So!! Some emboldened anonymous gentle-person saw fit to dig up one of my old dog whistle translation posts, and comment "Hollyweird deserves the ridicule it gets!".
I modded it into oblivion, because fuck you, it's my blog.
But! In a way, I agree, and I've been agreeing on this blog for a helluva while.
Just probably not in the way that person would agree with or respect.
Anyway! Here's all that!
Critiques on the shit the "I hate Hollyweird" types typically like out of "Hollyweird".
-My thing on "Swimming With Sharks" (skip to near the end).
-Anti-LGBT cinema ("Once Bitten", "Bachelor Party", "Dude, Where's My Car?" see "Scream, Queen").
-"Coward Of The County" the movie!!
VERSUS!!!
The stuff that plays every Christmas that "Christians" ignore in their day-to-day morality, and voting patterns.
-Scrooge (Greed is bad. So no Trump).
-It's A Wonderful Life (Ditto).
-Citizen Kane (Ditto).
-Trading Places (Ditto. Also, racism bad. And classism bad. So, again, no Trump).
-Willy Wonka (Greed, gluttony, and sloth are bad. So no Trump. And no mega-churches).
-A Christmas Story (Bullies and toadies are bad. So no Trump, and no Ted Cruz).
-Charlie Brown Christmas (Materialism, especially on Jesus's birthday, is bad. So no Wal-Mart. Or Trump. And definitely no Trump merch).
-The Grinch (It's not about the presents. See Charlie Brown).
-Rudolph (Bullying bad. Acceptance good. Difference good. So, no Trump. And no DeSantis).
-Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (Giving is better than receiving. So, no Republicans; period)
So, yeah, if I were a hypocrite-Christian, these gifts from "Hollyweird" might piss me off too.
Having your repulsive shortcomings rubbed in your face must sting a bit.
Good. Try self-improvement over having diaper-wetting tantrums.
You might actually get somewhere.
