“That’s Hollywood – the crazy man holding signs, yelling at everyone that they must conform to his will or they are evil.”

*sigh* Follywood and tv Celebrities... Is there ANYTHING they don’t know?

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

QUOTES by ROBERT A. HEINLEIN

Robert A. Heinlein Quotes and Sayings!:

“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an actor is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he/she opens his/her mouth.”

— Robert A. Heinlein

Always loved The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, and Key Largo.

The Roaring Twenties is a good one too. And Angels with Dirty Faces...

Their name is really close to Redbit productions. Are they related?

“Did you mean to write “pubic school students?””

Yup, intentional, do it all the time. If nothing else, proggies are all about sex, all kinds of sex, at all ages. Including pubic school teachers.

Re: you found the Sidney Greenstreet/Peter Lorre pair believable...?

In my 70 years, from Texas to Hollywood & 'round the world back and back, I have run into more than one set of amoral characters who believe they are larger than life in their quests to do exactly as they please without any concern for the law or anyone else. Yes, they all could be played by Sid and Pete without them losing a beat, even the numerous female ones--

The taking of the sofa from the garbage compactor is most classic.
