At high altitudes where the air is cold and thin, it is possible for a pilot to find, quite suddenly and without warning, that his airplane has entered a condition where his aircraft’s stall speed and overspeed meet.
"and they’re doing so entirely without career or personal consequences."
Exactly. But as you point out, it's hard to see how they could be replaced in anything like a timely manner if they were to receive some career consequences.
Right... screenwriting isn't a skill you're born with... it's something that has to be taught. So it's not like you could fire everyone and go out there and find a bunch of studio-movie ready center-right screenwriters ready to go, tomorrow.
I agree that it is a real challenge to reform institutions that have been captured by cultural Marxists and that is now a long list of institutions which includes most of the S&P 500. Disney has become unwatchable for half of the bifurcated culture. If reform is possible, which is doubtful, I suspect hitting bottom is a prerequisite. Where will they attract the artistic talent from when they are a product of such institutions where the capture is most complete. The entertainment industry is more dependent on the artists than say the commodity beer industry where, for example, Bud Light can be salvaged over time with a simple marketing and label reform.
yeah a lot of the response I've gotten is of the "just fire everyone and start over" variety but the problem with that is screenwriting is a very specific art and screenwriters aren't really born, but taught. You could decide to start over with a bunch of more middle American screenwriters, but that would take time and the studios must release a movie this friday, and then again next friday, and then again the friday after that... forever.
That said, I have plans to start incorporating more "how to" stuff in my essays for aspiring screenwriters who may have a more moderate or right leaning perspective.
Its' not us . It's you. Get with the program. That's the clarion call.
Not only are the studios in coffin corner, their altimeter, box office receipts, has been replaced by a set of flashy, but useless measurements
