FAQ
What are some dark secrets in Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. There are secret societies that are more cult-like than others. They have members who follow specific rules and rituals. While some are clubs for those with similar interests, others are not.
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 or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. They shouldn't be fearful, however.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
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.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
What is the most mysterious place on earth?
Antarctica is the most mysterious continent on Earth.
Why do we find this place so intriguing? Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. This site has more to it than meets your eye.
This natural wonder is also home to some of the strangest wildlife species.
Let's look at how this extraordinary destination became so mysterious.
Antarctica, The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it refers to "land of ice". Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
In ancient Greece, Antarktis was the name given to the island where Zeus' twin brothers were born. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has held a special fascination for people, it is undeniable.
It is also the lowest, windiest continent, driest, and highest. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
Yet, life is abundant in this frozen wilderness.
Here are about 90% of all the living creatures on Earth. There are about 50% of the world's animal, plant and plant species.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This results in large masses of ice floating above the ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. And they're growing larger every year.
The Antarctic ice has grown 60 feet so far since 1960.
If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. That could cause massive flooding around the globe.
This does not mean that everyone is wrong. Some scientists suggest that global warming could actually be good for us. They believe that global warming will lead to melting ice sheets faster and floods that can flush toxic chemicals out of our soils and bodies.
However, others caution that this theory sounds a lot like a plot in a science fiction movie.
What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. Blood travels through the arteries and veins, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste products.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. While sleeping, your heart beats close to 100 times per minute.
Because of the color and texture of their skin, you can tell if someone is healthy or sick. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels visible on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
Red blood cells are missing in people with sickle-cell disease. Their blood becomes extremely sticky and hardened, which can lead to very serious illnesses.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. The wound must remain open for blood to flow properly. Doctors insert a needle into the injured area through the skin. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This keeps patients alive until the clot has broken up naturally.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
As an actor, rejection is much more common than for writers. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. However, most actors aren't interested in making money. Actors love acting and storytelling. 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. You might also lose your audition for a film role. It happens all too often.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to face 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 it's because you play a character that's not realistic or authentic. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes they ask for you to sound like a male or female. Most times, though, they want you to sound better.
These criticisms should be ignored. 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 just weren't born with the talent that made them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Still, others say that actors are cheaters.
Whatever the reason, it's important to realize that you will not get blacklisted if you keep trying. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.
You will eventually succeed if you keep trying.

Hollywood scandals that shocked all of the world
It's shocking to see someone make a name for themselves. There's nothing more shocking than watching someone fall from grace.
It is amazing to see how an industry handles its mistakes. Many celebrities have used alcohol and drugs in excess. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. He overdosed on prescription pills, and after a brief battle with death, he passed away.
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. His performances in Brokeback Mountain earned Heath two Academy Award nominations.
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 grew too large for his boots. He began using drugs and drinking heavily. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
Now that he was sober, it was time to make amends. So he made a documentary called "Room 237," which chronicled the making of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath attempted to get into Hollywood every time. In fact, Heath was twice arrested on drug charges.
While we aren't saying Heath shouldn't have been allowed back in the show business, However, it would be nice if he could get some help before things spiral out of control.
We hope Heath's story will serve as a warning to others who may think they can still have everything.
