Holywood on the Decline

Hollywood’s diminution arrives as its creativity leaves the scene. Revivals, reboots and sequels are the mainstay of this town’s current revenue stream. Faltering at the box office this summer ticket sales have slowed to a spurt of prior years. This town is full of mimicry not originality presently. Great directors need great scripts not redundancy that is currently being offered them. Entertainment magazines are fraught with previews of duplicates and triplicates of past titles. Star Wars has traveled further than any sequence of cinema presentations in history. Time to put his war horse to bed permanently. Jurassic Park has lived longer than the dinosaurs of old. This fossil too should find a museum for its aging bones. I enjoy a good flick like any other consumer looking for a few hours of suspended disbelief. Yet I will not spend my few quarters on titles that have been regurgitated more than a ruminant chews its curd.

HOLLYWOOD SUPPORTS TERRORISTS

Hollywood Supports Terrorists

Academy Award show should have been a night of revelry and mirth instead of a politicized disaster. Replete with comments which supported terrorist regimens leftist Hollywood elites could not pass up an opportunity to besmirch the President. Close examination of their statements display a group who truly live in La La Land. Iran was given the stage last night. This is a country which murders Christians, Jews and those of other faiths because their religious convictions are antithetical to Iran’s Muslim beliefs. From the host to the lowest on the acting totem pole a deluge of hate speech poured from those who are not initiated in history, international politics or commonsense. Celebrities have empowered themselves to be the voice of our national government with an unpatriotic and self-absorbed agenda. Academy Award show has become their yearly pulpit to carry out their actions. In reality we saw last night (2/27/2017) a group, whose average educational attainment barely reached the 12^th year of high school, comment on immigration policy. Many of us knew ahead of time rhetorical nonsense would flow from the celebrity crowd to a yearly declining audience. A cure does exist to strike at the heart of celebrity impropriety: hit them in their wallets. Then and only then will the left of this radical town move more centric.
