Tom Clancy is a closet rat and came out for Kerry. He probably suggested substituting the neo nazis for Islamofascists.
Who was the whacko Marine General who showed up with Clancy to support Kerry and slam Bush during the election?
Follywood will jump the shark whenever they can get by with it.
After a lot of pushing from younger family members, last week I decided to watch Miami CSI. There was a brutal mass murder at sea, weapon running, use of RPGs against cops and innocent Cuban merchants.
The group responsible was supposedly a hate minorities militia group in Miami. The show was a 5 barf bagger, and I will never watch Miami CSI again.
"You didn't see the National Rifle Association order a hit on Michael Moore over Bowling for Columbine."
We did. The assassin is slowly feeding him dozens and dozens of Krispy Kreme blueberry filled donuts everyday. We expect his heart to vapor lock any day now. (Shhh! Secret evil plot, don't tell anyone, okay?)
"Hollywood's war on terror"
You lost me after this...
The exception, of course, was The Seige with Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis. About six people saw it.
Alexander the Great - opening week vs cost to produce
compared to
Mel Gibson's movie on the death of Christ vs cost to produce.
FOLLYWOOD - Guess what America wants to see???????
It was WWII, the scene was an aircraft carrier just before leaving port. On the deck was a makeshift stage. Sailors were seated all over and were hanging over the rails on the decks above.
On the stage were Hollywood stars performing for the boys. Not all troop entertainment was provided by the Bob Hope troupers. This one starred a young Dick Powell singing his heart out (he had a great voice), a sexy Yvonne DeCarlo singing and doing a shimmy here and there which brought down the house (ship), Danny Kaye who did one of his hilarious and unintelligible patter songs, a young, pretty, bouncy Dale Evans who wowed the guys........it was a great show. The looks and smiles on the young faces in the audience were heartwarming.
By contrast, where are the Hollyweirders during this war? There's only a few who are entertaining the troops. There should be hundreds. They don't have to go to Iraq if they're in fear. There's other military bases, ships and ports where they can utilize their talents for the men and women of the armed services.
Well, I can answer my own questions.....and it all makes me mad. They fear blacklisting by powerful Hollyweird liberals, and of course, a lot of them are anti-military to their core.
I don't go to the movies any more (only Mel Gibson). Turner Movie Classics satisfy all my needs to see oldy, goody films produced when movies were movies.
If I could, I'd go to California and organize another Hollywood Canteen.

The Arabs have invested their money wisely in Hollywood and the newsrooms.
