How is this an anti-Tea Party movie? Not that I'm that excited about the film itself, but I'm curious why you're seeing this as something political when I see this as yet another science fiction dystopia film. Frankly, it sounds like a "Logan's Run" rip-off. K – what are you talking about? How is this an anti-Tea Party movie?

I definitely welcome competition to Pixar's well deserved stranglehold on animated movies because competition breeds better films. But I think the jury is still deliberating over whether or not Illumination will make a run at Pixar or just fall by the waste side. Remember, Dreamworks hit it big with Shrek and have done mostly nil since. I liked Despicable Me better as a film than Shrek, so they're already ahead of Dreamworks in that department, but as for just pure unadulterated fun, Shrek and all of Pixar's movies could teach a few things to the new guys.

She has been a disaster for California. And you raise a good point about film production - where is it? Hasn't it plummeted in California thanks to Democrat mismanagement of the state economy? Why does Hollywood keep supporting these people? I simply cannot understand why so much of Hollywood would turn out to support Barbara Boxer. She has been a disaster for California.
