Without the protections that intellectual property provides, how will innovators ever create new ideas?
Hollywood ran out of new ideas a long time ago. It's been nothing but endless cape shit and prequels/sequels to established properties for quite some time now.
The real creators are moving to Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO. I recently started watching Narcos and was so impressed. That's the kind of organized crime/gangster movie I had been wanting for a long time. Hollywood wasn't interested in something like that. Martin Scorsese had to go to Netflix to get the Irishman put out while Hollywood shoves more Marvel shit down our throats. But watching Narcos, it suddenly dawned on me, that no one in Hollywood is going to make a movie like that show. Instead, they rather remake Scarface again and tell the same goddamn story over in a different era.
Even as somebody who loved Star Wars, I'm pretty sure we reached peak Star Wars, like 5 Star Wars ago
Nah, peak Star Wars was during the anticipation for Phantom Menace. For at least a year, you could not escape seeing Star Wars literally everywhere. I remember being a kid and going through all of that. Star Wars toys, Pepsi cans, Pizza Hut toys, etc etc. It was everywhere.
The 2015 events were big but nothing will ever come close to what it was in 1999. I seriously think Lucas only made that awful movie to sell toys and products, cause they went above and beyond with Phantom Menace stuff. I was just talking about this with a friend a few days ago, who was working at Pizza Hut at the time and brought up the toys, and how people went nuts trying to collect them all.
I would watch that Noah Hawley Alien series. I haven't seen Fargo but I really enjoyed Legion.
Don’t spoil the ending to that product! I haven’t consumed it yet! :matt:
