THE AMC PROJECT: RATED R: REPUBLICANS IN HOLLYWOOD
Deserved or not, Hollywood has a left-wing reputation. But could Hollywood be more conservative than we think? This is the question award-winning documentary filmmaker and former Democratic speechwriter Jesse Moss tries to answer in this special AMC Project. He examines recent phenomena, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger's election to California's highest office, Mel Gibson's unapologetically Christian hit The Passion of The Christ, and the debates over "patriotism" spawned by the war in Iraq. Tune in and find out if Hollywood is primed for a right-wing resurgence. Tuesday, September 14 at 10PM ET/PT.
I taped it and plan on watching tomorrow. I'll let you know if it's worth our time.
I was dissappointed about the scope of this film. I was well done but it didn't hold any new & enlightening revelations for me. It was nice to see some new conservative or republican faces in the Hollywood scene be on camera. Most of the interviewees are well known.
The main point from the interviews was that Hollywood's younger "set" coming up are going to de-throne the liberal powers that be in ten years.
Don't won't your breath, sorry.
I saw the documentary last night (Sept 22) on AMC. I was actually encouraged by it--to hear that there may be a movement (however slight) of "coming out" of Republicans in Hollywood. Arnold's election seems to have made a dent in Liberal strongholds in California.
PLEASE NOTE: not ALL of California is nutso. The Central Valley is very conservative, as are the Northern and Southern parts. It's like a big backwards "L"--with the central coast leaning LEFT which includes the urban areas like LA and San Francisco. Us California conservatives always remind ourselves that this IS Reagan country and God willing it will be again...
It's my understanding that these celebs are Republican (or vote that way) just to name a few:
Clint Eastwood
Lara Flynn Boyle
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Heather Locklear
Chuck Norris
Shannen Doherty
Tony Stewart
Haley Cope
Bo Derek
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Curt Schilling
Faith Hill
Bruce Willis
LeAnn Rhimes
Patricia Heaton
Charlie Daniels
Dolly Parton
Gloria Estefan
Jessica Simpson
There are so many more....
Thanx,
Scott
