Hollywood

Late to the party as usual, we started watching Ryan Murphy's Hollywood on Netflix a few days ago.

I know it's gotten very mixed reviews (as does much of Mr. Murphy's work), with one reviewer dubbing it, "A ludicrous version of LaLa Land."

Whatever, Karen.

For me, it's been a wonderful and much needed escape from the awful gripping our country right now; water to a thirsty traveler in the desert, allowing me to slip into an alternate universe where there is a happy ending.

And that ending…oh my god. Tears were streaming down my cheeks during the final episode and I thought, "This is the soul of America. Fuck Trump and his flying monkeys. They are not this country. They are just loud," and when the credits finally rolled, for the first time I felt genuine hope for what will come of the turmoil we find ourselves in.

Be strong. Love wins.

  1. You definitely need to see the documentary Scotty Bowers and The Secrete Life of Hollywood. Ernie and Hollywood was based on his biography. It's great! So many rumors confirmed and if anything he seems to be an even nicer and more generous guy than the character. Also buy his book.
