Do you not get Michael Medved’s radio show in your market? Were you saying to yourself the other day how frustrated you are that not every aspect of art and life have been boiled down to crude political reductionisms? Then Roy has found the site for you: “Libertas: Conservative Thought [sic] About Film.” The hand-wringing about Lucas is indeed entertaining, but I also enjoyed this analysis of that immensely important work, xXx: State of the Union. Seems that Ice Cube (I was unaware that he had directed or written the script for this particular film, but I may be mistaken) is trying to indoctrinate your children with liberal propaganda for hooking an action movie around a silly conspiracy theory. Even worse, they’re marketing the movie as if it were about blowing a whole bunch of shit up rather than the serious political allegory it obviously is! Those bastards! To add to the entertainment, they also repeat Medved’s claim that the idiots who attacked Million Dollar Baby for the wrong reasons caused it to suffer mightily at the box office. Yeah, I’m sure Warner execs are devastated that their arty $30 million dollar boxing picture has grossed a piddling $190 million worldwide. That’ll teach them to make movies where characters do things that particularly dim-witted reactionaries don’t like and hence attribute to the director! When will these execs learn that it’s movies like America’s Heart and Soul that people are clamoring to see?

…I note that AHAS, on its 4th week of release, made $34 a screen. Pretty amazing accomplishment when you think about it.
