Movies losing money means very little in the greater scheme of things beyond Hollywood.
You can't bleed from the throat and expect to live if you don't stop the bleeding.

Personally I'm curious if the 2020s are going to be the Neo 70s or Neo 80s.
Seems likely if we consider the 2010s the neo 60s, given how they nearly mirror each other perfectly. Thought I'd honestly rather live in the 60s, at least star trek and Batman didn't suck back then even if they were beyond cheesey and campy.

I'd wager it'd be more like the Neo 80's if Trump wins 2020, with the way things are going. But I want a Neo 90's. Bring on the edgy!

I'd say the 2010's are a lot more like the Neo 70's, with the economic hardship in the early part of the decade and the rise of a more aggressive leftism (New Left in the 70's and SJW's in the 2010's) alongside a major heroin epidemic (in the 70's, it was only in major cities though) and all the awful punk cringe coming back. After all, punk started in the 70's and the early American Antifa gangs emerged in the 80's punk scene.

A lot of the aesthetics, fashions, and mentalities of SJW's also are derived from punk, either directly via Antifa or it came indirectly from subcultures that either directly branched off of punk (Emo/Scene Kids) or tried to imitate it (Hipsters)

Race relations were still pretty bad in the 70's, and you had a lot of black supremacist leftist groups committing acts of violence such as the Black Panthers and the Symbionese Liberation Army. Now it's Black Lives Matter and the We Wuz Kangz cults like the resurgent Nation of Islam and the Black Hebrew Israelite groups. Also, a lot of these black militants would work together with left-wing terrorist groups like Weather Underground and we see similar collaboration with Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

The problem is that we didn't get any of the good stuff from the 70's. Star Wars is terrible and so is our relationship with Iran, plus no Godfather films. We don't have the good music of the 70's either, no rock or disco.

You can if the movies are loss-leaders for propaganda designed to break down society.

Why doesn't Hollyweird make more movies like 'Passion of the Christ'? Why didn't Hollyweird make more movies like 'Gone with the Wind'? Why didn't Hollyweird make more movies like 'The Birth of a Nation'?

True but many of those groups had their origins in the late 60s after the deaths of so many civil rights leaders sent the idea that "peaceful protests are useless". So at most you can say the 2010s are a hybrid of the late 60s and early 70s. Hopefully history repeats itself and 2020 will be a new "1984" not the Orwell one but the one where Regan got reelected and things finally began picking up in the us...aside the AIDS and crack anyway
 
Internet culture, specifically chan culture, will start to bleed into real life. If it hasn't already started.
You’re about a decade late on that call. The 2007 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade had a fucking “Rickrolled” joke in it.

I lived through the transition from memes being insular nonsequitors to something cranked out for ad revenue all the way to the point we’re at now. In my teens, I tried and failed to explain to my family and many of my peers what the fuck was going on with this strange internet shit while now anyone under 30 knows exactly what a “meme” is by name and the vast majority over 30 have at least a passing familiarity with the concept.

Absolutely everyone with any kind of internet presence has been an vector for internet culture ether wittingly or unwittingly. Not just the ideas, but the parlance and the means by which they spread. And that shit isn’t contained in the slightest. How many times have you heard a conversation start with “hey I saw this funny/interesting thing in the internet the other day...”?

If you’re referring to more recent Chan culture spilling into the real world, we’ve been there since 2016 and haven’t stopped. Browse the Donald subreddit and you’ll find some 40 year old boomer posting a Pepe before the page is done loading.

Sorry I’m not trying to come down on you, I just think it’s fascinating as fuck how the most degenerate, out-there weirdness has filtered it’s way into the American living room, and I’ve been watching it for a while.

"Hollyweird"? You're talking like a Chick Tract at this point.

Passion of the Christ was a niche film that was basically a passion project (no pun intended) for Mel Gibson. Taking any of the religious elements aside, the fact that the film's dialogue is done entirely in two functionally dead languages from the Classical Era and the fact that the movie doesn't shy away from the bloody reality of Roman torture techniques would be enough to dissuade any Hollywood producer. Too expensive and risky.

There's a similar reason for why you don't see movies like "Gone With The Wind" and "Birth of a Nation" anymore, and it's not political either. Hollywood's not interested in epic dramas anymore. The only exception to that trend is Martin Scorsese, who can get away with it for similar reasons as Mel Gibson. It's often been rumored that Scorsese is actually hated by the bigwigs in Hollywood, which is why he kept getting snubbed at the Academy Awards until The Departed in 2006. Even then, it's been speculated that The Departed won Best Picture solely as a way to shut Scorsese up.

Basically, 2010's Hollywood isn't interested in making anything that's not capeshit, romantic comedies, unwarranted remakes, or shoddy hipster Oscar bait movies.

Joker is basically a Scorsese-style drama disguised as capeshit. Which is part of why the MSM, Hollywood critics, and the clickbait mills were furious over it. It went against the current cultural paradigm of capeshit and woke shit.

Jews don't thrive well outside of first-world nations, so it is to their direct benefit to maintain society; making it illogical for them to produce propaganda designed to break down society even if you assume that all Jews are high-functioning sociopaths who only do things to increase or maintain their wealth and status.

