Who wants to watch a bunch of arrogant celebrities spout off their socialist tripe at the audience for two hours? I have no faith that Hollywood can produce an adult movie with serious themes that doesn’t insult my intelligence. Mindless entertainment is all they’re capable of delivering, why should I look to them for anything else?
Add to that a growing trend of taking gratuitous - and completely senseless - swipes at Republicans at every opportunity.
Saw “The Time Traveler’s Wife” two weeks ago; the Eric Bana character is eventually accidentally shot by the wife’s father, a man introduced as “a Republican who hunts”.
Saw “Julie and Julia” last Friday, and there’s a scene where she gets chastised by her boss for falsely calling in sick. The boss says she should appreciate his leniency, because “if I was a Republican I would have fired you”.
They’re showing trailers for an upcoming Sarah Jessica Parker movie where she ends up in Montana in the witness protection program; Mary Steenbergen, playing local law enforcement, picks up a rifle; Sarah Jessica Parker gasps “It’s Sarah Palin!!”
Face it, anti-Republican bigotry is the only bigotry allowed in this country...and it is pursued with smug vengeance.
