Is tastefulness returning to H-wood?

Not really - being so damned stupid most of them depend on their handlers' opinions. Let's hear it for most of the handlers.

It was disgraceful that a homosexual's pleas for gay marriage was applauded while Jerry Lewis's 40 plus years work for MDA got minimal recognition when they should have stood up. This current crop of Hollywood lacks class, education and a moral compass.

You don’t even follow what your profile professes!

Au contraire, mon ami. I believe Psalm 37 is quite apt as it relates to this subject.

“... Carey Underwood ...”

-

America needs a bit more Carey Underwood, and a bit less Ellen.

That’s the problem basically, in a nutshell. :)

Yes, that movie was great! My 2 favorite songs from Devdas (which also had a great soundtrack):

I think that people in the US were the last to find out who Aishwarya Rai was!

Tim McGraw is a huge fan of Bill Clinton.

But has ever recorded a CD or even a song about what a great guy Bill Clinton is or how America should be more like Bill Clinton.

And if so, did the country music industry shower him with praise and affection for doing so under the guise of "artistic excellence".

You know. Kinda the way Hollywood did with Algore and his pathetic movie about Global Warming. I can't even remember the name of it.
