[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7638811, member: 1"] Ah, I've figured it out! The way your proclamation that "Hollywood doesn't really do new movies" works in your head is that Hollywood = Disney's 4-5 blockbusters each year, and all of the [I]other[/I] 500 movies each year are not by Disney and therefore aren't Hollywood. Ergo, Hollywood doesn't do new movies any more. The [I]No True Scotsman[/I] fallacy needs to be renamed, because, man, you not only exemplify it, you epitomize it! :) The conversation is basically thus: Z: Hollywood doesn't really do new movies. Everyone: Yes they do. Look, here's 500 new movies. Z: Yeah but Hollywood doesn't do new movies which are blockbusters any more. Everyone: Errr.... what? Z: Look at these 5 blockbuster movies Disney did this year. Everyone: Yes, but look at these other 500 new movies which came out this year. Z: Yeah but Hollywood doesn't do new movies which are blockbusters any more. .... and repeat. [ATTACH=CONFIG]107662._xfImport[/ATTACH] I mean, c'mon. You have to own your original statement and stop moving the goalposts. You said "Hollywood doesn't really do new movies" [literally; exact words]. In 2016 Hollywood released over 700 movies. Your claim is demonstrably false. Instead of trying to cloud the issue by moving the goalposts, why not just admit you were wrong? [/QUOTE]
