> Hollywood is hanging itself by its own velvet rope.

There you go, that's one better than the alleged Lenin witticism "The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

(Well researched, as usual, here: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/02/22/rope/)

Disintermediation strikes again.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of that, but maybe it slipped into my consciousness from somewhere.

Might, might not, I was just amused at revolutionaries becoming unemployed through DIY.

Comrade Karl did not know half of it when he penned "The bourgeoisie, historically, has played a most revolutionary part."

(https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-m... - it's a good free verse poem, actually, what with the "All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned" line, among others. 'Tis pity the slaughter it drove.)
