Another point that’s been raised is that many of the scripts produced and released this summer were sold in a pre-Trump era. The definition of what makes a good comedy has changed quickly and dramatically in the past year. “Saturday Night Live” and late-night television have captured much of the comedy zeitgeist during and especially since the election — how are movies supposed to compete?

If that were true, wouldn't Hollywood support Trump??

If it were false, wouldn't you have an actual, factual comeback, instead of deflecting into an obvious and false straw man distraction?

You're assuming that tax breaks and money is all people care about. Actors, even the ones earning millions per movie, remember when they

Making it personal is the perfect way to frame the argument. When you speak in abstracts ("Hollywood...") it implies that everyone

I'm not calling any one person out. You are calling me out. That is personal. Can't you be accepting of me just the way I am??

Jimmy, the ACA is just robbery. You steal / you tax / you fine, whoever does not buy your product, regardless of what anyone wants.

Sniper movies will be a big hit, and The Dead Zone is due for a remake.

I agree tastes may have changed, but it doesn't entirely have to do with Obama/Trump.

Sure, but the article is saying that the concept that makes a successful comedy has changed - adult debauchery movies are out of audience

Folks can see a crap movie a mile away and they aren't going to spend money on them anymore.
