"#President #FranklinDRoosevelt mobilized the #Hollywood #film industry to boost national morale and enhance understanding of the #UnitedStates’ participation in #WorldWarII.

#Jewish #directors and #screenwriters ranging from #GeorgeCukor to #BuddSchulberg played a significant role in wartime #filmmaking. They #produced #documentaries and #movies that were at once educational, entertaining and politically useful in the advancement of #US war aims.

As Michael Berkowitz observes in Hollywood’s Unofficial Film Corps: American Jewish Moviemakers And The War Effort (The University of Wisconsin Press), they were “extraordinarily effective” in assisting the US armed forces and binding #Americans together."

Just watched one of the most recent #RiffTrax - "Champagne and Bullets" (1993).

I don't know anything about the guy behind the original movie, which stinks, but it was a vanity project, written, produced, directed, edited by, starring, and even featuring songs written and sung by him. And he is a fellow who absolutely, positively was not capable of doing any of those things.

My partner brought out one of her favourite sayings in these types of situations: "Oh, to have the confidence of a mediocre white man."

Makes a good RiffTrax, though.

I just watched a promo for #Prime #documentary on #JohnCandy called #ILikeMe.

[Directed by #ColinHanks & #produced by #RyanReynolds.]

Favourite #quote from the short promo: “You’ve been in more turkeys than stuffing!”

Almost everyone they show being interviewed cried as they remembered their friend. 💔
