Interesting read...

If you make it ALL the way through this article, you'll never think about Hollwood the same -- or maybe you will!

Yes, it is an interesting read if you don't mind the world of the perverse. Surprising? Not at all. Hollyweird is a giant freakshow.

On to some real substance, I thought the following excerpts were a bit curious:

Based on a well-known graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd about vigilantism in a fascist state, the material is reportedly a searing indictment of Bush administration policies.
[...]
The attitude of some in Hollywood toward the brothers seems to be that they may be yesterday's news. "They're not that interested in movies right now," says Eric Feig, an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles. "V for Vendetta was set in motion before The Matrix. They're focusing exclusively on comic books and video games." According to Larry's own filings in his divorce from Thea Bloom, there are no new Wachowski brothers scripts in the pipeline.
[...]
No matter what happens with Vendetta, Larry Wachowski has again demonstrated his willingness to take risks, to make movies as dangerous and transgressive as his life. V, the film's hero, isn't a crusading law enforcer. He's a terrorist. He blows up subways and buildings. Ever the working-class heroes, the Wachowskis are still challenging the system.

Gee, what a surprise. A Hollywood presentation that really goes out on a limb with proclamations about fascist states and the Bush administration. What are the odds.

Yes, it is apparent that they aren't interested in making movies anymore when they spend an inordinate amount of time producing a film that presumably bashes this administration. I guess they feel the timing is right and that any tripe that falls back on such a premise is bound to get attention from their peers in that isolationist colony on the Left coast.

What a hero they're creating... a terrorist. Some risk when it involves their reflexive animous to feed the true believers. I think the submissive has taken too many beatings from his dominatrix and cracked his head.

Speaking about 'weird'...

I was looking up Jodie Foster on Answer.com, and it listed her movies. One of them was 'Sugarland'.

Have you ever noticed that JagPC is listed, in some places, as being located in Sugarland? I thought it was some kind of joke or mistake. However...
