#2 Hollywood is mostly rooting for the other side, except for shows like 24.

#3 I'm convinced those in Hollywierd who aren't buried deep in denial are shit-scared of what might happen if they DID do movies with Islamists as the villians... anything from CAIR seething and whining in the outer office, to actual physical violence directed against themselves or their property.

#4 Hollyweird is able to live off their past largely from the constant flow of income generated by buying your Congress to extend copyright from the original of around 30 years to nearly a hundred by the recent Sonny Bono Copyright Act. Like a lot of stuff it was done in the name of the 'artists'. In reality, the industry plied both sides of the political aisle with 'campaign' contributions to get this turkey in stealing public domain and giving it to multi-billion dollar corporations. Our founding fathers abhorred the Royal Patents which granted families with inheritable authority to tax products and services. While recognizing the need to innovate and create, they specifically set a limit to the practice giving a reasonable time to recover or enrich the individual originator of the idea. That has all been betrayed. Now you see a consequence of altering the environment, they don't have to work for their fare. They can ignore market pressures because they have created a mechanism of income which is not subject to popular consent. That's why you get drivel.

#5 Hollywood will rush a film into production just as soon as the producers are assured the USA has lost the war in Iraq. The film will portray a wide ranging cast of characters as the heros of the story: anti-war Dems in a leading role; a supporting role played by anti war Pubs; the MSM for it's never wavering role of 24/7/365 defeatism; and key parts will be played by the likes of Tim Robbins, Susan Saradon, Sean Penn, George Clooney, Jane Fonda. Cameo appearances by Cindy Sheehan, John Kerry, John Murtha, Chuck Hagel.

OTOH: Should we win the war in Iraq the only movie we'll get will be about Abu Gurab.

#8 We have to make the enemy fear us more than they fear the islamists.

#9 Hollywood too timid for the war on terror? to produce movies that depict ACTUAL bad guys, as opposed to the Republicans and Christians they just don't like, but who they know won't kill them.

There - fixed that for ya'.

#10 Compare Jane Fonda and Sean Penn with Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable and many others of the WWII era. Today's Hollywood with the exception of a few are downright traitorous. Is there a single Hollywood star serving in the military today?
