FAQ
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
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.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts 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 or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Large corporations own most major studios and networks of television.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, we should embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
You'll see why they are so important.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
Actors are more likely to be rejected than writers. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors are usually very talented, meaning they can make a living almost anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love acting and storytelling. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
You might even go to auditions where you're told that you're too old, too young, or not right for the role. You may also be rejected from a movie audition. It happens all the times.
But once you've been cast, you may also face 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 you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. Perhaps you're a gay man who everyone believes is straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.
Sometimes they might ask you to change how you speak. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They will usually ask you to sound better.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. But they're not guilty of anything.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
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.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist.
There is an Hollywood blacklist.
However, the list isn’t public. We don't know the names. But, here's why it matters.
The reason behind the secrecy was that blacklisted directors and actors wouldn't be able find work. Thus, they would leave the industry and studios will lose money. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.
This could result in even 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. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
Producers often pressure directors to cut scenes from their films. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. And that's not good for anyone.
Many people have been wrongly accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
What is your most secretive community?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This tiny community disappeared without leaving any clues as to where it went or when. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Some claim that it was destroyed by a meteorite strike. Others still believe it was stolen away by aliens.
Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
You might be wondering where this town went. It's in Switzerland, actually!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I decided to investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? How does one place go extinct?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video explores the history of these towns and examines their current state.
