Operation Hollywood (Pentagon censoring movie content)

Has your favorite movies or TV shows been censored or meddled with by the Pentagon? The answer is most likely "yes." This documentary shows how since the 80's, and the success of "Top Gun", Hollywood has increased its production of big budget war movies, using military bases, submarines and aircraft carriers that the armed forces have made available to the studios for PR purposes. In exchange, the Pentagon's experts censor and dictate changes in hundreds of screenplays each year, a process that has been happening to TV and movies since WWII. A fascinating "Passionate Eye" CBC documentary (you didn't expect such reports to be made by US media did you?!). See http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeyesunday/feature_241004.html for more information. (Also, MotherJones.com has an interview on the same topic; it doesn't contain as much glitz but probably has just as much content http://www.motherjones.com/news/qa/2004/09/09_403.html.)
