Withnail Unloads on Hollywood
2006-May-10 by Laughcalvin
Withnail, let's have a drink and talk it over..calm down now. You sound like Danny:
"Hollywood... is on what they call a shit-tide, meaning a tide where stuff comes in and goes out very quickly. People come in, get a part in something, get in a magazine, then they go away and you never hear of them again. The sun shines, the level of paranoia is bottomless and everybody you meet has an agenda. And that's it. Showbusiness, 24 hours a day. If you're doing well, you're a target, nobody's interested in you except how you can be of use to them. And you can't engage with anyone, you can only engage with their agenda. It is all," he ended enigmatically, "very anti-sex."
Withnail, o Withnail. (mcnblogs.com)

It's just that H-wood is what it is. Umm, like the situation in India or Africa. At the end, criticism is fun and true but ineffective in the end. no? Well, not ineffective but it's a curse your darkness or light a candle kind of thing...I don't know if I believe that myself...:)

that really is a sad response. and i dont mean sad as in bad, i mean sad as in... well, sad. i guess nobody should be protesting things like the war in iraq, or if you get screwed over by your big telephone company, its just not worth it to complain. whats the point, just be happy... (isn't that what the germans did while hitler was rising to power?)

You missed the light a candle part..like Ann Frank or Buddism for starlets or yoga for the chronically obese.
