Chipping away at liberal hegemony in Hollywood

Andrew Breitbart has started a web page called "Big Hollywood" which presents alternative viewpoints on popular culture. His father-in-law, Orson Bean, has lived long enough to be blacklisted in Hollywood twice: once for being a communist and now for being a conservative. He says that the new blacklist is tougher than the old one. Here he talks about why he wrote a book about finding God.

Contributors to Big Hollywood will include the articulate screenwriter Bill Whittle and the insightful (but often crude) former attorney Ace from Ace of Spades. I don't know his real name. The editor is John Nolte, who previously blogged at Dirty Harry's Place. Check out the wonderful competitive dance video at the link.

Many of the initial posts on Big Hollywood are more confrontational in tone than I like. There seems to be a lot of pent-up emotion being expressed as defiance against the dominant Hollywood culture, which is perceived by some as being tyrannical. It's a site worth keeping in mind if you're interested in the effects of popular culture on the way we look at the world.
