>>524357561GOOD
>>524357561You know what they told auto workers when robots took their jobs? Adapt. You're seeking sympathy for a group of people comprised of 95% jews. Get fucked. Let them starve to fucking death like I would.
>>524357561good i hope their entire degenerate city gets eaten by the pacific
>>524357561>Demand a buttload of DEI hires in the writing and design room, academy awards mandate particular numbers of deis to qualify for an academy award>Movies go to shit>Koreans and other racist countries put out some relative bangers now that the typical funny old Jewish guys have been displaced by some whiny sjws.
>>524357561>support wokeshit that makes no money and funded just to put out propaganda.>Thinks the system will keep funding it at high levels after they ruin the genre.>Shocked Pikachu face when they reduce the spend to minimum levels and move onto the next step which is to make criminal laws like the UK has.Don't feel bad at for simplords.
>>524357675Nah, it's 95% goyim slaves, 5% Jews. The jews are on the top with all the money and power, the goyim slaves do all the production work. Most of em are woke faggots, so they deserve what was coming. They ALL participated in the woke bullshit push, so if you make shit, don't expect AI to not replace you.
Time to learn a trade
>>524357561>The only work he’s found is teaching an animation class at a Cal State campus three hours awayI hope he opens his classes with:>I am more experienced than you.>I am more skilled than you.>I am more well connected to the industry than you.Despite this I have no other options but to teach this class. What hope do you have of getting a job when you graduate?
They can go pick fruit.
>>524357789>funny old Jewish guysOld Hollywood was really a collab between Jewish owners and producers and white men. White men made it all happen, Jews were at the helm for money things and producer roles, sometimes directing/writing. Now it's just Jews and woke fucks, and the woke fucks all live in a hyper-reality made by Jews that no one cares for. So now every movie is a DEI checklist combined with propaganda that has gotten VERY stale at this point, which sits on the woke writer's personal mental illnesses and mary sue fanfiction.
>>524357675>You know what they told auto workers when robots took their jobs? Adapt.Who said that? Which ones? Could you be more specific?
>>524357983B-B-B-B-B-B-B-BASED
>>524357561Not my problem.
>>524357845>I don't know what a jew looks like and if you don't tell me that it's a jew I would never knowI hear you. It takes practice.
>>524357561Its true Hollywood is just woke tv shows funded by Netflix and prime now, la isn't a movie town Its like how college is now like high-school level busy work and the like, all shifted in the hierarchy
>>524358041>specificEasy lad
>>524358041Holy reddit
>indistrygee I wonder why the work is disappearing when they can't even spell
You expect me to subscribe to your Jew York newspaper?
Don't care about Hollywood but I'm happy Kojima and Neil is getting btfo big time after putting all their chips on Hollywood
>>524358841Heres the CHATGPT crunched down version FAGGOTHollywood’s "Silent Depression"Brian Mainolfi, a veteran animator with credits on Mulan and American Dad, hasn't worked on a production since 2024. Currently teaching for just $350 a week, he represents the collapse of Los Angeles’ creative middle class.The Collapse by the NumbersThe industry is spiraling. L.A. County motion picture employment dropped from 142,000 in 2022 to 100,000 in 2024. Production on projects with budgets over $40 million fell nearly 30% in the U.S. following the 2023 strikes.Key Causes * Streaming Strategy: Investors now demand profitability over growth, causing studios to slash budgets. * Outsourcing: To cut costs, productions are moving to the UK, Eastern Europe, and Canada for better incentives. * Post-Strike Contraction: Spending evaporated after the dual actor/writer strikes ended.The Economic FalloutThe downturn is destroying lives and local businesses. Courtney Cowan’s "Milk Jar Cookies," heavily reliant on studio catering, went bankrupt. Susan Hellman, a veteran assistant director, sold her L.A. home to survive retirement in Florida.Future OutlookCalifornia recently doubled its film tax credit to $750 million, and federal incentives are being discussed. However, with the rise of generative AI and audience shifts to social media, many fear the jobs are gone forever. Rachel Long, an animator who retrained as a phlebotomist, admits she has to face the fact that a recovery "might not happen."
>>524359098The root cause of this is the excessive strength of the USD. Virtually everywhere else is more cost effective on the planet to produce entertainment right now other than the US.You can finance the same production in Australia for 65% of what it costs to finance in the US right now, owing to exchange rates.
