This section of the site started with an essay about Hollywood, prompted by watching a few episodes of the HBO series, Entourage.

I then realized that I would be pursuing my graduate studies in media and communication and probably end up thinking and writing a great deal more about Hollywood before everything was said and done.

I have a strange combination of fascination and disgust with the Hollywood film industry, that is probably rooted in some genuine ideological disagreements I have with the excessive commodization of the film industry, mixed with a certain degree of respect and admiration (and possiblly envy) I have for a number of Hollywood film directors and producers not including Jerry Bruckheimer.

Hopefully, in the process of writing about the film industry, I'll come to grips with my inferiority complex.
