Re: [CTRL] WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN HOLLYWOOD - your reality check's bouncing...
-Caveat Lector- Why is it that the only time the list ever hears from me, is when I'm asking for comments, or shooting some one down for something that just seems dumb. To the person who started this thread, and those who continued to build upon it (especially the anti-semitic commentaries) - give yer head a shake! Hollywood, IMHO, can be accused of a great many things, but setting up the *world* for subservancy to a Jewish super-power is not one of them! Do you really have that little confidence in humanity? What you're suggesting is ludicrous, not because the 'Jews' are behind it (who, I might add, are as capable as any other sub-culture), but because you firmly believe that people would flock to movie theaters in the droves that they obviously do, for the sole purpose of being subverted! Why would a proud Texan pay $8.00 to sit through a movie that, for the next two hours is going to berate him and his upbringing? And more interestingly, if I'm not from Texas, have never known anyone from Texas, and see a great number of Hollywood films per year, why do I not think badly of Texans? I come from a relatively right-wing city of 900,000 mostly normal, intelligent people (and aside from the population of the city, I think that description could be applied to most of the cities you know). One of our local public theaters, run by local gov't, once hired as their CEO of the theater, an extremely liberal, gay rights activist. Almost instantly, every musical, balet, or Shakespearian play, became a soap box for preaching tolerance and acceptance of gays in our schools, churches, supermarkets, etc.. Personally, I've got a couple of friends who are gay, and the idea didn't bother me the way it seemed to affect others. But then - I don't go to a lot of plays either. As I'm sure you can guess, people reacted to the change after only a couple of plays, the press eventually coloured it bad, and the theater's managing director found himself unable to sustain much of an audience after about a year. Capitalism prevailed, he's been released of his duties, the theater's showing themes more relevant to the local modern culture, and people are going to plays again. Summary - I think there are two things wrong with the hypothesis that I'm seeing throughout your anti-wood thread: 1. You think we're all empty skulled idiots, hopelessly waiting for someone to fill our vacant craniums and point us in the 'right' direction (pun intended). 2. You also think that you're intelligent enough to wrap your anti-semitic views in a cloak of horror, and pass them off as conspiracies. Well, at the risk of sounding a little nasty: I'm not an idiot, and although I'm an athiest who disagrees with the very idea of organized religions, I find most of this anti-semetic thread offensive and absurd.

Re: [CTRL] WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN HOLLYWOOD
-Caveat Lector- YOU CAN SKIP ALL THIS STUFF IF YOU'VE READ IT ALREADY AND JUST READ WHAT I HAD TO SAY...IT JUST MAKES THE THINGS EASIER.. -- On Sat, 20 Feb 1999 12:25:24 Kris Millegan wrote: -Caveat Lector- Would you feel any different about my original question if I told you that my ten year study of the U.S. film industry has confirmed that (among other things) for the last 30 to 40 years at least, Hollywood films have consistently portrayed Latinos, Christians, Italian-Americans, Asians, Arabs and Whites from the South (including those poor Texans) as the villains (or at least in a negative or stereotypical manner), while simultaneously promoting politically liberal points of view? Aside from the irony in that, some of you may rationalize that these movie patterns of bias are merely coincidental. Latinos The consistency of the record, however, suggests otherwise. My study of thousands of movies and movie reviews indicates that Hollywood, throughout its nearly 90-year history, has specifically portrayed LATINOS in films as mean, macho, scraggly, violent, cynical, racist, tire slashers, drug traffickers, kidnappers, gang members, prison inmates or in despair. Despite a couple of recent exceptions to this general pattern, Hollywood films have traditionally contained very few positive portrayals of Latinos. If the objective is to hold back or create a disadvantage for Latinos in our society, I suppose there is no better way than the historically proven method of using powerful mass communications media to poison people's minds toward one or more designated populations. By the way, the words and phrases used to describe these biased movie portrayals, mostly come right out of the reviews relied on for this research. Arabs My