Critics often groan that modern movies pander to middlebrow sensibilities, and fret that smart movies are being killed by candy-coated kid fare. These men prove them wrong.

This is such garbage.

First the Newsweak article get in a dig that any film that does not celebrate leftist sacraments like abortion is wonderful, homosexuality is fun, Bush-is-Hitler, etc with is "middlebrow sensibilities" comment. Get it America? If you don't think like a radical liberal, you are not as smart as us.

Next, Hollywood's free for all of gay sex and Bush bashing by Hollywood is in stark contrast to its films while the Clintons were in office.

During the Clinton years, Hollywood made films to try to prop Clinton up. Remember these?

- Air Force One (President Clinton is a loving husband and father who personally machine guns terrorists)

- The American President (A liberal fantasy where President Clinton is single and does not have to worry about Hillary screeching her way around the West Wing)

- Dave (Clinton is just a simple, lovable guy who occupies the oval office)

- Independence Day (Clinton saves the human race by flying a fighter plane and leading an attack, while also being a loving husband and father)

This is not an exaggeration. The script writers later said they wanted to put his Presidency in a favorable light.

Today, we have a real former fighter pilot, loving father and husband in the White House, and Hollywood hates him. They make awful films and break their arms patting themselves on the back.

Pathetic.

Well said.

I haven't been to a theatre in years, largely due to what you outlined. As an aside, am I the only one who has noticed that most of the "entertainment industry's" output in the 1990's was dreck and drivel?

What did 'Air Force One' have to do with Clinton? The Presidnet was a strong and moral Vietnam Vet.
