Most bloggers that are in the same sphere as you, so to speak, have this knee-jerk negative reaction against everything coming from Hollywood. I think that is unimaginative because even though Hollywood often is a center of evil I believe there is three impulses that drives movie making. <br />One is political/spiritual subversion (propaganda), one is hunger for profits and the last is a genuine artistic impulse. <br />The last impulse can occasionally be about telling good stories, stories that can be subversive of the leftist order (e.g. LoTR, and even the new Batman movies). Sometimes even movies that are made primarily too make money can be harmless or disruptive of the destructive elements of Hollywood. Comic book movies like this, for example, is seemingly not that interested in pushing leftist values. <br /><br />Have you seen the new "Harry Potter -universe" movie? I thought it was entertaining, though certainly lacking the depth of the HP books/movies. There were also some annoying PC elements. <br />AnteBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249366173494889527noreply@blogger.com
