Probably true. It’s not like Hollywood is an accurate source of information about anything. (Climate change, asteroid impacts, the legal system, the military, romance, sex, business, anything.) But I fail to see how this is a rationality quote. I’m sure there are many more quotes of the form “Group X is wrong about Topic Y.”
I would prefer to limit quotes to those that that teach us how to tell whether or how much Group X is right or wrong about Topic Y, and skip quotes that merely turn on the applause lights on a particular topic.

The quote isn’t just about Hollywood being wrong, it’s about a specific way that it’s wrong.
