    After the success of the Barbie movie, studios were allegedly scrambling to figure out what other toys they could make a movie about. They just don't get it.

    Mining Reddit for movie ideas... I guess we can all look forward to a high-budget adaptation of Swamps of Dagobah.

    Patrick H Wiilems had an interesting video essay recently about the death of music videos, since there was a major pipeline from being a music video director to being a movie director.

    This may be the first year where Hollywood starts treating YouTube video makers as a substitute pipeline for finding new talent.

    The original Onion story was about the success of American Pie kicking off a wave of copycat pie-fucking grossout comedies from the other studios.

    Threes studios control like 75% of the movies now after the paramount deal closes, sony controls another like 7% or something.

    It's going to get worse not better, and using reddit for ideas is basically using llm's and organized inerests, be they commercial or fascist or what have you, to generate ideas.

    Let's just input it into the AI Slop machine a few times first. Then strip out anything that might hurt us or some share holders reputation or feelings. Shove some ad's and got to go for some good ol patriotism. Don't forget to photoshop the current thing of the month "We" are caring about into it.

    Did they ran out of classic fairy tales to put in modern day American cities?
