I think it was the rotting scenes. She's a silly lib out in San Fran now.

Hollywood's commercial trend illustrated in this excerpt also seems to oppress Ms Snider's inner artiste:

What’s more, the [Disney] said it would focus mostly on Disney-branded films like the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which it can exploit across all divisions.

“Where Disney may have sent ripples, it begged the question, Who knows what others will do?” said Leonard Goldberg, the movie producer and former business partner of Aaron Spelling who was known for television shows like “Charlie’s Angels” and “Fantasy Island.”

I like Mr Goldberg's take in this story:

Whatever the challenges ahead, Mr. Goldberg, the producer, said Hollywood would adapt as it did when silent movies became talkies, and three decades ago, when the VCR was perceived as a threat.

He had no sympathy for those who do nothing but complain. “Let them get a real job,” he said. “They get paid a lot. They go to great parties. They fly around in jets, not only for business reasons, but for personal things, too. I think there are worse jobs to have.”

What do you think, people getting tired of having left-wing politics and homosexuality shoved down their throats while paying ever-increasing prices at the theater?

Yeah, can't these guys entertain us without insulting us ? Or does that take too much "creativity" for these idiots?

Note to Hollywood: you don't have to be edgy, surprising, or out there. It's easier than all that - just quit being rude to us, quit rubbing our faces in it, quit talking down to us, quit sexualizing our children, quit preaching the liberal line, and preaching nutty California and just quit preaching. We heard you. If you want to preach all things liberal start a Unitarian Church and give up making movies. If you want to make movies and have us pay to see them, STOP PREACHING to us - we've heard it - and heard it - and heard it. DO YOU HEAR ME? Hollywood, DO YOU HEAR ME?
