FAQ
Why are actors blacklisted?
Actors are more likely to be rejected than writers. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love to act and tell stories. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all the time.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. Some people will say that you look awful or shouldn't wear makeup. 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. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. Most times, though, they want you to sound better.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are 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. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Still, others say that actors are cheaters.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are plenty of jobs available and you'll find them.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
Which is the most secretive city in the world?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
It's called The Town That Has Disappeared here in America.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. There were no bodies, cars or houses left behind, but a road sign that pointed to the former location was all that was left.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some say the earth swallowed it up. Some claim it was destroyed by a meteorite impact. Still, others say aliens took it away.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved to a new town.
There's even a website that tracks the disappearances and recoveries of Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland.
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. Just beyond the summit of the mountain is a huge lake called Lake Zugspitze.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What makes a town disappear? How can a town disappear from existence?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory suggests that a community disappears when all of its buildings are removed. Another theory states that the town simply moves to another location. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video examines both the history and current status.
What are some dark secrets in Hollywood?
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.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. 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.
Numerous unions and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. Large corporations own most major studios and networks of television.
It doesn't really matter how secretive an organization may appear, there is always someone who knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
And because we've chosen to ignore them, they become even more powerful. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
If you don't like their words, you can choose 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.
What is the most mysterious place on earth?
Antarctica is the most mysterious continent on Earth.
We find this place so fascinating. Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. However, there's more to this location than meets the eye.
These wild animals are also found in this natural wonder.
Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica's name is a mystery. Others believe it means "land with 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 one source, one of the twins was conceived in winter. Hence, the word antarctic.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica holds a special fascination, people have always loved it.
It is also the lowest, windiest continent, driest, and highest. Because it is too frigid, there are no trees, animals, or plants.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. There are about 50% of the world's animal, plant and plant species.
What is the secret to Antarctica's unique environment? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This results in large masses of ice floating above the ground.
These glaciers cover more than 80% of the continent. They're getting bigger every year.
So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.
If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. That could cause massive flooding around the globe.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Global warming may be beneficial for some scientists. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
But others warn that this theory sounds like a plot from a science fiction movie.
