Good quality books/art/movies mean books/art/movies that uplift, inspire and help instill higher values and purpose in those who read/see/watch them.
Did I use the words “Christian” or “conservative”?
I mean non-degrading, non-sluttish, non-soft porn, non-mindless stupidity, etc.
One problem with this discussion is that you are throwing stones in an unreasonable way, making accusations of grape throwing [and I don’t know what on earth you mean], ivory towers, judging others and a host of odd criticisms that don’t appear to have anything to do with - well, anything.
All I’m saying is that if someone who values moral principles wants to made a difference in our country which is on a speed train to depravity and tyranny, working on TV and movies in degrading and mindless entertainmentis not a useful or productive way to go about making positive change. Why? Because everyone in charge there is a progressive/leftist/depravity promoter. Underlings serve the boss.
If people want to make books/art/movies/shows with uplifting, inspiring, moral messages, they’ll have to make their own projects*, not work on the crap others are making and hope to make a difference just with their winning personalities.
*And they WILL have an audience - many, many people are hungry for books/art/movies with uplifting messages and themes.
no--and i didn't say you did... i wanted to be clear on what i meant...
GeonL judged my niece without knowing her... spoke about her in generalities--that are way off... yes, she is lingerie model... yes she did a reality show... and so she basically has no value as far as he is concerned... but there is so much more to than her lingerie and reality show... she has a lot mor in common with him than he realizes... frankly i have no idea why you came into the discussion at all...
but when you shared your opinion on conservatives having to start their own industry, i shared my difference of opinion... ivory towers and throwing grapes at Jupiter are merely metaphors... i use them to paint a picture to get my thoughts across... they are not unreasonable... trying to make a mark on the culture by separating ourselves is like throwing grapes at Jupiter... and staying out of the culutre completely is like living in an ivory tower...
