Why I love movies but loathe Hollywood

Things happen for a reason.  It's called cause and effect.  It's probably the single most important thing you need to know about the universe.  We'll never get anywhere, never make the world one tiny bit better than it is today unless we accept that-things happen for reasons.  It's the key to solving any problem.

Hollywood, for as far back as I can remember is a rejection of this idea.  Everything that happens in a movie happens only because some jack-ass decided that's what would look cool, and who cares if it's a direct violation of reality as everyone SHOULD know it.  It doesn't matter that we have spent generation teaching everyone that they should turn off their brains.  Thinking?  Think isn't important, thinking just ruins it for everybody.  And sure, why not, where's the harm?  Well, I'll tell you.  The harm is that all too many people never turn there minds back on.  Movies have taught them that thinking is a bad thing.  Things just happen because we want them to happen, because they look cool.  A man in a movie dramatically suits up in his armor because it looks cool and a few moments later is stabbed to death, because armor isn't meant to protect you from such things, armor serves no purpose at all except it looks cool.

Over and over and over again we find ourselves entertained by things, the primary message for which is, things just happen, we have no control over anything so way not just sit on our asses with out thumb up our asses and our finger up our noses and just enjoy the ride as it all comes crashing down around us...just like it does in the movies.

I think about the world as it is and the world as it could and should be if people just stopped trying to wish a better world into existence and started believing again that things ONLY happen when you make them happen, simple cause and effect.  It's NOT magic, it's NOT a movie.  It's real life and it will only get better if YOU stop wishing and waiting for other people to make it better and make it better yourselves, because that's how the real world works and YES Hollywood the way the real world works really DOES matter.

I'd gladly go on for days if I thought it would change anything, but I have long since lost my faith.  People have no patience for people telling them things they don't want to hear, and this isn't something they want to hear.

The villains of Hollywood and their ilk have filled our heads with the delusion that it's all just make believe and what IS doesn't matter.

Are the movies fun?  Sure they are, and fun is good, but their brand of fun is also poisonous.

I am the bad guy.  I am the one who spoils the show.  I am the one shouting from the highest roof-tops.  Reality DOES matter, The truth DOES matter and if we want a better world it's in our hands to make it so.  All we have to do is reject what Hollywood and T.V. and all that other crap has been teaching us for so long.  Things happen because we make them happen, for reasons-cause and effect and making it better is all a matter of excepting that and the doing something that matters.  Movies are dreams and dreams can be great but dreams can be real and the world can be a better place, but to make that happen-you have to wake up first.
