I'd like a list of Hollywood Incorrect films, the kind of films that you rent and go, "wow, I can't believe they're saying that. Yeay."

You recommended this to me, right?

I remember seeing this film on TV. It was my first exposure to "real" terrorism. As a pre-teen, I remember it shook me up--but I always believed America would fight such fanatics.

A couple years later, Iranian fanatics (one of them is now President of Iran) shamed America, and our gutless President Carter did not stand up to them.

I was too young at the time to appreciate Ronald Reagan's presidency. But today, having gone through the 1980s as a teenage and twenty-something 'rat, I'm more than aware: Reagan made a positive change on the world. Thank God he took over the reigns, as Carter was weak and ineffective.

Check out the new remastered DVD of the movie McClintock, with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. In it, McClintock (John Wayne) finally has enough of his back-talking wife and spanks her butt good with a small fireplace shovel....in front of the entire town! She's wearing nothing but bloomers.

It is wonderfully "politically incorrect."

In her "special features" commentary, Maureen O'Hara admits John Wayne really did spank her and made her butt black and blue for a week.

What happened to such cherished old-time traditions and why can't we have them back in our movies?

"it is a film that Hollywood probably wouldn't touch today"

--- Not sure that I'd want them to, given how they altered Clancy's book a few years ago

No rational person takes Hollywood serious anymore. What these flakey people say or think rarely makes sense if they are not reading a script.

I would be willing to bet that not one movie actor in every thousand has ever read a book on economics, history, government or anything else on which they are forever pontificating.

Back then, Israel was generally supported by the Left, except for the hardcore Communists who took their directions from the Soviet Union and therefore backed various Islamic "liberation movements." Jews were identified as heroes because the Holocaust was perpetrated against them by Hitler, whom the Left characterized as a rightist. The foundation of Israel was seen as a kind of victory over Hitler.

Now, Israel is hated by the left, even though perhaps the majority of Israelis are still leftists. How this came about is complicated. But it's not as if Hollywood used to be conservative and now are liberal. They were always liberal. But there was a time when it was considered correct for liberals to be patriotic.

That changed with Vietnam.

James Woods also was on the same flight of the 911 terrorists when they conducted their cross country reconnaissance run before the attack. Woods actually reported them to authorities, who did nothing.

Thanks for the ping and the stuff about the 1946 movie.
