Simple answer, make movies, not political statements.
Look at the movies that are successful, they aren't political statements, they are made for the audience.

Hear, hear!

Hey Hollywood, Shut up and act!

Sadly, I doubt the current Hollywood talent is capable of either of those suggestions.

I'm not so sure... SWIII - ROTS was supposedly political allegory... The Sith was the GOP, the brave but outnumbered Jedi were the Democrats... At least that's how some people saw it... LOL!

To simple for them.

The last Star Wars had some rather moronic political statements in it.

Exactly! Hollywood KNOWS what movies do well and which do not...and those espousing a political agenda, homosexual lifestyle, and the like MIGHT make the critics happy, but the audiences will stay away! BUT Hollywood just can't help themselves. THey think audiences SHOULD like movies like "Brokeback Mountain" and the rest, so they keep making them.

I believe it was the highly successful Sam Goldwyn who when confronted on the fact his movies didn't convey a "message," said, "If you want a message call Western Union."
