Here's my list of the Best Conservative Films. 🧵 Identifying conservative movies requires defining conservatism. In this context, we mean temperamental conservatism which may overlap — but is not necessarily synonymous — with politically right-wing. boxd.it/wqgPq

Guillermo del Toro praises Clint Eastwood's JUROR #2: "Why was this not released wide in the states? [...] I truly hope WB can hold it longer. Eastwood is a master filmmaker & the steady, unfussy craft reveals him still in great form." tinyurl.com/59b9t6hs

This is a great list with some unexpected inclusions I would certainly add: - Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World - The Right Stuff - Gladiator - 1776

They love this show so much in my neighborhood, I can hear it from their open doors. This show is huge!

Before the boot camp, the guys admire the girls’ bikinis, saying they make them look svelte and enhance their thighs and butts. This isn't a midnight show; it airs at 4 pm. No one should be shocked that Hispanics don’t vote like kids at Sarah Lawrence—it’s a different culture.

Good thread

The #1 entertainment show for US Hispanics is literally called The Fat Guy and the Skinny Chick. It regularly features women in hot tubs and midget tossing à la Wolf of Wall Street. Whoever told Dems Hispanics share the PC sensibilities of white liberals committed malpractice.

39 years ago today… Billy Ocean released this banger…

From Rewind

Speaking of Spanish TV: Here’s a promo still of El Premio Mayor (The Grand Prize), a very popular 90s telenovela. It’s about a blue-collar guy who wins the lottery, gold plates his life, and surrounds himself with models. So yeah, totally stunned by the changing Hispanic vote!

Just to be clear: My point is not that the show is bad or should be pulled. I'm highlighting the disconnect between progressive elites and the Hispanic voters—whose support they’re trying to win—consider culturally acceptable. Of course, the opposite is also true...

I was an executive at Univision for 9+ years. I worked on the launch of El Gordo y La Flaca as a management trainee. Fact check: 100% true.

Best explanation so far why Democrats lost the Hispanic vote.

I wouldn’t frame it like that. Hispanics are culturally moderate—neither prudishly uptight nor excessively politically correct. It’s simply a different culture, closer to where mainstream America was in the ’90s and early 2000s: relaxed, fun, and less hypersensitive.

Id it why the anti transgender ads were so effective? Is this the new Southern Strategy for GOP, appeal to fears and prejudices of Latinos voters?

Really great thread by my friend @GiancarloSopo with actual examples of a slice of what Hispanic culture is actually like.

If you dont have much visibility into Latino culture, this brief thread is worth a look. Also, when I am appointed Secretary of Better Television, I promise to not only provide Gordo y Flaca on broadcast tv SAP'd in English, but I will also Make Sabado Gigante Again.
