It's all a bit of a mess.

OH SHIT no she didn't! She's out of control! She just SLAMED the industry!

It's not Hollywood creatives, but the banks that they're reliant upon to finance productions.

The movie financing department un-creatively wants to see the safest lineup of stars, directors, and a non-controversial script to maximize their chances of getting their loan back with interest.

Ironically, this also means that the risk you have to create interesting art is missing.

So the end product is safe, but because it's the same thing, it's more and more boring over time.

It's why an octogenarian Scorcese gets to make "The Irishman" with similarly aged Robert DeNiro, because that's a combination that made money in the past.

It's like AI shit.

It's great at first, but soon you realize there's nothing new coming out because it's just AI regurgitating its training data, and undercutting artists trying to make a living by making something new.

Similarly PornHub.

And here I was going out of my mind wondering what a nepobaby thought about the very important goings on in Hollywood!

It was a single sentence's worth of "damning".

This, btw, is an article about and interview someone else did. Which isn't a rare or new thing. But it's an example of why journalistic telephone games are a bad idea. Thks clickbait title is going to get shifted just enough by whatever site copies this article until someone is claiming Thad she went on a five minute tirade.

What it really was, was an answer given in sound bite size while eating really spicy chicken wings and trying not to just scream in pain. Her entire response, without pauses for the heat, was maybe thirty seconds long. If that. Interesting, yes. Accurate, yes. Damning? Not even remotely.

Honestly, one of the many damning things about Hollywood is that she has a career at all. She straight up can't act. It's not even that she acts poorly - she's so devoid of personality that she can't emote on screen. Hell, even in the Hot Ones interview she seemed to be merely going through the motions of reacting. I don't usually care about claims of someone just being a nepobaby, but in her case I can't imagine anyone would know who she is if it weren't for who her parents are.
