things any mind these days

counting down our picks for the top 10
things that Hollywood doesn’t care about
anymore I am a genius I see things that
no one else does and pour it
I am rewarded with nothing but scorn and
mockery
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
the aspects of the entertainment and
film industries that the folks in charge
seem to put less value to some degree or
other nowadays you know what happens
when they find it it ends up my book
again tonight and guess what name I’m
gonna suggest we start with when I find
it a new home number 10 self-contained
blockbusters it used to be the
blockbuster films focused on
entertaining us with the story at hand a
[Music]
huge film with great effects or an epic
scale was enough to satisfy viewers and
executives however in the early 21st
century sequels and cinematic universes
are all the rage
meaning that Hollywood is just as
invested if not more so in selling us on
additional movies to come welcome to a
new world of gods and monsters while
these are well can be fun too many of us
miss the sorts of blockbusters that
standalone since they often have a more
unique identity
it is number nine small men budget
movies
speaking of blockbusters large budget
films are also becoming much more
popular in Hollywood to the point where
smaller bunch of films or even those
with a comparatively modest sum invested
in them are becoming less common than
they used to be come on come to Papa
blockbusters may have large amounts of
money devoted to them upfront but they
also yield more from the box office as
well as a lot more buzz which is what
makes them more appealing to executives
yeah but though the term terrible I mean
so sad smaller films are still made of
course but not as often by Hollywood
itself so indie studios are more often
rising to fill the gap number eight
relying on star power for many years
Hollywood has use big stars to sell
their films what should I do now run
some again yes audiences are sometimes
drawn to movies featuring movie stars
they’re familiar with and some are or
were big enough to act as the main draw
to a new film however star power has
waned of late mr. molten these things
are complex yeah well some stars are
still charismatic or famous enough to
draw audiences the majority of actors
simply aren’t enough to put butts in
seats it may be that viewers have become
more concerned with the stories of the
films they see or it could be a side
effect of the downtrend of movie going
as a whole they threw me out and they
locked every door back in number 7
stopping whitewashing as progressive as
many of its inhabitants are Hollywood is
being surprisingly lacs about adequately
representing minorities especially when
it comes to the casting of Caucasian
actors in non-caucasian roles otherwise
known as whitewashing figure you know
dude oh no I had to or more would have
done despite the backlash surrounding
several notable cases of the practice in
the early 21st century Hollywood seems
reluctant or uninterested in addressing
the issue in any meaningful way and
continues to whitewash with an
unfortunate frequency but thank you
ancient one first scene
you’re very welcome although casting the
best actor for the role is one thing
this can still be accomplished while
staying true to the characters origins
and by better representing a minority on
screen number six MPAA ratings the
Motion Picture Association of America or
MPAA is in charge of rating which films
should be seen by which audiences not
okay despite how draconian and arbitrary
they can be Hollywood has until recently
being relatively attentive when it comes
to rating films as traditional wisdom
holds that films that manage to skirt
under the R rating can be seen by more
people and thus make more money let’s
review the top 5 debuts however several
r-rated films have proven to be
surprised smash hits as of late
skewering what Hollywood thought it knew
about the system in addition fewer
mass-market films aimed at adults are
given G or PG ratings creating a more
homogenized range of ratings worth it
number 5 the American box office we’re
not saying Hollywood doesn’t consider
making money in America important
however it’s less important than it used
to be whatever happens while Americans
are going to theaters less than before
those audiences overseas are far more
numerous which has led many films to
gain anywhere from 1/2 to 80 percent of
their revenue outside of the United
States see your team is about to go up
against the only thing they can’t handle
what’s up
you this is also why many huge
blockbusters these days feature
simplistic plots brought humor and lots
of action as these things are not as
easily lost in translation Hollywood
doesn’t always make films just for
Americans anymore which while audible to
some degree does beg the question why
can’t they try to appeal to everyone we
are all targets now number 4 saving big
movies for summer Once Upon a Time
blockbusters were something saved for
the summer Hollywood would hold its
prized films for the summer to act as
tent poles for their studios now though
blockbusters have become such big
business that they’re basically released
year-round I can’t ignore it sometimes I
wish I could no you don’t from a
financial standpoint this makes perfect
sense after all with so many big names
crammed into three months the
competition would be too fierce for any
of them to make a profit spread out
across the year though well that means
that everyone could potentially get a
slice of the proverbial pie II prefer
pious turtle I’m pretty don’t have a
preference number 3 reviews and critics
although Hollywood still cares about
reviews and those who write them at
times such as when poor critical
reception before a release could hurt a
film’s profits more of the time studios
are more concerned with what will make
the most money and not with what will be
the best story even if it means
pandering to the lowest common
denominator should we wash our hands
with a glut of information available
online individual critics and reviews
don’t have as much power as they once
did in the court of public opinion
either which means filmmakers don’t have
to cater to them as much as before
something doesn’t smell right
it smells us right touch is ever going
to smell number 2 fans to be fair
Hollywood has rarely if ever cared about
fans fans of films and/or their source
material are difficult to please perhaps
more so than critics figured you be
older
and be able to see more your face all
fans have different ideas about what
they want to see in a film should it
stick close to the original property or
should be free to do its own thing all
right man thanks for stopping by
well I guess the graciousness has run
out how Tauron any given fan is to those
two extremes varies wildly and is
virtually impossible to predict so
Hollywood rarely tries instead they
almost always focused on what appeals to
the average moviegoer while this is
understandable it also fails to consider
that fans are a built-in audience
speaking of which
[Music]
number one telling original stories
nowadays original films are few and far
between in Hollywood too the studio’s
ears the word original is just another
way of saying a film is untested risky
or hard to sell Hollywood loves sequels
prequels integrals remakes reboots and
adaptations for one simple reason they
were successful before so they’re
theoretically more likely to be so again
the only problem is that the cavalcade
of rehashes and additions have left the
industry and its audiences starving for
new blood and while adaptations add that
after a fashion it did still be nice to
see more original films do you want some
