Hollywood…Enough Awards Already!
It has always amazed me that the film industry in this country never fails to keep all its scheduled ‘red carpet’ events of which accolades are showered onto the studios, the actors, the producers/directors. OMG. Enough already! Maybe if they reduced the number of award shows to one or two, they could then use all the money spent on all the other award shows they throw within any given year on reducing the cost of the viewing experience – after all, it is us – joe q. public whose hard earned dollars are spent to be entertained even for a brief time and it is these hard earned dollars that pay the $20 million dollar salaries of the leading man & woman of each motion picture.
Seems funny that cheaper factory workers are found overseas – which has put many, many people out of work in this country yet we feed a tiny industry with almost all the fruits of our labors. I feel we should demand more in return for this business model we support.
And as for the charitable exploits of this same industry – how about shoring up the needs all around your base station of operations. No need to find some poor third world enclave to enhance your giving generosity. No, just take a drive there around Los Angeles or New York City or Chicago and I promise there are plenty of deserving organizations that could use an influx of money to accommodate more services for those less fortunate.
Lastly this is for the studios, how about backing the production of films that don’t involve police, or DNA detectives or lawyers or judges. We already have a television chocked full of all that crap. The motion pictures should be entertainment – provide an escape from day-to-day. If there are so many people who are requesting these sorts of films then I guess it’s time for a film revolution in this country. Maybe an all out boycott of the motion picture industry is in order. Damn we could use Facebook & Twitter. Oh Damn.
