For example, the reviewers on the PBS show "At the movies" have always had to put down action/adventure/entertainment movies to keep their phony baloney jobs. They had a simple rule to follow Artsy-fartsy = good and Escapist = bad. There is a good jab at this philosophy in the movie "Neverending story", to summarize - People who fantasize have imagination and are hard to control, stamp out imagination and you can get power over them.
