It’s easy to joke about, but I feel like this is a microcosm of the problems plaguing Hollywood. The notion that a franchise routinely closing in on $2B a movie at the box office is somehow not profitable speaks to how absolutely unhinged the budgets are going in.

    Everything about movies is just stupid. Napoleon dynamite cost 400k to make. Half of that money went into the jamiroquai song. Marketing for a movie costs more than a movie used to cost. A movie made 10 million dollars? Absolute failure. People like the rock get paid 50million per movie to just be there. I really hope Hollywood just collapses
