It's only a matter of time and they're going to come after the movies. Historical movies, showing how things used to be in America.

I'm thinking of George Lucas's American Graffiti. It's highly vulnerable. No A-A characters, very influential movie, highly watchable.

I'm serious. I think they're going to come after it. Lucas made it as a peon, a monument to his youth, growing up in California's post-war Central Valley. It's a monument to an America that used to be, and that is considered illegitimate today.

They're going to come after it just like they're currently coming after the Confederate General monuments.

I wonder if George Lucas realizes this. He's seems like a smart man.

I would have thought movies would be an easier target than statues. Not a movie person, when is theh last time you saw American Graffiti on cable? Do kids see it. IMO, it would be appealing. Just asking, for all I know it’s on every week, or never, I don’t watch that much TV/cable. But can’t help but wonder if, like classrooms, it’s an easier media to influence.
