This essay largely explains why I rarely go the the movies anymore. When I do go see a movie, it is usually based on word of mouth from people whom I trust have good sensibilities and good taste.
Surely Hollywood likes to make money. There is a goldmine awaiting any Hollywood producer who can make a movie about 9-11, Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom that portrays America as a fundmentally decent nation and that portrays American citizens and soldiers as brave and idealistic.
I suppose that is expecting too much from the Tinseltown leftists, but there IS money to be made with such a concept...
What part of the muslim motto "Death to America" do these leftist-idiots/traitors not understand?
More wisdom from VDH in one column than of decades of hot air from the left and their socialist, communist, totalitarian lying friends.
Frankly, if idiots like these not only don't want to fight for their freedom they think will never go away but actually help the enemy they deserve their plight.
I'm sure Hollywood is on the terrorist top ten list.
Couple that with no understanding of history, and a low level of emotional maturity, and voila, there you have it. The reason why Hollywood is having a harder time making movies for Americans is that they're out of touch with everyone outide their increasingly shrinking bubble.

You're kidding, right? That is exactly what they also want!!
Bookmark this keeper of a column.
Bruce Willis has said he plans to make a film based on Deuce Four - Bruce Willis to make Pro-American Movie, from Michael Yon's blog, one of the most outstanding views of the Iraq war from the ground to date. A man among the muck.
they understand it perfectly well...it is their goal as well
They ndon't consider themselves Americans..they are citzens of the world....like the missionary in Sand Pebbles, they'll meet the same end.
This column is right on. I used to avoid seeing many movies, because most were not either funny, intelligent, clever, interesting, or well-acted. Now, in addition to those reasons, I don't go to many movies because I know more about the people behind them - crass, self-absorbed, money-obsessed, simple-minded, anti-American.
That is not even a stretch of the imagination. They won't do it. They are too out of touch.
Ahhh, I believe you have nailed the jello to the wall.
Great Observation, Spot on.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
In the history of man no other record is observed.
They want to destroy everything america stands for - its institutions, values, government, infrastructures...
I heartly recommend a book by David Horowitz, an ex rabid lefty turned into a rabid conservative - "Radical Son". It provides a vivid insight into americas left - their motives, their agenda, strategies and tactics for achieving their ends, from someone who's seen it first hand.
He also has a web magazine, frontpagemag.com, as well as another of his sites, http://discoverthenetwork.com/, which is a growing compendium of leftist organizations and their interrelationships.
McCarthy was right about Hollyweird.
both Hollywood types and Tv journalists take themselves way too seriously. aLaura Ingram got it right. They should shut up and sing. C-span sometimes shows scholars with real expertise. Hanson has a good sense of history.
Visit any major Hollywood studio and you will notice several obvious layers of physical protection they have erected around their property since 9/11.
It probably gives them a false sense of security.
