HOLLYWOOD BABBLE ON

.
MY, HOW THE MOVING PICTURES HAVE CHANGED!

THEY SUCK. BUT TV IS EVEN WORSE. ESPECIALLY THE NEWS

And It Ain't Just Me! It's Other Old Farts, Too!

Hollywood back in the day was run by nice (and not so nice) Jewish boys trying to entertain and assimilate with nice (and not so nice) goys, basically by selling them what they already believed about themselves. It worked out pretty well: The Hollywoodniks got rich, got assimilated, and the hix in the stix didn't nix their pix, they got entertained and enlightened as to American values by commie writers and directors. Working together, they all beat the Depression, the Nazi's and the Nips, and everyone lived happily ever after. A real Hollywood ending.

Then along came McCarthy and Nixon and Reagan and the Bushies. They wanted to redefine America in a most unAmerican way. Rather than entertain and enlighten, assimilate and reconcile, they used the media to sow anger and hatred, fear and envy, paranoia and prejudice. It worked pretty well, for them. Not so much for us. We're only just coming out of that long nightmare, and it's hard to shake it off.

People are waking up, though. They really don't like the residual odors left behind by the Right. They're tired of hearing the same old sh*t recycled endlessly in the formerly mainstream corporate media. They're tuning it out in droves. The new medium is the Internet, but its' potential has hardly been tapped.

We should be using the Web to reach out to everybody, to talk to each other across all borders and boundaries as if we were face to face, instead of displaying our wonky prowess, our awesomely arcane acid wit, and our desperate desire to shock and titillate. So far, there's no Harry Cohn or Louis B. Mayer of the 'Net. Let's hope there never is. But let's hope there's no Joseph Goebbels or Rupert Murdoch, either.

Hollywood was the invention of a few individuals; outsiders, most of them, looking to get in. Print and television news have been taken over by soulless corporations controlled by people who are already in, trying to shut the rest of us out. The struggle between those controlling, and killing the "MSM," and the wee little bloggers would make a great movie, if people made great movies any more.

Hildy, get me re-write!

DIGBY'S "HULLABALOO"
"Reflections On The Summer of Shark"
What I learned in the dark.

' It strikes me as a bit odd that the infotainment complex is hitting the fear button so hard right now. I was always told that during the depression Hollywood made a lot of fantasy and upbeat comedy because people wanted an escape. I'm not sure that isn't true now. I don't watch a whole lot of TV for relaxation, but when I do I certainly don't want to watch something that's going to make me feel more fear and anxiety than I already do. But the humiliation rituals on reality TV and the violence in the movies right now are just mind-boggling --- I watched a Mamet flick the other night that just about made me sick. I don't know about you, but I feel as if our society is in a sour, sour place right now --- and justifiably so. It doesn't seem like pumping up the anxiety and fear can be good for people who are already stressed out beyond belief. '

MEGAN FOX NAKED?

THIS WEEK. SO FAR.



WHOM SHALL WE ADORE NEXT WEEK, O MEDIA?

"Megan Fox - GQ Magazine Bikini Photoshoot - October 2008"


The Star-Maker Machinery Cranks Out Another Victim

We can't say we actually know who most of these "stars" are, and we don't want to know. If any of them every makes a record or a movie that's worth a damn, good on them. In the meantime, if they're not coming over to our house to prance around nekkid and perform the usual grotesque erotic services required of all who enter here, then they really don't even exist.

There are six billion people weighing down this planet, and most of them don't exist, as far as we're concerned. Yeah, we know they're out there. They're always jamming up the freeway and running ahead of us to sneak an eleventh item onto the conveyor belt at the express register in the store, or buying up the last tickets when we're next on line for something. They suck. But they're only briefly in our lives, and usually unpleasantly. We don't want to know them.

While we have known a few "celebrities," people who are famous for being famous, or for doing actual stuff, good or bad, important or trivial, we generally avoid their ilk. Their ilk are not our ilk. So we do get sick of being bombarded with their images, their voices, their deeds and misdeeds, and how they "feel" about it all. Who cares?

Evidently, billions of people do care. Celebrity is a growth industry, like cancer; and, much like cancer, it seems to be recession-proof. Every day there are new images of people we don't know being shoved in our faces for no reason. The only escape is to hide indoors and unplug everything. But then we can hear the neighbors' noise, which consists largely of celebrity rhubarb. Apparently, burning down their house is some sort of fire code violation, and may involve fines. Whatever.

The only consolation lies in knowing that nearly everyone the media estrellifies will be dwarfed and/ or nova'ed in a relatively short time. Just look at Christ. Great PR, no security. Or Hannibal. Elephants! Great schtick, bubbie: But is it sustainable? No. Paris Hilton? Next question.

