      The more talented people that Hollywood blacklists, the more great professionals that will be available to help build the new Conservative Alternative to Hollywood.
      Pureflix doesn't really have a high standard of quality, but they were something. Daily Wire is something else. Maybe not cranking out masterpieces, but they ARE creating an outlet. The folks behind The Chosen.
      It isn't going to stop here. When "the monopoly" stops serving a segment of the audience, then SOMEONE will come along and serve that audience, and grow that audience.
      Before you know it, Hollywood themselves will run back to the center and try to be neutral, centrist, or even put on a facade of Conservatism to win viewers back again. But their replacement will already have arrived.

      @@robertthebruce7176 And I will always be rooting for any alternative to Hollywood. The alternatives have to start somewhere. Not all entertainment must be overtly Christian or Conservative and not all entertainment must be purely wholesome and morally pure....but if that kind of entertainment can be done WELL when others(like Hollywood) refuse to embrace that kind of traditional and wholesome storytelling....then I will ALWAYS be rooting for those storytellers.
      I'm a big fan of some anime mostly because some of the best are either traditional, straightforward depictions of heroism and adventure or are irreverent and focused purely on entertainment...and they feature essentially zero "modern US social or political agendas" and are just free of that, focusing on being good fiction.

      @NMemone Год назад

      I agree. He actually played Eisenhower in the last season of American Horror Story! The season was divided into two stories; the first was about vampires, the second was about aliens. I stopped watching the vampire one since it was trash (as is most of AHS, I don't know what I was thinking giving it another chance) but I decided to check out the alien story when I saw Neal was playing Dwight and Sarah Paulson was Mamie Eisenhower. Needless to say they were both terrific and yes, he was the PERFECT Eisenhower but the modern day part of the story was completely uninteresting. Still worth checking out if you have Hulu; it's only four episodes long. Just be prepared to scroll on your phone through much of it

Since then he always commands my attention whenever he appears onscreen. I'm happy to hear he is making his own movies now and getting involved in projects that reflect his values. I will seek out this film he is promoting as it looks like it is tackling the W E F 's agenda head on. Well done Mr. McDonough!

It described Mr. McDonough's home life and the Hollywood people who were attracted to its welcoming and genial and familial normality. I also seem to remember that he is a Catholic. The impression never left me. As the late John Gregory Dunne once wrote when describing Hollywood -- for the most part it's a normal company town. At least behind the camera and among the scores of people who bring a film to the screen of your local cinema-plex.

    14:00 I think it could be said best that, as a person of moral character, it is not going to be easy. It never was easy, never will be easy. But have faith because it is going to work out. God bless Andrew and Neal. And thanks to Neal for the great entertainment. He seems like such an effective bad guy and that is a testament to his acting ability. He is good at his job.
