The Death Star Is at the Mechanic's /
A Estrela da Morte Está no Mecânico

This evil, ugly, malignant dwarf has held our culture captive for nearly 40 years. He has kept us safe from ourselves. He is in large part the reason nothing good has come out of Hollywood for decades. He was the head of the motion picture ratings group - and now he is the subject of unfounded hero worship.
I like to sound informed, but the only reason I know about him and am going on this rant is because of the documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated. This is an amazing movie that you will probably never see due to its attack on the MPAA. Viewing it makes it hard to believe that people all over CA aren't popping champagne corks this day, including those currently extolling his virtues.
His boyscout maxims that litter the aforementioned film & are being broadcast posthumously are a thin veil for draconian ideology. He said things like, "There isn't anything in the world that can't be made better." It sounds good on the surface, but has a fascist aftertaste. I mean who says what better is or what is purely censorship? I say he's made the world better by leaving it.
Other Valentiisms:
- I sleep each night a little better, a little more confidently, because Lyndon Johnson is my president.
- No one today knows what is indecent.
- The VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman alone.
