Hollywood may be in its death throes, and deservedly so

Hollywood once supported America and family values; it’s now antithetical to them. This means that many Americans are rooting for its collapse during a writers’ and actors’ strike over an industry change as significant and destructive as the advent of the car was to carriage makers.

I’m a huge fan of pre-1960s movies, and I know a fair amount about the history of Hollywood. In Hollywood’s early years, the executives behind it were almost entirely Jewish immigrants who found a niche in a brand-new industry and filled it.

Throughout the 1920s and into the very early 1930s, movie plots got progressively more sordid. However, in the face of combined pressure from consumers and politicians, Hollywood cleaned up its act, producing family- and America-friendly movies for the next 35 or so years until the social compact started falling apart in the mid-1960s.

Beginning in the mid-1960s, Hollywood turned against America. This was in part because industry followed the Baby Boomers, who were a huge source of funds and who were moving left at warp speed.

The trend accelerated as Hollywood actors, few of whom were credentialed, figured that they could give themselves an intellectual gloss if they followed campus social and political trends. With bully pulpits, publicists, and unbounded egos, they gave unsavory, unwashed, and unhinged academic intellectuals glamor and reach.

Another thing to know about Hollywood, both past and present, is that it is now and has always been a place of unbridled debauchery. Where one finds power and money, one invariably finds pedophilia and other forms of sexual power politics and abuse.

Hollywood used to keep that sordid fact hidden from Americans. Over the last 20 years, though, it’s been marketing deviant sex to them, especially to youngsters.

It would be fun to watch the Hollywood elite, unable to afford their life styles, go into foreclosure and end up on the streets. One can dream can’t they?

Yep! M’boy plays baseball, football, basketball. Rides his bike. Hits drives at the local course. Goes swimming, fishing. Hits more drives at Top Golf. In a sports off season he goes to that sports camp. He has no clue who or what ABC, NBC, CBS are. Doesn’t know the call letters of any of the three local non affiliated stations. Hollywood and the nets and the streamers may be in for a big surprise in a few years.

Well it used to be Hallmark, but they bent at the knee of the Gaystopo a few years back. I’s say the Great American Family Channel maybe it now. A bit hard to find but Frndly TV has them and many other channels that are decent family channels for about $6 a month.

I watched the whole series. I never got tired of Bobbi and Amos.

Only because of the Hays Code. Hollyweird was weird long, long ago.

Sounds like he is a healthy, active and happy boy, raised very well by his parents! May there be more like him and my granddaughter.
