FAQ
What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full 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 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 and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, 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. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
They become more powerful because we choose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters for 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.
How does your brain control your body's functions?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. Your body's functions are controlled by your brain. It tells the stomach to digest food, and the lungs to breath air. It also tells your legs and arms to move.
Your brain is made of billions, or neurons, of nerve cells. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Each neuron is covered by a cell membrane. There are channels within the membrane that allow ions such a sodium or potassium to enter and exit the cell. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. In turn, the second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. An impulse travels along a synaptic link between the two neuron. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
The nervous system relies on neurotransmitters for communication. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
What is the most secretive location in the entire world?
This question might surprise 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.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
The residents of this once prosperous community believe that whatever happened, their town is not gone forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
So where is this town? It's in Switzerland, actually!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? What makes a place disappear?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory states that the town simply moves to another location. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
There are many theories, but the truth is that thousands of towns around the world have been submerged by the earth. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
Actors are more likely to be rejected than writers. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors are usually very talented, meaning they can make a living almost anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love acting and storytelling. If you are an actor, you will most likely 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. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. It happens all the time.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. People will tell you that you look terrible or shouldn't be wearing makeup. 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. Maybe you play a gay man, and everyone thinks you're straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Sometimes they might ask you to change how you speak. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. Most times, though, they want you to sound better.
To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. However, they aren't doing anything wrong.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. Sometimes they don't fit that bill no matter how hard or if they try.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Still, others say that actors are 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.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
