“When I started acting in the film industry when I was 16 years old, in 1980, I was going to all the revival theaters in Los Angeles. They were playing mostly films from the '60s and '70s, some from the early '20s and '30s, before that Hays commission. Those films did question things a lot, and there definitely was a switch in 1934. You can see very distinctly in 1934, it's harder to understand what the real culture was. Films made before 1934, you can really kind of see the racism, sexism, drug use, etc. that was going on at that time. And then it was all stopped.” YearsKindMadeRealUseFilmCultureActingIndustryDrugRacismHarderTheaterEtcLos AngelesSexismRevivalFilm IndustryHayDrug UseEarly 20s Author:Crispin Glover

“I'm a fan of Bill Hicks. He did things that no other stand up did at the time. He was making fun of religion, at that time it was a lot harder to say those things in the States than it was here. To slag off Christianity and fundamentalist Christians, and to be pro drugs and anti gun in the deep south, that's a big ask. And he did that and made it funny. Bill Hicks was able to say things that he really thought, and he managed to make those thoughts funny without a care if it antagonised people.” PeopleIfsMadeStatesBigsCareAbleChristianAsksFunChristianityFansDrugGunHarderBillsSouthMade ItFundamentalistAnti GunHicksSlag Author:Ed Byrne
