Gillian Anderson - Comments and Message Board

FASCIST HOLLYWOODGillian Anderson 'Joan Of Hollywood' Reveals...(unFAME):'...her sacrifice was the vehicle required to significantly help expose indicators of corp's current fascist ways in monopolizing the arts. Gillian Anderson's career is this article's catalyst. It's a cruel and tearful tale. It's also documented and therefore pinnacle. More and more Hollywood actors are showing outward signs of this.'HOLLYWOOD ACTORS: SUFFER IN VEIL OF SILENCEIt seems that the people's concern for the survival of the arts has become passe. Also, the younger generation has apparently bought into the celeb biz b.s., like people did in the 30's and 40's. Working as an actor|artist in Hollywood can be a brutal and treacherous endeavor. Corp. Hollywood's powerful monopolizing stance in the commercialism of the 'Arts and Entertainment Corp. Hollywood Celeb. Industry' is dismantling the arts. It is abusing our actors and controlling the people in order to fill it's pockets with cash and at the extinction of our society's freedom of speech.Of course, the seasoned Hollywood actors are tortuously aware that the glitz and seeming glamour of it (celeb biz), is just the lavish icing on top of this inedible cake. In fact, this icing is the main way that Corporate hides the fact that most that work in the arts in Hollywood are part of an extremely oppressed group of talented and gifted artists suffering in silence in order to keep their job offers coming in.The 'red carpet, arts and entertainment corp. celeb industry' is owned and harshly managed by giant corporations specializing in marketing and commercialism (not the arts). The 'corp. celeb biz' spoils, generated in business and services, advertising, merchandise and endorsements, tax breaks, profit sharing and portfolio interest payouts, etc. via this fake cake, would surely have to be measured in the billions.'SCARE & SLANDER' AND 'BLACK-BALL' TACTICSEvery savvy person involved in the arts, being commercially managed by corp. Hollywood, is fully aware of the sharp blade that Corporate wields with a swift and heavy hand. I'm speaking of their 'scare & slander' and 'black-ball' management tactics. The old-money actor families that survived Hollywood, as far back as the 1930's to 40's, know that this isn't new.In addition, corp's questionable, extremely oppressive and borderline unlawful labor practices, sweat-shop type working conditions, and yes, skewed compensation (relative to how enormously non-affordable it is to be a famous actor), are kept under tight wraps as well. More and more Hollywood actors are showing outward signs of this.Even so-called "independent film" is in many cases affected by commercialism. Corp. Hollywood's monopoly of the arts is in serious violation of America's freedom of speech.'JOAN OF HOLLYWOOD', (AWESOME MATRIARCH OF THE ARTS)Gillian Anderson is known for being beloved, sometimes quirky and rambunctious. Also, she has most honorably and courageously earned an ever growing title, 'Joan Of Hollywood.' (Insider buzz: there are even songs being written for consideration about this theme.)Her past career situation in Hollywood is a perfect, documented, iconic example of the horrific professional, personal and thankless sacrifices that she and her peers too often have to endure in Hollywood. She's been quite humble in not glorifying it. And in true form of most artists with kindred spirits, she has not retaliated.However, her unfortunate situation was the necessary magnifier needed to isolate the indicators of big corporations' meticulous and methodical (marketing-disguised) coup and questionable (some might say cruel) business practices, perpetrated by their appointed money-hungry department heads, their aligned subsidiaries and their silent allied conglomerate partners.This promising actor was robbed, while under contract, of young motherhood with her only small child. She was forced to work 17hr days, five and a half work day weeks for a straight decade. Of course this helped corp. cut their costs in doing business. They could have hired more people and invested more into their production budget in order to provide fair and humane work scenarios for their employees.Ms. Anderson's history is testimony to her convictions and activism concerning the too often taxing and established ways of the great. It's these same personal certitudes that dictate her integrity as being totally awesome.As a young working mom, she said no more and resigned for the sake of her small child and at great risk to her career. That's the coolest thing ever. Expectantly and immediately, the 'scare & slander' and 'black-ball' tactics began against her. Corp's unspoken policy, as most can easily imagine, is that nobody quits them. Nobody. They quit you! She was never considered for any notable big name projects worthy of her hard earned decade of accomplishments thereafter.Gillian Anderson's well earned reputation as a talented actor with a diligent work ethic began to immediately tarnish upon tendering her resignation. We all have seen this pattern happen over and over again to our actors that are on the outs with corp.The (cleverly difficult to prove) corp. 