Let Them Role Out.....the Goods.....
a: Hollywood ~
b: Detroit
What: "Indeed Hollywood has often been compared to Detroit". Both of these major industrial centers are engaged n the mass production of commodities. Detroit's output is more standardized,though manufacturer and model differentiate the automobiles that role off the assembly line."

a: Hollywood ~
b: under utilized Ferrari
What:
"That said, I think Hollywood's absolutely failing to live up to its capabilities; it could be using the artistic talent it's sitting on to make amazing things and it's using it to make generic things. It's like owning a Ferrari and never going further than the supermarket in it."

Hollywood
a: Hollywood culture ~
b: Disingenuous Friend
What: "Hollywood is like that friend you had that you thought you were really close to. You did lots of things together and enjoyed each other's company. Then you find out it was really one-way street. In fact, Hollywood couldn't care less about you (except your money...maybe) and is ready to bad-mouth you in public when it's not stabbing you in the back. Friends like that, who needs?"

a: Hollywood accounting ~
b: lawyering
What:
"Hollywood accounting is like lawyering. They find loopholes in the system and exploit them to their advantage. The less money a film 'appears' to make (or more money it 'appears' to lose), the less tax they have to endure as a company. It's exploitative accounting at its finest."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy
and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search.
The subject matter can be anything.
Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged.
The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with
the stark literalism of a relational database.
Metamia is like a girdle for your muses,
a cognitive girdle.
