“The days of being a small club of intimates were over, and it’s been replaced with the glitz and glamor of a Hollywood scene.

Agree with the 1st point, firmly disagree on the 2nd. I never wanted a part of your Hollywood. Most of the producers I associate with don’t either. Of those in LA I’ve spoken with most, the general rebuttal to this is “you just don’t know how to play the game”.
