Moody is in that bizarro-world of the left that ignores 99% of Hollywood product to focus on blasting the rare conservative. Frustrating.

I liked "Badlands" too. I also enjoyed "Days of Heaven" as a sort of meditation. But I thought "The Thin Red Line" felt lazy and way too self-absorbed and haven't trusted Malick to consider me as an audience member since. I'm sure this (Tree) has beautiful imagery and deep consideration, but as a viewer I need to be included in the process a bit more these days.

Hollywood by and large sells itself the story that its artists are still counter-culture heroes battling an establishment and overcoming anti-communist witch hunts, when the truth is that they are the establishment and Hollywood has long been full of marxist witches.

That lack of awareness or acknowledgement of context keeps them cranking out product that preaches to the choir while steadily losing audience share outside of their ivory tower.

If the film takes a pro-military stance, I will be as likely to see it despite the suits' asshattery.

I'm looking forward to a pro military movie. It will have nothing to do with how I vote.

I predict an effect on the vote similar to Michael Moore's release of "Fahrenheit 9/11" in 2004. Zippo.

20 bucks became too much to spend for a subscription to EW once Mark Harris willfully turned it into a propaganda paper.

I really enjoyed a lot of his movies when I was younger. They were fun and seemed insightful. Now I connect the artist to their art more and his art looks to me like tired perpetual self wish fulfillment by a dirty old man.

I know this makes me uncultured, but I haven't watched a Woody Allen movie since he slept with his daughter.

F*** yeah. This is so satisfying to me, as a guy who studied drama in the 90's at the New School for Social Research. Constantly trying to shove Odets and Miller up everybody's ass.

I'm sure Mamet's work will be dropped from theater history like Trotsky from a Lenin photograph. Doesn't matter. Mamet's bona fide.

Mark Harris has taken EW from being a light, fun read about movies in the tradition of the old "Premiere" magazine and has turned it into an agenda heavy drag. I won't pay the $20 a year for a subscription again until he leaves or lightens up.
