FAQ
What is one of the most amazing facts about the human body
Two eyes, two ears, 2 nostrils, 4 limbs, 1 nose, 1 penis and one mouth are all there. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
A heart is the pump that circulates blood throughout a body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent to a person drinking 2-3 cups coffee daily.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
Skin color can be used to determine if someone has a medical condition. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. The skin becomes blue-colored or purple when blood flow is restricted.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Their blood becomes sticky and hardens, causing them to become very ill.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps the patient occupied until the clot is broken down naturally.
What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. These include companies like the MPAA ("Motion Picture Association of America"), which determines film ratings. The RIAA ("Recording Industry Association of America") sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Large corporations own most major studios and networks of television.
It doesn't really matter how secretive an organization may appear, there is always someone who knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
You can see why they are so vital.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. An actor will probably be rejected quite often. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love to act and tell stories. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.
Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. It happens all the times.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. People may tell you that your makeup looks terrible and you shouldn't use it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes your character isn't real or authentic and you will be criticised. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Sometimes they might ask you to change how you speak. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. However, they aren't doing anything wrong.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. They don't always fit the bill, no matter how hard they try.
An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think that actors are lazy. Others think actors are lazy.
It doesn't matter what reason it may be, you won’t be banned if you keep trying. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But the list isn't made public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. This is why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. That would result in a reduction in spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. They would then go bankrupt.
This could mean more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Directors might threaten to leave projects that don't reflect their vision.
This is the reason there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
