Look at this Amy Fisher story. It's amazing but common. It does not surprise me at all that this high school girl is a prostitute and then shot someone in the head. I don't find that shocking at all. But if I had written that five years ago, people would have said that it was David Lynch ian or something stupid like that.
American culture is so homogenized now, vigorously, constantly asserting itself.
You definitely have an unfavorable view of Hollywood. It's not unfavorable, I just don't acknowledge them. When I would go to see a Hollywood film, I wouldn't see anything about my life. But then I would see a Preston Sturges film, which was made fifty years ago, and say this is about my life. But that was Hollywood in a different era.
