it's "just" a movie. I said I never forget that it "is" a movie.

Of course movies have messages. Everywhere we turn there is someone or something vying for our attention with a purpose in mind. Culture at large, in all it's elements, is in constant process of influence.

It is your responsibility and mine to decide what to pay attention to and to decide what to accept or reject. That's life, not only movies. Hollywood film has political and social messages. So what.

I watch a movie a day on average. I think I have a keen sense of what I want to see and what not to see. 9 out of 10 times I enjoy what I choose and take it for what it is.

I don't let someone else tell me how or what to think. I say, rather, hmmm, so that's what the other feller thinks.

You and Grits should commiserate. He takes great pride in his acumen for choosing and watching bad film.

Aren't you doing the same thing you're complaining about? Messaging your contempt for "liberal" film. Your message or theirs, gotta talk about something.

Cheers,