I hope everyone on the west coast gets burned alive by niggers
>>524359098Here's an idea: make good content
>Brian MainolfiSearched for him. Apparently his latest work is Paradise PD, which is a dogshit "adult cartoon show".So no wonder he has no job. Retards that can't make good products shouldn't have a job in the industry. It only took Hollywood billions of dollars to come to that conclusion lel
>>524357675Cartoonists said that?
>>524360278Obviously the reason his latest work is so crappy is there are no decent jobs available. Did you even read the article, you absolute fuckwit?
Pack. Move to Oklahoma. If you're that talented why are you working salary. You should have capitalized on it way long ago. I have eggs. They go in one basket. I will keep my basket in an impossibly expensive place.
>>524357561most of it is due to all of the retarded regulations that make filming insanely expensive, biggest one is portable gas generators are banned for commercial use. ton of zoning regulations too, its cheaper and easier to film anywhere else except california.
>>524358041>Who said that? Which ones? Could you be more specific?"Learn to code" you fucking faggot
>>524357561I don't think Zoomies watch movies; they're more interested in TikTok videos, YouTube celebrities, and Twitch personalities. Whenever I see someone suggest a movie to watch, they immediately take out Wikipedia or, in today's age, ask AI to give them a synopsis. This goes for books, too. Movies are going to go the way of irrelevancy like TV.Get fucked. Time to appease us chud millennials.
>>524360315Bro no animator that actually respects themselves would add something like Paradise PD to their portfolio lmaoHe's the industry's version of a prostitute. There's nothing he can provide that Korean cheap animators can't.
>>524360310Some did yes. Many of them gleefully gloated saying learn2code. You new here, boy?
>>524359098>Susan Hellman, a veteran assistant director, sold her L.A. home to survive retirement in Florida.oh no that poor thing having to do that, how tragic
>>524357561He has no morals wasting kids time and stringing them along into an industry he knows they'll never get opportunities in
>>524359098Glad to see a decade of awful shit is finally having consequences for these people. Hope it all burns to the ground. Fuck Hollywood
>USAID runs out>it's "nothing">but suddenly shit goes tits up with the resistance, BBC is out of money, NPR and PBS are trying to have country stars on a tiny desk concert for the first time in sixty five years, movie studios are canceling everything, disney closes the star wars heckin' theme park, video game studios going bust...Literally all of leftie-liberal globohomo culture was entirely fake to the tune of like one hundred eighty billion dollars a year. A YEAR.
I used to occasionally work in the entertainment industry as a professional consultant in a couple of different fields.
>>524360660BBC budget issues are due to people refusing to pay the licensing fee and inflation reducing the real value of the license fee, not USAID you mouthbreathing retard
>>524360660It is really suspicious timing. This shit has been bleeding money for a long time but it's only now causing massive, cascading failures?
>>524358041Smug white collar workers in general
>>524360709A likely story.
>>524360310"Learn to code" was a phrase being paraded around memerona because tons of blue collar workers were losing their jobs.Smug leftards and liberals, who enjoyed cosy white collar jobs and working from home started using that phrase to mock the blue collar workers. This is because liberals know that working men tend to be right wingers or conservatives, so their demise filled these retards with glee. And it didn't matter for them because they believed that illegals, AI and automation would take care of them.Fastforward a few years and it turns out that it's much harder to automate white collar jobs while creatives and coders are not exactly competent nor necessary enough to not have their shit replaced by AI.
>>524360725They burned through their reserves and now we're all realizing how fake and gay the left really was all along. It's glorious.
>>524360514Glad I clicked the replies, I was about to clip exactly that as well. The audacity of these people to even print that. I'm supposed to feel the least bit sorry, why? You worked a cushy job and were overpaid, welcome to the real world cunts
>>524360779>This is because liberals know that working men tend to be right wingers or conservatives, so their demise filled these retards with glee.Now when we gloat about this happening to the left they act as if we're the first ones doing it when we're enjoying the misfortunes of people who wished misfortune on others over political opinions.
>>524357561https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kbkysPTnHcSocial media has primed an environment where this type of degeneracy is not only accepted, it thrives. Social media desensitizes and radicalizes even moderates into believing heinous and abhorrent behavior is acceptable under the correct context. Spend just 5 minutes on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, you will find hordes of these deranged people. They exist among us. The FBI knows about them but never acts until it is far too late. Western society is on a one-way fast track to collapse as long as social media continues to destroy minds and decay the culture.
