Gillian Robespierre?
I am sure her name is a complete coincidence...
Adam Baldwin had an interesting comment about Hollywood the other day. He said that Hollywood will trend conservative because the big money behind it notices that conservatism sells.
He encourages to be engaged in the culture war and support conservative themed television and movies.
When Animal Mother speaks, people listen.
I recall after the war in Iraq started Hollywood put out a bunch of anti-military, anti-American war flicks (ie. Rendition) and they all bombed. I remember at the time saying that if someone would just make a classic, Chuck Norris type war flick set in the middle east they would make a ton of money. The movie "Sole Survivor" finally proved me right.
Good article. I had not thought about the not doing abortion story lines. Interesting.
Good one, Jonah.
Abortion just isn’t funny. It works as a subject in a serious film like ‘Vera Drake’ but otherwise...
Yes, that was well done pro-abortion propaganda. A movie, even one presenting as a “comedy,” that shows abortion as the result of mindless, irresponsible fornication is too true to be of use.
Vera Drake was not pro abortion propaganda at all.
I suppose that’s in the perception of the viewer. Some viewers might find “Obvious Child” to be lighthearted fun.
100 year copyrights on ancient film and audio works insulates Hollyweird from being held financially accountable for the current product they are producing.
The bulk of DVDs and CDs on shelves (and movies and tv shows on cable) have long paid off their production costs yet they still bring in big dollars.
Tasteless.
I mean, I've heard the bar get set pretty low in the locker room bull sessions ... but not heard it go this low. Pretty bad when a flick crosses lines that 15 year old boys look at and say "ehhhhhh, man, that's not cool".
Surprised that the movie made 2 mil, so far. I suppose that there are koolaid drinkers out there for anything.
Baldwin plays the XO on the new TNT drama “THE LAST SHIP”
Navy is portrayed in a positive light......!
Yeah I’ve been watching. Its a pretty subdued role for Baldwin. So far I’m still unsure about the show but its something to watch on Sunday night before Falling skies.
It’s life of the author plus 75 years I think.
Did you see Vera Drake? It’s not propagandist in the least.
Robespierre is a very apt name for her
We could do a story about bathtub cheese. It will be far and away the most winning bathtub-cheese comedy ever made!
didn’t a lesbian show up in the first ep?
