Holly-Weird

John Leo has a good article on Hollywood and he points out how out of touch they are. I thought the idea that the writer of War of the Worlds wrote the screenplay with the idea that the attacking aliens = the US military and the fleeing humans = the Iraqi man and woman fleeing an "occupation" says it all.

One thing Leo missed though - he should have mentioned the movie The Sum of All Fears. In the original Tom Clancy book the bad guys were radical Islamists but Hollywood had to change the bad guys to Neo-Nazi's to avoid hurting anyone's sensibilities.
