Right now the glitterati are all at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT where they can party on down at temporary exclusive clubs, pick up pricey goods for free at swag tents/rooms (don't forget that tax form...the IRS is cracking down), and pat themselves on the back for their bravery as they take in movies about bestiality, kid rape, and God knows what other deviancy.
Sundance can debut good movies such as "Napoleon Dynamite" or "Little Miss Sunshine," but it can also be a toilet bowl for lousy and disgusting fare. Critics looove anything that "pushes the envelope," especially if it makes Brent Bozell and that Catholic League guy mad. They love anything that sticks it to whitey, Republicans, Christians, and capitalists. There's no such thing as going too far with this crowd. Show them Dakota Fanning in relations with a bear and they'll be stomping their feet for an Oscar.
And it's all good because they're against war! At least any war waged by a Republican administration. I didn't see Robert Redford get his knickers twisted over our involvement in Bosnia. This guy think the Bush administration owes "us" an apology. John Cusack, an underrated actor who stars in a flick where his wife is KIA in Iraq, thinks you can't be pro-human and NOT antiwar. Tell that to the WWII generation or the folks liberated from Nazi death camps. Besides, does Mr. Cusack feel the same way about the abortion industry? I'd bet a dollar to doughnuts the answer to that is, "No."
The grim milestone the antiwar posturers seldom acknowledge is one that eclipses the death toll from every war we've fought since 1775. Over 40 million human lives have been snuffed prematurely thanks to "choice." Think about it...that's more than the population of California. It's a testament to the influence of a pro-abortion news media, a pro-abortion academia, and a pro-abortion entertainment industry that more people don't find this horrifying.
It would make for a fascinating and provocative documentary. But I doubt Sundance would show it.
