Notice how the money makers like Narnia don't even make THEIR radar screen. It's the depraved that turns liberals on and wins awards.

Both films (Narnia and Brokeback) were released on the same day: December 9th. To date Narnia has grossed $278 million while Brokeback has grossed $51 million.
When this sort of film is heralded by the Hollywood elite as "great" yet, comparatively, nobody goes to see it, is it a wonder why box office receipts go down year after year? Can they be anymore out of touch with what people want when they go to the movies.

I haven't watched the Oscars since they snubbed Pamela Anderson for "Barb Wire."

Did you see Disney try and say that this movie had no "Christian" elements, and that it is merely a "fantasy" movie.
CS Lewis was one of the prominent Catholic writers of the 20th century and the first book of his major work (a trilogy)has nothing to do with Christianity? Yep.
But, as far as being nominated for an Oscar, the movie wasn't that great...Lord of the Rings with a more obvious Christian element. This is Hollywood after all.
And, Brokeback has made quite a lot of money considering the subject matter, and the non-blockbuster element.

You got it...Narnia was my 3 movie in 7 years so it's folks like me who are putting their money where their mouth is toward Hollyweird who WON'T be watching for Brokenback to win.
