If only...because that is sure what the liberals would do.
That said, how does the saying go...you never let a serious crisis go to waste?
It appears to me that some seem surprised about the revelations regarding the activities of those involved in the movie industry.
The abuse and mistreatment of women and youths (male & female) in movie industry has been there since day one. It appears that society just did not want to talk about it or deal with it, for the most part.
Note: porn movies (silent) before the ‘talkies’ were quite popular in the ‘20’s. When I was a kid in the early ‘60’s I can remember ‘drive-ins’ showing ‘X’ rated films.
The video entertainment industry has always been a cesspool of abusive and sexist behavior, because sex sells and those in the sex trade know that it is relatively easy money. And no one gender was worse than the other when it came to exploitation. Prostitution is possibly the oldest profession.
My mother has a friend, an older movie star, who started out at the end of the ‘silent’ era, and she told my mother some of the women working in the industry, treated the young males and females as meat for the bosses.
If the behavior of the moguls and actors of the movie industry is acceptable to you than don’t act indignant and lie about it by acting as though in shock that such occurs.
If it is not acceptable don’t support it. Read books, make on use of the canvas of your mind for imagery, learn something.
On that note, movies about history rarely do it well; ie, the William Wallace in ‘Braveheart’ was not the real William Wallace.
I have not personally owned a TV for about 30 years, I have not been to a movie theater in almost as long. I do not rent or pay for video’s. Occasionally there are films (mostly science fiction where I am intrigued by the special effects or some comedies) that I may watch if the opportunity presents itself, but I never pay for the chance. I do not financially support the video entertainment industry.
(I will get children’s movies for my kids & grandkids but if they cross the line in any way they are out, my kids will attest to the fact the I had no qualms about destroying what I viewed as trash- music & movies, and I am not religious)
For the matter I am not a professional sports voyeur either. I do not attend professional games of any kind nor do I watch them.
Well that is my rant of the subject
