Fun fact: Rosemary Clooney is the aunt of international human rights attorney, activist, and timeless beauty Amal Alamuddin's actor husband, George Clooney.
 
I’m one of those niggas that thinks Hollywood should be a smoking hole but the Robert Redford death is interesting in that a decade from now, just about everyone worth a shit there will have died. There hasn’t been a big bankable new actor in a long time. Just because they keep shoving Emma Stone into shit doesn’t make her bankable. I can see the film industry collapsing along with all these older actors and actresses.

I don't really watch movies that much, but Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been one of the more bankable actors in recent memory. Tyler Perry does surprisingly well, too, mostly because he controls a lot of the operation and has a core audience for his films.

The bigger death knell would be AI actors. SAG issues aside, I cannot imagine Hollywood (and Bollywood) studios aren't tossing a ton of cash at the technology so the next bankable actress might not even be human.

Or, maybe it'll be Bob Redford again once they get the rights to recreate his likeness...

I had a fun thought about that. Initially my reaction was "oh hey that'll be handy ... Hollywood will have a new stable of whores that won't dare say a single word out-of-turn, so no accidental derailments of otherwise banal or ordinary slop like w/the Snow White remake or whatever 'franchise' Bree Larson helped wreck."

But then I realized ... Hollywood will have a new stable of whores who will literally say anything they want them to, meaning Hollywood itself will be shooting itself in the foot with its idiotic words rather than distancing itself and its words with a thin insulating meatware layer.

Oh god it's going to be comical watching that shit happen!

Except he's trashed most of the audience's goodwill and trust by being very overtly fake and disingenuous, and that shows in the box office numbers in recent movies he's starred in
So that ship has sailed
