"NBC introduced recent hollywood movies to prime time in September 1961 with the premiere of NBC Saturday Night at the Movies. hollywood movies became an increasingly important component of prime time schedules; each network scheduled movies at least two nights a week in the 1960s. When the Hollywood studios began to license their recent feature films for television in the early 1960s, they set off a bidding war that raised the cost of all programming. In 1965 the average price for network rights to a feature film reached $400,000; in three years that figure had doubled." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"In this way did discussions of pharmaceutical firms become like discussions of hollywood movies. It was all about market presence. And, try as Bill Steere might, he could no longer force Pfizer's growth from within. For more instant successes, he would have to go shopping. The company he would eventually buy would not only make Pfizer number one, but it would forever change the way the world did business with Pfizer, for better and for worse.

"Since this material had been widely publicized in best-selling books, television talk shows, and even a number of hollywood movies, I expected that it would not be difficult to make my point. I referred to a number of thanatological studies that had independently confirmed that during out-of-body experiences in near-death situations, disembodied consciousness is capable of perceiving the immediate environment, as well as various remote locations, without the mediation of senses." - Stanislav Grof, When the Impossible Happens: Adventures in Non-Ordinary Reality (Get the book.)

Between 1948 and 1954, more than forty anti-Communist films came out of Hollywood. Even the American Civil Liberties Union, set up specifically to defend the liberties of Communists and all other political groups, began to wilt in the cold war atmosphere." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)

"The stories generally consisted of adaptations of famous novels, Broadway plays, or Hollywood movies; performers often were stars of Hollywood or the New York theater. Lux Radio Theatre, hosted by Cecil B. DeMille, featured movie adaptations performed by movie stars, who spoke to DeMille about their latest theatrical releases. The best of these drama series was the Mercury Theater of the Air, a program created by Orson Welles and John Houseman using members of their New York theater troupe." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.) "As radio entwined individual listeners into a national civic culture, it also introduced them to other forms of national culture—a culture of popular entertainment created by hollywood movies and radio programs and a culture of consumption created by advertising and mass-produced goods. In the United States, where the federal government had allowed private companies to control broadcasting, radio helped to create a national culture that is an unruly mixture of politics, advertising, and popular culture." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"Now we have multi-channel television, hollywood movies and the media in general, to whip up the emotional response to events that leads people to 'fight for their country' and support governments that send them to kill and be killed. Unless we operate from a level of awareness beyond emotional reaction, the Matrix will continue to construct our reality. Problem-Reaction-Solution depends 100 per cent for its success on this response system, and the Fear of Not Surviving Program, located in the reptilian brain, is the central target." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)
