TylerCasals (OP) User ID: 2541079 United States 10/27/2014 10:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So where do aspiring scriptwriters send their material? I have a young relative who wrote two screenplays, had them copyrighted, sent them to someone in Hollyweird, and never heard back. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41104530 Any advice for my relative? And seriously, how do crap shows like Honey Boo Boo, Duck Dynasty, etc., etc., get on the tube? They are intellectual insults and yet they have high ratings. Can you explain? Hollywood thinks that all the stories have been told. Your story is less important than the mechanism of the story. What I mean is a typical boy meets girl, falls in love, overcomes obstacles and happy ending is the story but that won't get it sold. You have to place that story in a unique place to make it interesting to Hollywood. Hope that makes sense. The Honey Boo Boo type shows are just cheap to make and play on people's sense of perversion and ego. Remember, most Americans can't name the 50 states or tell you who their senator is. My advice is fund the movie using crowd sourcing. If it's good it can be Made. Then get distribution on Netflix and the other streaming services. You don't have much of a shot in Hollywood. You will make more money doing it yourself. Don't get me wrong, hire pros like directors, producers and the like but Hollywood has literally thousands of insiders trying to get movies made. You're an outsider and that's not a good place to be. I reserve the right to be ridiculous |

TylerCasals (OP) User ID: 2541079 United States 10/27/2014 10:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've worked in the entertainment industry. A lot of celebrities are nothing like they appear in films/tv. Men are shorter, balding, more unattractive. Women are far less attractive as well. Lighting and good make up go a long way into making them far more attractive than they really are. Also, some of the married Hollywood actors, directors, producers are horn dogs who will hit anything with a pulse and orifice. They just play "happily" married. I was young and cute and got hit on a lot. But then again, that happened at every job I ever held. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64594074 This is so true!!!!!!!!! I reserve the right to be ridiculous |

TylerCasals (OP) User ID: 2541079 United States 10/27/2014 11:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So, it has been reported several times in various sites. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 379904 CIA and Military uses civilian covers in News agencies to control media coverage of certain events. Do you know who the "Agent" is in your organization? . This doesn't happen at the local level. It also rarely happens at the networks. That control comes from upper management who speaks frequently with political powerbrokers. However, the cable networks are filled with operatives. An important takeaway for this is that you can essentially trust your local station. The are too green and just trying to get their story done. You can also trust abc, cbs, and nbc to give you the truth with their stories. For the networks credibility is key. They will simply not do a story if they have to lie. you lost me at "you can trust abc, cbs, & nbc". I just mean they aren't going to lie and get caught. They would just kill the story or not cover it. So you can trust that the limited things hey are telling you are generally true. Which is more than I can say for the cable nets.

Questions. User ID: 64243925 United States 10/27/2014 11:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is the News Media largely being censored by the Federal government or other powers-that-be? Specifically, how often these days do stories end up unable to be reported due to censorship from on high? What stories end up this way? I was shocked to hear a number of experiences a friend of mine had with Occupy Wall Street that never made it on any media whatsoever . . . specifically protests that were quelled by international military in Chicago, as well as in St. Louis, etc. Is there corporate/power influence in this? |
FHLC nli User ID: 30710424 China 10/27/2014 11:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | why are so many actors and acttresses Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57547515 jewish. they are all fugly and should not be shown on any screen. l I can honestly say Jews run Hollywood. The power is nearly absolute. They prefer to promote fellow tribe members to positions of power. It's not such a bad idea when you think about it. Many many stars are Jewish but have changed their names. Many more people behind the scenes are Jewish as well. Ironically, I prefer Jews to Muslims. For better or worse Jews have helped define western society and i prefer that to a backwards Islamic society. What's really interesting is that the Muslims have now figured out how to use political correctness like gays and Jews to insulate themselves from any criticism. But this will be war because the Jews cannot have this. This will be the best underground war ever! Just watch for more and more pro Muslim films funded by sheiks. So you are saying this explains the academy? Yes in a way. Right now there is more moviemaking going on in Vancouver, Atlanta and New Orleans than in Hollywood or la. The power is shifting because production costs are being cut and distribution channels are opening up. Content is king and the Jews in Hollywood know this. thank you for sharing your insights, most appreciated. |

Most of it is egomaniacs acting like gods. These people can't have the masses see them as they really are....spoiled adults acting like spoiled kids. Plus the competition is fierce and it's necessary to try to keep things low key. There are targeted individuals in Hollywood but it's more like and unspoken blacklist. Do people get killed? Yes. Is some of is shady? You bet. I have never seen any military or advanced weaponry utilized though except in The brietbart murder. That was certainly a covert op.

It's not the reporters but their managers. The manager get their orders from the EPs who get their order from higher up. The upper people are in bed with powerbrokers. Something of a contradiction there, no? You concede its controlled and powerbrokers determine the output, which is exactly why people disparage mainstream media. I was just being honest and it is a contradiction. The Feds pay more attention to what people are saying on Facebook than the stories that are covered on your local news. At the national level there is certainly an attempt to control the message for political reasons. On the local level it's not a serious threat because the stations don't go to deep and if they do no one cares. I reserve the right to be ridiculous |
