“I learned Hollywood is a small community, and you really have to be a part of the community to get anything done. Unlike traditional industries, where you can do things from afar with phone calls and e-mail, this town is really about being social.

“47 Ronin is a very special movie for me. Not only a Samurai thing. Not only a Hollywood fantasy. It has a very special mixture between Japanese traditional culture and Western culture for the costume, set, story. Everything.

“It is no accident that Hitler, Lenin, Pol Pot and other butchers of note took special pains early in their despotic careers to suppress religion and undermine the traditional family. Theophobes would find such a characterization truly horrifying, but it's true. This explains why theophobia - while popular in faculty lounges, journalism seminars and Hollywood bacchanals - has not and probably never will attract a public following of any appreciable influence or size.” PainCareersInfluenceSpecialHollywoodNotesSizeFollowingAccidentsTraditionalJournalismFacultyPotButchersCharacterizationSeminarsTraditional Family Author:Tony Snow

“There's been an amazing backlash for the last decade in America: political correctness. In many ways, I think that, while we've been remarkably violent in our media, there's been a real schizophrenia. In private, on the Internet, and on public-affairs shows or talk radio, we're way more explicit than we've ever been. But traditional Hollywood has been much more frightened than it ever was in the '70s about presenting things that could be perceived as politically incorrect.” ThinkingWayHas BeensRealShowsLastsAmericaPoliticalMediaInternetHollywoodAffairRadioDecadesViolentTraditionalFrightenedPolitical CorrectnessPresentingCorrectnessSchizophreniaExplicitBacklashPublic AffairsTalk Radio Author:Ivan Reitman
