FAQ
What dark secrets do Hollywood have?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. These include companies such as the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), which sets film ratings, and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which sets music licensing fees.
Many unions and guilds represent actors, directors writers, producers, and others. 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. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
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 become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
Observe why they are important.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. Actors are likely to be rejected often. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors love acting, and love telling stories. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Or you might audition for a movie and lose out to another person. This happens all the time.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to face criticism. You may be told that your makeup is too heavy or you are not worthy of wearing 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 could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
Maybe you are asked to change your vocal chords. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. They want you to sound better most of the time.
To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Others still believe that actors cheat.
Whatever the reason, it's important to realize that you will not get blacklisted if you keep trying. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Everything in your body is controlled and managed by your brain. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. The electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by ion movement.
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 release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synapse connecting the two neurons. The transmitter binds with the receptors of the postsynaptic nerve, activating the firing of the postsynaptic neurons.
Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They also coordinate activity between different brain parts.
