That's some excellent advice. It will be harder work to produce higher quality content, but I'm certain that it can be done. The question is will it be done. I'm hoping that the idea will gain some steam on Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/KillHollywood/). Personally, I think that it's time to rethink the whole model. People are certainly willing to drive to see a movie, but I wonder if they would be so willing if they had access to almost as good content for free right at home. Perhaps there is also the social incentives of getting together with friends. Whatever the draw, I'm sure that it could be replaced if the right creative minds were involved.

[...] This is a really interesting article about the idea there are different types of attention, which mean different things: For the Valley to do that, it’s going to have to get out of the mindset that eyeballs equal quality. My guess is far more people watch a funny video of a talking dog on YouTube than many Oscar nominated films. Even the most commercial blockbuster films have 40,000 showings in a given weekend. Compare that to a YouTube video which can get 40,000 views in a viral minute. [...]

Do you think Hollywood is reading this? There is no "Hollywood". There is only a massive collection of individuals, all of whom take part, to a greater or lesser extent, in the idea of "Hollywood". So this language of violence and warfare will get you nowhere. Let's say someone who actually works in Hollywood reads this post. How likely are they to be to engage in the creative thinking on how they can join an evolution towards something that creates more space at the table for everyone? Not very likely. Until your ideas can accommodate existing talent, you have a non-starter. There must be space for everyone at the table. Think about that before you start talking about killing other people's livelihoods. On another note, I'm surprised I haven't seen more about the Amazon studio system in this post.

First person to write a check for $1,000,000 and I'll lay it out for you. Funny. Even Murdoch doesn't quite know what to do about Google. And certainly Google, Apple and Amazon don't know what do to about Hollywood. Like I said. $1,000,000. Small price for the opportunity.

As part of Hollywood, please help kill us. No, really. The mechanisms for distribution are horribly ossified and mostly serve to keep small innovators (great independent filmmakers) out of the public eye. Make it easy to distribute movies and receive compensation and great filmmakers will beat a path to your door.

"Hollywood" offers something that Silicon Valley (tech) will likely never offer: story and emotion. But, it's built on a model of royalties and residuals (i.e. you collect your monies over decades) that simply can't sustain itself in the digital world. "Killing Hollywood" is more proliferation of the un-ending "battleground mentality" that was born out of the belly of Techcrunch. Everyone is always battling someone else (when, in fact, they aren't), but, heck, it makes for nice headlines (even if they are overly simplistic and let's hope PandoDaily starts to rise above this muck). The Hollywood filmed entertainment (inclusive of television) model has been under threat from different angles for nearly a decade. Lower cost of production; better crew talent at younger ages and younger prices (because they grew up shooting and editing digital content as youngsters); the WGA who remains clueless about getting more writers to work across different screens, etc. It won't be "killed" by anyone, though it may commit suicide (see: Music Industry). The best case scenario is where old school and new school thinking creates a fresh and meaningful business model that works for everyone. The concept of "Siliwood" was first floated back in the early 90's -- It would be nice to revive it again. Plus, heck, it's a nice name.

Want to kill Hollywood? Shell out $4B / year for all NFL rights. The NFL is the key to any en masse tv-to-online behavior change, in my opinion. With the NFL comes the fat part of the adoption curve, which would be a nice complement to the early-adopting subscribers of Netflix, Hulu plus, etc. There are only a handfull of companies that could afford it. Imagine if Google pulled this trigger... Perhaps they would then license the broadcast rights back to the networks while retaining all online/streaming rights. The games would be available on Youtube and via Roku, GoogleTV, et al. It would certainly force Google to push the envelope on their video advertising. Too bad the NFL rights are locked up until 2022.

I reject the Hollywood movies are "good" and what's on Youtube is "bad," dichotomy. C'mon, you studied this in college, the deconstruction of high art and low art. I'm tempted to introduce the dichotomy of Hollywood films as not authentic and Youtube having a greater claim to authenticity of what is really happening in the world, but that won't hold water either.
