Early December, 2005 -- This is a review of a film I have not seen, and will never see. How can such a thing be a rational activity? Let's imagine that we found out that Hitler was still alive, living in Hollywood, and was making a film about Jews. Would you be willing to join me in guessing how he might treat the subject? Of course you would. It has to do with past activities by the artist. There's a pattern there in some cases. For example:

Clooney Murrow Movie a Film Flam

The movie above got rave reviews from the old line media, and from what the old line media often refer to as the "alternative" media. (Pure socialist sources like the Village Voice and PBS radio.) The television commercials about our subject, here (Hollywood personality George Clooney's new movie, Syriana) imply that this film is about oil. If so, then it portrays what Clooney, a typical wild-assed and brainless Hollywood liberal, sees as the deceptive practices of the giant energy corporations as they slip into bed with, among others, American government officials who are on the conservative side of the political spectrum. Perhaps a G.W. Bush surrogate will lurk somewhere in this story. Certainy a stand-in for Vice President Cheney is a real possibility. No doubt, there are people for sale in Europe and in oil country (the Middle East), as well. To do this film, the writer and director will have had to ignore all factual evidence relating to the topic..(snip)

Do not consume their products. It's really that simple.

It's nice to read an expose of the hypocrisy of the Hollywood Left, but I notice another citation of Senator McCarthy as a member of HUAC.

I guess that particular mistake (which should be obvious) has become universal.

oh no, i got better than that. normally i would just not patronize the commie war propaganda, but i can sneak into my local 20 plex theatre very easily so i think i'll take a stroll down there and sit in on their little showing and exercise a little free speech at oppourtune times in the movie. as a public service ya know?
