>I hereby dispute the idea that the DOD has made it impossible for big-budget Hollywood movies to criticize the US military, and suggest instead that the bias Hollywood in favor of the military is responding to customer preferences and not leading it.
Yeah, the problem with anti-military movies is nobody wants to watch them. It certainly hasn't been a lack of effort on the part of film producers.
- scott_karana 13y agoAre you kidding me? Many movies on that list are both critical and box-office successes.
- tsotha 13y agoWell, critical success means nothing. As far as financial success goes, post 1991 there isn't much.
- scott_karana 13y agoI'm not sure if there's data to back it, but my guess would be that critical success correlates to a longer, slower run-out of money, as opposed to box-office returns. Would be an interesting analysis.
