Hopefully like Rand Paul and Marco Rubio you believe that social issues should be left up to the states.

'' I wonder about the converse? Hollywood has assaulted masculinity, and at the same time tried to inject testosterone into femininity. Your post, and a few others by women are my case in point. Not long ago women would never write such crude and vulgar things - that was the domain of the barbaric male. Not any more... ''

Good post.

'' Hollywood itself is so shallow that it fails to recognize that both of these traits exist within both sexes: they're simply expressed in different ways. ''

Agreed.

'' ....Hollywood is trying to pander to an audience which has no taste to begin with and is becoming increasingly more and more jaded.
Audiences today have no taste whatsoever and wouldn't know a good dramatic production or a true star if they both jumped up and bit them in their collective as(gluteus maximus)ses!
I feel sorry for Hollywood. The old studio system was the best. Now its all drugs and hype and total nonsense. The films today are throway just like the rest of our society. There are no feelings, or emotions or loyalties today, just disposable films with little or no plots to speak of, with abysmally poor acting.
Hollywood should do what GM and Toyota did; get back to basics. Film real stories with dramtic value and interest and use real actors and actresses who know their craft. Avoid sensationalism and gimmicks like the plague and just tell a good story.
Even a move like Smokey and the Bandit or the Coneheads are light years ahead of the stuff we have now! ''

'' ...I hate to say this, but the older movies really were the best. They had a plot, they had a theme, there was a real conflict and there was not a lot of token violence and the stars were that, truely magnificent acting legends. Gone with the Wind for example is a 1000 page novel with no sex scenes. The only reference to sex in the entire novel is something to the effect that "they closed their bedroom door."
Now, it's gynecological sex scenes and graphic violence so strong that even a mortician or a Medical Examiner would look away in horror....''

'' The problem with the movies today is that they are much like the popular music, they have no theme to speak of and no dramatic or literary value. Even the action sequences today are so high paced it's one hi intensity thrill after another, but that's all she wrote.
Further, the thematic material of the movies keeps getting more and more out there.
I oftern wonder if some of this stuff is either produced or written by people coming down off a cocaine high or whatever their drug of choice is at that given moment.... ''
