Bounding into Comics: Barry Diller, the current Chairman of IAC and Expedia and the former CEO of Paramount Pictures as well as 20th Century Fox, warned that if the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes continue to Christmas it will spell doom for Hollywood.
Diller appeared on CBS’ Face the Nation where he was asked, “What do you think the impact will be and how long will these strikes last?” MORE
Hollywood movie industry destroyed. What a great Christmas present. 😉
The producers are between a rock and a hard place, which often happens when selling your soul to the devil. While they agree with the leftist attitudes of the strikers, they also realize that they can’t go on much longer making movies that hardly anyone sees. Hollywood bookkeeping can only go so far.
Is there a Go Fund Me supporting this strike?
I’d like to be part of making the world a better place and can think of no better way than to see “Hollywood” take its rightful place on the ash heap of history.
Hollywood is doomed!
Good riddance to bad trash.
Oh … now I’m sad …
haven’t been to a movie theater since my elder son went into the Navy in 89 or 90 – and haven’t missed it!
Fuck those miscreant assholes – ALL of em!
I hope Hollyweird becomes a free-fire zone.
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
Hollywood: People hate our movies, ergo they are nothing but bigoted rubes.
Me: Enjoy your Bud Light moment. Last one to leave, please turn out the lights.
tell someone who gives a shit
I went to see “Sound of Freedom” last Sunday. First time I’ve been in a movie theater in over 5 years.
Fantastic movie. Powerful, yet the evil is only referenced, not seen.
God bless Angel studio for releasing the movie, God bless Tim Ballard, and God bless Jim Caviezel.
I used to recall the last movie theatre movie I ever saw but I can’t remember it now. Think it was early 2000’s but may have been in the 90s
there will probably be a government funded bailout proposed
betcha
I hope the strike lasts forever. I hope Hollywood dies.
We’ll see who bends the knee first. Their demands are unrealistic. Being ya’ll are experts in the rinse & repeat factor,looks like peeps looking for entertainment will have to take a page out of your playbook.
Then of course when you get old one always has their rocking chair, feeding squirrels (look there’s a squirrel) & doing their best at being grumpy.
^^^ that was me
for some reason, for me, this site is often unresponsive to entered typing, and also page re-freshing.
hollyweird, keep negro/trans-it
^^^ I wrote about a bailout, not squirrels
screw hollywood.
read a book
Hollywood lost me over 30 years ago.
Hollyweird = Jim Caviezel definitely not playing with a full deck of cards.
anon 1228, keep obama/biden
I’m praying that the strike continues well into January 2024. They’re doing it to themselves, they will blame us, good, I will double down. Really how much more can I turn my back on Gollywood? No TV, don’t go to the movies, I have no idea whose famous and who isn’t. I see many names I don’t know and don’t care to know. Never belonged to Netflix, don’t watch tik-tok, don’t purchase music. I’m good.
Looked it up. Twenty seven years since I was dragged into a movie theater.
Everything I need to watch is out my back door in a little bay on a river.
Need to send in BLM to support the strikers
Will be a mostly peaceful protest
Hey m. fuah – you used to sign your posts here, and besides you’re recognizable from CPF. Why hide behind the anonymous tag?
The last movie I paid to see was Testament. That was also the last time I entered a theater. If hollywood vanished I wouldn’t notice or care.
Obviously, you’ve mistaken me for someone who gives a shit!
The best thing that can happen to America and every democracy in the world is the doom of the pedophile/rapo/leftist hellhole factory called “Hollywood”. Yeah, it was once an asset to our culture and our freedom, but now it’s a DIRECT THREAT.
Hey, I was already in support of nothing coming out of Hollywood for a while…you don’t need to sell me any more on it.
The best thing that could happen to America right here right now is, “Here comes the big one Lizabeth” & Donny drops dead.
As much as I’d love to see the death of Hollywood, you know damn well at the very last minute a deal will be reached.

The film industry has been the purveyor of extreme violence and mental sickness since its earliest days.
It has warped the minds of almost everybody. It has to go. Not by force but by people who no longer are interested in paying to see its disturbed offerings.
When one sells shit, one must be careful not to become what one sells.
Ooops!
Film, now really digital visual media, is not yet an art form. It is too new, has no significant history and is suffering the accountant’s curse.
Everything big money takes over is destroyed in creative essence while being glorified in material manifestation.
Remember stock car racing? Motocross? Boat racing? Sprint cars? Football? Baseball? Hell, lawnmower racing has money in it now. Listen to pop music and ask yourself, has big money improved the product? Country music is in a big schizoid break right about now because of the money and ideological incompatibility.
To quote a lyric from long ago ‘they paved paradise and put up a parking lot’.
