I have a friend from college that is big into the movies...does production stuff and dabbles in scripts, etc. You can't get into the business easily because it is highly controlled, close nit, and full of blackmail, deceit, evil, etc. He says a movie about behind the scenes stuff would end up with him being dead but and awesome movie that no one could fathom except maybe me. The stuff the actors, actresses, etc. do to make it big is nasty and obscene. They sell themselves into some bad bad stuff.

His saying is "Movies ARE the message"...

Most movies are run through a gov't agency for review. I think it's the same WW2 agency with a new name and a friendly smile. Many are scripts written by the gov't and distributed and they are told they will be made.

They are a great way to condition you and alter your reality, just like the MSM is a joke.

At least in Russia and in China they know the news, movies, papers, etc are all gov't run propaganda....here the JSAs are too stoopid to see it.

Yes, we all know that movies like Soapdish and Tootsie left trails of blood behind them. The truth is that -- except for most of the actors -- people in Hollywood would put together anything that would make a buck. Tell your friend to put up or shut up.
