Comments on: How Hollywood Really Works: Part 1 http://www.bloggernews.net/121333 High-quality English language analysis and editorial writing on the news. Wed, 15 Feb 2012 19:37:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Writer http://www.bloggernews.net/121333#comment-1726911 Writer Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:52:51 +0000 http://www.bloggernews.net/121333#comment-1726911 The Hollywood system will not change until forced to. I agree with every word. Like the post said, put the writer in the number three position and we have a better chance at a well oiled system producing quality work. They would attract more bankable talent, more bankable talent would be created by this process. It's going to take near bankruptcy and brute force to change the system. The day of the indie filmmaker is coming...but not without its fair share of bloodshed. The Hollywood system will not change until forced to. I agree with every word.

Never happen, but a fun parlor game nonetheless. 2. "Nobody knows anything." --William Goldman, ADVENTURES IN THE SCREEN TRADE Two observations to your disturbing, but accurate analysis:

I can't wait to read the rest. I have been wondering,especially this summer, why studios are spending millions to produce and many more millions to promote films that have limited success potential. I think the time of the indie filmmaker is coming. I love this. I can’t wait to read the rest.
