CRIME PAYS IN MANY WAYS
What's produced in Hollywood is both bad and good, clean and obscene. rated X and PG and in between depending on the bottom line of profits at the time---the influx of bucks that sucks the suckers in, the frequency of absurd four-letter words, of dialogue inane and plain asinine and unrefined that's seen and heard on the tarnished silver screen.
When it comes to movieland morality forget about quality. Producers and other excusers play it loose, turn on the juice and glorify the abuse of man and beast to release a box office piece when dough is low and they know it might stop the show but not the flow of idiots who go to see it.
Well. that's my summation of the situation of Hollywood humiliation that assaults the nation in the name of uncontrolled creation. There'll be no censorship on this or any future trip as long as Hollywood flips and flops and pulls out all the stops to cop the top reviews that please the indiscrete movie industry, already replete with subjects too offensive to mention to
grab the attention of a demented, discontented clap-happy hypnotized, mesmerized segment of those who go to movie shows.
This didn't all happen recently. Indecency began back in the days when silent films turned violent to capture the mood of a nation fascinated by the fame and lack of shame of those with names like Jesse James and Poncho-Villa that filled the media of the day with six-gun justice just as corporate crooks cook the books do today.
Let's us face the facts that criminal acts, like in days of old are bought and sold on Wall Street all the time to the nation's shame. The motivation's much the same. It's all about stealing and concealing crime, wheeling and dealing on a massive scale what ever is for sale and will forever prevail as long as thieves are released on a million dollar bail and flee the country easily to continue their crimes quasi-legally in lands where courts and cops pull out all the stops to protect the suspects from the law. It's an attitude that sticks in the craw of the few who hold the view that those who do the crime should do the time.
It's a myth that crime doesn't pay with dividends and never ends is in politics where the fix is in before the dirty works begin. You just can't win. That's the way it's always been and will always be as long as risk-free criminality corrupts integrity and the truth of all time is that the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