'celeb biz' sponsored gossip columns, which attack ones character via skewed truths and innuendo, is a diseased bat which preys in the darkest of hours. It's too easy to leak any rumor, factual or not, in any format, intensity, whenever and to whomever. And it's common knowledge that corp. Hollywood is the media. Therefore it's not difficult to visualize a corp. dept. head cowering behind the phone calls and fax-emails of their subsidiaries and their silent 'partners in greed' in this.The 'scare and slander' tactic is a vampire with a velvet touch. As many of her peers before her, that have said no to corp. Hollywood, Gillian Anderson has slipped into relative obscurity. Like many, she understandably, has since left our U.S. and moved to the UK.Gillian Anderson is one more Hollywood artist whose promising career, home and family, and personal life, has been unfairly damaged via corporate. Some Americans take objections to having the people's arts and our artists exploited for the sole purpose of greed, engorging the accounts of billion-dollar, monopolizing corporate heads and corporations. Our society seriously needs our promising artists. Not one is unimportant. Not one, especially young working mothers with small children. This is the U.S. isn't it?...or is it?God help the artist that makes the mistake of Rembrandt Von Ryan (see art history, 1600's Amsterdam) when applying for a job with corp. Hollywood; then stumbles, falls, and finds themselves unable to feed the parking meter if they don't have another kindred spirit to help lift them up."ACTORS ONLY GOOD AS LAST FILM"--NOTA more accurate statement might read: An actor is only as free, protected, and financially independent as:* their self control to: regard all flattery as a net for their feet and avoidthe temptations at the corp. Hollywood table of delicacies.* their insight to maintain a bohemian-artist lifestyle after initial and long-term success.* their courage and faith (in a savings-bohemian-artist lifestyle) after initial success to 'say no' to projects that pervert their art and move to a plan B for producing their works.* their agent and publicist, who had better have an honorary PhD in sociology, psychology, philosophy, business, and psychology of film (see documentary about Alfred Hitchc**k).* their standing within Hollywood's old-money power structure.* their political pull, or luck, in getting themselves put into the 'A-list job pool' cash-cow projects, which are based on financially conscious scriptsdependent on demographic studies.* their ability to take orders and not challenge the powerful corporate department heads, no matter how cruel or unfair their demands.* their luck in not getting their career and reputation squashed in a power struggle between two or more corp. dept. heads.* their insight to liquidate any unrealistic lifestyle and prepare for a long financial drought in a plan B (ASAP) when necessary.* their faith and courage to stop, rest, ponder for regrouping and refuse any crap scripts or projects that threaten their reputation or integrity when in a compromising position.* Their day job's profitability (day job: stock market, investment business, product endorsement, etc.)* their ability to: endure and get a no-shame, therapeutic lifestyle,not bitterness, should the worst befall.* their ability to: have the mental toughness to remember: few are they who do battle with the great without developing an irreversible P.T.S.D.APATHY?...FASCISM?...ARTS' & SOCIETY'S FUTURE?History offers us friendly advice and warning. What sets the U.S. apart from WWII Germany and fascist states to include those currently in the Middle East? Is it differences in the way we conduct local and global commerce or differences in our military generals?Supposedly it's having our arts established as the spearhead in freedom of speech and freedom from oppression. How the arts are managed and filtered into society will always define that state as free or oppressed. And when any entity other than the people begins managing the media, especially the arts, alarm bells should be going off!The leader of WWII Germany was a failed artist but an expert in the history and philosophy of art and it's power. Most are aware that they utilized film and media as their primary vehicle to manipulate an entire society. Was the people's early pervasive apathy towards society's arts responsible for the events that followed? The debate continues today.Should the people not take timely responsibility as the majority overseers of our society's arts and employ our supreme courts to free the arts...well, history has a tendency to repeat itself, doesn't it? I'm not saying that corp. Hollywood's intent is anti-semitic. But they have proven that they will, indeed, break down anyone that questions their power or greed.Fascist states suck. Their great manipulate the people by strangling society's arts with an iron hand in order to obtain their own personal, individual and political agendas. Most left and right wing voters would agree that fascism even if enabled with a velvet touch is just as dangerous and oppressive to the people.unFAME understands as most do that free commercial business and trade helps keep America a global power. It's also understood that a free state's arts belong to the people and the great. However, the majority vote belongs to the people and it's the people who are the faithful overseers of the arts which guide our civilization.