    Stop Glamorizing Certain Things

    Facebook commenter.Aspen M.:

    Stop glamorizing everything and everybody. Sometimes it's okay to just let people live. Not everyone needs their own reality TV show, or to be on the front page of a magazine.

    Celebrating Themselves

    Facebook commenter.Carla J.:

    Self-celebrating. Realize your job is “entertainment.” You are not curing cancer. You are not close to those working hard at a “non-glamorous” job to care for themselves and their families without nannies, maids, personal assistants, personal trainers, etc.

    New TV Shows Based On Movies

    Facebook commenter.Natalie A.:

    Make new TV shows based on movies or old TV shows. I am excited to seeThat '90s Show., but I am a little iffy about it too. They are also making aGoonies.TV show. I am not sure if that is a good idea.

    I would rather see new ideas that are not tired. Some movies have good ideas but are executed so poorly.Me Time.Could have been better. It seemed kinda slapped together.

    Blurring The Lines Between Fiction, Fantasy, And Fact

    Facebook commenter.Susan T.:

    Blurring the lines between fiction, fantasy, and fact. Taking stories proven false and presenting them as fact-based mysteries or documentaries trains people to be reactive and gullible. I want more programs that creatively separate facts from fiction in an entertaining way.

    Those programs support critical thinking.

    Age Gaps

    Facebook commenter.Diana W.

    Having the leading man old enough to be the leading lady’s grandfather. Also, where are the average people we can identify with? Except for Jason Mamoa, I can totally see myself with him.

    You need to realize you can make a “big looking” movie likeEverything Everywhere.without spending $100M+. Do not be greedy, be smart. Make cheaper genre films likeBarbarian.and always turn a profit!

    Harshness And Guns

    Facebook commenter.Lori R.:

    Movies and shows feature too much aggression and guns. Children watch this content, regardless of our choice. Video games also show this. We need family-made movies and shows again. This might stop school shootings. Make movies about our country's history. Show how people suffered and struggled to live.
