This is a good look at what Dennis Prager points out all the time.....everything the left touches, they destroy......and John Nolte takes a look at the "Movie Star," and how leftists in hollywood killed them....
John Nolte dissects the entertainment industry better than just about anyone...except maybe the Critical Drinker....
“The hottest package at this year’s Cannes Film Festival stars a 76-year old action star and is a reboot of a movie that first dazzled moviegoers in 1993.” Variety is talking about Sylvester Stallone and his hit movie Cliffhanger. Yep, Cliffhanger 2 is the biggest deal at a prestigious worldwide film festival: a sequel to a 30-year-old movie starring a guy old enough to be a great-grandfather.

That is absurd. Streaming has only been a serious force for about a decade, and Hollywood has not been minting any new superstars since the 1990s.
The problem is not streaming; the problems are the following…
Here is what happened: the studios believed they could sell movies based on brands and high concepts forever, but now they are all out of brands and high concepts, and there is nothing left to put butts in seats.

The problem is not streaming; the problems are the following…
- The aging male stars everyone still worships have two things in common: they are cool and masculine—as opposed to Timothée Chalamet.
- The aging female stars everyone still worships have two things in common: they are feminine, and they are fun, as opposed to uptight and butch.
- Superstars do not spend all day smugly yelling at people on Twitter.
- Superstars hide between movies to boost their aura.
- Superstars star in iconic movies, not disposable and/or self-righteous junk.
