“They were men”

As a counterpoint to the radical feminist diatribe below, here’s the Duke, who wasn’t Catholic in life but prayerfully is now, offering a bit of American history and sociology:

I haven’t been to a movie theater in years.  We almost never watch TV and rarely rent a movie.  The few DVDs I own are heavy on John Wayne and John Ford.  If they start making movies like they used to, with stars that love this country and unabashedly sing its praises in a rational, non-pithy manner, I’ll be back.  I’m not holding my breath.

Is it uncharitable to wish death on Hollywood as an institution and cultural phenomenon?

UPDATE: I should have hat tipped this to CMR.  My bad.
