"There's the continuing war on the elites. There's a far right that has gained an unprecedented media clout. Hollywood is more and more divorced from reality, its film offerings increasingly in the realm of escapist garbage."

Hello?

1. So what if there is a "war on the elites"? I mean seriously, should the masses be bowing respectfully and chanting "not worthy, not worthy", at every utterance of Suzuki, Maude Barlow, Al Gore, Naomi and Clinton? And it is funny, when the rebellions of the 60s and 70s were happening, really, were today's older yuppies back then really wagging their fingers at each other and saying "don't fight the elites"? Ha! More like torching or blockading their offices.

2. The far right in the media? What? The top Foxnews shows get maybe two million viewers, under one percent of the US population, and it is hardly "far right".

3. Ah yes, let's get back to reality movies like the Wizard of Oz (1939) and King Kong (1933), realism like the old days (roll eyes)...
