It’s been going that way for years. The late great actor Ron Silver, self described liberal who was mugged on 9/11, was on Book TV a few years ago and told us why. Hollywood’s priorities aren’t the US box office anymore. It’s now foreign releases and DVD sales. Also what drove all of the anti American films for the past few years.

Its our own fault. Hollywood can make a movie full of anti-American, anti-family, anti-Christian content, but if it has “great special effects” and “lots of action”, many people will see it anyway. They’ll tell you, “I didn’t see it for the plot, which was terrible. I just didn’t want to miss the special effects and they were AWESOME! You should go see it—in 3D!!”
We are Pavlov’s Dog.
Funny, though, if you look at TV, it would seem to be the opposite. For example, NCIS gets 20 million US viewers a week while ALMOST A MILLION each in Canada, Australia, and Europe watch it.
I wonder how much in taxes Hollywood pays. Guessing they already get a huge break releasing overseas, and then the anti-American films probably have to pay no taxes anywhere, just free propaganda for the Hussein Heads.
Didn’t Ron Silver eventually see the light and get away from liberalism? I thought I read somewhere that he became much more conservitive?
