Interesting take on why they don't make movies like they used to

This is interesting from someone that is in the biz and successful on why we don't see the same kind of movies that we used to see.



I still buy DVD and BD, but not tons. Then I rip them and stream them on my home network.

For the life of me, I'll never understand the fascination with hot sauces.

Interesting interview...

There's hot for the sake of being hot and then there is hot that actually enhances the flavor profile.

Good sauces are the later.

Yeah, I was just going to watch the one part, but ended up watching the whole thing. I like spicy food, but I want to be able to taste it. If it's too hot, you can't taste anything.

Yeah. I have a feeling that I would have stopped for the last 1 or 2, maybe 3.

Wow, I have been sucked in, and I'm now watching Mila Kunis (who apparently, does not like spicy food).

That guy has a bunch of videos eating hot wings with celebrities. The one with Gordon Ramsay is a hoot!

I always hope it is hot enough to kill the various and sundry Montezuma revenges in the cantina food I’m eating.

It is not true that the people making the movies split the money with the people running the movie theaters. Theaters often get 0.0% of the gate, and have to make all their money at the snack bar.

That also answers the question: "Why there are so many Super Hero movies?"

at some point it delivers a bit of a high, and the more you do it the more you are used to it, and the further you can go.

It does something with endorphins..


and a day later with yer sphincter... some people get off on pain.

I've heard that is close to the part of the brain that controls your sex drive.
If you like hot you are probably horny too.

based on one data point, that seems like a strong possibility.

well sexdrive is all about hormones and endorphins..
The hormones will tell you what you are attracted to, the endorphins will be the reward for actually getting there.



Any addiction is pretty much a problem with endorphins, if you get your kicks from getting ass slapped, it will be getting you the endorphins and you'll keep looking to get spanked to get the endorphins. and it wears off so in the end you'll need to get slapped harder to get the same reward.

same with anything really.. hot sex, hot sauce, high speed, runners high, dope high, masochism or sadism.. if you cannot moderate, you will end up needing more and more to prevent the rewards from drying up.
The problem is rarely the drug or whatever it is.. the problem is the person who cannot moderate.. Quit one thing and they'll end up on something else.


Not sure if there is such a thing as Hot sauce addiction, but there is a high to it.. I'm not entirely convinced its for me.. I like spicey food but Thai even, but you won't see me eating a carolina reaper.. To me its a form of masochism

I've had a lot of spicy food. I ate a coin sized slice of fresh jalapeno once that really kicked my aß.

I ate one piece and it was fine, but the second piece was like eating lava. I didn't enjoy it at all.
