I actually agree with you. Hollywood could learn a helluva lot by visiting sites like this one. Unfortunately, they have their way of doing things, and that is mostly to consult people within the industry, then leave everything up to the executives.MisterCairo said:Why are the British "anoraks and wallies" because their film and tv producers know how to research and take the time to make period details look like period details?
And your country is 234 years old and was, as I recall my history, founded by the anoraks and wallies in question. How long will it take your film producers to actually use your inventions like the internet and web and bulletin board to research complex details like hairstyles and clothing patterns?
Better to be a party pooper than plain ol' lazy!
I'm kind of with Theodor Adorno, the philosopher, on Hollywood. It carefully controls what it knows about on the screen - ie: what's likely to produce revenue. What doesn't produce revenue is nobody's business - out of our influence. You can't reach them in any way but thru the pocketbook.
