My Childhood Tragically Coincided with the Childhood of the Carter Years

From my favoritest blog in the world, Big Hollywood:

One of the most unfortunate events that deterred a healthy development of a motion picture industry is that its childhood tragically coincided with the childhood of Communism. The Soviet era of Communism was the first totalitarian regime that recognized the power of a moving image and used it fully to align masses with its party line. Not unlike the liberal-Democrat film and media machine that so disgracefully uses it today and by far exceeds the standards of tasteless social realism initiated by their Soviet forefathers.

And then, there's the list of films up for Best Picture this year:

Slumdog Millionaire
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Reader
Frost/Nixon
Milk

The last three certainly qualify as Communist propaganda of the worst sort.

Why, oh why, can't Hollywood make a nice film about a family that goes to church, prays together, respects the government (except the IRS, public employees of all stripes, FEMA, the DHS, child protective services, HUD, Department of Transportation, the State Department, the CIA (when Democrats are in the White House or its positions are at odds with the right-wing) and the Department of Education), and goes to the Hometown Buffet on Sunday nights for dinner? Where's that film?
