    “Why won’t anyone go to the movies anymore?”

    “I don’t know! We jacked up the ticket and concession prices so high that it costs $30-$50 to see a movie, the floors are always sticky, and assholes always talk and check their phones through the whole film. what’s not to love? and since we only greenlight films that cost $300M+ to make, we have to consider them automatic failures if they don’t make $1B at the box office opening weekend! (which we still declare a loss due to embezzling/“Hollywood accounting”)”

    “obviously! how else will I buy by 100th country estate? let’s jack up streaming subscription prices, crack down on piracy, monetize actor images with AI, and refuse to pay our writers a decent wage. what are they gonna do, strike? hahaha!”
