You know what - things are changing fast and I think that's one of the things that are going to change: movie addiction. Along with a stupid belief in reality as depicted by Hollywood.
I used to watch movies all the time. Then I moved to watching series all the time. Did, for instance, the scandinavian noir scene for a couple of years or more.
But now? I watch nothing that isn't real. Youtube vids on science, maths, astronomy, chemistry, physics, workshop vids on woodwork, metalwork, electronics, vids on work: tree felling, earth moving.. and on and on....
And then I watch vids on current affairs: politics, economics, medicine....
Far, far, far more entertaining than my dumb movie and series watching days, far more satisfying and totally legal all the time.
And 'future proof' if you see what i mean. Perhaps in future there'll be no financing for multi million dollar childish fantasy movies unless they can squeeze money out of people for every copy that exists.. so to be in the movie scene in the future will be problematic..
But this reality I'm into now? Let the whole internet be brought down and guys will put up their own peer to peer connections, rebuild our own ad hoc internet and they'll still be making these same youtube vids even without youtube.
that's my guess for the future and I'm all for it.
It's m y guess that will happen even if the existing thing survives - they'll run in parallel.
All the movie piracy was about, ironicaly, was the world that couldn't afford it expressing a love and desire to consume their product.
If they'd let the world in they'd have made billions upon billions more than they already make.
But the greedy methods and attitudes they've manifest have shot their own foot, turned people against them and made them look elsewhere and the fact is: elsewhere is good for them/us/me and better And free.
People everywhere already increasingly hostile to 'capitalism' beyond anything reasonable. I mean it's being demonised. By the same dumb meatheads that go around killing and looting and destroying in the name of BLM where clearly at bottom to them No Lives Matter. Dumb peope. Sway our world so very much. Well those same dumb people are hating everything under this blanket word 'capitalism' without ever having any real academic knowledge of what capitalism is or even caring. And those people will - could - very quickly turn on the Hollywood and recording media companies with all their animal wrath.
Because with these kinds of actions they bring that kind of attention down n themselves.
Yep. I think it's a done deal. They are, it is, a thing of the past. Roll on the future. Forget all that crap. It was nice while it lasted but now it is time to grow up and look at real stuff.
Because of them and their dumb nasty ways and because of those others I mentioned - the dumb destroyers - and because of the dumb 'managers' our political 'leaders' who're busy destroying everything.
Three good reasons to turn away from all that crap. It's for children.
