TV and movie comparisons/ Angel season 3 ep 1 "Heartthrob" question
This is my Jul. 2022 blog post:
Should I continue into TV production? (Part 4)/ Why do you want to be a TV writer?
Sept. 4, 2022 My life purpose: It seems like I'm not going to be able to become a TV writer and producer.
My life purpose is to entertain and make people happy, educate, and inform people as a writer/ blogger.
When you read these "TV and movie comparisons" about creative writing and screenwriting, I hope you are entertained by this and learn about writing.
Nov. 21, 2022 There is a video tape of a character doing something bad and illegal. Another character has the videotape and blackmails the other character:
My script idea: I had thought of something like this before in 2011-2012. A character is forced to work as a stripper for the bad guy at his strip club. If she doesn't, he will go to the police with something on her.
I'm sure some of you guys are reading this and like: "What kind of story is that?"
When a bad guy blackmails someone, you're supposed to get money and/ or to get them to do something hard or difficult that the bad guy can't do themselves.
In TV and movies, and real life, there is a bad guy who threatens to hurt the good guy's friend, family member, or loved one to get the good guy to do something for them.
The Cleaning Lady: If you don't want to be spoiled, skip this part.
In season 2, there is a video of Fiona's son Chris getting into a fight with his uncle Marco, and he pushes him, and Marco falls down the stairs. He dies.
The Motel Owner has a videotape of this and blackmails Fiona to give him $10K because of the lost business with the police spooking all the guests.

I remember way back in 2011- 2012, I was telling Angela about the story idea.
Angela: If you're being forced to do something, you go to the police.
Yeah, but not for The Cleaning Lady storyline.
A Bad Guy points a gun at the Good Guy to rob them. This happens in TV, movies, and real life to:
-open the cash register
-open the safe
-open the vault
Seventeen magazine: I read this in 2007. A teen girl was chatting with someone online, and he said he was going to hurt or kill her and her family if she didn't take off her clothes on webcam.
She did and as she was doing it, she was crying.
Now she's 100% victim because someone threatened to hurt and kill her and her family.

Jan. 11, 2026: I should have titled this "grey issues/ TV and movie comparisons."
I called this "TV and movie comparisons" because I wrote about fictional TV shows and movies.
I should have called this a "grey issues" because I also wrote about real people on talk shows and news magazine shows, and my real -life examples.
This blog post will be a companion blog post to the above.
Justin Berry (and taking off your clothes on webcam):
May 24, 2024 My opinion: The Seventeen magazine story is kind of a fuzzy memory to me. I want to know:
1. Did her address show up and this proves this guy on the internet knows where she lives?
If he knows her address, then she is in real and present danger.
2. Did he say to her:
"If you close or turn off the webcam,
tell your parents and guardians,
and call the police,
I will kill you"?
Jan. 11, 2026:
3. Was this girl alone at home and she couldn't go to her parents and guardians because they weren't there?
4. Was there a sibling there, and they are younger or older, they might still say: "I'll call the police" and the girl slowly takes off her clothes?
If you're forced to do something, you call the police:
However, you usually report to the police like after the crime has been committed and not during it.
A teen takes off his or her clothes on webcam:
Jul. 15, 2024 W- Five: I watched this newsmagazine show. This was probably in 2003-2004. They profiled a teen girl with a webcam. She post some pictures showing off her body and wearing tight and revealing clothes.
She talked about and showed that she gets gifts like VHS tapes of movies from people who go to her site.
Jan. 11, 2026 My opinion: I was 18 yrs old when I watched this.
Pros:
1. She didn't take off all her clothes on webcam.
2. She didn't do anything sexual on webcam.
Con:
1. She was posing in a sexually -suggestive way.
There is a photo of her lifting up her shirt to show her bra.
A photo of her laying on the bed and showing off her legs.
If she was wearing tight and revealing clothes, and standing and sitting there, and not posing in a sexually -suggestive way, than that would be fine.
Strippers:
Someone is being forced to work as a stripper:
Jul. 15, 2024 "Instagram influencer jailed for trafficking and slavery": Today I found this article by Hannah Price on BBC Eye Investigations and Yahoo. This is where women were forced to work as a stripper.
Here's an excerpt:
Within weeks, Desirrê says Torres pressured her into working at a local strip club, saying if she did not comply Desirrê would have to repay all the money she had spent on her: flights, accommodation, furniture for her room, and even the “witchcraft” Torres had performed.
Desirrê says not only she did not have this money, she also believed at the time in the spiritual powers Torres claimed to have, so when Torres threatened to curse her for not following orders she was terrified.
Reluctantly, Desirrê agreed to work as a stripper.
A manager from the strip club, James, told the BBC she would work extremely long hours, seven days a week.
Desirrê and Sol say the women in the Austin mansion were subjected to strict house rules. They describe
being forbidden from speaking to each other,
needing Torres’ permission to leave their rooms
- even to use the bathroom
- and being required to immediately hand over all earnings.
“It was very difficult to, you know, get out of the situation because she holds your money,” Sol told the BBC.
“It was terrifying. I thought something could happen to me because she had all my information, my passport, my driving licence.”
But Sol says she realised she needed to somehow escape after overhearing a phone call in which Torres was telling another client she must work as a prostitute in Brazil as a “punishment”.
Sol was able to leave with the help of an ex-boyfriend.

