>>It’s been going that way for years. The late great actor Ron Silver, self described liberal who was mugged on 9/11, was on Book TV a few years ago and told us why. Hollywood’s priorities aren’t the US box office anymore. It’s now foreign releases and DVD sales. Also what drove all of the anti American films for the past few years.
Its our own fault. Hollywood can make a movie full of anti-American, anti-family, anti-Christian content, but if it has “great special effects” and “lots of action”, many people will see it anyway. They’ll tell you, “I didn’t see it for the plot, which was terrible. I just didn’t want to miss the special effects and they were AWESOME! You should go see it—in 3D!!”
We are Pavlov’s Dog.
Many will see it specifically for the anti-American, anti-family, anti-Christian content.
About a third of our country (all on the left) share those opinions and love to have them validated.
Indeed.
I have argued with my fellow Christians about “Avatar”, which espoused values that were not (IMO) Christian. I refused to pay money to see it.
I was basically told that I was silly and bigoted.
By my fellow Christians.
