Hollywood folks hope you won’t draw that conclusion, but as further accusations involving other Hollywood figures come out, the conclusion will be hard to avoid. And that raises Hollywood’s biggest worry: Once people realize the system that produces movies is exploitative and inhuman, will they still watch movies? Or are motion pictures the ”blood diamonds” of the entertainment world?
As Ann Althouse wrote on her blog, “Because movies are shot through with human exploitation, we should withhold our patronage. These big expensive projects create immense power that is used to grind up young women, and we should not want to expose our mind to this material. If you need stories about human beings, read.”
People reading instead of going to movies? That’s scarier to Hollywood than the worst of Harvey Weinstein’s deeds. No wonder they moved fast.
