This might be the most revealing anecdote about the intolerant culture of present-day Hollywood in, well, ever. Get this: some genius producer at Sony digitally removed the words Holy Bible from a Holy Bible in a scene because he thought

Responding critically to my piece from Monday where I call out certain Hollywood types for their breathtaking hypocrisy in laying blame for Saturday’s Tucson tragedy at the feet of Sarah Palin, a political cross-hairs map, and right-wing rhetoric, Film School
Walden Media is the production company responsible for “Waiting for Superman,” “Amazing Grace,” “Bridge to Terabitha,” and many more titles most film-goers and especially parents are familiar with. The company is owned by Philip Anschultz who has made clear he
