Economy in Tank: Hollywood Liberals Disproportionally Affected
Iowahawk now blogging for Andrew Brietbart? The apocalypse cometh:
As a professional filmmaker, I have to say I was as stunned as you when I read that the film industry suffered through another lackluster box office year in 2008. The chief reasons for this appear to be the economy and Internet pirates, or possibly that Raisinette ebola scare. Whatever the cause it’s safe to say that it had nothing to do with the screen product, because 2008 was also a landmark year for the kind of ponderous, preachy, high-quality cinema that Americans from Santa Monica to Silverlake are clamoring for. Don’t take my word for it — just look at the record 5,362 awards Hollywood earned from itself last year, up nearly 35% from 2003. Suck on that, stupid box office!What follows is a list of Hollywood "hits" imagined by Iowahawk. Go read it. You'll be glad you did. My favorite?
