The popcorn moment, Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's a story you need to hear to believe.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Then grab your popcorn because there is more. I start
with a story that you'll see on the show sheet
at Tony kats dot com. That Halloween weekend when it
comes to box office, the worst weekend of the year,
(02:15):
the worst Halloween weekend in thirty two years.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And the worst October in three decades.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
This according to John Noulty over at Bright Part Nolty's
been covering this stuff for decades.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And every single movie is just nonsense.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Total weekend revenue came in at forty nine point.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We're used to hearing about movies making that in one weekend,
just one movie, all of them brought in nothing. Now,
certainly we can argue that it's possible that there were
movies that didn't connect and no one cared about, you know,
(03:05):
the Springsteen movie they made. The vast majority of people
weren't interested in some movie a biopic about Springsteen. Right,
you want to talk about K pop demon Hunters. It's
a very small segment of the population that's really going
(03:30):
to be down for that. They're just not making good movies.
They're not telling good stories. They're trying to resurrect old properties.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's kind of valueless.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Then, of course, it's what they have done to movies,
woke this and woke that and messaged this and beat
you over the head that why can't you just be interesting,
create good characters, tell a good story.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That's all you have to do.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It seems that some people in how what are getting
this message. It isn't about politics, it's about just making
good stuff. Jennifer Lawrence is doing an interview with The
New York Times and Jennifer Lawrence says.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
The following celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on
who people vote for, and so then what am I doing.
I don't want to start turning people off to films
and to art that could change consciousness or change the
world because they don't like my political opinions.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So change consciousness or change the world could be seen
as I would like for my movies to make money
so I.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Can keep making movies.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Uh, and one could could I would? I would ask
you the question. I didn't catch all interview. I just
got this, this this clip right here. I will wonder
if if being a parent has changed you at all,
just in terms of a generalized philosophy, because it is
true that being a parent does change I don't think
there's any question about that, and so I'd be curious
if she felt that in her case, the idea that
(05:12):
celebrities don't influence elections, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That isn't true.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
The question is what is the change, and then what
is the reaction.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I think it's easy to.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Say that if Taylor Swift says, hey do X, with
all the fan base that she has, it could have
an effect hold on I know what you're gonna say
about Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That is not the argument.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I am saying that there is no doubt if she
came out and said X, it could have an effect
because the.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Same people are saying, well, she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
A fan of Trump, and Trump said that she hates
Taylor Swift, and.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Look what happens. Ah, she fell apart and lost followers.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And if she had said support Donald Trump, we'd be
cheering it. So let's not think and you'd be like, oh,
that's good. Now, these young people know that Trump's okay.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So let's not do that to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Let's at least honestly address the fact that, yes, celebrity
can influence things. As a matter of fact, I think
history has shown us with examples that celebrity does influence things.
Take a look at us culturally, not influenced by celebrity.
We played Billie Eilish last week saying, hey, billionaires, why
(06:30):
are you billionaires? Give away your money? You're a millionaire
a Billie Eilish, why do you give away your money?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Hey? Why are you looking at me? That's probably what
she would say. So these things do.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Have an effect because bad ideas do carry this way
and they do carry through celebrity.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
What I find interesting here is that.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Her argument is incorrect, but her the end result.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Of her argument, I think is accurate.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Let me just go about making film, let more people
see it. It will make more money, and it's better.
The idea that's going to affect the world can't answer that.
The idea that's going to affect your pocketbook and get
other people paid or make in the movie absolutely true,
So why would you get in the way of it.
(07:23):
So her discussion of her analysis, I think is misguided.
I think the end result of her analysis, I'm not
talking politics anymore, is probably a very smart play.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's weird when you get that right.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Her explanation is absolutely incorrect, that I would say, in
some cases just a flat out lie.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But the end result, yeah, that's probably the right thing
to do. Bravissimo, Go make good films. That's what I say.
