‘You Sent Me to Whore School!’

That’s a line from Red Sparrow, the latest “strong woman” tale from Hollywood, a genuinely wretched movie starring Jennifer Lawrence. After watching the trailer for that and other recent films, Professor Ann Althouse has seen enough of this toxic cultural sludge:

Notice how they all have strong female characters at the center but everything is paranoid, violent, and sexual. . . . Hollywood is sick. Evil. Corrupting our soul.

Well, it’s not corrupting my soul, because I ignore 99% of it. Except for news and documentaries, I seldom watch TV at all. Movies? My tastes run to classics, like old film noir. Basically, something from the 1940s where guys wear fedoras, smoke cigarettes and talk about “dames.”
