Nobody Needs to Know
Nobody Wins
Here’s the question that I can’t find an answer to anywhere. We all know that companies pay to put product placement in our movies. Sometimes a company can pay up to a million dollars for a 4 second shot. God knows, we’ve seen just about every single movie star on the planet open up an Apple computer. Not to mention, all those big Hollywood stars who are health and fitness nuts can be found puffing away on cigarettes…and you have to wonder how much they got paid to do that. And if they even had a choice to refuse?
But.. the real question I have is: Does our government use taxpayers money to put politically correct propaganda in our movies? Or…do the producers of these movies demand the writers of the scripts represent the views they believe in? How many times have we seen movies promoting the favorite liberal cause of the day?
For example: The movie The Thaw with Val Kilmer is a Sci-fi film about a global warming professor who goes to report the ice caps melting, which was caused because the selfish “man” will not sacrifice his own life habits to save the planet….and because of THAT, a rare virus is let out, one that could destroy the world. There are so many, “Why don’t people SEE?” lines in the movie, the plot becomes almost secondary. If not for the excellent work done by the “bug” people, the movie would not be worth seeing. Val does not mention the fact that even if everyone in the United States went back to living in caves, China and India’s pollution would more than make up for our sacrifices.
Another example: The Dilemma…probably the worst movie Opie has ever made. It’s about two best buddies who come up with an electric car that SOUNDS and vibrates like an old-fashioned Ford Mustang. Now, I don’t know if Ron Howard got together with Obama and the boys from VOLT…to try and get America excited about electric cars, but the plot outside the many plugs for the electric cars is so stupid and lame, you can’t decide if the movie is supposed to be a comedy, or some kind of angst that Ron had happen in his own life and he just decided to combine the two.
The one best friend is very upset that his best friend’s wife having an affair. He confronts her and she tells him that he is going to a massage parlor every Thursday, and so she started the affair because he was not having sex with her…but with the massage therapist. Somehow, at the end of the movie, you get the feeling that she, his wife, (played Winona rider) is a slut, but the husband is not…I guess because he pays for it.
Message: If men pay for sex, they are not committing adultry….it’s permitted, which shows you just how far that women’s movement went.
So, the best buddy, Vince Vaughn, gets them both exposed, and they get divorced, and by the end of the movie they get their contract for their great electric car inventon…and you go: Okay. None of this was funny. Is this…dark humor? What am I missing here, besides the fact that they paid someone to come up with some kind of lame plot, but the real reason for the movie is to sell the concept of electic cars to the masses.
Which brings me back to my point: What came first? The chicken or the egg? Does Hollywood get PAID to put out all these crappy social engineering movies from our government? Or do they do it, because our government will make them all pay BIG taxes on their dividends?
Who is sleeping with who, and how deep is the money pit?

Well you won’t have to worry about the Volt, the Chairman of GM after taking all our tax dollars, moved all of the production and technical support, research and development to China.
See the U.S.A. in a Toyota.
Hollywood does what is good for Hollywood, and it would not surprise me one bit, if any of this, real or imagined, is taking place.
Subliminally speaking that is.
