It's funny, the concept of cinema, how something so ugly has to happen to create things of such beauty. Hollywood wins the battle sometimes by perpetuating the visual and mind numbing torment, a reflection of itself, but sometimes something so profound eclipses the failures and makes the existence of such self centred madness seem almost invaluable to humanity.
I wonder if the donations from the most shallow consumerist societies, to the poor, even put a dent in the armoured cataclysm of their destructive nature. The truth is no, it doesn't. There is no glory in donating in a way that doesn't even allow some discussion as to the occurrence of altruism within the transaction.
Hollywood, fuelled by consumerism, inspiring the aspiring to positions of mass consumerism in reward for debauching their creations of insightful entertainment, benefits us in a way that maybe a well produced theatre production would. Theater, a purer form of entertainment for the sake of art and without the cash incentives that attract the ego maniacal greedy fucks swooping in like vultures with aspirations of generating enough corpses for the world to chow down on and having only one seat at the table. A strange yet obvious metaphor for greed and excess, but if we say it enough times it might sink in long enough to implement an inkling of change and eventually..... Hope.
Everything is connected in the strangest ways, which, on a positive note, means that change is actually very easy if it begins in the correct place. Where is that place? Well, if you want to de venom a snake, you don’t pull it out of the stomach or the arse, do you.
