The Postmodern Dilemma
6-19-06 Looking for Substance in Hollywood
How can I convince you? The movies use force & velocity to suck in ticket buyers. Lots of the 18-24 yr olds buy the madness of ferocious car chases and automatic weapons displays & romantic kidnappings and mass murders. Serial perverts roam the air waves & the highways. And the key is not to catch the bad asses until the final minute of the movie after all the carnage has been commited and the torture has proceeded without relief. This is offered as Art by Hollywood producers. Or some damned phony terrorist flick insinuating Arab or Muslim influences. When are we going to get something approaching Accuracy in the realm of Hollywood? Who is going be the first director and producer to reveal the real story in the Middle East without bowing the knee to USA Israel Or UK? Presently we have no producers or directors in Hollywood that dare call Israel's bluff concerning its Gestapo State tactics regarding the Palestinians much of whose land Israel has stolen at gunpoint & by bombing as at the same time it killed or forced into exile millions of legitimate Palestinian home owners and citizens from 1948 to this very day. Where is Oliver Stone the great liberal on this question? Answer: probably sitting in some air-condtioned living room chewing the fat with The Pro Israel Lobby we have heard so much about recently. What are we getting from Hollywood now? Nothing but knee-jerk movies with no intellectual or political content worthy of intelligent and inquisitive and romantic realist movie goers. Nothing in the realm of love that deserves our attention and nothing in the realm of the mind or in the political arena. What we are getting is endless violent snuff films & tapioca pudding sentimental trash flicks. Soft & stupid or hard & stupid. But no courage and no illumination & no cosmic comedy or tragedy.
