The Land That Time Forgot (Hollywood Is Dead)

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

Remember when the cinematic experience was so great?
What's happened mate?
Where's all the films?
Is the Hollywood sign in flames?
Cineworld going bust
Maybe if Avatar 2 was thrust
Into cinemas earlier
Hardly anything out 
All seems inferior
Films pushed back until the next calendar year
I don't think I've been even 5 times in 2022
The Batman, Nope and Doctor Strange
Anything else been out good and new?
So much has gone through a change
Wokeness is all the range
Seems to be agenda driven
Who's making this drivel?
Bring back the classics
Like The Land That Time Forgot
What happened to having fun?
God forbid alienating anyone
Gone are the times of just being entertained
So much is flopping
Who will be blamed?
Watered down and weak
Hollywood is dead
This new shit makes me fall asleep
Shaking my head
I'm going to bed

    I was going to buy 'Vanity Fair'. I might still buy it. Is it about Hollywood? lol.

      Yes, haha. If you are in England and signed up to your local library you can get an app which let's you read these magazines for free on your tablet etc.

      We have taken to watching older films and the classics just to revive that old silverscreen feel.

        Me too, 80's action is where it is for me, can't beat them.

        • arqios

          Lethal Weapon, Mad Max, Rush Hour (bit later)

          • Shaunmatthewcpoetry

            Yes! Absolute classics!

            (great commentary, dear poet)..
            but hey they got popcorns and ice cream
            and gallons of fizzy drinks, and melted cheese on 'Doritos' chips
            ...
            if you want a movie, stick to the black and white, great's
            it's all been downhill
            since hollywood found colour
            and cgi
            is cheaper to acquire and manipulate
            than an original script
            or a half-decent gag

              Thanks very much, completely agree, Hollywood is dead in the dumps.
