Have you noticed that no matter how dead new atheism gets and how discredited Sam Harris becomes and how many snarky memes mocking Richard Dawkins are posted (including a whole episode of South Park) religion isn't recovering? -

@Escoffier This is true, yet it's not generating any blowback that might benefit religion. There is a vast memetic tide against religion across the world, with the possible exception of Islam.
My memetic attrition theory is just a novelty take, I can't prove that the collapse of agrarian society and rise of industry and now information technology have rendered all holy documents alien and nearly incomprehensible to modern man, but I believe it. -

@DW2 They had a few priorities that precluded that. They made sense at the time, only having seen what a mess Disney made of 7-9 do they seem like easily dismissed quibbles:
Thrawn trilogy would have required either CG de-aging the original cast or recasting, the former insanely expensive at the time, the latter infuriating. It's not like Young Indiana Jones had a big following.
Adapting an existing work would remove the 'OMG what happens next?' element, destroying that viral 'who killed Laura Palmer?' marketing energy.
The original story was actually wrapped up in Return of the Jedi so you had to spin up a new one anyway, and Disney wanted the flexibility to create brand new protagonists.
All reasonable... if you don't BLOW IT. -

@EvilSandmich To have Ford, Hamill and Fisher would have required a complete rewrite, which in a complex story tends to undermine the entire structure. -

@DW2 It took 53 years for retail investors to get over the trauma of 1929. -

@TrevorGoodchild The conventional view of that is that the tax cuts acted as a Keynesian stimulus, counteracting the high interest drag, thus a booming economy by 1983 despite what would be seen as outrageous rates today.
Also the feds didn't owe $33 trillion in 1981... -

To deflate the money supply would crash the economy so hard that there would be an insurrection. -

@DW2 Winston Churchill made it a lot further than that, plus unlike Mike he was really evil. -

What are next?
Shared September 23, 2024
Mike and Jay give a run-down of the new films and TV shows coming out over the next year and a half that you and your dumpster-diving grandmothers just might recognize. We're entering a time when the nightmares are now contagious viruses that spread from media to media and infect all our collective body cavities (anus). For example, for some reason that new emotional Ghostbusters trash was successful. People cried butterfly tears when they saw Venkman kiss Egon on the lips and rub his ghost trap and he ghost hugged his dumb daughter and told her he loved her even though she was clearly a lesbian and that secretly disappointed him even though he was a mute ghost. Well, that warranted a sequel of course. Then if that cash is flowing, green-light an animated series!!! Then green-light a live action series on Netflix or Prime or whatever. Might do a season or two. Who cares. People that work in the animation industry are starving and forced to deliver Amazon packages. 60% of them live on skid row or in tents outside of Dollar Generals. Nevertheless, studios are creating animated series based on any IP they can get their clawed hooves on and are using ghosts in Indonesia to animate them. Animated series about Twilight. Harry Potter. The Brady Bunch. Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Ronald McDonald and Friends. Punky Brewster. Se7en. Short Circuit The Harlem Globetrotters. Basic Instinct. Starship Troopers. Literally anything!!! They’d make an animated series about Twinkies if they could. Folks, we’ve gone beyond sequels and prequels and remakes. The nightmare is much worse. The virus is now mobile. It has left the theaters. It makes me wish Putin would invade the U.S. so I could spend my days in a foxhole waiting to get shot rather than reading stories about how there is going to be a Goonies reboot, live action series, and animated series all at once. Sometimes I just want to punch myself in the dick to feel something again. Too many shows. Too many streaming services. Too many monthly charges and most people have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet. Who has time to watch all this stuff? I mean, I do. I had an injury (anal-related) which forces me to sit in a wheel chair with a cut out hole in the seat for comfort. I can watch this garbage all day long. I supposed a lot of people who don’t work can watch streaming TV? The elderly. The disabled. But what does the everyday woman think when their zombie eyes sit down to watch a live action Pound Puppies™ series on Amazon Prime starring Jennifer Lopez and Jake Johnson as childless parents that adopt a CGI puppy. Or when a hard working man comes home from the construction site to put on the latest episode of the new live action Netflix He-Man™ Series that has a frustrating lack of homoeroticism. Or when their children forego homework to watch the new ALF™ animated series only to realize they are now dead inside. This content is like eating leftovers of leftovers. Three week old meats that we’ve cut the bad bits off of and hope we don't get emotionally ill. Eventually this will be the end of our civilization.

@DW2 I believe the EU was initiated after the reissue of the trilogy on VHS sold millions of copies and Lucas realized that, even without a new feature film, the fans could be milked for cash with new non-theatrical products. That's when he authorized the Zahn sequel trilogy, which he did give his stamp of approval. -

George Lucas was surprised that merchandising revenue collapsed in 1984 because he had abandoned Star Wars.
His pitiful efforts - Ewoks and Droids Saturday morning cartoons - didn't improve matters. -

@NoDoxGregBrady Lucas knew Lucasfilm was approaching a crisis because Star Wars was about to end so he hired a corporate hatchet man, former CFO of a computer services company, to put things in order (and avoid being seen as the bad guy). The new CEO's mandate was to bring the company into profitability without Star Wars merchandising and theatrical revenue.
The situation was dire and the CEO, who perhaps alone among all Lucasfilm employees could actually talk back to Lucas, approached George and told him that the one solution for the cash flow problem was simple and obvious: Do another Star Wars film.
'I just can't do it, you're on your own.'
So he laid off 50% of the staff and began looking for divisions to sell off for quick cash. -

The head of some kike talent agency lied on his resume to get his first Hollywood job.
He would fire anyone working for him who did the same.
That's how it works. -

I lifted this analysis from Patrick Willems.
The sequel trilogy trailers really are genius. They all have the same theme: Passing the torch. The old characters endorse the new ones. This is conveyed by the visuals, by the dialogue, and most effectively by the music. You get the memberberries of the old and the excitement of the new. (leave aside ourguys who were out from the first shot of the niggertrooper)
Now my qualifier to this: The trailers would have worked if it weren't for those meddling Marxists and women.
They had ONE JOB: Treat the old canon and characters with respect, thus preserving the old fan base while phasing in new characters and stories so it didn't become Star Trek Picard, a sad geriatric fiasco.
Rian Johnson blew that by maliciously destroying Luke, losing the old fans entirely. That's why Episode 9 had the lowest grosses of the series.
Even J.J. Abrams fucked up by casting such a sexless female lead. He needed a hot redhead. -

@TrevorGoodchild Many blackpilled takes come from people who don't understand the byzantine structure of the US fedgov. H-1B is basically maxed out every year as the pressure from the corporate slavers seeking powerless servants is immense.
Trump has no ability to make it worse without an act of congress, which is very unlikely. I'm sure he'd make it worse if he could, but he probably won't so I don't worry about it. -

@TrevorGoodchild The basic stance of the Ukraine touts is that Russia is weak and therefore they must lose.
Of course the possibility that the EU and US might be weaker never crosses their minds.
