FAQ
What is the most secretive town in the world?
The answer may shock you. It might even make you uncomfortable because it challenges our perception of reality and how we live. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
However, in America it is called The Town that Disappeared.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
This little town disappeared, leaving no clues about where it went or when. Some believe the earth swallowed them up. Others say it was destroyed in a meteorite collision. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost 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 actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated me that so many towns have disappeared, yet some still remain. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. 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 examines the past and present status of these areas.
Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
But, the list has not been made public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. It matters because of this.
The secret is because the directors and actors on blacklist wouldn't have any job opportunities. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. This would mean that they would cut back on movie production. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. This would make them bankrupt.
This could mean more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. And they've had to fight to clear their name.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. It is essential that everyone has the freedom to express their opinions.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.
What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. 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 or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
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 help us make better choices.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
You'll see why they are so important.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. 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 often very talented and can make a living anywhere. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors love to act and tell stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
You might even go to auditions where you're told that you're too old, too young, or not right for the role. You might also lose your audition for a film role. It happens all too often.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. 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. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. They want you to sound better most of the time.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. The truth is they haven’t done 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.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
You'll succeed as long as you keep trying.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
It's amazing to see how the industry responds to their mistakes. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
It's worse when stars make public their problems, and then are ignored by everyone. Last week, that's exactly where we were.
After a long and successful career, Heath Ledger finally succumbed to his demons. He took too many prescription pills and died shortly after.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once thought to be one the greatest actors of all time. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath not only acted, but also wrote and directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball. Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
He was now sober and wanted to make amends. He then made "Room 237," a documentary that chronicled The Shining's making. It was supposed that it would be released this year but it won't make its debut in theaters until next.
Every time Heath tried to get back into Hollywood, something happened. Heath was in fact arrested twice on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
