everybody comes to hollywood
they wanna make it in the neighborhood
they like the smell of it in hollywood
how could it hurt you when it looks so good


shine your light now
this time it’s gotta be good
you get it right now
’cause you’re in hollywood

there’s something in the air in hollywood
the sun is shining like you knew it would
you’re ridin’ in your car in hollywood
you got the top down and it feels so good

everybody comes to hollywood
they wanna make it in the neighborhood
they like the smell of it in hollywood
how could it hurt you when it looks so good

i lost my memory in hollywood
i’ve had a million visions, bad and good
there’s something in the air in hollywood
i tried to leave it but i never could

there’s something in the air in hollywood
i’ve lost my reputation, bad and good
you’re ridin’ in your car in hollywood
you got the top down and it feels so good

music stations always play the same songs
i’m bored with the concept of right and wrong

everybody comes to hollywood
they wanna make it in the neighborhood
they like the smell of it in hollywood
how could it hurt you when it looks so good


’cause you’re in hollywood
’cause you’re in hollywood
in hollywood

check it out, this bird has flown



’cause you’re in hollywood
’cause you’re in hollywood
in hollywood

push the button
don’t push the button
trip the station
change the channel

los angelas sehrinde bulunan bir yer. istanbul’ in caddesi gibi bir yer ancak uzunlugu daha kisadir. kaldirimlarinda pembe yildizlar bulunur ve bunlarin icinde hollywood ’da emegi gecmis yildizlarin isimleri yazilidir. (bkz: the simpsons)

görüntü,ses,efekt,kostüm,dekor,ışık...
her şey tek kelimeyle mükemmel!!!
ama gerçeklik?
yok!
olsun yine de avrupa sinemasına ya da kısa filme tercih ederim.

sanattan çok paranın önemli olduğu,sinemanın bir sermaye haline getirildiği ve sanatı seven insanların kendisine nasıl destek çıktığını anlamadığım parayla çalışan makine.

siyasi ideolojinin enjektorudur.amerika simeya gereken hassasiyeti gostermistir bu sayede ciddi bir maddi ve manevi guc kazanmıstır. sıklıkla entellektuel cevrelerce elestirilse de harikulade filmler cıkartmıstır.hala anti komunist tavrını ve dunya koruyuculugunu ekseriyetle gosterir.faka buna karsı saglam filmler de yapmıstır su an aklıma gelen ornek (bkz: fight club) dır. ne kadar elestirilirse elestirilsin gucu asla eksilmez.

like i understood

like, like, like


away, runaway, is there anybody there
get away, get away, get away

this is not hollywood

ahanda sözleri:

it ain’t for everybody
welcome to hollywood baby
-take my picture
i’m comin with
-let’s not even talk about it
let’s do it
-let’s go

[beyonce]
i see your jealousy as you’re watching (i see you watching)
you’re watching ( it’s all good)
it’s kinda sexy to me (i love it)
how you’re watching, you’re watching
i see your face (i see your face)
you want to touch it (you want to touch it)
come to my place (come to the crib)
and let’s discuss it (let’s chop it up)
tonight you’ll be (you ’gon be a superstar baby)
a superstar
come let me sign you up (let’s get into it)

[chorus]
ooh it’s the lights (you’re blinded by the...)
action! (you need that...)
hollywood (uh uh uh uh)
ooh it’s the lights (you’re blinded by the...)
satisfaction (you need that...)
hollywood (uh uh uh uh c’mon)

[verse 1]
paparazzi spots me in the lobby of my high rise
i hide, behind my shades because the fame is blindin my eyes
my god, i know how ozzy oz must have felt when he was outside
cuz i have got, i have got to make this stop
people often warn me that the fame ain’t for the faint of heart
it’ll change those cuz if they had love for you into strangers
when the fame starts, a chain reaction
locomotion like when a train departs
stranger things have happened
rappers stackin platinum plaques
born in brooklyn, got a place in manhattan
goin back to brookly to escape the madness
chris & gwyneth when your girl is more famous than you
then it’s time to get all your windows tinted
keep your eyes squinted it’s gon flash any minute
the music biz is like musical chairs
when the music stop spinnin it’ll...

[chorus]

[beyonce]
you got to get it (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
do you want it? (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
but you don’t need it (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
’til you do, ’til you do (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

[verse 2]
hey mister, page sixer
a-lister, you’re in the midst of
the bright of your light, but you gotta keep them hits up
can’t put your guard down, gotta keep your mits up
take a sip sir, it’s so intoxicating ain’t it?
try not to get jaded
hollywood’s been good to ya
startin to feel like buzz to ya
don’t lie, go on fly, you’re addicted to the light
without the fame, how you gonna survive?
it’s like bein on heroin, you so high

[beyonce]
and everybodies warning you about it (i tried to told you)
and once you taste it you can’t live without it (it’s addicting)
not cuz you choose to not live without it (you sure you want this baby)
it’s now a part of you, it’s now a part of you (it’s a part of you)
and everybodies warning you about it
and once you taste it you can’t live

[chorus]

[verse 3]
wanna be seen now, groupies
now you’ve become what you once despised
james dean, john belushi, blow your whole life trying to live in the lights
heroin’s following, marijuane hopping over the edge
it’s like janis joplin
red bull fiend ask jimi hendrix
jimmy morrison all them ended by hollywood
thank god for hollywood
hollywood...
you sure you want this babe?
it’s hollywood, the most addicting drug in the world
want the fame
want the lights

bir saliva sarkisi.


here i am again, sitting watching all these people that i’ll never see again.
good-bye to all my friends.
i’m leaving this place and i’m never lookin back again my friend.
cause i’m goin to hollywood.
i’m chasin my dreams again.
i’m goin to hollywood, and i’ll never be the same.
it keeps turnin round and everything seems fine and dandy here in tinseltown for now.
what do you make of it?
when everybody’s doin drugs and makin promises like this.
cause i’m goin to hollywood.
i’m chasin my dreams again.
i’m goin to hollywood, and i’ll never be the same.
