Keyser Sose Meets the Devil

Academy Award winning actor Kevin Spacey has joined forces with his fellow anti-America hollywood types, Sean Penn and Danny Glover and visted with Hugo Chavez yesterday. While no one would speak openly about what was discussed Spacey spent several hours meeting and dining with Chavez:

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Actor Kevin Spacey met privately Monday with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, one of Washington's most outspoken critics in
Latin America.

Neither Spacey — who has won Academy Awards for roles in "The Usual Suspects" and "American Beauty" — nor Chavez spoke to the press after the nearly three-hour encounter in the presidential palace in Caracas. They shook hands warmly on the red carpet as Spacey left after a dinner with Chavez.

Hours earlier, the actor visited a $13 million film studio founded last year by the government to support Venezuelan filmmaking. Details were not released about the rest of Spacey's itinerary.

Chavez has said Venezuela hopes to produce its own films as an alternative to the "cultural imperialism" of Hollywood. Yet, Chavez speaks highly of some Hollywood films.

He has also hosted recent visits by stars including Sean Penn and Danny Glover.

Apparantly Spacey is unable to make the real anti-American films he wants in Hollywood, we all know how repressed and conservative Hollywood is, especially with people liek George Clooney making his ultra conservative films about the glory of America.

For an inside look into how left Hollywood really is stop by and visit Huntress at her blog Diary of a Hollywood Refugee.

She writes:

I've been attending screenings, parties, & schmoozing with the rich and boring at The Toronto Film Festival.

Later I'll talk about the films that have done well, but it should come as no surprise that the response to several Iraq themed films that are screening here,including Redacted, Valley of Elah, Rendition and Battle for Haditha, has been lackluster.

At first I thought that perhaps this was only the opinion of a small minority, but in truth, it's not.While Reuters insists the films have had "positive response", a reality
check proves otherwise.

A top inde producer told Reuters that he did not believe:

" the many Iraq war movies playing here would find audiences,..... people were tired of being bombarded with war and killing on television, the Web and in newspapers and magazines."

That aptly expresses the general feeling towards theses films by those in the industry and by the general public in attendance at the festival. Also weighing in is film critic Richard Roeper, a liberal who is no fan of the Bush administration:

"Of course we shouldn't shirk from the atrocities, alleged and confirmed, committed by our side. But would it be so horrible to make a film showing American soldiers performing genuine heroics?"

I couldn't agree more! Why is it so wrong to show American Soldiers doing good deeds instead of stereotyping them all as uneducated killers who can't function in everyday society? Why must Hollywood only show American Soldiers the return from Iraq and immediately become bankrobbers or master criminals?

Hollywood is showing their obvious bias and for actors like Spacey, Glover and Penn to visit with and gain the support of Chavez is an affront to decent society.
