This sounds more like people who were once insulated from this kind of volatility are finally feeling the bite. sounds that way to me. Why else would it be such a surprise? Why else would it even be worth writing about? If hollywood wasn't a micro-economy insulated from the reality the rest of the nation has been feeling for years, there would be no reason to write this. >followed

Yeah, it was interesting but it definitely could have dug deeper in to the entire culture. There's something fascinating there though.

There are a lot of "sh*tbags" out there, unfortunately.
