HOLLYWOOD SHOWS ITS TRUE COLORS
The American Film Institute polled Hollywood types to come up with a list of the top 50 heroes and the top 50 villains in movie history. While I was looking in vain for Thomas More from A Man for All Seasons, I was suprised to find that "Man" made the list. I'd find it odd that they listed "Man" and not "Humankind" or some other PC nonsense, except that "Man's" appearance was on the Villain list for Bambi. Whatever. I really don't take it that seriously, just for the entertainment that it is.

Although PC heroines like Norma Rae Webster (not, Norma McCorvey, who won't be portrayed as a hero by Hollywood in the future), Karen Silkwood, Erin Brokovich and Thelma & Louise, I can't complain because of the appearances of the Terminator, Rocky, Dirty Harry Callahan, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Indiana Jones as good guys.
