"Chronicles of Narnia" has made tons of $$$."
What? I thought the big hit of the Holiday season was "Brokeback Mountain".
Remember Narnia when you see Brokeback Mountain score a hundred Oscar nominations. It has nothing to do with the sales of the movies...it has to do with foppish, whiny "artists" pandering to their peers and telling the rest of us to shut up and buy their spew...after all, Hollywood is much smarter than we are!
How I long for the Hollywood of sixty years ago when the Studio moguls ran it all. Movies were marketed TO the Midwest, and if Tallula Bankhead was a lesbian, they had people paid to ensure it never was uttered in the media. Don't get me wrong, Hollywood has always been unspeakably corrupt...but at one time, they at least were ashamed of it.
