Your video reminds me of something that Stan Laurel said, and that I found while reading through
http://www.lettersfromstan.com/index.html:
"Modern Hollywood," said oldtime comedian Stan Laurel, "is a shrinking island surrounded by money-grabbing, back-stabbing and too much politics."
"There is increasing politics in getting jobs because there are fewer movies. And there is the other kind of politics—with performers offering their opinions on national issues as if their opinions were important. Who are they after all? What right have they to impose their thoughts on the public, which certainly knows as much as they do? I think some of our stars are beginning to believe their publicity—they're taking themselves too seriously. Nobody else does."
