Why We Hate Us

The business of making movies drives Hollywood nuts

Share this story

You think you know Hollywood? Sure, you’ve seen your share of movies. You read Vanity Fair and Entertainment Weekly and sneak a peak at Showbiz Tonight from time to time to catch the latest on Lindsay Lohan’s sexual orientation. You probably even have a million-dollar script inside you, howling to get out. Who knows, maybe you’re even one of the tiny minority of Americans who have seen Frost/Nixon, Milk, or The Reader, three of this year’s Best Picture nominees that combined have grossed less than $50 million so far.

In that case, you know that we show folks are a bunch of neurotic, granola-crunching, coke-snorting, Prius-driving, raw-foods-consuming, bed-hopping, real-estate-obsessed, anti-gun, pro-gay-marriage, metrosexual Obama voters who talk deals all day at Orso’s and Sushi Roku and sleep each night in upscale, all-white enclaves with “Armed Response” signs in front of the houses.
