Re: Hollywood and Christmas

Lew: Don’t forget the contributions to Christmas films provided by the AMC channel. They are giving us a l-o-n-g supply of films featuring that exemplar of peace, John Wayne. I have never been able to watch his celebration of violence (The Quiet Man is the only movie of his that I like). The current films that you mentioned remind us of Hollywood’s assigned role in the establishment’s scheme: the importance of state-contrived and managed systems of death and violence as the source of “order” in our world.
