Hollywood has an illness that affects it right in the mindset.

It’s sort of like senile dementia, where the vicissitudes of old age can muddle thinking and memory.

However, this illness not only muddles thinking and memory, but the imagination as well, but it’s not caused by old age.

This disease is caused by youth, or to be more exact, an obsession with youth.

You see, the marketing gurus tell Hollywood that the youth market is the only target worth aiming for. This is because the experts say that they have not yet locked into the buying habits that will guide them for a lifetime, and once you have sold them something, you will have them hooked for life.

So Hollywood aggressively pursues not only the youth market but the idea of youth itself.

Maturity is considered akin to cancer, something to be avoided at all costs, and if it does happen to you, then you must fight it with Botox and cosmetic surgery, which is the Hollywood equivalent of chemotherapy, until your face is not only devoid of all signs of age, but of human expression as well.

Well, what's the point in striving for maturity and such when you expect to fall into a San Andreas (and tributaries) created abyss at any moment?
