I’ve worked in Hollywood going on 30+ years now... I physically don’t have the time to watch spin-offs so I barely understand your Acolyte reference - but do - because of personal friend accounts who worked on it and of it’s very unpopular storytelling.
I’ll reiterate that in prior comments here about my career, there are levels to the depravity in the “business” - mainly isolated to the uber-rich stars and those who green-light projects, producers, select agents. We don’t all know Jeffrey Epstein - in fact, those who did are probably relegated to less then .01% in Hollywood who actually earn a living in Hollywood. But you would think otherwise judging from the comment sections here at GAW. Much like the “left,” this community tends to paint with a gigantic brush sometimes.
The other myth, not all movies made are “comms” or have comms in them. I’ve worked and have become friends with many great, talented filmmakers and they truly aren’t a part of some grand conspiracy working against the public. Sending clandestine messages to the cabal who have to wait up to 2+ years to see the message being sent... get out of here with that ridiculousness.
Also, when those on the “right” /middle America, or/and GAW claim all of Hollywood are “kid fuckers” it makes us look uneducated and myopic.
And fun fact, there is actually a rather large contingent of workers especially including union tradespeople in Hollywood who are gigantic MAGA supporters, we all pay our taxes but pretty much keep a low-profile because we like to earn a living and like to continue to get work.
Much like the very few corrupt politicians who have influence over policies and media the misunderstanding that we are all commie/lefties in Hollywood couldn’t be further from the truth. But those in power have the voice. And right or wrong, I prefer a roof over my family’s head and a healthy career so you won’t see any pushback from me or my friends. It is what it is.
