Jody Mckeegan

It is here also that Jan, the gurl that Jody had met at the hotel breaks down.   Jan had decided that she was gonna leave Los Angeles.  Bcuz of what had happened to her.  She was feeling ashamed of what she had done.  In this part Jody tells Jan that she has done much worst all in the name of trying to become a  Hollywood star. Jody said that she had lied, stolen, cheated. I think Jody is feeling the pain of regret from her poor choices

Jody Mckeegan

I was reading about how Jody's friend Jan, was manipulated into performing lude acts, just to try to get a part in a movie.  I found it to be sad, because here this girl clearly realized she  her  compromised herself just to try to get into the movie business

Jody Mckeegan

I liked the way Jon Carpenter introduced the Jody Mckeegan story,  his story seemed to flow with ease. I mostly liked Lindy's character at first.  Her character was strong willed  and bright.  On the other hand I don't understand how she could have allowed herself to betray her mother.  Lindy's affair with Quentin was ridiculous and so unfortunate.  I guess she just gave in to him pursuing her.  But then the fact that she got pregnant was even worse.  Quentin was nothing but a predetor from the start.  I thought she had seen that in him.

Payday

i really do not know what to write about Payday, because i don't get the suppose of this film. First, we watch RipTorn being crud to his groupie girlfriend, then being delightful to the new girlfriend. Then we see Torn going hunting with some friends, and then later on in this film, he killed some guy then drives himself into suicide BOOM The End. But one thing i get understand is that carpenter's give me a taste of the raw early 70s of Hollywood and the struggle of being famous. while in the movie Taxi diver at the beginning of the film, he can't sleep, drinks heavily, pops pills, and spends his mornings driving Taxi and his night going to a porn theaters. After Betsy rejects him, Travis becomes crazy, violent, and obsessive. Then at the end of the film, he became a hero for killing some bad guys even though that wasn't his intention but i can see why that was the case. Because the audience is the people in the movie and not us.

Payday

In all honesty, I don't think I've ever come across a character that I've hated more than Maury Dann.
But most of all I understand his character to be made just horrible, because there isn't a single instance in which he is in any way relatable or redeemable. Majority of the film, I had been under the impression that everyone was bad. I don't even feel comfortable with excusing the driver. While he hasn't done anything explicitly wrong. He turned a blind eye to the actions of the others whom have
Basically normalized rape, assault and in the end murder. It's amazing to me though, that while I dislike almost all characters in this film, I still feel bad for them. Pity, mostly but I suppose the fact that I feel bad at all is what make this a successful film. I'm positive that good film and good books have to make you question your beliefs, and your ability to understand a situation. And that aspect this film did just that.

FILMSA

FILMS ARE GREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

comparing of carpenter

well I think that behind the scenes in the world of country music there was alot of drugs parties and fast life.  Hollywood is the same way of course you had the drugs and so on.  But you also had the pressure of wanting to be on top.   even the country singers had to deal with the pressure of being a celebrity.  They had to adapt to the life that came along with all of the glitz and glamour. It was ruff they had to travel all around just to keep themselves current and  on the peoples minds
