I'm doing my part.
When do you think the schism occured?
i couldn't agree with you all more. especially that hotel rwanda movie. what a waste! how stupid to nominate an actor portraying someone who saved over a thousand people from certain death. ugh.
The audience for movies has dropped significantly since the introduction of the MPAA ratings code back in the mid 1960s. The reasons for the record box office results are not because more people are going, it is because tickets are costing more, and there are more people who watch a movie multiple times. Less individuals are watching movies in the theatre than 10 years ago.
The effete elite who dominate the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences apparently went out of their way to select Oscar nominees that are especially offensive to the vast majority of the American public. Middle America, in some measure, still adheres to the Christian faith and morality that are so abhorrent to the atheist and hedonist sensibilities of Hollywood.
So am I snarks. I just don't go to see that tripe. But I differ with you. Hollywoody would just sell overseas. And maybe eventually move there. In my opinion, many of our leader across this land just suck. It's all about their pockets regardless if they are preachers, actors, politicians, school boards, local gov. etc. The list just go on. I have reined in many of my money leaks.