W- Five: I remember watching this in 2003-2004 and my memory is kind of fuzzy. The host Victor Malarek interviewed this woman who came to Canada and had to work as a stripper to pay someone back.
She gets paid $10 for a lap dance, and $8 goes to this other person (I think it was her boss?) She has to do 500 lap dances.
She then had a friend who was able to help her get out of the strip club.
Jan. 22, 2026 My real -life examples:
2009: I wrote about this before. I was working at the Soup Place #1, and my 40 -something yr old friend Sherry came by.
Sherry: I knew this woman who had really bad dyslexia and she couldn't read so it was hard for her to get a job. She had a baby so she could get on welfare and then would get income every month.
Tracy: What if she got a job cleaning?
Sherry: She wouldn't know which bottle is soap and which is bleach if both bottles are the same color.
Tracy: Well she might draw a heart on the bottle as a way to know what it is. Or she can work as a stripper where you don't have to read.
My opinion: I wasn't trying to be mean, funny, or snarky. I really thought of that solution.
Will Trent: I was watching this TV show and Will has dyslexia.
He has an app that reads for him.

TV and movie comparisons- Justin Berry/ strippers/ sugar babies
Dec. 25, 2023 Real life examples: I know this young woman in late teens Br and she worked at my Hotel Restaurant job. This was like in 2013.
Br: If I didn't get this job, I was going to work at Diamonds (the strip club.)
Br was still struggling financially.
This was probably in 2015. I met this 20 yr old woman Bo at the Hotel Restaurant job. She was eating 1 meal a day at the restaurant she worked at before getting this job.
Tracy: Have you thought of working as a stripper?
Bo: Shh... my mom was a stripper and I don't want to be anything like her.

Jan. 22, 2026 My opinion: I wasn't trying to be mean, funny, or snarky.
I wasn't trying to hurt her mentally and emotionally by hurting her feelings.
I wasn't trying to hurt her physically by trying to get her to put herself in real and present danger.
I really thought of that solution.
Jan. 3, 2026 Human trafficking and sex trafficking:
FBI S8 Ep 5 "Falsetto":
"Maggie partners with Eva to hunt a killer after a shocking daytime stabbing. After a subsequent murder, they realize the assassin has a hit list."
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38164706/?ref_=ttep_ep_5
In the episode, there are these young woman who are dressed in tight dresses and they're auditioning by singing.
The woman host gets shot.
Maggie and Eva interview one of the women Mirabel:
Mirabel: I heard of this job from a friend of a friend who was kind of sketch (sketchy) about this rich guy who likes to party. If you can sing and dance, you can get on the boat and get paid crazy money for 10 days. If he really likes you, you can stay there longer.
You don't have to have sex with him unless you want to.
Maggie: They told you this at the audition?
Mirabel: Yeah. Am I in trouble?
Maggie: No, but you would be if you got on the boat.
Maggie and Eva start to leave.
Mirabel: Can I get my passport back?
Maggie: You gave them your passport?
Mirabel: Yeah, in case we would be leaving the country after this.
Gaps of knowledge: Mirabel did say the "friend of a friend was kind of sketch" so she did know this is kind of bad.
My opinion: There wasn't a scene where Maggie and Eva talk to the group of women:
"You guys are going to be sex trafficked if you get on that boat.
Please be more careful and aware of this.
You should not give your passports to someone you don't know."
The audience and viewers who are watching this and learned this or already know that.
This is edu- tainment. This show educates and entertains people.
Sugar babies:
