FAQ
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full 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.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that 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 matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they can help us make better decisions.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
And see why they're so important.
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. As an actor, it's likely that you will be rejected a lot. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. They love acting, and they love telling stories. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. It happens all too often.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. People will tell you that you look terrible or shouldn't be wearing makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes your character isn't real or authentic and you will be criticised. Perhaps you're a gay man who everyone believes is straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. They want you to sound better most of the time.
To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. They don't always fit the bill, no matter how hard they try.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
Whatever the reason, it's important to realize that you will not get blacklisted if you keep trying. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
According to the United Nations there are more than 25 billion tons of garbage produced each year.
Most of this rubbish ends up in landfills or incinerators. But, what happens when those dumpsters fill up? All that trash ends up being shipped out of country. The trash is then sent out of the country and dumped in countries where it pollutes ecosystems. But, one man has now discovered exactly where this rubbish goes. Mike Sexton is his real name. He runs Waste Watchers, a company that monitors the movements of trucks carrying trash all across North America. He then gives us a report on what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN asked Sexton if he thought it was a lot of fun. "We see these big trucks coming through town, so we'll keep following them. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
He stated, "I just fell in Love with It."
Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. "The guy was looking for someplace to put his load," Sexton recalled. "He drove down the road to see this building. So he backed up and went inside. "There were two huge roll-off containers there filled with stuff. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. He then looked around and decided to load everything. There were a bunch of old tires, rags, furniture, mattresses, boxes, bottles, cans, and whatever else. It was a complete mess. But it was cleaned out before he came. There wasn't any trash."
So why did this happen? It's because this area used to be a recycle center. People would drive from all over the country to recycle their trash. Sexton said that people would bring their household items to the building and then leave empty containers behind.
It can happen hundreds of thousands of times per week. The truck can be stopped running if it is so full of junk that it has to come back hundreds of times per week. The truck eventually stops running and the owner decides that it is time to get rid of the vehicle.
However, trash is not the only problem on our planet.
Plastic pieces make up most of these particles. Others end up in rivers, oceans or the stomachss of fish.
Experts warn of a possible global food crisis if nothing is done. Experts warn that "if we keep going the way we are, we're not going make it," although scientists agree that the world is heading toward disaster. Most people, however, don't seem to be concerned.
What is the most secretive location in the entire world?
The answer to that question may shock you. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
It is known as The Town That Disappeared in America.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Some claim that it was destroyed by a meteorite strike. Others still believe it was stolen away by aliens.
The residents of this once prosperous community believe that whatever happened, their town is not gone forever. They had just moved to another town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
The question is, where did this place go? It's in Switzerland.
Zugspitze is situated on the border between Germany und Austria. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? How does one place go extinct?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory suggests that a community disappears when all of its buildings are removed. Another theory says that the town just moves. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video examines both the history and current status.
