"#President #FranklinDRoosevelt mobilized the #Hollywood #film industry to boost national morale and enhance understanding of the #UnitedStates’ participation in #WorldWarII.

#Jewish #directors and #screenwriters ranging from #GeorgeCukor to #BuddSchulberg played a significant role in wartime #filmmaking. They #produced #documentaries and #movies that were at once educational, entertaining and politically useful in the advancement of #US war aims.

As Michael Berkowitz observes in Hollywood’s Unofficial Film Corps: American Jewish Moviemakers And The War Effort (The University of Wisconsin Press), they were “extraordinarily effective” in assisting the US armed forces and binding #Americans together."

This is a great shooting-the-breeze/reminiscing conversation between actor Michael Biehn and director James Cameron. So many little film nuggets, for example, the origins of the line “I’ll be back” in Terminator.

Recommended — with a qualification: Biehn commits the worst sin a host can commit: he constantly interrupts his guest. And no viewer wants to hear Biehn when the guest is JAMES CAMERON! So, heads up.

Why is Hollywood such a mess?

This isn't the only reason, but it's a big one:

🏥 Cause of Death: planned obsolescence

I’m a person that invests in quality that will last. That kind of thinking doesn’t work in #tech when you can’t fix the things you buy or use it’s parts. Now I have a brick 🧱 of precious metals
