"this thing scores through the roof with the female demographic all across the country."

Howdya figure? Faggot films aren't chick flicks. Women like to see traditional romances.

"Good...I'm always looking for a reason not to get sucked (pun intended) into the tube. Especially by the Oscars."

I suggest that you and all others, myself included- who are SICK and TIRED of Hollywierdos, and their boring, sick, lame, perverted "movies" which seem to be attached to uneducated, left wing moon-bat political opinions disguised as "movie promotions" - spend your time more wisely. Buy some bait, go fishing, spend time with the kids, or dump your Democrat girlfriend. ANYTHING but spend a penny for Hollywierd. Buy a "Bollywood" movie in spite.

Went to see Narnia today and was one of the best movies ever. Disney did a great job and did not hide the message of Jesus. Great movie.

Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops

As for political films -- the field is crowded with potential winners: "Munich," "Good Night, and Good Luck," "Syriana," and "The Constant Gardener."

Plus "Bareback Mount-Me"...every single film a far-left wing diatribe or propaganda piece. Amazing! Hollyweird clearly wants a wrose box office next year than their record low in 2005.

The whole thing comes down to the fact that most Americans realize that Hollywood is now promoting its liberal/left agenda and that their "thought monopoly" is gone. Thirty years ago most Americans looked at the evening news (NBC, CBS, ABC) at the same time and heard the same opinions from the same three anchors expressing the same things. Now, with the internet, talk radio, and 24/7 cable news that monopoly is gone forever. Still, Hollywood remains clueless. They are stuck in the 50's and 60's. I'm not saying that good films must have conservative or liberal orientation - far from it. But somehow in some way some modicum of "objectivity" must be restored if these producers ever expect to regain any respect or support.

Speaking of Bollywood, Korean soap opera drama DVDs are all the rage in Hawaii and California.

And they're G-rated.

"Who will be emcee at the Oscars? Ellen DeGeneres, Nathan Lane, or Rosie O'Donnell?"

My money is on PeeWee Herman. He is both gay and a pedophile.

These Oscars are a free advertisement for the Republican Convention! I wish they were closer to election day in 2006.

"This film may pass the smell test in large cities with large homo populations, but I doubt it will fill many seats in small-town America."

I live near a small "city" town, which has one theatre, I know the owner well. The show has been running since Tuesday, and runs 2 times nightly, 7&9 pm. last show tonight. In that town of 25,000 people, The owner says he has sold 95 tickets in total for the three days. He's never seen such a poor crowd in all his years he claims.

Why did he show it? How many screens does he have? It should have been obvious this movie wouldn't do well in his theater.

LOL

I bet it does great on Middle East TV, though. I suspect most of these terrorists are pervs who do it with boys, as I've read is the case more often in the Middle East than you might think.

I've never seen any of that stuff. Are they any good? I'm not much of a TV or movie fan, regardless of who makes them.

I became sickened by the industry years ago, turning on the TV just bombards a person with Hollywierdo "news" and perversions of the sick and twisted, repeated 10 times a day on every "free" channel a person can receive with rabbit ears.

I have on occasion sat at friend's houses and watched "satellite TV, where they can get 350 channels, which broadcast the same hollywierdo "news" and perverted lifestyles ten times a day. I can never understand why anyone would pay for that.
