Who thinks like that?

Obviously, if I think like that, someone does. Let's remember this is Hollywood. They are in the business of projecting images (pun intended). If the image is that conservative ideas only show up in comic-book style movies, they subtly brand conservative ideas as fantasy. Also, they remove the intellectual component from conservatism.

I don't think there needs to be a conservative "Dinner with Andre"-type movie, but it need to be more than a John McClain-style blow-em-up action adventure.

You mean like “The Blind Side”? Nominated for Best Picture.

You mean like “Passion of the Christ”? It was the 5th highest grossing movie of 2004.

You mean like almost all the Pixar movies?

Conservative messages are out there if you look for them. But when the number 1 movie for the weekend has bold conservative messages, is it really wise to complain about how it’s “a comic book movie”.
