The people in entertainment who consider themselves artists despise family values,so they always want to make/produce/star "work that pushes the limits and explores new ground..."

The limits they push are usually good taste and decency,and the new ground is likely to be in a garbage dump.

Yep, limits being pushed in movies such as Brokeback, for example?

Brokeback was critically acclaimed by the movie critics, liberals, etc. It did well at the box office in some markets, but not in others. The liberals has some meltdowns at the fact that Brokeback was banned from some movieplexes.

One of the biggest grossing movies of all time was The Passion of the Christ. But we won’t see any major movies with religious themes such as this anytime soon.

It's all well and good to "advance the art", but don't expect to become rich doing it. The real geniuses are those that can push the envelope and engage the multitudes. Anything else is just singing to the choir.

Ah, so you've seen the trailer for "The Kids Are All Right?"

Offspring of lesbian couple seeks sperm donor Dad.

And it is classified as a "family comedy."
