I have written in many posts that Hollywood is one of the worst things that could happen to a society. Here is the view of a Hollywood insider for Variety:
Longtime Hollywood publicist Julian Myers will turn 90 soon. And he worries the end may be near … for Hollywood.
Myers frets that the WGA stalemate — with all of its acrimony, vitriol and job losses — is a harbinger of ill things for the industry.
“The strike impasse is speeding the end of Hollywood filmmaking and television production,” says Myers, who has been working in the biz since 1939 and is still an IATSE member. “There are more union contracts coming up for renewal, and already unionists are crossing union lines. IATSE is urging its members to go right on through. Insults are being exchanged, faces will be bashed and fatalities are a possibility.”
Julian, please don’t worry about it. America will survive and become a much better country without it. Getting rid of Hollywood would truly be a blessing of great magnitude.
