Geez, take a position! Is it or isn't it?
Since a significant part of our population no longer learns to read and write, what difference, at this point, does it make?
I enjoy Pegg’s work. But the whole reason of watching movies is to escape. It’s candy for the brain.
To Hollywood, serious questions are raised by:
A transsexual parent, presented as normal, with anyone who thinks treating self-mutilation as if it could change a man into a woman or vice versa is crazy portrayed as an intolerant bigot (I assume - haven't watched it).
Glee, which may have more gay/bi/whatever characters than normal characters (Again, I assume - haven't watched it).
Modern Family, which presents gay "parents" as if they were normal parents (Again, I assume - haven't watched it).
It's not just that there are enough gay-themed TV shows and movies that you'd end up with a brokeback if you tried to hold all the DVDs. There is almost nothing else out there other than comic book characters.
And even Archie . . .
. . . and Green Lantern . . .
And other third-tier comic characters and their sidekicks are following along. Presenting one side of an issue, the same side of the same issue, day after day, isn't challenging or daring. It's dull. That's why those normal people who haven't given up completely on Hollywood either watch mindless trash like Fast & Furious 1, 2, . . . 7, or those superhero movies that haven't surrendered to the GLBHTQZ drumbeat. We know if a gay activist writer tries to ruin the movie, our greed friend will step in and . . .
With all the CGI I call them cartoon movies.
Yeah, he was great as Othello in “Hot Fuzz”.
