The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) – trailer
bfi: “One of the most enjoyable movies Hollywood made about itself, this warts-and-all portrait of a ruthlessly ambitious producer is also, one suspects, among the most truthful.”
The title makes this sound trashy, but even 50 years after seeing it only once, I can vaguely recall that this was a classic.

Such a great film! One of the best films about hollywood and what it does to people.i have the black and white version and colorized version of it...Lana should've been nominated for an Oscar for her performance and should've won an Oscar for her performance ..Gloria Graham is good in this film and a great actress but her 10/15 mins on screen in this film definitely didn't deserve an Oscar nomination or an oscar win for best supporting actress, Lana should've won this! It's one of her best performances!
But we all know the academy always snubs some of the best talent!!
@madamex812 Fickle, fickle, Oscar! I guess we know, from your screen handle alone, who your favorite actress was. I saw this picture 50 years ago, on ABC's The Early Show, after school. It was the first time I’d ever seen Gilbert Roland, Dick Powell, or Gloria Grahame. It made a profound impression on me, even though I remember little beyond the flashback storytelling style. Of late, I've repeatedly played and re-posted Raksin's stunning score. I didn't recall Lana Turner from it, but about a year ago, I saw The Postman Always Rings Twice, and she and Julie Garfinkle blew me away.
Suite of David Raksin’s Score

"Green Energy" = dead whales and other marine life: https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2023/03/08/exclusive-as-whale-deaths-mount-jersey-shore-leaders-warn-green-wind-farms-will-destroy-their-home/
The ocean is supposed to be one of our new sources of "green energy". Wave energy, underwater turbines, floating solar collectors and wind energy generators...But in New Jersey just one floating wind generating project may be responsible for numerous sightings of dead whales. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), insists no evidence ties the whale deaths to wind energy development but local people don't believe it.
I have no idea if this wind farm is actually killing whales but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a connection. You can't fill coastal waters with all sorts of floating platforms and other types of energy gathering equipment without affecting the environment, whether warming the water, interfering with sonar used by whale and dolphins or creating pollutants that contribute to red tides that kill marine life there's going to be an impact. In order to generate enough energy to supply a growing population of 100's of millions of people (for the US, worldwide could be billions) that impact would be monumental.
There is no such thing as "green" energy, whatever these so called green energies replace, they will have a correspondingly equal impact on the environment. Possibly even worse than whatever they replaced.
Green energy is what is supposed to make population growth OK, we'll just live cleaner to compensate for more people. The woke have worked too hard to equate criticism of immigration with racism, they simply cannot acknowledge that a growing population in the US could be an problem and that mass immigration is the only reason it is a problem.
