On Monday, Ms. Obama is to join a discussion with military family members and representatives of the Directors Guild of America, the Writers Guild of America, and others, all focused on ways to \u201cinform and inspire\u201d Hollywood creators regarding the military.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That first line is the understatement of all time. Since imagination left Hollywood a long time ago, the military makes the best villian, but maybe she can inspire them to head off the production of this generation&#8217;s &#8220;Deer Hunter&#8221;, &#8220;Who&#8217;ll Stop the Rain&#8221; or &#8220;Apocalypse Now&#8221;. But I&#8217;m pretty sure she&#8217;s just pissing in the wind when it comes to Hollywood. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim sends us a link from the New York Times which reports that the First Lady &hellip; <a title=\"Michelle Obama takes on Hollywood\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=25846\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Michelle Obama takes on Hollywood<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25846\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