studies also show that ARABS have been portrayed in Hollywood films as evil, barbaric, oversexed, depraved, villainous, shifty, possessed, hostile, fanatical, criminal, mystical, wicked and crazed. Of course, that's not enough to satisfy Hollywood, so Arabs have also been portrayed as thieves, shady, kidnappers, enemies, mysterious, murderers, assassins, terrorists, blood-thirsty, saboteurs, extremists, cult-ridden, curse-stricken, oily, shifty-eyed, violent, and idiots. Seldom have Hollywood movies contained favorable portrayals of Arabs or Arab-Americans. Thus, millions of viewers of Hollywood movies worldwide are being burdened with Hollywood's perspective of what Arabs and Arab-Americans are like, which we all have to admit is prejudiced and extremely unbalanced. In all fairness, this record suggests that some Hollywood movies are being used as a form of private propaganda (paid for by the unsuspecting moviegoers themselves), and in this instance, the propaganda could have consequences for Mid-East and world peace. Asians My studies also reveal that Hollywood's portrayals of ASIANS AND ASIAN-AMERICANS consistently present them as enemies, cold, calculating, ruthless, aggressive, criminals, slave owners and conspiring businessmen (some of whom, of course, bought a couple of the major Hollywood studios a few years ago). Evenso, just as with Latinos and Arabs, it is also accurate to report that Hollywood has seldom portrayed Asians and Asian Americans in a positive light. Politics From a POLITICAL perspective, it's quite apparent that another of these consistent patterns of Hollywood movie bias comes in the form of negative portrayals of characters and positions representing conservative points of view, and positive presentations of characters and positions representing a liberal perspective. While Hollywood movie villains often hold political views of the extreme right, seldom does Hollywood portray its movie villains as political liberals. Religion Another blatant Hollywood movie bias occurs with respect to RELIGION. Most are just overlooked, but some, including Christianity are vigorously attacked in films. In recent decades, Hollywood has portrayed Christians as disturbed, phony, sexually rigid, devil worshipping cultists, manipulative, hypocritical, murder suspects, talking to God, neurotic, fanatical, slick hucksters, Bible quoting Nazis, outlaws, psychotic, fake spiritualists, Catholic schoolboys running amok, dishonest, Bible pushers, Adam Eve as pawns in a game between God and Satan, unscrupulous, dumb, deranged preachers, an unbalanced nun accused of killing her newborn infant, obsessed, mentally unbalanced, destructive, foul mouthed, fraudulent and miracle fabricators. That pretty much describes your Christian neighbors, doesn't it? Of course, I'm not even a religious person, but regardless of how you feel about religion and Christianity in particular, the use of a powerful communications medium by anyone to consistently portray Christians or any other religious characters in this manner is a national disgrace. South Still another little recognized Hollywood movie bias regularly appears in the form of negative or stereotypical portrayals of WHITES
Re: [CTRL] WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN HOLLYWOOD
-Caveat Lector- Regarding the below post and all the posts on Hollywood --- did everyone miss the Arts and Entertainment special aired about late summer 1998 (name of the special escapes me) in which it was admitted and bragged about that Jews founded, built, and run Hollywood. It is correct to say that there is no conspiracy --- it's out in the open. Liberal Jews don't need to get together and conspire any more than I need to get together and conspire which fellow pro-lifers on how to picket an abortion chamber or call in to a talk show on the subject of abortion. Most of us pro-lifers are Catholics or fundamentalist Christians (no, Virginia, orthodox Jews are not pro-life in the same sense, but support abortion in the first trimester under certain conditions) -- we were raised the same with the same teachings -- part of the same social organism, if you will (borrowing Lloyd Miller's terminology here). Likewise, liberal Jews congregating in Hollywood are also of the same mental background and upbringing -- no need to conspire at all. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of that A E special, but it's available to be bought -- is might even have 'Jewish' or 'Jew' in the title of that A E special. Now, comment on why certain groups have been portrayed certain ways by the Jews that run Hollywood: 1. Latinos - primarily Roman Catholic, the primary target of organized Jewry (in traditional form, not in the current apostate form following John Paul II, which some of us Roman Catholics call "The Counterfiet Church." 