How film stars faded - and pop stars took over

But while the public can't seem to get enough of seeing their
favourite pop stars on stadium tours, their favourite actors aren't
drawing them to cinemas in the same way.
While casting a big star used to guarantee some level of success at
the box office, the adulation which was once reserved for movie
stars
now seems to be directed at pop stars.
There are all kinds of factors at play - including the move towards streaming, the impact of the pandemic, and the film industry's
over-reliance on franchises, sequels and superheroes.
But the trend is also arguably a reflection of how audience habits
are
evolving. Today's fans crave authenticity - something you get with
pop
stars who write their own music, but not so much with actors who
are
by definition always portraying somebody else.
"I think our expectations of celebrities are changing in
general," The
Hollywood Reporter's Lily Ford tells BBC News.
"Music is extremely personal, the world's most famous and
glamorous
people are pouring their heart out, and, for the length of the
song,
we feel as close to an artist as we would our best friend."

None of this is to say there aren't successful movies anymore.
There
are. But what links them is generally not the bankable box office
star, but the intellectual property (IP) attached to the film.

1. Hollywood
was a man-made creation. It stayed that way until the 1970's in which
women gain more power. Afterwards it became about "Three is
Company" and that was the beginning of the end. The final stab in
the corpse was 9/11. It was a distraction.
2. People need people to play at event spaces. All you need to do is
market yourself cheap or even do gigs for free. From when they are
young their parents ( who might have been in the industry ) would hold
concerts and events. This way as time goes by these people would grow
up and take the place of the last person. Just like how Kid-Rock was a
big deal with JC but in his later-years he reverted to country. You
want to be a rock star? Then your going to be that band working on a
cruise ship, playing music they want along with some hits if any.
I have learned this and this alone, women lose the ability to give
birth but not men. Men needs to watch there health. However stupid men
who honestly believes there money. While there are women who give
birth into the fifties most of these women have had children from when
they were teenagers themselves. The Roman Calendar that was used most
likely adopted from other cultures ( pagan/various ) calendars rotate
around the lunar-cycle indicating when women are most fertile. All for slave-production. Not every womb is made equal.

Every generation starting with radio. Needs something different on the
radio to listen to. The image needs to be promoted as well. That is
the same with all industries. It is called the "Three Ring
Circus". The idea is to keep inside the circus as long as
possible. By having three shows on going the person is distracted and
waits all day or returns to the circus to see the next show, and show
after that.

Imagine if we had no media. Children would all get educated and
parents would actually start forming communities.
Everybody would be wealthy and functional. Nobody would live in fear
or doubt.
