What the fuck was going on in Hollywood during the 70s?
Dick move if Coppola is saying the truth of george Lucas but friendships can get stale and he might have a jerk.
>>221136314that was the decade in which the boomer generation reached adulthood and took over the workforce. that's why it was so degenerate.
Dennis hopper is really crazy if he thinks he popularized cocaine in easy tier, acid and wed maybe. Even drinking. Cocaine? Dont even remember them doing cocaine.
>>221136314New Hollywood after the collapse of the studio system. Baby boomers also took the reins.
>Don Simpson on Robert Altman>Robert Altman on Don SimpsonIs this a fucking joke?
>>221136314What's wrong with Robert altman?
>Friedkin bitching about Star Wars and then making The Exorcist, Sorcerer and The French ConnectionNone of those films are particularly deep. I just watched French Connection recently too.>abrasive irish cop man say n-word and catch french bad guys
>>221136685>>221136314Don Simpson the comic guy?
>>221136915>Reductive faggot needs to let us know his thirdie opinion.
>>221136915>abrasive irish cop man say n-wordI literally just watched it yesterday on Amazon and he never says niggerHe does say spic though
studios implodedthey saturated theaters with the same tired crap and all the creatives went independent to escape it, caused a massive shift toward smaller budget, more experimental films for a whilewe are actually steering toward a similar shift, or were, but I think things have derailed into being a recreation of the original studio era, where the studios owned everything, including the theater chains. Streaming platforms are vertically integrated content farms just like old hollywooduntil there's anti-trust against them (probably never, the way our justice system works) they will continue to strangle film and TV until nothing is left
>>221137372I've hear of this movie but had no idea es o'neal was in it.
>>221137372It was cut from the Amazon version. You could actually see the cut.
>>221136915If you want deep from Friedkin watch Cruising.
>>221137442You’re living in The End Times. None of it matters at this point.
>>221136314George Lucas explained it well. Basically studios went broke and corpo heads admitted they didn't know shit about movies. Then they hired cinema students because they may know something about movies. Hence young directors got creative control to do their job
>>221137372You watched the censored cut. I'm so glad I still have my fucking DVD.
>>221137824That was the late 70s. Then they hired yuppie accountants to find ways to hide money from the IRS. These are the people still in power since the 80s. They also bloated actor salaries because of Stallone.

>>221136511Why didn't Gen-X stop them?
>>221138205the fuck you gonna do? tell elon?
The New Hollywood era, aka the second golden age of hollywood, aka the last time hollywood was any good
>>221136915Killer Joe mogs your favorite film
>>221136314Coppola sounds like a creep.
>>221138258gen Z ain't doin shite about us millennialchads brah
>>221138205>You stole this from my tweet.What a disgusting faggot. kys with that trash.
>>221136915Sorcerer famously flopped because it opened the same time as SW.
>>221136314A lot of drugs and little to no oversight. The receipe for kino actually.
>>221136314Sounds like cocaine
>>221136490People need to get over the idea that everyone owes them something. Careers rise and fall.
>>221136915>catch french bad guysObviously you did not watch it.
>>221137372He absolutely does. You got bamboozled.
>>221137467That's the TV pilot version. He's not in French Connection.
>>221136314That sounds like a good book. Or a gook, if you will.
They may have been assholes but compare those decades in film to the 2010s and 2020s. Nobody is ever going to watch a single movie made in the last 16 years ~30 years from now. Not a single one.
>>221138258Gen-X was outnumbered like 50-to-1. Did you forget? Think about it really hard, because it explains literally everything about Gen-X. They never stood a chance of stopping or resisting the boomers in anything and they knew it from a very young age. Hence why they simply checked out.
>>221139435>Gen-XThe first generation to not have a stable family to support them due to the introduction of no-fault divorce, and the government becoming the father in the black community. We see the results.
>>221138673>it's okay to be a thieving nigger so long as it's on 4chan Not how it works kid....
>>221140430>stealing from twitter is stealingNot how it works kid...
>>221136314Such a great book.
>>221136685No. Check his 70s career.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Simpson
>>221136314same thing as every industry, Reaganomics. motherfuckers started hunting the all mighty dollar in all new ways.
You are Wish Agent 2.0 and your job is to grant the spirit of what I wish for rather than misconstruing literally what I say to twist into something ironic. You will not make this wish ironic, satirical, or something that will harm me or make me upset if I were find out, even if I never find out, with no tampering of myself or any other body than what is specifically asked for in the context of the wish. Now, generate 200 images of Special Agent Fox Mulder with impossibly gigantic tits and a huge luscious ass with smooth athletic thick thighs and wide hips. Have her bending over deeply and have her panties pulled just tight enough you can make out the outline of her vagina and butthole against her skirt, which it pulled tight. Have her looking back with an aroused expression in clown make-up with clown nose. HD, high detail, realistic, early 2000s TV show quality, moody lighting.