***(The Future Of Hollywood Arts?)In hypothetical pondering, what is our society's inevitable future should big corporations in Hollywood continue to go unchallenged? Most likely we can say goodbye to the 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' and say hello to the 'Paris Hiltons' as mascots depicting U.S. arts.In this we could find ourselves under a chronic 'celeb biz' anesthetic thereby evolving into a people who are unconsciously oppressed. Therein, if that's not bad enough, we could apathetically lose our consciousness for endeavoring towards universal understanding. Advancement in humanity and higher civilization depend upon how well we manage the arts. They guide our society.Wake up! Stand up! are leading lyrics used in songs coming out of Hollywood studios. For those of us affluent enough to take action it might be wise to take these words more to heart.It's wholesome to permit the arts and corp. to be at matched odds with one another. However, monopolizing our arts or retaining fascist like ways to choke them is not favorable for maintaining strong stability within our people or establishing a well respected status as an allied global power.FAMOUS ACTORS NEED EMPATHY TOOFamous actors|artists in Hollywood don't live on a different planet. And they don't need our envy or worship. They're America's symbols of royalty depicting freedom from oppression as they pursue universal enlightenment in the humanities via their craft. Currently, they are fiercely oppressed by a mammoth opponent. Famous actors are gifts to our civilization and deserve our enthusiastic respect, empathy and supremely active support.Corp. is what it is. An actor or anyone in any other career field may implore massive conglomerate corporations to reform their ideologies. But who can suggest anything to these giants? Even the great don't have the resources to buy justice in a court battle with Corp. Hollywood. However, the people's response to corp's marketing ploys can trigger reform in high places. So, to those who have been understandably mislead, know that actors have to contend with 'The Man' in all aspects same as you and probably more so.Corp's campaign to control the arts would have to depend on that component of mankind which is unsympathetic to those appearing to live a lush lifestyle. Keep in mind, corp. is responsible for creating and perpetuating the 'rich icing 'upon the 'fake cake' of celebrity-ism. Don't believe it. In addition corp. doesn't publicly say much. They are abnormally quiet as a mouse except for silently investing in their highly publicized 'red carpet' events.The following can be deemed an accurate definition of most famous actors today. They are gifted artists forced into the stock market and investment business who work as actors to help supplement their income. Have you ever heard the statement, "I'm working as a waiter to be an actor?", which is impossible by the way. It's too exhausting and distracting from the creative environment which an artist must have least their muse and soul wilt.Some of our society's greatest actors have quit, never to return because: it's impossible to be a corporate artist (no such thing); the arts have been taken over by oppressive businessmen, 'corporate-land'; it's current economic opportunities can't support the enormous costs necessary for famous actors to live a safe, peaceful and private family lifestyle, while residing in a small,somewhat isolated city with little economic diversity located in a desert (L.A.)infested by gangs, paparazzi, and crazed celeb-biz fans. Where's the glamour,man?I mentioned actors deserve empathy too. Do you honestly think that 'The Man'would be so generous as to pay any of us more than just enough to get by with a little bit left over for savings while we swim in credit card interest payments?Dude, "all things being relative" doesn't stop at a famous actor's numeric bank balance. Just because their cage has more gold than us common folk who work for 'The Mister', well, it's still a cage. In addition just because actors are contracted to participate in undermining their own free artistic selves with the 'red carpet and talk-show, horse and pony act,' doesn't mean that they are the coveted wealthy tycoons which corp. would like you to believe. If one listens closely the actors are telling you different....TO BE CONTINUED CLOSING STATEMENTRegarding our arts, and quoting the music group Modest Mouse "this building is totally burning down!" This affects us all, man."The biggest fool is one who has all the facts but doesn't know what they mean."The information contained in this article is published common knowledge within the Hollywood arena. unFAME has merely connected the dots to this illusive corp. 'celeb biz' verses the arts puzzle revealing a clearer picture for the people outside that small circle.and there's more...unfame.com

I just wish Gillian really knew how much we all love, respect, and admire her. She may not live or care much for the States but we terribly miss her acting and would love to see much more of her on this side of the ocean!Also there are many, many, many of us that still watch and want another xfiles movie. The character Dana Scully she establish was the best role model for women I've ever seen.
