These fools don't realize they don't have nearly enough homosexual, lesbian, and pedophile priest, minister, and rabbi films. Make them and they will come. I hope they aren't listening in, because I don't really want them to know this secret to success.

Heh, heh.

King Kong was completely unbelievable ... except for the huge bugs that ate the sailors.

And .. in case you haven't heard, the movie "Syriana" is about showing the terrorists as GOOD GUYS. They don't want to kill people - they just want to destroy property!

I wonder of the families of the dead from the WTC, the Pentagon and Flight 93 believe that .. I know I sure don't!

Hollywood Sees Biggest Box Office Decline in 20 Years, Blames Bush

Domestic revenues at movie theaters may fall below $9 billion for the first time since 2001 after averaging $9.3 billion over the last three years. Factoring in higher admission prices, the number of tickets sold is expected to finish at about 1.4 billion, the lowest since 1997. That marks the largest drop since admissions fell 12 percent in 1985.

Some studio executives are blaming President Bush.

“If Bush hadn’t been such a distraction for so many of us, maybe we could’ve made better movies,” said Pinky Sfinktir, press secretary for the Screen Actors’ Guild. “Bush is doing all this governing stuff we don’t approve of.”

Sfinktir’s list of complaints included the war, tax cuts and a general “uncoolness” about the president, especially compared to his immediate predecessor.

Sfinktir suggested that President Bush resign for the good of the nation. “If Bush would step aside so the Supreme Court could appoint someone cool to replace him, we’d all be better off,” said Sfinktir. “We’ve got some great movies in the pipeline, though.”

Upcoming films touted by Sfinktir include “Under the President’s Desk” -- a musical based on an affair between a president and an intern, “Omaha Bitch” -- a homosexual romance between two soldiers during the Normandy landings, and “Meet the Crips” -- a comedy based on the street gang founded by recently-executed murderer, Tookis Williams. All are rated “R.”

Sfinktir chuckled when he mention that last one. “Doesn’t the name ‘Tookis’ just make you want to laugh?” asked Sfinktir. “We feel movies like these will bring people back to the theaters. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see films like these?”

Earth to Hollywood. Make a movie positive about the U.S. military in Iraq or Afghanistan and people will flock to it.

I can't imagine why Hollywood is suffering at the box office with 2005 offerings like these...

(1) A "Western" featuring fudge-packing sheep-herders
(2) A "tearjerker" featuring a pre-op male-to-female transsexual
(3) Evil drug companies comitting genocide in Africa for profit
(4) Portayal of the Munich '72 murderers as freedom-fighting family men, and Israelis as bloodthirsty criminals
(5) Tales of a bi-sexual hitman

And these are just the Oscar front-runners! What else could American familes want to see???

I think the movie industry in the USA is far more interested in foreign sales than USA box office. But alas, the increasing losses from overly-expensive movies with a leftist political agenda will come back to haunt Hollywood very soon.

They still haven't figured out the lessons of The Passion of the Christ, haven't they?