2. Arabs -- too obvious, Arabs have to be discredited since any brutalization against them must be able to be justified in order to prevent them from retaking some or all of the land that was taken from them with much violence and forced exile in 1948. 3.Asians -- no comment -- no insight. 4. Religion - better to have a backboneless population if you're in the minority by a long shot. Also, a secret or not so secret antipathy to traditional Christianity as expressed clearly in the Talmud. 5. South - the south represents the stronghold of those promote white racial integrity which Jews generally abhor. In fact, as Alan Dershowitz has recently proven, the top Jews can advocate racial intermixing for everyone else, while in the next breath advocate racial separatism for themselves (see Alan Derwshowitz's book, The Vanishing American Jew). Lest I be accused of being a racist, let me add that it's not sin to marry across racial lines, but neither do many of us believe that God made a mistake when he made the distinct races, which we must now correct by interbreeding. Each race has a right, within limits, to be justly proud of the good things in its heritage. 6. Politics -- same as religion -- better to have a muddleheaded liberal population than a principle-oriented conservative population if you're in the minority. 7. Whites, Blacks, Italian Americans, etc. -- it has been the habit of the Jewish controlled media to inculcate guilt-complexes in all other groups while holding themselves sacrosanct in their propaganda. Notice that NONE of the bashes on religion in the movies - as far as I know -- ever uses a Rabbi gone awry as the subject of its "bash" of religion. Always the wayward, failed priest, or the failed, hypocritical Protestant minister. Sorry to file such a negative report on the Jews running Hollywood -- but time and space are precious and this should "cut to the chase" for those trying to understand Hollywood.

[CTRL] WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN HOLLYWOOD
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.homevideo.net/FIRM/lowest.htm A HREF="http://www.homevideo.net/FIRM/lowest.htm"FIRM - What's Really Going on in Hollywood/A - WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN HOLLYWOOD A Recent Speech by John W. Cones Geronimo I saw a movie a few years ago, in 1993 actually. It was a major studio release by Columbia, and featured one of my favorite actors, Robert Duvall. The movie was Geronimo--An American Legend. Maybe some of you saw the film. Texans Duvall played a Western character, and in a part of the movie not significantly related to the main theme, he had a run-in with a group of Texans. After the Texans rode off into the sunset, the Duvall character announced to his associates that "Texans are the lowest form of human life". Now, I ask you, was that funny or offensive? Different Character What if in a different movie a character said "African-Americans are the lowest form of human life"? Would that be funny or offensive? What about another movie in which the character said "Latinos are the lowest form of human life"? Funny or offensive? And, what if the movie character said "Jews are the lowest form of human life"? Funny or offensive? Acceptable Would it be any more or less acceptable if the people being descri bed as the "lowest form of human life" were women? Christians? Arabs ? Italian-Americans? Asians? Gays? Lesbians? or Whites from the South ? Do your feelings differ depending on which group is being defamed? Should your feelings differ? Southerners Would your feelings differ if you knew that White folks from Texas and the American South are among a half dozen or so distinct populations in our diverse society that have been consistently portrayed in Hollywood movies in a negative or stereotypical manner for the last several decades? Significant Medium Would your feelings differ if you realized that contrary to what we're often led to believe by the Hollywood establishment, feature films are much more than mere entertainment. No less an authority than our own United States Supreme Court has actually declared that the motion picture is a significant medium for the communication of ideas, and on that basis has extended the broad protections of the constitutional right of free speech to feature films? Influence Would your feelings differ if you realized that throughout the history of human civiliz ation, ideas (no matter how comm unicat ed) have always and will always be impor tant factors in influe ncing human thinking and behav ior? And, would your feelings differ if you realized that millions of the people who are