The symptoms of what's wrong...Good column, Ed.<br /><br />The symptoms of what's wrong with Hollywood<br />are everywhere. I watched a trailer for the movie<br />'Bright' on which Netflix is reported to have spent<br />90 million. Instead of sparking interest in seeing<br />the movie, it was unrelentingly dreary.<br /><br />When I picked up my copy of the LA Times this<br />morning, there was an article on the front page<br />about the Golden Globes last night.<br /><br />Was there any mention of how the movies which<br />won awards might be entertaining? Absolutely not.<br /><br />Instead, the article highlighted "the #MeToo movement,...the<br />“thick black line” of attire on the red carpet (All the women dressed<br />in black), meant to show solidarity with the Time’s Up campaign to<br />draw attention to sexual harassment."<br /><br />Hollywood has deteriorated to the point that those<br />involved don't even make a pretense that their job<br />is to entertain. Instead, they view their job to be<br />indoctrinating the 'poor dumb slobs' (as they see<br />the public) in how and what to think.<br /><br />Doug MayfieldDoug Mayfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620167852028046807noreply@blogger.com
