Thanks for the link to the Peter Riegert story. Funny, the more things change the more they don't. Hollywood is not a place, in it a convent of warlocks with an occasional witch [That rhymes with bitch—] tossed in that plays the game of mine is bigger than yours even if it is not instead of making films and television that have merit or, for that matter, sense.

Gadzooks! All they are interest in is the bottom line of a blockbuster that proves their junk is bigger than that of anyone else in the convent. And if that means letting some super star or hot director make a piece of steamy manure film or TV series that is dear to their heart in order to get the star/director to do their projected blockbuster, they do it with a smile on their lips even if mean wasting money that could make decent entertainment.

Back in the days of the Studio System, the men who ran Hollywood were unmitigated sons-a-bitches without any shred of doubt, but they wanted to make films that entertained and made a profit.

Nowadays, it is all about megaprofit from blockbusters made from sure things like old films, old TV series or whatnot that once made people watch.

Creativity and originality and even talent don't mean squat in La-La Land. That's why I gave up butting my ever so sore head against the wall out there. Here on Free Republic, I can do as I wish and make my friends and followers laugh or see the point in my zaniness.

I won't make that zillion dollars being a movie star or THE Director or even get the girl in the end, but then again, I don't have to play the game anymore. I am my own man.

Now, that a story any Man's Magazine would kill for, right? Well, I'm buying... drink up, we got beat the dawn and its gaining on us!
