Ah, blue-on-blue conflict is so yummy. The Obama Regime has launched an investigation of the Film Industry for not having enough female producers, directors, and so forth.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs launched an inquiry to look at hiring practices, it emerged on Wednesday.
It comes after statistics emerged showing less than seven per cent of top movies last year were directed by women.
The investigation was spurred on by letters filed by the ACLU.
‘We’re very encouraged by how seriously the government has taken this,’ attorney Melissa Goodman, director of the LGBTQ, Gender and Reproductive Justice Project at the ACLU of Southern California, said.
I would have thought the freedom for an employer to hire people according to their own merit and not to fulfill a politically motivated quota system was a civil right, but I guess not. And apparently, the ACLU and the Obama Regime want Hollywood to make more movies like the apparently terrible feminist ‘Ghostbusters’ reboot.
You have to wonder if it ever occurred to the Left that the hunger of The Beast could never be satiated merely by picking on Christian florists and bakers.
Using “top movies”, best selling books, awards, or any other cream of crop metric as a filter and examining demographics for equal oportunities seems seriously flawed.
How did they count the Wachowski
brotherssisters?@ Ted B.: You’re forgetting that period where they were the Wachowski siblings.
They had one truly good movie, and Dark City did the whole “what if reality as we know it is actually an illusion created by malevolent, unknown powers?” thing better anyways.
And to think that a white man masquerading as a chick with a d*ck is the hottest commodity amongst the Hollywood crowd these days!
leftist freedom comes to leftist Hollywood. remember when americans were free people? that was before we got rights.
Freedom of contract was rendered null and void with the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
My dad ruined The Matrix for me by pointing out disgustedly (and astutely) that the security guards who got massacred by Neo and Trinity in the building lobby were HUMAN BEINGS (i.e., not machine intelligence like Smith) whose only wrongdoing, apparently, is that they weren’t Enlightened enough to be redeemed. (He had enjoyed the movie’s premise up until that scene, at which point he stopped the DVD.)
Thumbs up for Dark City, though.
Bound has its fans.