>>524360703Consulting on what ? Don't be a faggot with your meme flag and vague posts
>>524360709>refusing to pay because they don't even have a TV>this is illegal
>>524360966The people refusing to pay have a TV, they just claim to use streaming services only, whether or not they actually do watch the BBC. A sane government would just fund them directly out of the federal budget as a line item instead of doing this stupid license fee shit, as Australia does
>>524358041The Disney cartoonists who lived in the dwarf apartments
>>524360436>movies will become irrelevant (said retardedly)False. They will become a refuge from AI shit, especially the movies made before 2000 when it cell phones really started showing up as commonplace. People are going to crave movies that were done by humans from start to finish. Watch a movie like Felini's Casanova starring Donald Sutherland and you'll understand.
>>524360819Eh I don't give a fuck about saying "you did it first!" because it's petty and it doesn't address the real issue.None of these white collar faggots were needed and they weren't talented enough to justify their salaries in the first place. They were actually actively ruining something that for decades was culturally relevant for the West and it helped define society.Until very recently, tv and movies were the main mediums to how humans absorbed media and by extension, culture. Love or hate this fact, it just was the truth.These untalented retards not only destroyed this medium, they were only able to exist in such medium because they were propagandists. Kikes didn't care if they had to burn billions of dollars so these idiots could keep pushing demoralizing anti-West propaganda. They thought that the West would eventually cave in to the humilliation ritual and accept media that actively berated them and treated them like shit, but worst of all, it wasn't even good.But the West didn't, so now the musical chairs stopped and these smug leftards can't justify their position, because they aren't actually talented enough to be working there in the first place. It's one of the reasons why they are so butthurt about AI.Compare all that shit to blue collar workers. They just complained that during corona, the government wouldn't let them work. The "learn to code" wasn't even about illegals taking their jobs, liberals have been mocking blue collar workers for that for ages.It was literally because they just wanted to work.Personally, I would say that AI is to white collar to what illegals are for blue collars, except AI actually has higher IQ than the white collar workers.
>>524357561They should remake Rocky or Superman.
>>524360640These faggots honestly didn't understand the money funneling and propaganda aspects of the shit they've made for the last decade>niggers, niggers, everywhere!Every fucking nigger in Hollywood thinks they're great and that they got their job by being great, and everyone who matters thinks they're great.>womenThink they earned everything they have>trannies and faggotsThe world is just progressing, and Chuds need to accept itEvery fucking group believed the bullshit and bought the hype. They really are caught off guard that their jobs are going away>"I thought it was just the racist incels who were against us"
Thousands?That's awful.Let's make it millions.
>>524361026>the government should fund itFuck off, Nigel. At least private enterprise has to pretend to give a shit about what people want or it eventually goes bankrupt. A national bankroll just guarantees garbage which is what the BBC has been for 30 years
>>524360436>we want more retarded 30 second dopamine fix clickbait to make us even more stunted and mentally illkek, enjoy it you absolute fucking NPC retard
i make AI mini movies of 3 minutes or less, NEVER occured to me to make them into a TikTok movie for a big screen THANKS 4 CHAN
>>524358041Well for one thing, Joe Biden said that about coal miners.
>>524357946Underrated post
>>524360310>Coal is not doing well anymore. 40% of coal miners have lost their jobs since 2008, mostly from Appalachia.>2016, a coal mine shuts down, and workers were out of a job.>Smug leftrooners at the time gleefully tell coal miners maybe they should #Learn2Code from woke >Fast forward today>Most of the mediums that leftrooners gravitate to is seeing the very same layoff and adjustment change. Silicon Valley went bankrupt, journalism and its woke sansationalism is dying as Vice, Polygon, and Jezebel die, artists are being replaced, and entry-level programming jobs are all but extinct. >By AI no less. Learn2Code has gotten us here, Learn2Code gave us AI, and now leftrooners are seething.
>>524362800from woke *areas in online spaces like Reddit and Resetera, Journalists, Breadtubers, and then Twitter.
>>524360133What's that?
>>524357561rise up blender godsstrike down the west coast faggots who did nothing but shovel furry trans racemixing slop for 20 years straight
>>524362800A lot of those miners have since moved into the prison industry you see....
