6 Things The Film Industry Wants To Keep Secret

Did you know the Star Wars films still haven't made a profit? That's because the studio distributes the film although the distribution branch is considered a separate company.

It detracts from the source's feel of credibility and the sense of seriousness about the subject matter. It doesn't add anything valuable to the material at all.
