The TV attacks us straight after our birth and there's not much we can do about it. It's damn hard to stay unaffected.
Especially the Holywood production is total brainwashing for me. On the other side the european movies are crap (excluding some comedies). These are the reasons I don't like movies. Anyone here feeling the same way?

Damn Ed,
you could be the next governor of caulifornia.
So is it life imitating art or art imitating life, or art imitating life imitating art?
Hollyweed according to some think tanks, sell out for $'s and for ratings.
And some use hollyweed as a staircase to politics.
I like movies, lov them, specially on dvd. They provide an escape for a brief moment. However, I watch everything from Sixteen Candles, Old School, to Swingers, to Chicago, to Schindler's List, to indie cult stuff like Clerks, Compadres, Mi Vida Loca, love british gangster films: The Italian Job-1960's, Gangstah movies (i.e. Blood In Blood Out, Casino, or shows like The Sopranos, etc...) to documentaries on Aliens, Egypt, Atlantis, etc...
to flix that make one think e.g. Pie, The Sixth Sense to Bend It Like Beckham, The Guru, Amores Perros, etc...etc... i just happen to enjoy all kinds, {i've even seen some bombs, from indie directors to hollyweed,,
for example Gigli--
dont ask
, } as well, i enjoy all kinds of music from new country to rap, to soul, to merengue to pop, to 80's Metal, to classical music, to R&B to disco, to surf rock, to oldies {pre-brit invasion} to rockabilly and to big band/swing/new swing i.e. BBVD.
Guess the whole point is to provide entertaiment and not to take it too seriously. Once the credits roll, movie's over--back to reality.
Mind you though, after watching The Fast & The Furious I - doing donuts in the mall parking lot was fun!!!!!
There's probably more damage being done by shows like Paternity King-Maury, Riki Lake, Dr. Phil, Howard Stern, (K, i like howard--he rocks
), and Jerry Springer...
Mind you though, one of my favorites right now is CSI-Vegas and some {CSI-Miami}, imo it kickz azz.
On the flipside, when was the last time we sent in a donation to
privately funded community stations that support healthy tv programming
for children...etc...
