Oh man, I am sure the rest of my comment was going to be brilliant! If only I could remember what I was going to have said . . .

Yeah, that's the thing -- that, and serious acknowledgment of the work that goes into it, with Ginger's speech about people who are brilliant moviemakers who have found their calling who otherwise might never have. There's sort of a conflict between the plot/overt message, which dictates that Holy Wood needs to die, and the tone and feel of the book, which is kind of in love with cinema in spite of itself.
