LOS ANGELES — Hollywood and older Americans have never had much use for each other. The 50-plus crowd doesn’t go to opening weekends or buy popcorn; a youth-obsessed Hollywood has happily ignored them.

I’ll be in a theater on April 15 to see Atlas Shrugged Part One. Trailers look awesome.

Black Swan could have done without the oral sex lesbian scene.

That kind of stuff used to be reserved for the 3 am dark alley crowd. Now it seems to be accepted. Gross.

Keep good movies coming like The King’s speech and True Grit and they will come.

I went to see The Eagle and I Am Number Four. 4 was definitely a teeny flick, not that appealing to this 44 Y.O.

The Eagle was excellent though, I love historical dramas, my fondness for such subjects increasing as I get older.

Obama Hollywood and Obama TV can go to h*ll. I will not watch any of their crap. The last good film I saw was German and Rush was a big proponent of it. The Lives of Others. I avoid any British movies now because they push a PC and gay agenda in almost every movie.

Hollywood is garbage. People here posting about legend Kirk Douglas. The guy was always slime and the son is a huge lib.
