During the McCarthy Era, when actors and filmmakers were being blacklisted, the brave "Hollywood Ten," calling on their 1st Amendment rights, refused to testify in front of the House on Un-American Activities Committee. McCarthy was right...Hollywood is filled with Communist, pinko subversives...

"Coming Home" and "Born on the Fourth of July" showed America the harsh realities of war. What, that vets end up as drunks in Tijuana?
To: presidio9
"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner"
This dealt candidly with race issues? Embarrassing relic.

Poor Barbra. It's difficult not to feel sorry for her.

If something like this comes out of me, I at least have the decency to wipe and flush. |

"Schindler's List" tackled anti-Semitism and the atrocities committed during the Holocaust.Is this dolt trying to state that if it wasn't for "Schindler's List" we wouldn't have known how bad the Holocaust was?

Actually to a lot of people it's the primary cultural text about the Holocaust. Shown High schools and so forth.

Anyone who learns their history from Hollywood films should have their head examined.

Barbara does it again!
calling on their 1st Amendment rights, refused to testify in front of the House on Un-American Activities Committee
That's the 5th amendment, you idiot!

And what's wrong with that? If it weren't for her husband James Brolin, I would have no idea that Ronald Reagan condoned the HIV because it was God's way of punishing homosexuals.

What would we do with out these intellectual elitists in Hollywood?
How would we ever survive without their enlightenment?
Maybe Broke Back Mountain should be required viewing in our public schools.
Is it any wonder why box office ticket sales continue to drop.

"With every groundbreaking, courageous film that is produced, there are also films made that contribute little to the betterment of society."
Well, now...Isn't this an interesting statement...
TRUE or FALSE? Send your vote to the Academy...
To: presidio9
Ah yes, egotistical, narcissistic "actors" and "liberals" saving me and the world.
I feel so much better, enlightened and secure now.

Kirk making out with Uhura did more for race relations than "Guess Whos Coming to Dinner".
