I think the movie “SOAP” with Sally Fields exposes the entertainment industry for what it really is, a money making machine, and it does not matter how they do it or whose lives are destroyed in the process.

If Hollywood had a moral compass it would always point towards the dollar sign. If you make money then your character nor your action (no matter how depraved) matter, you are a “star” and you will be protected, until you are used up and spit out.

I am not sure if individuals are really PROGRESSIVE, without any facts to my opinion, I think that many individuals play at being PROGRESSIVE while really don’t care or perhaps be a little conservative. This would explain how they can create their own large carbon footprint while reading the script about saving the planet. It is just another role for them.

If Hollywood decides being conservative is more financially rewarding then all of Hollywood would get the new script and everyone will be on the same page.

Why is Hollywood playing at being progressive (and anti-American), simple, the United States is not their main (or only) market for their product. It may be hard to believe that there are places that hate the US and Americans. Unfortunately those places combined offer more financial rewards then the US does.

This also explains why so many “action movies”. Action movies require less dialog and translates better over seas.

So there is no point at expending any energy hating on Hollywood, the best course of action is indifference.

(Opinion off the top of my head with no research or thought, so as always I could be wrong)

I think you meant Soapdhish, which came out in 1991.

Blake Edward's S.O.B. from 1981, is another one that really skewers Hollywood.

Only Clint Eastwood has the guts to make those kind of movies anymore.
