FAQ

What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?

Hollywood is full of 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.

Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. 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. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.

The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. But we don't have to fear them.

Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.

They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be 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.

Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters for 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.

And see why they're so important.

Is there an Hollywood blacklist?

There is a Hollywood blacklist.

The list is not made public. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. Here's why this matters.

The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.

This could eventually lead to 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. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.

You hear stories of directors being pressured to remove scenes from films. Or directors threaten to walk out of projects that don’t match their vision.

This is the reason there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. That's bad for everyone.

The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. These people have had to fight to clear their names.

This must be stopped before it happens again. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.

We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.

What is the most mysterious place on earth?

Antarctica is home to the most mysterious and remote place on Earth.

What is it that makes this place so interesting? Because it is unlike any place on Earth.

It is remote and difficult to reach. This site has more to it than meets your eye.

You'll also find the strangest species of wildlife in this natural wonder.

Let's look at how this extraordinary destination became so mysterious.

Antarctica: The South Pole

Antarctica is named for no one. Others believe it means "land with ice". Others believe it derives from Greek mythology.

Antarktis in ancient Greece was the name given the island where Zeus' twin brother brothers were born. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.

Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would mean that the land was turned away by the sun.

Whatever the reason Antarctica holds a special fascination, people have always loved it.

It is the highest, coldest, windiest, dryest, and most populated continent. It is too cold for trees, plants and animals.

Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.

It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.

And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here, water freezes and becomes ice instead of evaporated into the air.

This creates large masses of ice that float above the ground.

These floating glaciers cover over 80%. These glaciers are getting larger each year.

So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.

If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. This could lead to widespread flooding.

Not everyone believes this is bad news. Some scientists believe that global warming can be beneficial. According to scientists, global warming could be good for us because the melting of the ice sheets will accelerate, which can lead to floods that release toxic chemicals into our soil and bodies.

Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.

What is the reason actors are blacklisted?

An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. An actor will probably be rejected quite often. 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 to act and tell stories. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to 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. That happens a lot.

After you've been cast, there may be 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. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.

Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They will usually ask you to sound better.

To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. 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 don't always fit the bill, no matter how hard they try.

There are lots of reasons why an actor could get blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.

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.

As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
