[Antoninus]

The movie "Pleasantville" revealed a mocking, anti-decency attitude.

I nearly threw the clicker at the TV when we made the mistake of renting that message-laden stinker. Though I haven't seen it (and probably shouldn't comment on it), American Beauty, based on the reviews, struck me as a finger in the eye to ordinary suburban Americans. To my mind, it was Hollywood pouring their unmittigated scorn upon the very people that keep them in business.

Movies like "Old Yeller", "The Shootist", "The Magnificent Seven", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" could be made, and they would be, if enough people wouldn't go to any that weren't as clean.

Indeed. Hence the rationale for the targetted boycott. If enough of us start voting with our dollars, we'll get their attention.
