Ha! Schwing! Flew way over your head there, could you get me an ice cream from
the concession stand?

Filmed in New York, but the production company is run out of Hollywood by MGM television studios (more specifically Beverly Hills, California).

And I know Mark Burnett is British.....

He shoots, he scores! Swish! Nothing but net!

As in , briefly mentioned , or does it get discussed to the level that anyone who watched this movie will know undeniably that Cheney was for gay marriage almost a decade before Obama or Hillary?

---

Being that you are so obsessed with this, let me tell you that the film does show that Cheney supported both his daughters. He showed compassion for his gay daughter in private (his wife Lynne, not so much). His daughter Liz he supported in public by backing her run for senate in 2014. But I believe
he made his support of his gay daughter public in 2004 (Source: Google).

As far as showing that he did it before Obama, no. But I don't think that was a big priority for the filmmaker. Quiet as it's kept, they did show that Cheney loved his daughters, and his wife. What exactly went on in that man's brain, well no one knows. That was one of the points the film made. He was one calculating S.O.B. and that's what was depicted on screen.

According to Time magazine (circa 2015), Obama initially opposed gay marriage during the 2008 campaign, but...

Quote:

Barack Obama misled Americans for his own political benefit when he claimed in the 2008 election to oppose same sex marriage for religious reasons, his former political strategist David Axelrod writes in a new book, Believer: My Forty Years in Politics.

“I’m just not very good at bullshitting,” Obama told Axelrod, after an event where he stated his opposition to same-sex marriage, according to the book.

Axelrod writes that he knew Obama was in favor of same-sex marriages during the first presidential campaign, even as Obama publicly said he only supported civil unions, not full marriages. Axelrod also admits to counseling Obama to conceal that position for political reasons. “Opposition to gay marriage was particularly strong in the black church, and as he ran for higher office, he grudgingly accepted the counsel of more pragmatic folks like me, and modified his position to support civil unions rather than marriage, which he would term a ‘sacred union,’ ” Axelrod writes.

...and here's another response from me...

Quote:

---

And I'm afraid that his virtue signaling not being to the level of your liking regarding gay marriage is soooo significant.

---

Dude, I really don't give a shit about Cheney's virtue, gayness or any other thing. If he wants to fuck a duck, that's his choice. Whatever he, or anyone else, wants to do. Fuck it,live your life, because it's none of my business.
But don't try to tell me anything, especially how I should live or think. Fuck Cheney, or anyone else for that matter. Every single human being on this planet has a friend or relative who's gay. How you or anyone else lives their life makes no never mind to me. Period. End of story.

Nope.

Production companies responsible for the show are Trump Productions and Mark Burnett Productions. Neither of which are based out of Hollywood.

It was Distributed by MGM Worldwide Television, which is based out of Beverley Hills, CA.


In other words, it's kind of like saying that Hollywood was responsible for the original Paranormal Activity movie.

Swimming with Sharks was great.

It should be required viewing for all millennial idiot kids. They'd learn more in 2 hours than in 4 years of high priced college that's going to make them wage slaves for the next 30 years of their lives.

Double Nope, laser brain........you're confusing the physical location of Hollywood with the production of television and film form of existence. "Hollywood" is a physical and philosophical state of mind.

MGM is a mainstream film and television production studio, or "Hollywood."
Where a film or TV show is filmed does not make it one thing or the other.
For example Silvercup Studios (where they use to make Silvercup bread)

"opened in 1983 and has established itself as the largest, independent, full-service film and television production facility in northeastern United States."

Established by two brothers, Stuart and Alan Suna...both film and television
productions have been made here:

30 Rock
Analyze That
Big Daddy
Big Lake Birth
Black Rain
Dark Water
The Devil Wears Prada

Now, does the fact that they were filmed at this studio make them independent?
Does the term "Hollywood" fit these films and TV productions? Is Silvercup
considered "Hollywood"? Does it's location change any of the above?

According to Wikipedia: "Mark Burnett is a British television producer who is the current Chairman of MGM Worldwide Television Group."

Mark Burnett Productions
3000 Olympic Blvd.
Santa Monica, California 90404
(562) 388-5155

MGM is one of the oldest film studios in the world, founded in 1924, and their HQ is located at 245 North Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA. MGM no longer makes movies, but...

"in 2014 MGM Studios Inc. acquired the majority share of
Ligtworkers Media and One Three Media, which were formed by Burnett and Roma Downey and consolidated the two companies into MGM's new TV production division, United Artists Media Group, with Burnett as CEO."
(Source: Google/Wikipedia)

The headquarters located in Beverly Hills, California (although the location is irrelevant). California is it's home, but what makes it "Hollywood" is that the parent company is Mainstream Hollywood...namely, MGM Studios.
"Hollywood" is a state of mind, you know this because you often refer to it
as being corrupt and devoid of any redeeming value. Yet "Hollywood" as we
know it is not so much a physical place, but more of an iconic land of "make-believe."

But, if you want to think of it as a physical place, there's always the "Hollywood" sign overlooking Hollywood, CA.

According to Trip Advisor:

Quote:

---

The term "Hollywood" usually refers to two distinctly different things:
1) The culture and lifestyle of being a celebrity (not a physical place); and
2) a neighborhood in Los Angeles where almost no celebrities live, and which is mostly an area set up for tourism around movie making.

---

According to Sports Studio:

http://sportsstudio.net/where-is-hollywood/

Quote:

---

If you’ve ever been to Hollywood, the place, you quickly realized that it isn’t what you thought it was going to be. When you went to the Walk of Fame or Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, you probably didn’t see Brad or Angelina or the Kardashians. You probably didn’t see a movie being filmed or a deal being signed. You saw the tourist attraction.

Hollywood, the real Hollywood, is a metonymy for the entertainment industry in Southern California. Hollywood is really located wherever there’s a camera rolling, a script being written, or an audition being held.

---

"Metonymy - is a figure of speech in which a thing or concept is referred to
by the name of something closely associated with that thing or concept."
(Source: Google)

So, you see, Hollywood isn't so much a place as it is an idea, a thought,
a dream, an alternate reality. In this case, the term "Hollywood" is a
metonymy, or general notion, for the film industry.
