"Hollywood Has Left Los Angeles" by Lane Brown
“It’s so grim, like a sad company town where the mill is closing,” says one executive. “It’s morose, and everybody’s scared,” says the actor and director Mark Duplass. “It’s a bummer to live here now,” says a writer.

YouTube has entered the chat for who has the most juice in entertainment.
