In a post typed in earlier this morning (scroll down a bit to find it), I announced the launching of Andrew Breitbart's new website, Big Hollywood, an important new source for conservatives who realize that the culture wars are, first and foremost, about the culture rather than merely being about electoral politics.Be sure and check that post out. And be sure you take the suggestion there to install Big Hollywood in your Favorites. I have done that already -- it's now right there on my daily visits list alongside Lucianne.com, National Review, The Pearcey Report, Jill Stanek, Randy Alcorn's Blog, Breakpoint, Radio Free Europe, Drudge Report, the Family Research Council, Town Hall...and yes, Yahoo Sports.
Anyway, back to Big Hollywood. May I suggest a few particularly interesting posts that are part of their maiden voyage? Good. They are: John Ziegler's "A Revealing Morning With Sarah Palin"; Ben Shapiro's "Can Movies Lose Wars?"; Gary Graham's "One Pissed-Off Dude"; and finally, John Nolte's "What’s Wrong With Corny?"
Nolte is the Editor in Chief of Big Hollywood and his brief comments about a Bobby Van dance scene from Small Town Girl are spot-on. Nolte says, "When you consider all the elements that had to come perfectly together in order to pull off Van’s joyous hop through an idealized small town, all done in long takes, it’s a reminder that putting a smile on the face of your audience is no easy thing. Corny can be hard, harder than than even irony or nihilism."
This is quality stuff, guys. And it makes me think that Big Hollywood is going to be a Big Deal indeed for the conservative movement.