regula rly expos ed to the ideas comm unicat ed through film are young , not very sophis ticated, and in some cases, not well educa ted or even menta lly balan ced. After all, no one stands at the theatre door trying to deter mine who can effecti vely separate reality from fantasy in movies, do they? Repeated Viewings If persons like any of those I've just described, repeatedly saw a particular group consistently portrayed in a negative or stereotypical manner in a significant number of Hollywood movies over the years (which is exactly what happens in real life), what are the chances that such portrayals would influence the attitudes and behavior of some of those moviegoers with respect to the people portrayed? Probably, pretty good, wouldn't you say? Richard Donner The truth is that all movies communicate messages of one sort or another. One of our problems is that these messages have been consistently biased. Some filmmakers readily admit they sneak messages into their films. The Producer/Director of the Lethal Weapon series, Richard Donner, told Daily Variety just this past month that he tries to deliver a message in almost every picture, and that it's best if you sneak it in while getting a laugh. In his previous Lethal Weapon movie, the villain was a white racist from South Africa. That got a laugh, I'm sure. But his latest message in Lethal Weapon 4 is even more hilarious. It's a blatant attack on the National Rifle Association. Movies are much more than mere entertainment. Consistent Portrayals Would you feel any different about my original question if I told you that my ten year study of the U.S. film industry has confirmed that (among other things) for the last 30 to 40 years at least, Hollywood films have consistently portrayed Latinos, Christians, Italian-Americans, Asians, Arabs and Whites from the South (including those poor Texans) as the villains (or at least in a negative or stereotypical manner), while simultaneously promoting politically liberal points of view?

The movie was Geronimo--An American Legend. Maybe some of you saw the film. Just for the record, Walt Disney was notoriously and rabidly anti-Semitic, pro-Nazi, paid all his workers peon wages, never drew as much as a mouse, but betrayed the man who created Mickey Mouse for him (who had spent most of his life working for the Disney Studio)--fired everyone in the Studio when his animators finally held a strike for a living wage, yet managed to be fabulously successful until the day of his death. Now how did he manage that? It might, furthermore, help to remember that movies became successful during the Depression, when what the public wanted was escape fantasies of love, romance, and riches. American immigrants flocked to the movies, for a nickle, craving an image of an American elite that they could use as models. Their greatest dream was assimilation into "American" culture. Most moviegoers of that era wanted to escape the cultures they had come from--in some instances, fled--and longed to become beautiful, rich, successful, Americans with fabulous lovers and expensive wardrobes.Most of the "role models" of this early era represented the dominant Anglo- Saxon WASP Christian culture...and it seems to me that this image has persisted throughout most of movie historyuntil quite recently. It is only in the last two decades that movies have become especially violent. In the early Dick Tracy films, the villain was laid flat by a single punch. One shot from a gun actually killed someone. It is only very recently that violence has escalated into sheer pyrotechnics and heroes survive attacks that would wipe out several battalions. I don't see this tendency toward violence as liberal. I see it as feeding something sick that the culture is both asking for and that the Hollywood establishment is supplying and cultivating. And I can't imagine how all this violence could possibly be conceived of as an anti-gun message. It desensitizes the public towards both unspeakable ugliness and insane violence. How does this jibe with humanistic liberalism (which the right- wing hates for its willingness to overlook minor flaws, forgive, and offer second chances) ? There may be some truths in this article. But there's a lot of nonsense, too. People who are interested in and study world cinema can always find and see fine examples of movies from all over the world, representing every culture that makes movies. . Guess why they aren't shown in your local cinemax. They don't attract big audiences. And they don't make money (or sell popcorn). They are shown continually, and if they interest you, you can usually find a place where you can go to see them. sno0wl DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