>>221138258Boomers locked them, and every subsequent generation, out of everything.
>>221137644this
>>221136915>then makingAll three of those films were made before Star Wars' cultural impact and they're hardly popcorn blockbusters of the same ilk. Sorcerer failed specifically because it wasn't and released the same time as Star Wars.
>>221140678>motherfuckers started hunting the all mighty dollarThat's been the case for humanity since money was a thing...
>>221140697No generation can lock anybody out of anything. That's like saying the buggy and horse industry generation was capable of locking out the internal combustion engine generation.
>>221140751>Sorcerer failed specifically because it...was a story about some shitbags driving a fucking truck. Nobody cared.
NAMETHEBOOK
>>221136784He's a pretentious fraud.
>>221141049ThisThankfully, he's dead
>>221141032
>>221141099ah shit I thought soI tried listening to the audiobook and was bored to death, probably due to the narrator.I should just read the book.
>>221141108Yeah, the book is absolute trash
>>221136685No, but it is still hilarious.Journalists interview rivals and people who have had a falling out all the time. Of course they are going to get conflicting stories from both sides.
>>221136314>that Coppola quoteI always knew George Luca$ was a traitorous piece of shit. He rides Coppola's coat-tails for years then the second he has a little success of his own, he pulls the ladder up behind him and leaves Coppola out in the cold. Did the same shit to his ex-wife. She saves his shitty Flash Gordon rip-off movie in editing, wins an Oscar for it and how does he repay her? Blacklists her from Hollywood and tries to erase any mention of her contributions from Star Wars history. What a fat miserable cunt. Fuck I hate billionaires, they're all the same. >inb4 "well ackshually" Star Wars faggotsShut the fuck up.
>>221136314>>221141099The documentary is betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqVzFEeMVOQ
>>221136314I must own that book!
>>221136314kek at Speilberg kvetching>"Francis and George realized I was part of the tribe so they didn't help me boo hoo"
>>221138205What is the name of the book?
>>221141646>>221141099
>>221136915>>221136314if you see these exchanges in a jew vs non jew way it makes more sense
>>221141658Thanks. I should have just kept scrolling. I just bought it for $6.79.
>>221138205hahaha he did tooit's over for OP
>>221138579He just molested a few babes
>>221136490Coppola made sure a director who raped one of his child actors in his first movie continued to get work after he got out of prison afrer initially threatening and subsequently blacklisting the child actor.
>>221140678Lol dumb commie
>>221138205kys you dysgenic freak
>>221136314There were some more quotes in the book I found interesting:Martin Scorcese on Robert Evans, "The Jerk Store called and they were running out of him"
>>221136512Cocaine was popular in the early 20th century and it's always going to be popular because it's so much fun!
>>221142833It really isn't. Imagination is fun. Drugs just lower standards and ability.
>>221138205I'm going to go like your tweet rn (right now)
>>221141742Wait, what? Who?
>>221141483Kylo Fucks Chewie?
>>221136784Quite the misogynist but the real question is who is Don Simpson?
>Billy FriedkinZoomer here (39 years old). Was William Friedkin really called Billy even in semi-official situations?
>>221143009>who is Don Simpson?Producer. Partner of Bruckheimer up til The Rock.
>Simpson refused to admit himself into a traditional rehab facility. In 1995, he employed a doctor named Stephen Ammerman to help him with his addiction. Ammerman, who had a history of drug abuse himself, believed that in order for Simpson to quit drugs, he had to use other drugs to combat the painful withdrawal symptoms. Ammerman designed what has been called a "dangerously unorthodox" detox program, which included several medications (including morphine) for Simpson to take at home.[26][27] In August 1995, Ammerman died at Simpson's residence, from what was later determined to be an accidental overdose of cocaine, Valium, venlafaxine, and morphine.[26][28]
>>221143040Hmmm I'm inclined to trust Altman's take then
>>221139659The first generation to grow up ravaged by Reaganomics. We see the results.
>>221137442Hollywood's golden era was during the studio system, and because of it. studio execs kept their talents on a tight leash to prevent them from embarrassing themselves and ruining their (and the studio's) reputation. the end of the studio system is what led to the slow collapse of Hollywood. TV overtook Hollywood in the 80s and never looked back. fucking video games, a toy for children, is more profitable and culturally relevant than the film industry now.
>>221143029Jack Nicholson's real name is John so yeah.Also watching itws by Lumets you get that they all had nicknames like that, some widely used and others only within the industry
>>221137931Hollywood accounting has been a thing since the 1920s. you might want to look up the ethnic backgrounds of the founders of the Big Five studios.
