To start off this collection, i'd just like to give credit where credit is due. To announce, shall we say, a Lifetime Achievement Award to "Hollywood Liberals." After half a decade of being bashed for their "elite-ness," they and their colleagues all over the world deserve some love. Liberal writer's, actors, and directors have had key roles in moving society in the right direction. They've taken issues that were once black and white and converted them to living color--touching our hearts and minds, and bettered our lives in ways politician's should have, but didn't. 🏆

    Who do you regard as "Hollywood Liberals"?

    From the past: "The Hollywood Ten," Humphrey Bogart, Kirk Douglas, John Garfield, Katherine Hepburn, Stanley Kramer, Norman Lear, Paul Newman, Edward G. Robinson, and Gale Sondergaard . . . to list but a few..

    In the present: Warren Beatty, George Clooney, Jane Fonda, Mark Hamill, Spike Lee, the aforementioned Michael Moore, Sean Penn, Rob Reiner . . . among many others.

    Regarding V.3's swipe at the Hollywood movie industry, the fame, fortunes, and idolatry lavished on movie stars and filmmakers* . . . to quote William Shakespeare out of context, "The fault . . . is not in our stars, but in ourselves."

    To use another quote, "Don't hate the player. Hate the game." If Hollywood demigods and demigoddesses are outrageously adored, worshipped, exalted, and rewarded by society, the blame lies not with them but with society whose cultural values are seriously twisted.

    * And also showered on ridiculously overpaid and idolized "superstar" athletes and fashion models.

    Writers and directors such as Michael Moore and Ken Burns have taught us so much about history, war, and politics. The grown up version of events we never learned in history class.

    i had to deduct few points because some of them (like Woody and Harvey) touched some of us in inappropriate ways too. And come to think of it, the industry and fans do fawn over them in lavish, self-serving, drawn-out award ceremonies several times every year. They get gold statues and outrageous paydays for playing make-believe, while in the real world, hard-working heroes get ignored by society. So, screw 'em. And the high horse they rode in on the red carpet. 🐴

    but ya gotta love their movies. Let's do talk about them...
