Nick Gillespie | March 25, 2009

At Reason Goes Hollywood, our 40th anniversary bash held November 14-15, 2008 in Los Angeles, Reason.tv's Ted Balaker led a lively discussion on "The Business of Hollywood," especially as it pertains to creative work that challenges a stultifying left-liberal consenus in movie industry.

Panelists included Moving Picture Institute co-founder (and Reason Foundation supporter) Frayda Levy, Lionsgate Entertainment vice chairman Michael Burns, and Disney Channel co-founder Jim Jimirro. The conversation covered ground ranging from the Atlas Shrugged movie to Mad Men to the effect of popular culture on political attitudes.

Approximately 40 minutes.

You guys are so boring.... you should all realize by now Rome is not the philosopher's choirs; it is a bloody heart ripped from the chest of a defeated opponent; held to the sky as the cheers of a thousand onlookers crescendo with the final beat of a heartbeat!

Men and Women of Hollywood; entertainers none the less, you should know such things by now! You should know not to bore us with the vindictive rantings of a Russian wench whose loins were a fowl as the lowliest depths of Mordor! You all provide the necks for the next public execution. Well done.
