Its devotion to obligatory sexual content is what keeps us away. I wanted to take my kids to see "Troy", the Alexander the Great movie, and the King Arthur flick until I found out there was nudity, sex scenes, bisexuality, etc. etc. Blecch - no thanks.

Just as an example, I will bet that Jarhead, Jamie Foxx's latest anti-war yawner, fails dismally at the box office, while The Chronicles of Narnia, based on CS Lewis' morality allegories, makes a tidy profit. I will go so far as to say that Narnia will out-gross Jarhead.
