DAY 9: HOLLYWOOD HELD HOSTAGE

Mr. Mayer [aka Undercover Conservative]...

Your pieces are great.

It'll be tough, but I'm sure America will pull through the writers strike...

I'm surprised that you're not also a contributor with my conservative entertainment friends at http://www.exilestreet.com ...

I post some of their pieces at my own little ExileStreet fan blog at Town Hall...

let me know if I can put you together...

Hey, just read your first three posts. You are a good writer, and I presume you are what you say you are. Personally, I have never had any interest in Hollywood other than it's occasional good movie, make that, excellent movie.

There are some. Tell us for instance about the reception for an excellent movie called "Bella". I have not had the pleasure of seeing it, but certainly look forward to doing so.

By the way, when you say 15 years, are you hedging your bets.??. That is a fairly good identifier for some Hollywood type who may know you, and suspect you are you. Stay at it. You are off to a roaring start, and some of us may care to read about Hollywood, or conversely may wonder about the crap they usually make there.

You definitely have a gift for putting down into words the truly bizarre happenings on the Left Coast! I will be returning to your blog regularly. I'm heading to youtube now....!

I appreciate your comments. If you visit my main blog at http://www.theundercoverconservative.com, I'll try to post some pretty amusing pictures from the picket lines out here. It's more like a street fair than a union walkout. I have to imagine Jimmy Hoffa is spinning in his grave (or the bottom of the Hudson River...or a cement block in Yankee Stadium...or under a grocery story parking lot...or wherever he is) now.

Onceamarine, I have not seen BELLA yet but I have heard really excellent things about that film. Surprisingly, I think that smaller independent films tend to have a more balanced political perspective than the usual Hollywood fare. BELLA seems to be a good example of that.
