How I ran across this stinker of a movie and why I liked it

Just bought a nostalgia DVD called "The Decade You Were Born In: The 80s" because I graduated high school in 1983 and recall this decade fondly even if I didn't have much money or a cool car to enjoy it in.

Anyways, "Bailout" was a bonus film on this disc and I'd never heard of it, so what the hell, it looks cheezy and even cheezy movies have their moments.

I was not disappointed, it was cheeziness defined. However, it did star the Hoffmeister and Linda Blair and it is always fun to see these two, especially Linda who, all grown up isn't too hard on the eyes.

The plot is boiler-plate and predictable with all the obligatory chase scenes and gun play, but the best part for me is watching the stereotyped characters. The 1980s was the last decade, IMO, before Political Correctness (read "Leftist Speech Oppression") began to really take hold in our society.

There are some movies worth re-watching every year, this one is more like once a decade, if that.

The Hispanic guy with a huge brood of kids would never fly in a movie today.

Well..............................

Not necessarily. If you watch a lot of movies, you'll notice that there is a lot of stuff that they get away with. The reason is simple, Hollywood polices itself, which is to say, they look the other way more often than not.

Hollywood is controlled by the Left (and not by the Jews, as popularly believed) and therefore exists a HUGE double-standard which only the Left could get away with. The reason is simple; we conservatives are held to an impossibly higher standard.

Thanks for replying to an obscure posting!
