you can't buy good ideas, you can buy people, sets, equipment, editing software, but good ideas can't be manufactured the same way as tools and objects or found as easily as people who can set up a green screen or work a microphone, and that's exactly what hollywood is lacking
they have all the money in the world but the one thing they can't buy is what they need to make their movies good, so instead they pump all the money they can into bells and whistles and then supplement the quality for controversy
an ugly actress gets people talking- people who wanna claim to be good and rightious will flock to defend it, people who wanna mock it will hatewatch, everyone will talk and write articles and make vidoes on the matter, it's free publicity, and worst case scenerio? just use the failed movie to money launder
the kinda fuck around behavior that would bankrupt a small independent studio means something much different to these people
