And at every step, with every attempt, we failed...
There are several reasons FOA never lived up to its potential. We drank a lot. Members loved getting loaded and bullshitting each other until 2am. Venues were chosen specifically so that Andrew Breitbart could walk home drunk without having to hail a cab, and GOP-friendly bar owners would shut out regular patrons and proclaim 'open tap night; for the Abes. Believe it or not, all that drinking was simply not conducive to constructive, serious planning.
Also, the A-listers had their own projects going on. They had no desire to have ideas pitched at them by Clovis the gaffer. At no point in my five years with the Abes did Eastwood ever say something like 'Hey Mikelti Williamson, you were Bubba in ;Forrest Gump,' so I have to ask…what do you think my next film should be about?'
Another reason: 'faith-based films,' a fairly dependable genre, weren't in play for Abe consideration. There were too many atheist libertarians and secular (okay, atheist) Jews in the mix, who privately viewed their cross-wearing and churchgoing fellow Abes as irrational Neanderthals. There was a truce between the pro-religion and anti-religion Abes, but that armistice only survived because no one ever put it to the test."
Any objective non fearing person can see that is since the 80s the primary mind set that shapes film
Just describing that as you did will draw ire.
I had a girlfriend who worked for CAA back in the day
That’s Hollywood unless you’re too big for it to matter
And btw u described conservatives of that nature
Hollywood is 95% liberals of that nature Jewish or not
Imagine why the hostility to Christian themes and why so often were portrayed crazy negative
Accident my ass
The great TV Rural Purge which accompanied their rise was the watershed
There is one entertainment poster on this forum hates this sort of talk and will say nasty things to deny what’s so sadly obvious