We are experiencing the collapse of society. It is slower than you would expect. Rome fell over hundreds of years. Over many generations. Institutions cease to function. Wealth inequality destabilizes society. Traditional gender roles become androgynous. Rome burned due to mass migration of Goth refugees. Lies become mandatory. Things fall apart.
It will get much worse.

You may be right, sometimes I wonder if we've been living through a "slow motion apocalypse" ever since 9/11.

Personally I'm curious if the 2020s are going to be the Neo 70s or Neo 80s.

As Syaoran Li pointed out, we've already been living through the Neo 70s, hopefully the Neo 80s is what follows.

Western nations have not had their racial homogeneity and other uniting forces destroyed for positive reasons, you submoron. It's been done to make them willing golems to attack the rest of humanity.

1. If you want to talk about that homogeneity being "destroyed", let's talk about who is refusing to assimilate, perhaps by refusing to give up their barbarian goat-fucker religion, or at least tone it down so it's compatible with civilization? Want to take that redpill, Abdul?
2. Racial homogeneity isn't a unifying force; that's some bullshit made up by GL Rockwell and his like to galvanize the base. People hate the near-outgroup and disregard the far-outgroup. When blacks were the far-outgroup and Krauts, Micks, and Dagos were the near-outgroup, the latter were blamed for destroying the "racial homogeneity" of the country.

Why would any remotely decent person, even a Sunni, assimilate to your disgusting Jew-ridden sink of perversion, Schofieldite?

You: The huwhites are being destroyed by the immigrants refusing to assimilate!
Also You: Immigrants shouldn't assimilate into Western culture.

Based schizophrenic reasoning, buddy.

Why should there be immigrants? The world is accounted for. Invasions cause friction. The only thing left is to find a place to put the Jews- perhaps the North Pole.

What about the United States? Y'know, the one major Western nation that was not founded on a specific ethnic identity?

Even if the majority of the Founding Fathers were of English stock, they didn't want to create the United States along only one particular ethnic or religious identity. While the majority of the people in the Thirteen Colonies were Protestants of English stock, it was not enough of a majority to be considered homogeneous. Keep in mind that several of the British colonies in North America were not founded by the British. New York and northern New Jersey were originally Dutch colonies and Sweden had colonies in Delaware, southern New Jersey, and parts of Pennsylvania that were taken by the Dutch before being taken by the British in the late 1660's.

While most of these inhabitants were Northern Europeans, not all Northern European peoples were considered "White" in the 18th and 19th Centuries (just ask the Irish and the Ulster Scots) and you even had small Jewish communities in the southern colonies.

You couldn't even build America along a single religious identity, as most of the British colonies north of the Potomac were either captured from the Dutch or were designed as the demographic equivalent of containment boards for any religion that was at odds with the British Crown and the Church of England.

Maryland was founded by Roman Catholics and was named after the Virgin Mary and Massachusetts was founded by the Puritans and was ran as a de facto theocracy where even Christmas was too "degenerate" and could get you lynched

There were too many ethnic and religious identities in the Thirteen Colonies to create the United States along the lines of a state for a single "founding stock" and so the United States was founded along an identity based on Enlightenment ideals, most notably individual liberty and liberal representative democracy.

That's a major reason why most of these immigrant groups eventually adapted American culture. We saw it with all the "European Ethnics" (who are now White) and the East Asians. We even see it with Latinos who came here legally or who have been living in the United States for multiple generations.

The one ethnic group that hasn't really worked well within American culture are the Blacks, and that's because they did not choose to come over here. The first African slaves came to the English Colonies in 1619. By your logic, the blacks are "founding stock Americans" and while it is cringe-inducing to hear constant leftist whining about "structural racism" and "muh systemic oppression", they did suffer under systemic oppression in the past.

Even though Critical Race Theory can kiss my ass, we can't ignore slavery and segregation did historically exist and it did play a major role in the dysfunction of the urban black community, although LBJ's haphazard expansion of the welfare state also played a part in it as well, especially for the more recent generations of the black community.

Also, I've got to ask you a couple of serious questions...

1. If the Jews want to destroy America/The West, then what is their motive? What do they gain from destroying Western society?

2. Why do you cling so hard to reactionary puritanism? A lot of the things you consider to be "degenerate" are only seen as such because they were first outlawed and condemned by the Jewish laws found in Leviticus and Deuteronomy and some of those Jewish bylaws were also adopted by Christianity and Islam. For someone who is so opposed to the Tribe of Judah, you sure love to cling to the (((traditionals and morals)))
 
Why should there be immigrants?
Why should we turn away hard workers? You are aware people immigrated in the past, right? China, for example, has a fuckload of ethnic groups, used to have a lot more, and (until recently) allowed them to travel and move about if they signed the paperwork.

The world is accounted for. Invasions cause friction.
The fact that you think the voluntary admission of residents by a nation is an "invasion" is laughable. Maybe the USA should annex whatever dustbowl you call home and remind you what an invasion looks like?

The only thing left is to find a place to put the Jews- perhaps the North Pole.
Or their homeland, Israel. People should live in their ethnic homelands, right? Wait, you can't do that because Jew Bad Muzzie Good.

Well thank you for asking: can you please stop using my race (Ethnic Irishmen who immigrated to America) for the example for why America needs to be multicultural?

Seriously its the only time we are ever separated from the general white population in political arguments and then we are just put back in the metaphorical argument box to be only used for the same reason some other time.
