I don’t doubt this.

And PG and PG-13 movies make more money for Hollywood than R rated movies. But guess which types of movies Hollywood makes more of?

It doesn’t make sense, huh? But Hollyweird would rather pump out filth than make a buck or two.

It seems to me that someone could make a “hyper-conservative” movie, showing liberals and leftists for what they are, as long as the actors are wearing enough makeup so that they cannot be identified.

It would have to be direct to DVD, as theaters wouldn’t run it, and no distributor would touch it. Importantly, it couldn’t have an overriding religious theme because then it could just be dismissed as a religious movie.

Much of it would cover the gamut of foul liberalism and leftism, but without referencing real people.

Showing the horrible hypocrisy, racism, sexism, antisemitism, anti-American, anti-religious, authoritarian and oppressive, perverted, stupid and hateful side of liberals and the left. All wrapped in lies, cheating, sanctimony and pseudo-intellectualism.

How they corrupt everything they touch, and curse those who are fair and honest in any way.

If it had real bite, it would make a fortune.

I just watched Courageous over the weekend. Very good movie made by a conservative Baptist Church group about fatherhood. This same group made the movies Facing the Giants, and Fireproof. Fireproof stayed around at the theaters for several weeks, and grossed several million dollars. I think the movie was made for only $500,000 or less.

Seems to work for TV, too, considering NCIS’s standing.

(Yeah, I know, they occasionally go PC with persecuted Muslims and CIA bad-apples, but the basic structure about personal loyalty, loyalty to country, the loving portrayal of the USMC, and the fact that often enough there really are Al Qaeda types as bad-guys still puts the show solidly in the conservative category.)

And yet Hollyweird continues to make movies that they know will offend most of their potential customers. Further proof that these people are not rational...

We just saw the movie The Secrets Of Jonathan Sperry and Courageous at our church. Not an empty seat in the house.

If they would “follow the money” and make more movies most people want instead of using consumers’ funds to hijack our culture, maybe the ticket prices would be more reasonable.

I find this conclusion a little tenuous. The movies mentioned are hardly overtly “conservative”. Conservative movies like Atlas Shrugged barely make a blip. How much money have conservative documentaries made - they don’t even come close to liberal documentaries. And conservatives seem to always bomb on comedies.

Interesting. According to these people, the number of liberal films (105) and the number of conservative films (91) is pretty close

I just got back from Movieguide.org. It took a while to find, because the article didn’t have the link, and the article it linked to didn’t have it. I went looking for good family movies to add to my Netflix queue, but it is a link pimp disaster. For instance, they have a list of top 100 movies, which would require 100 clicks to access. 100 slow loading, graphic heavy clicks. So, it isn’t going in my favorites.
