Movies your sociology lecturer doesn't even want to watch

It has always been a commonplace amongst millions of sophomoric people all over the world that Hollywood sucks because it is a brainless bimbo hooked on sex, violence and things that go Blammmmmm! A lot of Hollywood people over the last 100 years have probably said similar things, then gone back to the office to make the next smash hit blockbuster chocka with boobs and explosions. But what happens when the mover and shaker people in Hollywood are sophomoric too? And misunderstand Hollywoods stock in trade? And decide that instead of serving up banana splits they are going to dollop out portions of cod liver oil...

The reason that only sophomoric people believe the schtick about bimbo Hollywood, is that the latter has always produced lots of different kinds of movies- from "Its a wonderful life" to "A weekend at Bernies". Its a vast smorgasbord and theres usually something for everybody. Well, used to be anyway.

Seems like the lefties of Hollywood don't have production time these days for the blast-em-ups and the giggly teen movies because they have to make IMPORTANT films about how terrible Bush's America is. And they are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. According to http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/11/11/business/strike.php, movies aren't making money any more. The wicked combo of movies no patriotic American (most Americans) will knowingly watch and greedy actors who want some of the takings as WELL as getting paid an up-front salary means Hollywoods numbers just don't stack up. And guess what happens about now? All the canny producers who are in it for the money will just go do something else with their money, and Hollywood will become a boutique film production industry dedicated to making dull lectures about how eeeeeevvvvvvvvvuuuuul America is.

Good luck with that guys! Meanwhile, could somebody switch Hollywood back on? I miss Arnie and Sly...
