The biggest danger of Hollywood becoming a purely corporate town resides in the creative process.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In Hollywood, there's a network of creative executives, and when they hear something is good, it catches fire.
Hollywood's got its own particular environment.
Hollywood is the kind of place that takes what you do well in one thing and manufactures it so the joy can be taken out of it.
Hollywood is an extraordinary kind of temporary place.
Hollywood is a small, familial place. Everyone does business with everybody else. The same complications occur in investment banking.
What you have now is a Hollywood that is pure poison. Hollywood was a central place in the history of art in the 20th century: it was human idealism preserved. And then, like any great place, it collapsed, and it collapsed into the most awful machinery in the world.
Well, Hollywood isn't made up of individual studio heads anymore. It's made of corporations. And corporations are looking for the bottom line. They don't want to take chances. They want the money back for stockholders.
What about the accusation that Hollywood is trying to advance its liberal agenda? Well, the fact is, while the creative community admittedly leans left, Hollywood has become a corporate town.
One of the biggest dangers in Hollywood is becoming typed.
I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.
