FAQ

Is there a Hollywood blacklist of actors?

There is a Hollywood blacklist.

However, the list isn’t public. The names are not known to us. Here's why this matters.

The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. They would then go bankrupt.

This could eventually lead to more victims.

In short, when someone tries to make an oscar winning movie, they might be asked to sign a contract saying they won't speak publicly against their employers. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.

It's no surprise that directors are often forced to take out scenes in their films by producers. Directors might threaten to leave projects that don't reflect their vision.

This is why Hollywood has created a blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. That's bad for everyone.

Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.

This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.

Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.


How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?

The brain relays messages to other parts of the body to ensure their functionality. Everything that happens within your body is controlled by the brain. It tells your stomach how to digest food and your lungs how to inhale oxygen; it also tells your arms, legs and feet to move.

Your brain consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. The membrane contains channels that allow ions like sodium and potassium to enter the cell and leave it. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.

Neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that release neurotransmitters when a neuron fires up, can be found in the space between the neurons and the next one. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. As a result, second neuron fires as well.

Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds at the receptors of the post-synaptic Neuron and triggers its firing.

Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.


What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?

Hollywood is filled secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.

Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.

Numerous unions, guilds, and associations represent actors, writers, producers, editors, and other creative professionals. These large corporations control the majority of major film studios and television networks.

It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.

Instead, embrace them. Because they help us make better choices.

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.

Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.

Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.

If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.

Let's take a closer look at some of the less-known, yet still very real Hollywood secret clubs.

You can see why they are so vital.
