Hollywood is Broken: Hooray!

  • An Anthology of Professional Woes video made the rounds recently, lamenting the fact that many Hollywood professionals have been out of work for so long that they are now at the end of their collective ropes. They seem to be asking for some kind of assistance… presumably from the half of the country that they have mocked, denigrated, laughed at and insulted for the last two generations. It’s kind of hard to feel sympathy for people who knowingly - usually GLEEFULLY - chased half of their audience (and paychecks) away.

      Star Wars is a perfect example of how badly they read the situation. They thought there were enough wokeys to replace generations of (mostly) boys and men who bought tickets, VHS tapes, DVDs, BluRays and mountains of toys - and didn't realize wokeys not only didn't have the numbers, but didn't have the cash to replace the income stream that original Star Wars had been.

      Bill’s story about Hollywood film execs reminds me of a story Harlan Ellison relates in his book “An Edge in My Voice”. He was pitching ideas for a Star Trek script to some of these execs and others who were hired to work on the film, and the scenic designer asked Ellison if he could work in some Aztecs into the film. Ellison explained that the Enterprise was visiting an alien world in a remote galaxy, but the scenic designer was unfazed. “Why can’t you put some Aztecs into the script? I really like Aztecs.” Ellison stood up, said, “I’m a writer; I don’t know what the @&#* you are”, and walked out of the room.

    A good number of the people who gravitate to Hollywood have that Lottery Player's mentality. They don't go there with the idea of being a clipboard holder on a set, or arranging costumes in the dressing room; they all think that they're gonna hit it big. And when that doesn't happen for 99.99999% of them, the reality of moving from job to job, living paycheck to paycheck on a gig that might be cancelled tomorrow can be soul crushing. And for those Social Justice Warriors who went into the business with an ideological agenda thinking that they were going to remake the universe in their sick and confused images, the frustration and rejection are multiplied ten-fold.

Fun facts: In the original GERMAN tale, by The Brothers Grimm, Snow White is described as having: "SKIN AS WHITE AS SNOW". This is why she is named Snow White. "Off White and the Seven Diversity Hires"? They totally changed the story but didn't have the guts to not use the same name. SMH.. Looks more like "Yellow Snow and the Pirates of the Caribbean".

    In human history, Hollywood, where entertainment is made by few people controlling big money, is an anomaly. Musicians playing at the tavern or performers putting on a pageant were local folks. There were probably more performers per capita in medieval times than in our day. The internet has given such regular people an opportunity to find an audience regardless of physical distance.

    I was an avid moviegoer and would stay up late at night if one of my favorites, like Stalag 17, aired. Now, I have a hard time even holding my attention to a movie. For example, I went back to Hulu for Shogun. I got through the first three and a half of episode 4, and I loved the one made in the 1980s. Heck, I read the book not once but 6 times. Right now, I am watching We Are the Lucky One; my guess is that it's going to bore me, too. Now on the other hand, there is this "What We Saw" on the Daily Wire, I took the Daily Wire for "Empire of Terror," it's holding my attention, but dropping one a week is driving me a bit nuts. I want to binge-watch. I don't care a wit about Hollywood.

    Totally agree with your union atmosphere experience. About 55 years ago I had graduated from college and was immediately drafted. Because of a residency change to another state I got the draft notice recinded and address changed to delay my enlistment until the following late Winter. During those months I worked a nonunion job for a testing company at a huge construction site of a large production building. All union of course of many trades unions. My first exposure to unionism. There were many grievance skirmishes and walkouts during those months. One sticks in my mind, an electrician's job assignment was to install a breaker box in the huge basement level on a poured concrete wall. The guy ran the conduit to the wall area and where the box was by blueprint to be mounted, there was a laborer's shovel leaning against the wall no laborer in sight. He simply moved the shovel 3 feet to his right and began drilling and mounting the box on the concrete wall. The laborer came looking for his shovel and somehow knew the electrician had moved it without calling for him to move it, complained to his job steward and a massive walkout occurred. And at least partly why America is such a shitshow in our current plane of existence. A bunch of uncooperative spoiled power hungry union brats.
