Interestingly, the current issue of Imprimis, the free newsletter from Hillsdale College (and which I heartily recommend to all HC members) has text from a speech by Michael Medved.
Medved is a radio talk show host, film critic and author of ten books, including Hollywood vs America. In his March 9 Hillsdale speech he says: "In 1970, more than 70 percent of all revenues for the major studios in Hollywood came from the U.S. Today this number is less than 30 percent. Hollywood has conquered the world. It sells tons of movies and DVDs in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and increasingly in China and India...As recently as 1965, 45 million Americans attended movies every week. Our population has nearly doubled since then, and yet today the number of moviegoers per week is barely 20 million. In other words, the American film industry has become conspicuously less American." It's a helluva speech (which I had not read before today). Check it out and order a free subscription to Imprimis at THIS LINK.
