Hollywood Whores--Vol II, a MUST READ over at the WSJ today. Titled "Look Who Isn't Talking" a trashing of the Hollywood Left over the Theo van Gough murder in Holland.
One would think that in the name of artistic freedom, the creative community would take a stand against filmmakers being sent into hiding à la Salman Rushdie, or left bleeding in the street. Yet we've heard nary a peep from Hollywood about the van Gogh slaying. Indeed Hollywood has long walked on eggshells regarding the topic of Islamic fundamentalism. The film version of Tom Clancy's "The Sum of All Fears" changed Palestinian terrorists to neo-Nazis out a desire to avoid offending Arabs or Muslims.They are a truly reptilian lot. There is a good side here too, Conservative film makers are making movies and although they don't have wide distribution, they are being seen. More to come.
