as Damon Lindelof and Alex Kurtzman.
None of these worthless hack cunts can write anything worth a damn, all would benefit from a basic book on screenwriting or story structure and all seem to believe snappy, pop-savvy dialogue is a substitute for character development.
I believe the nadir was reached by the baffling and rushed conclusion to ‘Game of Thrones’, as well the execrable ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, but we can see this general disregard for the material and audiences across the board, with unanimously ‘progressive’ journalists, writers and producers calling the critics of this garbage ‘toxic’ as if the criticism is based on some prejudice towards race or gender. It’s a disgusting ad hominem and straw man which only serves to alienate the audience further and seems to be occurring on all fronts: film, TV, games and the comics industry. To compound the problem, any legitimate criticism results in febrile mob activism through social media, and eventual bans over nothing, with Twitter and Facebook using cowardly and dishonest criteria to stop any opinions the corporate media find ‘problematic’ from gaining wide audiences. It’s easier to simply blanket label any legitimate criticism of poor products as ‘bigotry’ and double down rather than confront the points raised. These pathetic platforms reinforce infantile emotional thinking and narcissistic virtue signalling as the acceptable standard of discussion. They are effectively children’s sites.
Isn’t it strange that what was once derided as fan fiction has now turned into a parallel of the corporate media, producing fan-funded, fan-made films using professional actors, as well as downloadable audio dramas and web comics?
Expect this to continue and accelerate as Hollywood and other outlets of entertainment continue to ignore and demonise their own audiences for daring to criticise their output.
