I've written before about Hollywood's hatred for their own audience and their resulting financial woes. Today, rather than spend another post forecasting the American film industry's demise, I think it's high time to suggest an actionable plan to make sure the forces of Christendom and the West will fill the…

IT (2017)

Art by Rabbittooth My low opinion of Hollywood, particularly their creative bankruptcy, is a matter of public record.