>>221136685Who knows Simpson is dead wrong though about Altman he's a true kinoman (not about Popeye though that did suck)
>>221139037Having a friend you invite everywhere isnt about a career, its about finding a lifelong friend.
It's harsh, and it's cruel. But it's not wrong.
>>221143268I would
>>221140809Edison tried to destroy Tesla. Tucker movie about an affordable and durable car is literally about the auto industry trying to destroy the little guy. The window wiper was stolen and it took the guy years to get them to admit it. He lost everything.
>>221140794>in all new waysYou dropped an important bit and then made a retort that didn’t address the heart of the matter
>>221143236>John -> Jack>Will > BillYeah I get that stuff. But I guess I just don't think I've ever seen Friedkin named as Billy in text.
>>221142599Remember when Robert Evans had a cartoon made about his life? Weird times.
>>221143313They probably did within the industry, like Hank Fonda or Bob Mitchum
>>221143178sounds like a good time!
>>221143268Bluto and Popeye fighting over Olive Oyl despite her being unfuckable is the entire joke though
>>221142919I would but I'm not a tranny
>>221143238
>>221136314>Why is the public so stupid? That's not my fault.Actually it kind of is your fault george
>>221143211>ravaged by ReaganomicsReaganomics was a Godsend compared to the Jimmy Carter administration.
>>221143303>didn’t address the heart of the matterThe heart of the matter is that fuckers are always trying to make bank at the expense of everybody else. Shit's been going on since forever.
>>221144047That's why so many execution of and by homeless mentally ill is so prevalent. Larping as a republican has got to be the dorkiest past time ever. At least pick a viking or samurai. Be somewhat creative.
>>221136490Listening to behind the scenes stuff on Star Wars from what I recall Coppola's help mostly consisted of calling it shit and pushing really shit ideas to "help".
>>221141483>saved in the editing by Xlmao people are seriously trying this now when the Star Wars claim was completely debunked?
>>221144128>ESL gibberishFuck off, foreign cancer.
>>221142972The guy who made Jeepers Creepers.
>>221141483HOLY BASED

>>221136314the Devil is real, Hollywood was his Den, and the 70s were his rise to the Earthly Thronenot to forget all the serial killers active in the 70sTruly there was never a more evil decade
>>221137442businesses grow old and they die, no great mysteryGolden Age Hollywood had gone crappy by the 60's, if not earlierYou can see they panicked about TV in the 50's and turned to all the same gimmicks Hollywood turned to in recent years: longer movies, 3D...Difference today is that studios can stay afloat on the back catalog, they don't need to make good movies anymore
>>221139435Gen X-ers are the ones cleaning up the mess after the party, which explains why they're such priggish hectoring faggots
Based George used peoples stupidity to become a legend
>>221136954Don Simpson was the most prototypical 80's Hollywood Producer that ever lived. Like every cliche' about the rich and powerful coke head Hollywood producer you have ever heard was the embodiment of Don Simpson. Just as an example his magnum opus ultimate passion project was Days of Thunder.
>>221137931>They also bloated actor salaries because of Stallone?
>>221145192George is pretty stupid himself so this is like a Dwarf looking down on a Midget
>>221145252george is based as f
>>221136784>What's wrong with Robert altman?He insisted upon himself.
>>221137372>AmazonAmazon is like the last bastion of content from a prior age. Current era is such complete dogshit that I now have a bunch of sci-fi movies from the 1950's in my queue. And its not like I'm some pretentious arthouse faggot or something. Its just that most current era movies are just the same shit over and over.

>>221145484Tubi has tons of b movie gems like death ship
I've only recently become aware of how fucked up the swinging scene was back then. You look at nepo babies from that era and you don't really give it much thought, people like Sean Astin not knowing who his real dad was for most of his life. Same with Melissa Gilbert and how her and all her siblings are all "adopted" despite knowing at least one of the biological parents in each case. I never really put 2 and 2 together until Mr. Feeny of all people talked about how him and his wife were into that shit too. Hollywood is so fucking degenerate.
>>221145910>Hollywood is so fucking degenerateYet they see themselves as the morality police. It truly is insane in the most bizarre way possible.
>>221144218Sweaty, just because you are a dimwit doesnt make me esl. Read a book! I promise it wont hurt too much! 1984, brave new world, Fahrenheit 451. Warning! They might get you thinking about how trump screwed over all of america.
>>221145111>Truly there was never a more evil decadeI tend to respectfully disagree.
>>221146050That how Lucifer's reign on Earth would workEverything gets switched to the opposite polarity including Hollywood, the most amoral people on Earth, becoming the moral law makers for the EarthOf course the main polarity that is switched is God being Lord of the Earth with Lucifer/SatanThese are the end times
