Name: Big Hollywood
-
Location: Holllywood, CA
Flat out one of the weirdest film blogs
I’ve come across, Big Hollywood is the hydrocephalic brainchild of Matt Drudge
acolyte Andrew Breitbart (both pictured, at right), whose names should give you an idea of
what to expect: a somber, right-wing take on the entertainment
industry. From the big to the small screen, Big Hollywood’s humorless
staff turns a cynical, hyper-critical eye on the liberal cesspool of
communist anti-American propaganda known as Hollywood. It’s hard to
tell if these guys really love pop culture or they really hate it,
but either way, the angry mashup of politics and entertainment
certainly makes for an interesting read.*
As always, don’t forget to follow Nick, Renn, Alex, Sam Strange, Dr_Ultimately, and CHUD on Twitter.
*when you’re not reading CHUD, that is. Except for all the trolls. You should go there. You should go there now.