At least Megan Fox is easy to look at. Who knows how much of that is artificial. In another year or two, probably all of her will be a plastic surgeon's work, and not Gawd's. The kids grow up so quickly, these days. One minute they're undergoing their first rhinoplasty, and the next minute they're on their third face-lift. That's life. In Beverly Hills. Thank Gawd we live in a normal middle-American place where all we have to worry about is volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami's, widespread death, destruction and chaos, and the inevitable reversion to cannibalism.

Hey, y'know, there might be a mini-series or a basic-cable movie in that! I wonder if Megan would be interested? Have her people call my people, wouldjya?

"Craigslist revenue to hit 100 mln dollars: media group"
Like Craigie, here.

' "Craigslist is a stunning business success story, especially since it's run more like a community service than a for-profit business," AIM founder Peter Zollman said Wednesday in a posting at the firm's website. "The company continues to grow significantly, while many classified advertising publishers are reporting year-over-year drops of 50 percent or more in certain categories," Zollman wrote. Craigslist websites localized to communities around the world act, in part, as online notice boards where people can post messages on a range of topics including apartment rentals, items for sales and jobs. Craigslist only charges fees for "a tiny percentage" of its ads, according to media consultancy group AIM, which has been estimating the Internet company's annual revenue since 2003. '

"'Guerrilla drive-ins' turn nostalgia on its head"
We can haz making out?

' Think the only way to see a big-screen movie is while slurping a 64-oz. soft drink, eating a $5 candy bar and shushing the wannabe film critic behind you? That's not the case anymore, thanks to people like John Young, creator of the West Chester Guerilla Drive-In and part of a loosely knit network of celluloid renegades resurrecting the drive-in for a new age. "Nowadays, you push a button and a movie appears," he said. "There's fun in the inconvenience of having to get off the couch and go somewhere you might not be familiar with, maybe getting rained on, maybe being cold. It makes it an adventure." For the past four years or so, the 38-year-old Web developer has been showing films — real, honest-to-goodness 16mm film — from a 1970s school projector mounted on the sidecar of his 1977 BMW motorcycle.Guerrilla drive-ins or "MobMovs" — shorthand for mobile movies — are popping up around the country in a variety of configurations. Unlike Young's old-school use of real film, guerrilla drive-ins typically eschew the analog in favor of DVDs and LCD projectors. "A lot of independent filmmakers are enabled by modern technology (to make their own movies), but the area where they're not enabled is distribution," he said. "There's no channel for them to get out there, no audience interaction or feedback. We can help support that." '

"2 missing, 41 hurt in NC Slim Jim plant collapse"
The smell of burning flesh was everywhere. And whatever is in Slim Jims, too.

' Some of the more than 300 workers on duty described chaos after the explosion. Authorities could not say exactly where in the plant the blast happened or what caused it.
"I was getting ready to pick up a piece of meat off the line and I felt it — the percussion. And you could feel it in my chest and my ears popped," said worker Chris Woods. "One of the guys I was working with got blown back — his hat flew backwards." Janelle Lynch, who has worked at the plant for eight years, said she saw flames and ran. She planned to leave through the cutting department, but the roof started to collapse, so she went in the other direction and escaped through a warehouse. "I saw a fire and things just started exploding," she said. ConAgra spokesman Dave Jackson said someone called the plant over the weekend and threatened to start a fire. He said company officials don't believe the threat was connected to the explosion, but Garner Police Sgt. Joe Binns would not say whether police think there is a link. "I don't want to go in that direction right now," Binns said. "We're focused on the rescue, not the investigation." '

YAHOO TECH
"Tech cos enlist Democrat to blast Obama tax plan "
Revolving doors in the digital age.

' A group of technology heavyweights, including chiefs of IBM (IBM.N) and Motorola Inc (MOT.N) enlisted a former Clinton administration economist to beat back President Barack Obama's plan to boost some taxes on overseas profits. The Technology CEO Council recruited Robert J. Shapiro, a former top Commerce Department official, who wrote a report released on Monday arguing that significant jobs losses could occur under Obama's plan. Last month, Obama introduced a proposal to raise $210 billion over a decade in part by tightening tax rules on income earned abroad. The administration says current policy spurs job creation overseas, while U.S.-based multinational companies say precisely the opposite is true. Shapiro acknowledged his job loss estimates don't correspond to Obama's proposal, because the report examines elimination of tax deferral of foreign income, while Obama's plan is a modified version of that. A respected economist who reviewed the report, however, questioned the underlying data assumptions cited. "Their numbers are just way out there," said Rosanne Altshuler, an economist at the Brookings-Urban Institute's Tax Policy Institute. For example, the Shapiro report estimates that repeal of deferral would have cut earnings at foreign subsidiaries of U.S. multinationals by $57.2 billion in 2004. But the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the government has raised a fraction of that on annual basis from the policy, making that estimate seem inflated. Current law allows companies to defer income tax until they bring the income back into the United States, for example, in the form of dividends. Companies can take deductions on expenses linked to income earned abroad immediately though. Obama wants to require companies to delay deductions until the foreign income is claimed. The top U.S. corporate tax rate of 35 percent is among the highest in the world, though Obama officials say that with deductions and loopholes it is effectively much lower, at about 20 percent. "The reality now is that companies pay very little in U.S. taxes," the senior Obama administration official said. '

"China demands new PCs carry spyware"
C-C-C-Courage. NOT!!!

