we get their Hollywood movies shoved down our throats but it's near impossible to get our movies shown in the States unless they steal (remake) our movies
You missed the meeting doke88, we were waiting for you so we could discuss our plans to destroy Canada with the CIA's hurricane machine.
Oh gimme a break sweiland75, Hollywood is SOOOO far removed from real America it might as well be its own country, stop wrapping yourself in victimhood as nobody is impressed.
Actually it's true and conservatives with a persecution complex can't bear the thought that Hollywood is a microcosm of the horrible capitalist society we call the United States, only the people benefiting from capitalism see its horrible side-effects and are sympathetic people borne of morals and ethics
Thanks aroundaround we're all very proud of you, you can relax now because nobody reading this thread will ever accuse you of having any politcally incorrect thoughts. We're especially impressed by you preaching on high from a thread about a movie where a guy pickaxes people in the chest, rips their hearts out and puts them in candy boxes.
Hey while you're at it I think the threads for "Friday the 13th" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" could use your deep moral insights too.
Andybob.....you are hilarious! I couldn't have said it better myself! Now if you will all excuse me, I am off to contemplate world domination while I watch "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers!"

Your loss, man. Ofelas was a great film remade as the dreadful Pathfinder, Scorcese's remaking Silence, and J. L. Borges called The Invention of Morel the perfect novel while Renais bore it in mind making Last Year at Marienbad. What do you find interesting, the echo chamber of boring J-horror?

Thank God, because most of "real" America is comprised of obesity, laziness, ignorance, apathy, religious condemnation, the list goes on. Hollywood (i.e. Los Angeles) is one of the most open-minded and culturally diverse places in the US.
As for the movies, it's supply and demand. Middle America is the culprit for most of the dumb horror remakes and idiotic comedies starring The Rock, et al. Not Hollywood.

I'm going to assume you're not referring to me when you say middle America. I say so because I live in West Michigan and am damn proud of it, but unlike "most" of middle America I don't gobble up every over-hyped and overrated movie that comes to a theatre near me.
LMAFO!! You have to be joking. They are horribly racist, xenophobic, and bigoted and show zero signs of stopping that behavior.
Yeah..."horribly racist and bigoted" because a Latino was unanimously voted mayor and other minorities currently hold high government positions. And because a city with so many different ethnicities living in close proximity creates mass "xenophobia." Yeah....right.
