LOLlywood
Derived from combining LOL with Hollywood to denote the stupidity of media conglomerate movie making business tactics and the active, conscious dumbing down of filmmaking and audiences. Essentially, putting spectacle over filmcraft and media ethic. Anything the "big 6" in control of Hollywood does, most of it being stupid.
History: coined by movie director Jessica Mae Stover on her blog about filmmaking and "@JSto" Twitter feed.
Stover also uses synonyms: LOLmovie, LOLfilmmaking to denote similar infractions and absurdities
