Scroll down until you see the "What's the problem with movies" letter... it was in response to a much debated on DU op-ed regarding librul Hollywood:

What's The Problem With Movies?

Govindini Murty seems to be echoing the usual right-wing talking points about so-called liberal Hollywood and box office receipts in 2005 .

The problem with movies this year isn't a liberal bias in people associated with the movies; it is that there haven't been many good movies. The blockbusters are still big, but there isn't any depth or quality. Also, the big summer kids' movie this year, "Madagascar," lags behind last year's "The Incredibles" by a significant margin. The remaining movies out there are sequels or remakes of old movies or TV shows.

Additionally, two of the first three movies Ms. Murty cited in her article, "War of the Worlds" and "Star Wars: Episode III," are hits. In the United States, "Worlds" has already taken in nearly $200 million, and "Star Wars" has passed $370 million.

Notice also that when we finally got an original movie with "Fantastic Four," it was a smash hit and broke the weekly box office slump. And for religious movies, Ms. Murty can look forward to "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," coming to theaters this Christmas.
