And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Ex-Hollywood Writer: Why Modern Movies Suck, and a few more sorta important things as well.
He's not an ex-Hollywood writer, he just doesn't GAF about the biz any more. That's Andrew Klavan, he's a really funny and intelligent guy, and has made literally dozens of conservative videos, originally for Andrew Breitbart's channel. Look him up on YouTube, because there's literally nothing he's done that will disappoint.
He wrote movies like Blood Work and A Shock To The System.
"If you can write a movie and get Clint Eastwood or Michael Caine to star in it, I highly recommend it." - Andrew Klavan
You can tell he's a writer. His ability to communicate his thoughts on the fly, so concisely and memorably, is an art. I like the guy. He sees through things so well.
I did not watch the video. Usually don't on blog posts... However, I agree that today's movies suck. It's been more than a decade since I've been to a theater. I met my wife six years ago and she's a huge movie buff. Old movies. Watching those movies are a totally different experience. You have solid storylines, character development, and great dialog. Today's movies are very much lacking in each of those areas. They're not worth it.
That is a remarkable 15 minutes

Andrew's a convert to Christianity and Conservatism. That's a rare conversion for a NYC born fundamental Jew.
