Stephen Baldwin Takes on Hollywood, (Sort of)

Stephen Baldwin, the good brother in the Baldwin clan, thinks Hollywood sucks.

He didn’t quite put it that way but that’s essentially how he seems to feel regarding the excessive violence and sexual themes prevalent in movies produced in Hollywood: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=44591.

That’s really not news to anyone who lays out ten bucks or more at their local movie house or to people who rent their flicks from Blockbuster or Netflix. What is a revelation is Baldwin’s allegations as to why the crap fills so many of America’s big screens and home theater screens.

I should qualify that comment. Many of us are fully aware of the reasons Hollywood consistently churns out violent and trashy garbage, and it’s not because they are moneymakers. In actuality, family fare films return far more profit to movie studios.

What then is the rationale for refusing to film more family flicks if not the almighty dollar? Asked a question specific to the Oscar awarded to Milk and whether, like Brokeback Mountain, which won 3 academy awards in 2006, Milk won because of its homosexual theme, Baldwin says it’s because, “Hollywood and the Academy has [sic] an agenda every year.”

Good gracious! Is he charging that there is a conspiracy on the Left Coast? Is he alleging there is some kind of “moral issue” driving producers to turn out more and more films featuring graphic sex and violence? Is he contending that there’s a Hollywood cabal that is interested more in corrupting the minds and souls of moviegoers, especially young moviegoers’ minds and souls, than in producing wholesome films?

Baldwin’s answer is, yes, to all of the above.

Baldwin forthrightly says, “I think that a small core group of individuals that make a lot of the decisions about what that content is going to be are in charge.” He adds that, “80 percent of [that content] is negative and violent and immoral and 20 percent of it is positive and happy and friendly and joyous and family [and] that’s an imbalance.”

No kidding, Stephen, an imbalance that greed can’t explain since that 20 percent adds far more to the bottom line per picture than the 80 percent.

Baldwin went on to explain…

Occasionally someone like Eastwood slips one by the moneymen, but that’s only because Eastwood is such a towering presence in Hollywood, that he doesn’t hear ‘no’ during pitches.

My son said Liam Neeson was like Jason Bourne’s dad, only more brutal and aggressive. Killing muslem types you say? I will see that one. Clint, of course I’ll watch anything he does that the critics don’t like.

Yes, white women are undoubtedly the most beautiful in the world. Other races are so monochromatic.

And that is only one reason why interracial marriage is such a tragedy. Beautiful white women should be making beautiful white babies. Because nobody else can do it. And if they don’t do it, pretty soon there will be no more beautiful white women.

A world without blondes? Thank God, I won’t live to see it.

right, ‘cuz there’s never been an interracial marriage before. oh, wait, the obamessiah’s own mother had one. idiot.

racists are those like this glieberman who sees only the color of skin, hair, eyes. when i see people, i see beautiful shades of brown from the lightest cream to the darkest ebony, i see beautiful eyes of blue-grey, green, brown, and even what seems black, i see beautiful shades and textures of hair from the blondest of the blond to red, brown and black from the straightest hair to wavy, curly, and kinky.

these are all beautiful creations of God.

It is almost The Emperor has no shoes. Is everyone so enamored that they cannot see reality?
