Notes"I found out that Hollywood is more crooked, dumber, crueler, stupider than all the books I’ve read about it. They didn’t go deeply enough into how it lacks art, and soul, and heart— how it’s really a piece of crap. There are too many hands directing, there’re too many fingers in the pot, and they’re all kind of ignorant about what they’re doing. They’re greedy, and they’re vicious. So you don’t get much of a movie."Charles Bukowski

After I told my brother there was nothing more boring than Cowboys plus Aliens
He said he’s going to write a movie called Pilgrims and Motorcycles. The tag line is, “This Thanksgiving, put your yams to the pedal.” And the poster is a close-up of a pilgrim’s buckle shoe.

Notes Walter Chaw's Transformers ReviewTransformers: Dark of the Moon (hereafter Transformers: Asshole) is a new low watermark for Bay and this naughty-little-boy franchise that highlights Bay’s misogyny, puerility, and imbecility for all the world to see. Better, it works as a fine illustration of how this industry of ours that I spend a lot of time defending is in bed completely with the Michael Bays of the world, who represent, I think, the money-making potential of any industry that consents to peddle vice and venality to children.
It only gets better (and more specific).

Notes"When they ask “Why does Hollywood make such shitty movies?” it’s because when they do make great ones you don’t fucking show up."Guillermo Del Toro on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

"I just decided that actors were different than we were. You know, when you spend many hours, many years pretending to be a person who you aren’t, well, that can do something to you. It’s hard enough just trying to be yourself. Think of trying very hard to be somebody that you’re not. And then being somebody else that you’re not. And then somebody else. At first, you know, it could be exciting. But after a while, after being dozens of other people, maybe it would be hard to remember who you were yourself, especially if you had to make up your own lines."
Hollywood; Charles Bukowski

"‘That’s it,’ I said. ‘It’s beginning to rain.’ All the cars were going to stop. California drivers didn’t know how to drive in the rain. They drove too fast or too slow. Most of them drove too slow. […] Then it really started to come down. Terror filled the other drivers on the freeway. They peered through their flipping wipers with their tiny soulless eyes…
These drivers now, in their cars, acted as if they were practically on their death beds. You could feel their panic in the downpour of rain. Dumb panic. Useless panic. Wasted panic. You ever want to use your panic, save it for something real."Hollywood; Charles Bukowski
Try to imagine the affirmation I felt when I discovered this passage.

"I never realized that there were so many movie magazines. It was a sickness: this great interest in a medium that relentlessly and consistently failed, time after time after time, to produce anything at all. People became so used to seeing shit on film that they no long realized it was shit."
Hollywood; Charles Bukowski
