[QUOTE="J_B_, post: 77114186, member: 428251"] Having dabbled in film & literature as a hobby, I can tell you art doesn't go anywhere without a lot of marketing. For most commercial films, good or bad, woke or not, the marketing budget is typically similar in size to the production budget. Most artists need financial help, which means patrons, which means courting those patrons. There are artists who do art for art's sake, but unless you're plugged into a tight-knit artistic community, you'll never hear of them. Trust me. Any artist you know of who plays at the national level has been backed by lots and lots of marketing $$$. Even then, bad is bad. With a few exceptions, marketing can't save a bad movie (i.e. one with bad production quality). I agree the Rings of Power was a train wreck, and I'm sure Amazon is well aware of that. They'll never admit it in public. Rather, they'll put on a brave face about making season 2, but give it time and you'll see how committed they actually are. I wouldn't be surprised if they let it quietly fade away and no season 2 ever appears. Then Avatar. I wasn't crazy about the first one, so I wasn't going to see the second. However, because some friends wanted to see it, I tagged along. And I have to say ... I think the second is better than the first. It's not great cinema, but it's entertaining. Hollywood is desperate to find the next Game of Thrones. They haven't found it yet, and I happen to know that's because they haven't bought any of my properties yet. Hee hee. [/QUOTE]
