Why do conservatives hate Hollywood?

It isn't like they won't make right-wing movies if said movies make money (ex: Passion of the Christ).

Horrible example.  "they" didn't want to fund PotC which is why Mel funded the entire thing himself (and made a ...ahem....killing).  The movie made a lot of money.  There hasn't been a bunch of knock offs by "they" since then either.



(and to squash the assumptions....I'm not a fan of Mel and have never seen PotC)

Fine, let's use Forrest Gump as an example then.

Forrest Gump is right wing? It's always seemed pretty apolitical to me...

Yeah, it is a pretty right-wing film (although that's never taken away from my enjoyment of it).

Interesting. I guess I've just never really analyzed it in a political context.

Skill, is it possible that you might be just slightly over analyzing things?