' Starting July 1, computers sold in China must include government-provided spyware that blocks pornography and political dissent from Chinese citizens’ view, The New York Times reports, following up a Wall Street Journal report. Called “Green Dam” — green being a foil to the yellow smut of pornography — the software is designed to filter out sexually explicit images and words, according to the company that designed it. Computer experts, however, warn that once installed, the software could be directed to block all manner of content or allow the government to monitor Internet use and collect personal information. PC makers are said to be irritated with the new rules but presumably not enough to buck the government. The major irritation seems to be that July 1 isn’t enough time to add the software to massive production lines. '

"Justices Tell Judges Not to Rule on Major Backers"
Digging for coal is a dirty business. And so is the Law, apparently.

' Elected judges must disqualify themselves from cases involving people who spent exceptionally large sums to put them on the bench, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday in a 5-to-4 decision. The decision, the first to say the Constitution’s due process clause has a role to play in policing the role of money in judicial elections, ordered the chief justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court to recuse himself from a $50 million case against a coal company whose chief executive had spent $3 million to elect him. In the West Virginia case, Justice Kennedy wrote, there was “a serious, objective risk of actual bias.” Chief Justice Brent D. Benjamin, the beneficiary of the coal executive’s spending, twice joined the majority in 3-to-2 decisions throwing out the $50 million jury verdict against the company, Massey Energy. '

"Landmark tobacco regulation bill goes to Obama"
Just blowin' smoke,here?

' Under the plan, the FDA for the first time will monitor and inspect tobacco companies. Cigarette makers must pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fees, register with the agency, and provide a list of all the products they make. The measure also calls for larger warnings on cigarette packages, restricts vending machine sales, bans most flavored products and further curbs print advertisements targeting children. The FDA also will have final say over new products and marketing claims such as "light" and "low tar." Health advocates backed the plan, saying it would reduce smoking, prevent disease and lower soaring healthcare costs. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, whose helped lead the effort, said FDA oversight will rein in an industry known for aggressive marketing efforts. Some experts have said the bill essentially seals Philip Morris' position as market leader. Reynolds American Inc's R.J. Reynolds Tobacco unit and Lorillard Inc's Lorillard Tobacco Co. have spoken out against the plan. "It's going to make it almost impossible for any new product to enter the market," said Dr. Michael Siegel, a professor at Boston University's School of Public Health. Critics like Siegel said the bill did not go far enough. Lawmakers could have banned nicotine as well as popular mint-flavored menthol cigarettes, raised the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21 and restricted sales to certain stores, much like alcohol, Siegel said.

"Microsoft hopes charity push will spur IE downloads"
It's AMAZING the chump change amounts of money that multibillionaire Bill Gates & Co actually donate to charity, and all the great free press they get as a result. Sickening. Just like their CRAP software.

' Although Microsoft is pulling Internet Explorer 8 out of Windows 7 in Europe, the software maker is also busy in the U.S. trying to get folks to download its latest browser. One piece of the effort is a charity push in which Microsoft will donate meals to a food bank for each person that downloads IE 8 via a special "Browser for the Better" Web site. Technically, the company is donating $1.15 per completed download, up to a maximum of $1 million. The software maker has seen its browser share--which once topped 90 percent--continue to decline, with Mozilla's Firefox having gained considerable ground. The company also faces competition from Apple, Google and others in the browser arena. As of last month, Internet Explorer's global market share stood at 65.5 percent, according to Net Applications, compared with 22.5 percent for Firefox, 8.4 percent for Safari, and 1.8 percent for Google's Chrome.

"Fiat Bags Chrysler"
Spaghetti westerns, Motown pizzawagons?

' But Fiat now has a tough task ahead of it, even though it is familiar to the U.S. market: Not only does it own the American construction and agricultural equipment maker Case New Holland, it has tried selling cars in the U.S. before--and unsuccessfully at that. After building up a reputation for shoddy quality, it pulled its Alfa Romeo brand out of the U.S. market in 1994. "Americans still remember that," said John Wolkonowiscz, senior auto analyst at thinktank IHS Global Insight. He forecasts that Fiat's brands will start selling around 50,000 cars annually in the next three years, which represents around half of what Volkswagen's Audi brand sells in the U.S. today. Fiat now needs to focus on making its cars as durable and reliable as possible for American car buyers, who tend to treat their cars more robustly than in Fiat's home region. "Unlike Europeans, Americans treat their cars with a kind of cavalier attitude. They run over potholes. They kind of abuse the vehicles," said Wolkonowiscz. Meanwhile Chrysler's brands have been tainted by bankruptcy. "Americans have been very upset that Chrysler and GM took money from the government. Many are shifting over to Ford and other brands." Fiat clearly has a lot of work to do. '

"Theme park firm Six Flags files for bankruptcy"
We are NOT amused.

