Let God Be God

A Rare and Fine Actor can also be a very common, self-serving As...hole-- Sort of like, all poets are writers but all writers are not necessarily poets—nor even literate; I guess, what I’m saying in the Round-about is, Let God be God while knowing that men will always be men when it comes to sex and politics….

Oh, I thought Hollywood was the new Papacy? LOL. There's plenty I cannot say here. Moron-hood would be a better name. The movies get weirder all the time. Movies in the 80's were better.)) I hate text messages in movies. Ugh, Panagiota

Re: Hollywood. The public are the ones who pays their salaries by going to movies. Drugs are served on huge plates at Hollywood events. Any of their choice. That does not help.*writers I know attend such events* Add, to that, they think they were elected to run the country and are actively practicing McArthyism to the max. The Red Carpet.a perfect name for these rabid, wealthy socialists. Panagiota. XX

Hi Panagiota: I don't know what's-up with Hollywood? Other parts of LA seem to be totally neglected. It's for far wiser minds than mine I guess.

I have made the same observation, on actors in particular, but also on other artists. Nevertheless I have also observed some men (I include women) who had god-like qualities. But then there’s sex and politics!

Hi Geoffrey; thank you for commenting. For sure, my statement applies to all fields of art, along with a host of other admirable occupations. Too often we make gods and goddesses of individuals simply because they are outstanding in some way: when, outside of their particular expertise, in many instances they behave as complete morons. There are actors and actresses I once admired, but because of their lunatic public statements, I could not be paid to see one of their films. Just the way I am.
