Hollywood Spin on Climate Hysteria

OK, I think I have seen the ultimate Hollywood spin on global warming with some of the new Sci Fi channel made for TV movies such as the very loosely aligned with the Crichton book, The Andromeda Strain, and some the recent alien-oriented movies that tie global warming to aliens. Whew! I thought I had seen everything, but to now say that global warming is the fault of an alien infection while Michael Crichton's excellent science fiction book has been very loosely interpreted to include the future is sending back a warning about destroying the planet (see the plot of Star Trek IV) by eliminating the one thing needed to save the future, and the very off-handed token gay reference (Rick Schroder) character "don't ask, don't tell".

Has it come down to the point that everything coming out of Hollywood must now be spun to include dealing with political and sociological of the decade. These very brief, but blatant reference or inclusions of such topics only show the intentions of the writers, producers and directors of these recent remakes. I would much rather see new plots, new movies with these current topics included as part of the present landscape then going back and trying to do an almost revisionist construction of past classics.

Why are writers today so limited in their capabilities that the only thing coming out of Hollywood are remakes and remakes that try to include these hot social issues of the left-leaning Hollywood crowd?

Also, I just wish that the Hollywood crowd that mouth off about "if so-and-so gets elected I'm leaving the US" would in fact do so. It was interesting to hear Babs and one of the Baldwin brothers who said very similar things about the 2004 re-election of GWBush. I guess that these actors, now including Susan Sarandon., don't consider their word or statement of much value, so why should we consider what they with any more validity?

Remember, America can be fixed, but it will take some very dedicated people caring about the future of this country. The next few blogs will be about how to fix the energy problem now facing the country.

Have a good one.
