YouTube changed media for me.
Film Is there a lack of original material & originality in mainstream film, TV and music?

i’m currently developing a soap opera that blows your theory out of the water. it’s eastenders, but everyone has giant boobs. it’ll feature all your favourites, like the ginger, gobby one, but with bigger boobs. not to forget the two bald, big ones. grant and phil mitchell will be there too.
Will it be on Booby C 1?
Sounds like the new way that all remakes should be made going forward. If you can't develop an original idea, you're required to give every single character giant boobs before the film will be released.
I gave up on pretty much all of mass media about 12-15 years ago (Well I read, a lot, mainly online). It all felt so similar and repetitive at the time. The older I get the less I get berated for not knowing something.
The only thing I did watch while it was new was narcos. So whenever anyone would want to talk about anything netflix I had something to fall back on.

Yes.
Thanks - I hadn't watched it all the way through at that point. It can be hard to tell these days.
I think it's less about originality and more about what can make the most money. The entertainment business is a multi billion dollar industry and making original series, films and music is a high risk strategy.
If you know that releasing a beloved franchise sequel every few years will make money regardless of the quality then why wouldn't you?

Big if true.
I nearly tagged you in it when I posted it.
Yes, but it's not so much a lack of originality as much as the human brain having a finite capacity for creativity, especially when it comes to storytelling. Every person's human experience differs at least a bit relative to everyone else's, but there are only so many "original" stories a human being can tell.
It’s the same two guys who did the Joe Rogan satire from last year.
Have no idea who they are but their work is so good. Also now that it’s gone viral, some movie executive is desperately going to try and get a slinky movie made.
The writers don't decide what gets produced. They are hired.
Part of the problem is us. I like comfort and many others do too. If there is a new batman, I'll probably get to eventually or at least check the reception. If something new comes out, it has to be so good that it reaches me through word of mouth. I think many people have this in one form or another. So the companies react and push sequels.
Just now, I spent a couple of hours listening to music. All tracks I'm already familiar with. Why? Because its easier and less annoying than trying something new (and perhaps not liking it).

R I'm responsible for superhero movies and Disney Wars.The host in that one is Tim Heidecker. He‘s one half of Tim & Eric and has worked on a lot of good stuff including I Think You Should Leave.
A Michael Bay slinky movie with Mark Wahlberg would be fecking epic though.
Oh yeah I knew about Heidecker but the other two I didn’t. Will have to check this out.
Your right but when I was in school, our media studies teachers made us watch the Mark Wahlberg film The Happening(Along with that awful Charles Angels remake) for about half a year. Which now means I have PTSD whenever I hear a Boston accent.
I think i watch more Youtube than TV these days.
Same.
Please don't produce a shit load of annoying songs played at every disco, party, wedding etc
Going back to an earlier comment, why do people think YouTube changed media? I don't watch much YT but it seems to be a common opinion
