Big Hollywood : Gender Inequality Reigns Supreme in Hollywood

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:31:03 +0000

I worked as a freelance writer (not scriptwriter, I wrote for scifi entertainment magazines) in the mid 90's in Burbank. Just look at the screenwriters guild for the stats, or visit the next strike. Scriptwriting isn't 'creating' for the most part in Hollywood, it's just translating ideas to a script and even then, it's not translating your own ideas to a script. Not only does it suck, you get pi$$ed on by the studio, producers, directors and just about everyone but the gaffers. If you can't get SAG to stand with you when you strike, the studio will just laugh at you and hire a new batch of writers out of UCLA. Writing in a Hollywood Studio is like being a peasant in Dark Ages during the Black Death. The only benefit is if you can survive long enough you can get on with a good Director/Producer who MIGHt look at your script, the one you've been trying to sell for two decades (yours will be on the top of his five hundred scripts given by other writers in the same situation). But don't even bother if you didn't go to UCLA film school. Being a writer in the modern market is hard enough. Being a scriptwriter in Hollywood ... that's pure hell.

I'm new to this whole PC thing, and unlike Kelly, I only have Lesbian friends, not LGBTBLTTUNAMELT, but isn't 'tranny fag' redundant?

I bet those two words work wonders for your wife when you want snuggle time too. :P

Lets just say that screenwriters ought to be required to write. Period.

This isn't true, actually - it's not the perfect example of capitalism in action because it constantly does things to hurt its bottom line. Hollywood would rather kiss each other's asses than middle america's - and they do, often. If it was about the bottom line, every movie would be rated G. You are lying to yourself if you think Hollywood is in it for the money, or that female leads don't sell, or that only hot chicks sell. Lion King had no hot chicks and it's still making money decades later.

You don't think of them as beauty queens, but with the exception of Kathy Bates, they all started as beauty queens. Even the actresses playing older women were once the perfect Hollywood stereotypical actress.

Well, according to OWS, they support the police... the same police they are making weapons to resist. Conservatives have an idea/goal and they fight to defend it, and rarely fight to 'defend themselves.' Most 'legitimate' violence is not just in self defense, but in defense of someone else (family). OWS is a bunch of bipolar narcissists with anarchist tendencies.

Why "makeshift" weapons? Why bother? Just call the Tea Party to come and protect you, otherwise, you don't advocate violence, or using force, remember?

Because America isn't sick enough of you already. OWS and the Zetas in Mexico must have the same PR strategy.

in Texas he didn't ever debate his opponent. Perry is not used to competition at all.

Avoiding debates in Texas in the races for governor has cost him his chance to be president. Maybe he'll stop avoiding them and learn how to do it before he goes national again -but I kinda doubt it.

How is it you know the 'pattern'? And how can you find a pattern at all in ONE weekend at ONE conference in ONE year this is all supposed to have happened? Wouldn't a pattern include more than one weekend at a conference? This is all in one weekend!

I don't think any man, let alone a 'serial harasser,' could harass 5 women in one weekend at one convention and still make all his other appointments on time. When the hell did he have time to eat??

Actually, it looks like it only worked one weekend. Does a serial sexual harasser only try it one weekend at a conference with 5 women - I don't think he could have fit them all into his schedule.

And how is it Herman Cain only harassed women all in ONE weekend at ONE conference? Does that make sense? Does a womanizer/serial harasser only try it once at a convention?

I want to know why Herman Cain's libido only worked one year and then, obviously in overdrive.

handling it like an amateur is WHY PEOPLE LIKE HIM! We don't want an INSIDER!!! That's why he's in the lead despite the allegations. If you want a politician, just vote for Romney or Perry. But don't ask for change - because you won't get any (and I heard the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results. Insane much?).
