So what is to be done?
Well, for starters, you, your family and friends can vote with your money. Don't view the films or buy the books. If you're the type who exercises his or her First Amendment rights by joining organized boycotts, that's also kosher. But more importantly, remember that influence can never be claimed, it can only be bestowed by others.
Neither the laws of nature nor nature's G-d require you to listen respectfully to every jerk who claims the title of "celebrity." Instead, recognize them for what they are - the final, perverse, spoiled products of a cultural style that failed long ago and has lingered far too long for any good it may have been doing.
Remind your children that many of their favorite war and action heroes are fake. Finally, remind yourself that no wise parent ever rewards a hissy fit.