' The New York-based company operates amusement parks across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Six Flags said it filed for Chapter 11 protection with the unanimous support of its lenders' steering committee. Shapiro said the action will not affect day-to-day park operations. The bankruptcy filing "paves the way for a full revival of the company," he said. Six Flags, which offers 800 rides at its 20 parks, had been burdened with a massive debt load and a looming cash payment in August. '

THEY STILL THINK OBAMA NEEDS THEIR ADVICE

WRONG THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN, "EXPERTS" START SECOND-GUESSING THE NEW ADMINISTRATION IMMEDIATELY



It Must Be Great To Have A Job You Can't Get Fired From For Screwing Up Every Single Time

Is the Pundit Academy a part of Clown College? Are they wearing gigantic shoes under those network talking-heads desks? If you squeeze their big red noses, will they go "BEEP-BEEP"? Do they stand at attention with their hands over their hearts whenever they hear a calliope? Can you jam them all in a tiny little car and then watch a hundred of them all pop out of it? Do they do childrens' birthday parties? How much do they charge?

Barack Obama is not even a full day old as President-elect, but the boobs on the tube are at it already. Of course we expected the ravening hoard on squawk radio to jump right in and make assh*les of themselves: They have a genetic disorder. It's called "Assh*les' Syndrome." But somehow, we naively assumed that the "serious journalists" and "respected commentators" with actual, if inflated, resumes would slink off for a week or two, in hopes we might all forget how completely and consistently wrong they have been at every single point in this incredibly long campaign.

Nope. They must all have major cash-flow problems, or major ego problems, our talking heads. They couldn't shut up for even one single day. So it behooves us to cut them no slack whatsoever and remind them that yes, every single one of us, the majority of American voters, really was capable of voting for a black man, a Democrat in wartime, a "liberal," a man of "limited" experience, a Chicagoan, a community organizer, et cetera et cetera ad nauseum. And by every single one of us I mean exactly that; including all of us angry white males, suburbanites, blue collar "non-college" types, Southerners, Christians, veterans, military, etc, etc, etc.

Now, I realize that these butt-heads have to earn a living. I understand that all they know how to do is bullsh*t on the teevee. But don't they ever watch themselves? Don't they ever go back and check out their old shows and listen to themselves talking utter and complete bollocks? At long last, have they no freakin' shame?

Nope. Not to judge by the last 24 hours. They're already telling our incredibly successful and politically brilliant new President and his team everything they're doing wrong in their punditty view; and what all they SHOULD be doing according to themselves alone. Do they think the world is just a bathroom mirror, into which they can safely and comfortably spew nonsense for practice, as if no one could hear them? Or do they think we're stupid enough to pay them any mind? They should know by now how Obama treats their output: FLUSH!

I was on a political talk-show once, when I was a kid. The teevee folks turned on the mikes & cameras for half an hour, and then they shut them off. We were yapping for a while before and after they ran the tape. It didn't seem to matter to the teevee folks. They then broadcast that half-hour, in between the other stuff they used to fill the day's broadcast schedule. They really didn't seem to care what we said. It was all just filler. That was public television. On commercial TV, they just have to fill up the empty minutes between advertisements for ass-cream, pimple-cream, youth-cream, etc. Really, a lot of the adverts are better than the most of the shows. Why don't they just show the ads, and eliminate the yapping in between?

Or, hey, pundit-heads why not just SHUT THE F*CK UP!!! Hm?

Breaking News: Somebody Fucked Somebody Else

This has never happened to any living organism in the whole history of the universe and beyond, since the beginning of time. The entire population of the solar system was shocked today by the revelation that someone they don't personally know and have only vaguely ever heard of may have had sex, allegedly, with someone else no one knows. Everyone else's life came to a complete halt as every last one of us was frozen in shock, waiting for the media, the government, or some local religious outlet, to tell us exactly what to think, feel, say and do about this earth-shattering experience. All other business, no matter how important, is forgotten forever.

How easy life was yesterday! We had only the war, the economy, terrorism, unemployment, the election, inflation, AIDS, poisoned food; poor education, housing, health care and transportation services; high taxes, government corruption and incompetence, and our own personal problems to think about. Oh, if only those simpler times were back! If only no one had ever fucked anyone! Oh, woe is me!! WOE IS ME!!! Will this fucking never cease?
