The “Oscars™” and the predators they are named after.
A Special Oscars Takeaway:
Humans are funny. Lol.
We will collectively support an industry that celebrates itself for effectively manufacturing and marketing fantasies, in a business model where a disposable video with an average shelf life of a few years or less, might cost $100 million US or more… and have no purpose other than to “entertain” a human for 2 hours with a violent tale of impending doom or forbidden love. Please stop and think about it.
50. Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Production budget: $216,733,421

48. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Production budget: $218,696,501
Worldwide gross: $557,107,848
1. Avatar (2009)
Production budget: $478,792,250
Worldwide gross: $3,136,279,608
This industry also weaves fantasies about itself that are necessary to the whole charade and so much a part of the global illusion of command and control that has been in place since the inception of civilization.
“The Great Spectacle.”
Sadly the workers in this business are willing to do almost anything to be in these fantasies so that for a fleeting moment they can feel fulfilled.
Finally, if one were to prescribe to the Quantum or Eastern Religion notion that what you think becomes, then on the whole, observing the volume of, interest in, and storyline/morality of the content of these fantasies… we are in for a very rough future.
Side note: Next time some “entrepreneur” approaches you with a pitch deck that has an idea for helping the ecology or reduce CO2 emissions or generally improve on man’s condition, give her a break and invest a little… or a lot! $300M for Transformers 4 or $25M to Wipe with a weed, Not with a tree! Forever. #co2 #subgenius #industrialization #manufacturing #transformations #oscars #hemp
