"In the bubbled, hypocritical mind of some in Hollywood, the only reason Gervais crossed a line is because he went after them. Had he been as relentless in ripping apart Sarah Palin, her young children, Jesus Christ, or George W. Bush, today the comedian would be celebrated as âedgyâ and âcourageousâ â because only in Hollywood is throwing red meat...

That is what Hollywood is exporting to the world, apparently, along with "extramarital sex leading to the spread of sexually-transmitted disease", but I decided that had to be excised from the headline for reasons of space. And furthermore, "The lack of morals and values in Hollywood culture has been destroying the fabric of American culture, particularly the family...Hollywood has also been accus...

Hollywood is completely obsessed with the Holocaust. Partly because of its own Jewishness, also the reason why, among other things, Hollywood so rarely depicts God.

Interesting theory over at Big Hollywood on just why modern movies are terrible. I'd actually say he's underestimated the awfulness of liberalism. These guys not only have a downer on individual responsibility for bad behaviour, they don't believe in moral judgements in the first place - not unless the villain has blond hair anyway. Consider the difference between 1971's The Omega Man and 2007's I...
