Fortunately Rudolph was finally accepted by the other reindeers and proved himself with his skill snapping wet towels on bare buttocks.

Not one of them has ever kicked in the door to a right-wing militia's high tech bunker though, at least to my knowledge. Well what the hell are they wasting their time on then?

They spend all their time playing Ludo, because anything that requires any skill or intellect is lost on them.

There's an animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movie where the reindeer games are actually these chariot races where reindeers pull sleds with elf drivers in them.

The reason Rudolph isn't allowed to join in any reindeer games is that the one time he did compete, he used his nose to blind another reindeer and was excluded for having an unfair advantage.

Yeah, it was a reasonable response, but Rudolph never forgave. After that fateful night Rudolph was been shown to be indispensable and risen to be Santa's second. He now rules the North Pole in Santa's name and ushered in a new Reign of Terror.

I mean, the second half of your sentence is totally wrong, but Rudolph really did originate as a marketing venture for Montgomery Ward.

I can't remember if it's possible to edit-out all of Mickey Rooney's scenes in Breakfast at Tiffany's and have the resulting movie still sense. Though there's nothing you can do about the child-bride thing.

That line always makes me wince when it comes up but I think it’s still in character for Jeremy. He thinks he’s progressive and thoughtful but scenes like that and “I’m a better black man than Johnson” make it clear he’s part of The Man he rages against, primarily by wanking and watching the poker channel. I haven’t seen Webb’s tweets though.

You go back to the 40s and 50s and I think most big Hollywood stars tended to be conservative in terms of politics, even before blacklisting. Doris Day, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Dean Martin, Gary Cooper, to some extent Sammy Davis Jr. (actively involved in civil rights but chums with Nixon and Reagan) and most infamously John Wayne (who went from saying, "I didn't vote for JFK but he is my president and he hope he does his best," to proclaiming that he was a white supremacist and thought people protesting against Vietnam should be shot in the space of about five years).

Interview with Playboy in 1971; the relevant part is actually on Wikipedia: quote:With a lot of blacks, there’s quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent, and possibly rightfully so. But we can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks. I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.”

john wayne's pretty weird yeah, on the one hand he had a pretty optimistic view of what westerns should be - regular folk facing frontier adversity together and overcoming their obstacles with the spirits of co-operation and peace to eventually build a society - and he felt so strongly about it he vomited in his mouth when he saw high noon and called it the most unamerican thing he'd ever seen but on the other hand his definition of regular folk explicitly excluded native americans and blacks and instead shifted native americans into the obstacles you face on the frontier, peace in that case was abhorrent; the mental gymnastics he used for explaining why he personally believed it was righteous to steal their land are legendary and have all aged like fine wine

John Wayne was tipped to star in High Noon but pulled out when he realised it was an anti-blacklisting movie, because he thought blacklisting was awesome. Gary Cooper was chosen to replace him partly because he was about as conservative as Wayne, but was also (either before or after, as a result of his participation) very strongly against blacklisting. Another John Wayne story I like is how, after Rex Stout wrote The Doorbell Rang, in which J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI are portrayed as corrupt, authoritarian and overreaching, Wayne sent him a very whiny letter complaining that he had been a fan of Nero Wolfe for nearly 30 years but would never read another one again because he was so offended by the idea that the FBI would act against American citizens. James Stewart was also a notable Hollywood conservative from those days (I have no idea what he felt the underlying message of It's a Wonderful Life to be) but still managed to be good friends with Henry Fonda despite their differences over politics. Of course it's sort of funny how arguably the ultimate Hollywood conservative post-John Wayne - I'm talking about Charlton Heston - once had a reputation as a bit of a bleeding heart who was pro-gun control and marched with Martin Luther King.
