PISS CHRIST SHIT CHRIST
The Last Temptation of Christ, Scorsese was able to take the picture to their rival Universal Studios, which provided fresh funding and distribution. Today, Universal and Paramount are owned by Comcast and Skydance, respectively, each of which controls an array of movie studios, cinemas, TV networks, and streaming services that are tied together financially and editorially, reducing competition. Today, Scorsese might have to shelve the picture or hold off trying to make it in the first place.
Another change involves the application of the schemas of victory and defeat to virtually every realm of public life. Since the 1980s, politics has taken on the character of sports. And politics and sports together, their contests broadcast around the clock by the mass media, have claimed cultural space and attention long occupied by the arts and other pastimes that aren’t oriented toward measurable outcomes such as wins and losses. The metaphor of “culture wars” is itself an expression of this: it represents polyhedral social conflicts as two-sided battles with clear adversaries who must wind up as either victors or vanquished.
When you got an all-out prizefight, you wait until the fight is over, one guy is left standing. 'N' that's how you know who won.
