Bush vs. Hollywood

During the 2000 debates, Bush claimed that he’s “been standing up to Big Hollywood”, but apparently he forgot about all the shitty movies he helped fund during the 80’s :

George W. Bush, who rails against the “pervasiveness of violence” in Hollywood, served for a decade on the board of a company that financed more than two dozen R-rated movies, including one in which a hitchhiker rips a young woman’s body in two.

His presidential campaign said Thursday that Bush played no role in Silver Screen Management Co.’s decision to finance the horror-suspense film, “The Hitcher,” which one reviewer in 1986 described as a “massacre about every 15 minutes” and another called “gizzard-slitting depravity.”

Luckily for us, one Amazon user was kind enough to put together a list of some of George’s R-rated films.
