OLD ways vs NEW ways of thinking in Hollywood !
My point was further explained nicely in a recent article in thenewyorktimes,tuesday,april15,2008, "Bridging the gap, the sequel" by Laura M. Holson. This article leads me to my title, "OLD ways vs NEW ways of thinking."
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, only this time I will not elaborate as much to make my point, reading my other articles goes more in depth on the topic. The New York Times Article helps prove my point. The essence of Mrs Holson's article is the cultural differences between Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Again, Old way vs. New way of thinking. Hollywood is thinking for today, lets not think for tomorrow, definitely not next year, whereas Silicon Valley often capitalizes on planning for the future and strengthens from failure, needless to say, one failure in Hollywood and your done, things tried, failed and learned, vs. tried, failed, never to be seen again. There are going to be failures, and there have been many in Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Hollywood has a readily captive audience, that forgives ,and forgets, and is an audience asking for new waves of creativity.
I will use quotes to show some very fine points Mrs Holson captures in her article, " how each culture approaches failure, Silicon Valley, to a point, celebrates it, while "entertainment creators" in Southern California distance themselves fast enough from anything that might be a bomb. And Hollywood talent likes a success story, but only if it is their own," well said! This is the point I explained in my articles, if they, Hollywood, can claim credit immediately, they will, Hollywood today, unlike years past, if it takes a new creative way of thinking, it's wrong and will not be accepted, not worth the time, and as I've said in my other articles, this is why there has been an absence of quality content in television / film, but things are changing for the best.
