A "Glove" Film--II

Have I ever mentioned in this blog that "GARP" can refer to insurance people--the Global Association of Risk Professionals? When major movies are made, they normally have insurance on them, to my knowledge. And, whether it was very accurate or not, there was an issue made of film insurance in an older movie, "The Producers," 1968. [There seems to be a new movie called The Producers but I haven't seen it yet.]

A "Glove" Film

In The World According to Garp film, 1982, a baby was shown at the beginning. It wasn't really clear why and I had wondered. Later in the movie, the "magic gloves" were a black colour if I recall. And it's possible the filmmakers didn't really approve of the "black" side and the gay issues!? A nurse in the film, and her grown son, were both writers. I believe this film also referred to the "mix-up" that happened around the "Queen Lady" and some screenwriters!? Some parties intentionally wanted my friend, the Queen Lady, to be involved??? And I have to say, I believe those people were coming from a position of prejudice [not to mention "bearing false witness"--which is against the 10 commandments]. They didn't want to know or support the real facts. And it was also nearly 30 years ago when this film was made! *** Myself, I haven't quite had time to contact all the parties who needed to be updated. [It seems nobody else will do so, if I don't!?] And the police really are busy with their normal work--this project is somewhere on a shelf or a backburner for most of them!? So, I'll be doing what I can. Have also said before that if the "black" side wanted to have some sensible answers and to support what people on the "white" side did, it wouldn't bother me to help them. Whoever gets there first is the winner, as far as I'm concerned! [There have been parties competing, as I've stated many times; and even the "twin" parties weren't meant to be the final and deciding ones, I guess! (And nobody needs to feel bad if they think the "twins" have lost their case!)]

"The Hungry Bears"--???

If the RCMP have been represented by "bears" in some film/TV stories, there was a rumour about a year ago that the "bears" were getting hungry--and angry because of not getting paid yet!? Have also heard other indications that some RCMP people expected to get paid. So, it may not be an entirely non-profit thing even for the RCMP!? Or do I have the right facts? *** Have seen that police in different areas [not just RCMP] may have only a little knowledge about what's going on.--It's not as if each officer or even each police department has the whole story!? But we're working on it--trying to! [And it's not easy.... We'll keep trying!]

Police Profits, Or Not?

If the Canadian Mounties don't like to do things for a profit--like even their Musical Ride shows are free--they've left it up to the local police to make profits for and with Hollywood people, it seems!?--Although, strangely enough, not all the local police are properly informed about what's going on! But the fact of not-for-profit Mounties may be an issue in letting Doc Hollywood off the hook!?--Nobody was going to profit directly from his actions! [And there were reasons for them, at the time.] *** It's too bad the local police--chiefs and constables--are less qualified and informed of the issues! They've had problems dealing with them, it seems!? They're also not exactly financial geniuses, sorry to say! [Although it seems profits have been made--they're just sitting on them!] *** The western part of Canada was where they were getting things done better.--The east was left to be the "bad guys."--They were "East of Eden," as I've written about before. But people haven't been able to figure it out yet! And the west has been waiting for the east to handle the issues--maybe the west is guilty to the same degree on that account!? [It's hard for the parties to act when they're not aware of all the issues.] *** Anyway, am not completely sure the Mounties won't profit financially from this matter in the end? Don't have all the facts.

NOTE, added in March 2023:  Have learned that although some of the Mounties were working without expecting pay from the film/TV industry, some other Mounties HAVE made money, it seems!?  As far as I know, the money is sitting in a bank and hasn't been divided out to anyone yet...?

The Goatee--II

It seems to me the complaints about Doc Hollywood by other parties are more like competition and jealousy for business purposes!? Let people count how much money is involved and then we'll see where the motives are!--Not that myself or others have profited from any questionable activities. [I've had no financial profit whatsoever, so far.--Perhaps Doc Hollywood hasn't either--have never heard he had any concerns about finances--and he would've earned enough of his own income elsewhere.] The matter seems more like in-fighting to me! ***By all means, if there are serious concerns and if anyone intends to take action, let them do so. But they shouldn't say they're working in my interests if they're not in fact doing that!? And let's not drag this particular issue on any longer than necessary! People should either act, or get over it. [I also may not be completely finished with my own actions--of other types--if and when any matters become public. It seems to be troublemakers who want to expose undesirable actions in public!???]

The Goatee

Will have to reveal now that the original "Doc Hollywood"--in this blog-- has been known for wearing a goatee--a certain type of beard [or it's like an outline of one]. The goatee symbol has been used in film to represent Doc Hollywood's interests. And, myself, have seen that even people in other countries--real people--have used the goatee to show support for Doc Hollywood! [Am referring partly to relatives.] Sometimes men have grown a goatee for political purposes, it seems!? [Of course, it doesn't mean ALL men with goatees are aware of this matter.] *** Is it unpopular to show support, or charity, towards homosexual issues in this day and age? In North America and the western world, at least, it doesn't seem to be. Have said before that the majority seem to sympathize. *** Some other parties in the "police project" have been critical or even embarrassed of how "Doc Hollywood" has handled some issues in the past. And those issues have concerned myself--they've been around matters which related to me. HAS ANYBODY ASKED MY OPINION--DIRECTLY--VERY MUCH--ABOUT THESE THINGS? There's an issue now with the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Ontario, it seems!? *** Well, some people want to be heroes!? I've already explained a number of points in this blog and I've gotten past them. And people who stall and refuse to act aren't helping my life in any way!!! *** If somebody wants to make a complaint against "Doc Hollywood"--the one with the goatee--let them do so! I'm not asking to do it at this time; and I'm not even in a position to do that.--Nobody would take me seriously, to begin with--unless they were among those who wanted to take action. I also haven't ASKED anybody else to take action for me--not on that matter!!! [There have been more immediate concerns at hand, although I'm HOPING we're moving away from them--slowly, slowly...?] And for the record, if anyone decides to take official action, I believe the matter should be made known--at least to my family and me. My family has been almost completely in the dark about all the activities--and it hasn't been helpful to me. [For a time, it was helpful that my sister put some pressure on me; but there are also limits to family pressure and disputes--they'll be destructive in the long run.] *** Also, if anyone wants to make an official complaint, the investigators could examine my views by reading entries under the Doc Hollywood label here!!!!!! Have explained the matter to the best of my ability, although I have a LITTLE more in my official business report! [It wouldn't have to be a long story, in other words.]
