Iron Man Opens Big; Hollywood Loses "Mojo"

We haven't read anything this ignorant on the Infernonet for a couple of days now.

Forget the screeching TV evangelists calling people sinners; they have nothing on the judgement that flows like a river of sewer waste from Tinsel Town. Hollywood’s TV and films have been bashing on [sic] average Americans going back to Green Acres. Green Acres was the way Hollywood saw the flyover states. A bunch of ignorant, inbred hicks with no electricity or indoor plumbing. Something to be mocked to canned laughter. Times have changed, but only for the worse.

The "ignorant, inbred hicks" of Hooterville, if memory serves, handed city slicker & lawyer Mr. Douglas his hat on a regular (Every wk., it seems like.) basis. If the sack of sub-human shit who typed this had any knowledge of his cultural heritage, he would have singled out the Andy Griffith Show, where each wk. roving bands of snooty elitists from NOO YAWK CITY would cruise the streets of Mayberry in their hot rods, pushing over outhouses, whistling at the local girls, & playing their car radios real loud to emphasize that Mayberry, like Hooterville, lacked electricity, but mostly pointing, laughing & making cousin-fucking jokes.

We wish it were hard to believe that someone could be this foolish, but it's disturbingly common. Certainly we knew more about our entertainment heritage at his age (17? Baby-faced 23?) than typist Hudnall does. Young people. Unless they're paying into Social Security, we've no use for 'em! Now we expect Breitbart's Retardo, The Moron-Informing Alpaca's to pay a visit to Mr. Hudnall, & if that's not forthcoming, we bet we can still beat the living crap out of the little punk w/ our cane. And oxygen tank. (That puppy's heavy!)

It’s because of this relentless bashing of the American mainstream that Hollywood has lost its mojo. The public’s view of Hollywood is at an all time low. The star system is all but dead. Hollywood’s economy is practically moribund. These trends will not change until Hollywood changes. It needs to admit it has a problem, like an alcoholic, and start making amends to the people it’s burned. A great step forward would be to start showing more than one side to a political point of view. They should try putting in believable, likable characters who aren’t all of the same political stripe. They can start by not making people of differing views feel they need to stay in the closet.

In short, they need to stop being worse than their image of Joe McCarthy. Because right now they are making Joe McCarthy look like Paul McCartney.

All fantasy, all the time, & he won't stop. We have not & will not click any links, but we see that the first one leads to a poll. Whatever. And whatever an amorphous public's view of Hollywood is, the less amorphous public continues viewing the product, in theaters, on the no-longer-tube, rented, purchased, whatever.

"Star system?" A phrase that usually refers to the studios placing talent under contract & grooming them to be stars. Went away by the 1960s. If he's referring to the recent phenomenon of former big-name hacks (Cruise, Travolta, yada) no longer being the guaranteed opening wknd. draws they were, that's not the "star system," nor can it be attributed to anything political that we can imagine. Frankly, if people want stories, acting & pretentious crap like that, it's on television. (Or go to the damn theatre, sissies!) People blowing $10.00 on a big-screen experience like to see that screen used for more than an ECU of some wimp expressing bogus feelings. Blow some shit up! Doesn't matter who's inside the suit or flying the CGI plane.

Business & Technical Note: There was a reason that CBS was the "rural network" in the '60s, which ninny Hudnall wouldn't know. Many CBS affiliates, & most of the network's owned & operated stations (the webs' cash cows) were on channel two, which, due to physics or whatever that stuff is, had a signal that reached farther into the sticks than stations higher on the dial. ABC, most of whose affiliates were at higher freqs., offered much more "youth" or even "urban" (That didn't mean "Negro" in those days, kids.) programming. For this poorly-informed load to suggest that CBS ran Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, Hee Haw, Petticoat Junction & what not in order to mock "a bunch of ignorant, inbred hicks with no electricity or indoor plumbing" to canned laughter, he's claiming that they were cutting off their noses to spite their wallets. Not bloody likely, Sunny Jim. It's "The Industry." The Entertainment/Show Bidness. Not leftist academics handing out art grants on an imagined political basis. (If that ever even happens.)

One more: A similar phenom in the '30s & '40s, as the locations of the studios' theaters determined production. Warner Bros., w/ many rural screens, made plenty of Ma & Pa Kettle stuff, as well as the gangster films that allowed the inbred fuckheads of fly-over country (then known to the Hollywood Jew elite as "train-by country") to enjoy vicarious violence & murder, yet leave the theater secure in the knowledge that the protagonist had paid for his crimes, & that the good burghers of Bugtussle weren't like those awful city folk.

Paramount, w/ more city-located cinemas, made more sophisticated, urbane stuff, romantic comedies & the like. Those city folk really are awful.
