“Sullivan” is John L. Sullivan from the Preston Sturges' classic "Sullivan's Travels."
Sullivan (Joel McCrea) is a successful Depression-era Hollywood film director unhappy with the fluffy, unimportant comedies that have made him wealthy. Fed up and filled with bleeding-heart fervor, our sophisticate takes to the open road disguised as a tramp seeking experiences with the "common man" so he can return to Hollywood and make "important" pictures with great "social meaning" in order to help everyday people.
At the end of his long, hilarious and ultimately harrowing journey, Sullivan does get in touch with the common man and does learn what he can do to help: He learns that people just want to be entertained. They want to laugh. They want to sit in the dark for a couple hours and be taken as far away as possible from their troubles.
So, true to his word, Sullivan returns to Hollywood and keeps right on making those “unimportant” comedies.

One of the artists on that call got hold of Breitbart and said they’re turning the National Endowment for the Arts and www.Serve.gov, the latest website out of the White House, into political instruments, and there are four pieces written on this at BigGovernment.com. But all it really exposes up ’til now is that the NEA was lying about their coordination with the Obama White House on spreading propaganda. This is the thing that George Will had a comment on This Week, said some laws were broken in this call. Then after some attention was focused on this they announced that the National Endowment for the Arts director of communications Yosi Sargent had been reassigned. They said he was fired but he was actually just reassigned. (more…)
