After skimming through Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood extreme right leaning blog, I came across a scathing review of the new film "Bad Teacher" starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, and Jason Segel. One thing this far right blog focuses on are the conservative films, players and values in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. It is no secret the vast majority in the entertainment industry lean left and are quite active in the political arena. This blog pathetically attempts to pick out right wing values from the handful of republicans in Hollywood and from films that depict conservative values.
After recently seeing the film "Bad Teacher", I was interested in reading what Big Hollywood contributor John P. Hanlon had to say about it. In his post ‘Bad Teacher’ Review: Hey Teacher, Leave Us Moviegoers Alone, Hanlon summarizes and critiques the film in a mostly fair way. I'll be honest, I respect opinions of others, especially when reviewing film, however what gets me about this post is how these right wing nuts latch onto ANY "conservative" point within a film. In the film there is a pro-life reference which goes along with Justin Timberlake's hilarious character. Hanlon implicates this point into his review of the film. Most people reviewing films would care less about such a "reference", however the people over at Big Hollywood are obsessed with any sort of reference to their passionate beliefs of abortion. You're probably thinking "Why does he care so much?" I care because it is a pointless implication into the review and the far right at that blog are obsessed with having a conservative reference or voice in Hollywood. The fact of the matter is, Hollywood is liberal and it will most likely continue to be liberal. So if that's what those people want to waste their time on....searching and picking out conservative messages and references in film and the entertainment industry, then life is quite boring for them. Find another hobby.
