Comments for From the Heart of Hollywood http://www.fromtheheartofhollywood.com Talking Shop from the Rational Exuberance offices! The office of my Production Company, Rational Exuberance, is next door to the office of Phil Leirness of Cinema Arts Entertainment. We talk shop every Monday morning around the water cooler from the Heart of Hollywood. Now listen in as we to what we talk about when you are not around.

Phil.... California IS NOT a right to work state, by the way!!! If CA and NY were right to work there would be no Screen Actors Guild or AFTRA. Here's a map - http://www.nrtw.org/rtws.htm PLEASE vote no! It's just like DVD - If they give us nothing now - why do we think they'll give us increases in three years once they know we have no leverage? RE: AFTRA vs. SAG.... It isn't artist vs. artist. It's artist (SAG) vs. a few senior employees and vested broadcasters who care more about protecting the institution (AFTRA) than their members. If AFTRA's contract goes forward, producers will go with the cheapie AFTRA deal (it'll become the SAG deal). ALL internet production will be non-union... networks are expected to start putting their pilots on-line first and it's gonna lose a lot of people a lot of decently paying work and residuals. In a few years they're gonna be calling all networks 'internet' services to get around our agreements. They will also know forever that SAG has no teeth. NO tells AFTRA that they can't fuck with our careers. We need something real in place so they can't just lock us out of the equation as media delivered over the internet continues to grow. Rock on, David I felt like I was there with all the mentions. :) The conversation will still be current next week since the AFTRA vote comes back (I think) on the 8th.

I didn't feel the casting was bad at all. I'm one of those "idiots" that didn't like Mystic River. I know you say that the performances were heightened and that was intentional, but making it intentional doesn't make how overdone the performances are okay. Gone, Baby, Gone for me is definitely the better film. Wow, I couldn’t disagree with you more about Gone, Baby, Gone. I didn’t feel the casting was bad at all.

Great podcast as per usual. I am still saddened by Heath's death but it may not have been because he was taking drugs...which also goes to show how the media exagerates news without even knowing the facts behind what they are announcing. And i do hope Johnny Depp wins for best actor, it is going to be the only reason for tuning in on the Oscars (if the show will be broadcast) Do you guys get to vote on best actor/director, etc… just curious since you guys said that those who vote are members of the Union in the business.

Hope you feel better soon. I'm shocked to hear the story about that dog. Having dogs myself and having worked at an animal shelter for twelve years it's beyond me how this can happen. I've signed the petition and put the link on our Muldersrefuge site. I hope the poor dog will find a great new home and Jamie will keep her job. That mayor should be fired though. No heart. Say Phil, your coughing sounds like mine, still I don't think it's possible I gave you my bronchitis. Poor man. I feel so sorry for you. Stay warm and eat CHICKEN soup!! A natural medicin! Linda You really sound ill Phil. Hope you feel better soon.

So... that should allay some fears over the story.

In this episode, you said that films did not make money (using Forest Gump as an example). I don't understand that. Could you elaborate on how that's even possible? According to Box Office Mojo it made Worldwide: $677,387,716. How is that not a profitable movie? Any explanation would be appreciated. Thanks Just started listening to the show - like it a lot.
