Its practices are more diffuse; its final product, less tangible; and Hollywood has adopted public-relations strategies that portray it as environmentally conscious. In Hollywood's Dirtiest Secret, Hunter Vaughan offers a new history of the movies from an environmental perspective, arguing that how we make and consume films has serious ecological consequences." - taken from back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references, filmography and index -- subtitle on verso 'the hidden environmental costs of our screen culture'ISBN: 9780231182416Contents: Introduction: The Big Picture -- Chapter 1: Burning down the house: fire, the eco-ethics of destruction, and authorship in the film spectacle -- Chapter 2: "Five Hundred Thousand Kilowatts of Stardust:" resource use and the formula for packaging nature in Singin' in the rain -- Chapter 3: Winds of change: twister and the visualization of environmental disaster in the digital age -- Chapter 4: Apocalypse tomorrow: Avatar and the myth of Earth's end in the digital era -- Chapter 5: The fifth element: production culture studies, relational values, and the human side of environmental media -- Conclusion: An element of hope

They include films from genres as far ranging as musical, film noir, melodrama, comedy, and action adventure. Such movies seduce us with the promise of revealing the reality behind the camera. But, as part of the very industry they supposedly critique, they cannot take us behind the scenes in any true sense. This paradox - the simultaneous debunking and celebration of Hollywood - lies at the heart of the genre. Through close analysis of the best of these films. Ames reveals how the idea of Hollywood is constructed (and constructs itself), particularly through such moments of explicit self-referentiality as the movie-within-a-movie and scenes set in studiosNotes: Includes filmography (p. 227); Includes bibliographical references (p. 238-244) and indexISBN: 0813120187 (cloth : alk. paper)LON: 12952826
