What’s Next? Domestic Chores and Lawncare?

Tonight I begin a screenwriting course, which will inevitably help me write a TV show that will make me millions of dollars. That is what I thought until I saw what was happening in Hollywood.

Three movies, vying for Best Picture and other Oscars are not from traditional Hollywood powers like Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Ridley Scott. No they are from three Mexican filmmakers – Innaratu, Del Toro and Curaon and the films, respectively are Babel, Pan’s Labyrinth and Children of Men. And they are another example of what Lou Dobbs has called our “Broken Boarders.”

Steven Spielberg did not direct a film this year and it is no wonder. Why does Hollywood need Steven Spielberg, a director called by this very website, “the greatest director ever” when it has Guillermo Del Toro saying, “I wanted to make a movie for $20 million, but make it look like it cost $60 million.” Translation into English – I will do the film work of Steven Spielberg for 33 cents on the dollar.

Babel is the next film and has already been praised by the Hollywood Foreign Press as their best picture of the year. Sure it was well done, but the movie is full of propaganda on the part of the pro-illegal immigrant lobby. For example (spoiler – go to next paragraph if you want to see Babel) you are supposed to feel bad for the ILLEGAL nanny who has been in the country for 15 years taking care of Brad Pitt’s children when she is found in Mexico and not allowed back into the states. Where’s the sympathy for the legal immigrant au pair from England who was supposed to get that ILLEGAL’s job and now cannot take care of Brad Pitt’s children and ruin his marriage with a love affair behind his wife’s back? There’s no outcry on behalf of adulterous legal western Europeans by that lobby.

And then we get to Children of Men, a film about how women are infertile and cannot have babies anymore. Lots of white people and black people in this movie. The not-so-subtle message? No Mexicans, no babies.

I urge the Academy when they are voting on their choices for best Picture to remember the quality films by our homegrown filmmakers and to not buy into the propaganda pro-illegal agenda of these Mexican filmmakers.

I must say I am a little selfish here. I am beginning a screenwriting class tonight and I want to know that when I write my show/movie that my inferior work will be protected by a big wall and laws that will stop talented and hard working people from taking my unearned opportunity and at a fraction of the cost that I would charge for it. So please Academy – nominate Borat for best Picture before any of the Mexican Triple Threat so that people can see what good Americans are capable of.
