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?

"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?

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

"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...

Ah yes, egotistical, narcissistic "actors" and "liberals" saving me and the world.

I feel so much better, enlightened and secure now.

Well, she's right. For example, until recently, how many of us really knew how hard it was out there for a pimp? I mean, really knew? If we've thought about it at all, we probably saw the images of the stable of hot women and the fancy cars and clothes popularly associated with the pimping profession, and figured it must be pretty easy out there for a pimp. But we bought into something that wasn't true; a mere illusion. Now we know the truth, and I'd say we're all the better for it. I know I am.
