Rob Reiner’s ‘God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism’ film opened up this weekend at the box office, and to the surprise of all progressives and no conservatives, it absolutely bombed, bringing in a mere $38,415 over an extended four-day weekend.
The film opened in 85 theaters, averaging $451 a theater over four days, which is incredibly low. Assuming it had at least one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings.
We’ve talking three or five people per showing, on average.
We’ve written before about the film, featuring the who’s who of bad faith liberals, such as Jemar Tisby, David French, Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Phil Vischer, Skye Jethani, William Barber, Russell Moore, and which alleges that politically active conservative Christians (all lumped together under the label “Christian Nationalism”) don’t understand True Christianity and have let politics subsume their faith.
The truth however if you take a look at who is delivering this message, it becomes clear this is a case of DARVO (an acronym for “deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender”).
To a person, the film’s talking heads all display eye-socket logs of theological compromise in service of politics. In this series of articles, we showed how “experts” of “God And Country” are either firmly outside Christianity in theology and practice or deeply compromised on basic Christian ethics. Two examples of the former:
Meet ‘God + Country’ Talking Head Simone Campbell: A Queer-Affirming Zen Mystic Who Denies Jesus’s Miracles
Meet “God + Country” Talking Head Anthea Butler: Christian In Name Only, Quite Literally
Despite these folks shilling for their terrible movie, no one cared about it it, which is great because it had nothing valuable to say.
He’s definitely not his famous father in terms of achievements.
So why are you promoting the film by posting the names and titles here?
It doesn’t matter. It just has to be in theaters for two weeks to qualify for best documentary Oscar nomination.
Since his bankrollers wish to remain anonymous and wouldn't want anyone to know they gave Reiner money for his anti-Christian movie, Reiner could then sell the same opportunity to multiple anti-Christians, like the movie 'The Producers'. Rob Reiner could be Max Bialystock in real life.
From Wikipedia for 'The Producers' (1967) written by Mel Brooks
"The Producers is ... about a theater producer and his accountant who scheme to get rich by fraudulently overselling interests in a stage musical purposely designed to fail. Accountant Leopold "Leo" Bloom... arrives at Max's office to audit his accounts and discovers a discrepancy in the accounts of Max's last play. Max persuades Leo to hide the relatively minor fraud, and while shuffling numbers, Leo realizes that, as a flop is expected to lose money, the IRS will not investigate its finances, so a producer could earn more from a flop than from a hit by overselling interests and embezzling the funds. For this same reason, no duped investor will be aware of the many others, thus protecting the pair from charges of fraud. Max instantly puts this scheme into action. They will oversell shares on a massive scale and produce a play that will close on opening night..."
Bernie Madoff worked his scam by telling his "investors" that they were getting in on a scam ripping off "the other guys". The "investors" didn't realize they were the mark of the con game and that there were no "other guys".
No you don’t.
America was founded by those escaping England’s National Religion - the Church of England.
That is why there is NO constitutional power delegated to the feds regarding religion.
Religion and faith in God is an individual’s free choice, NOT a gov’t regulation.
Soon to settle at the bottom of the Walmart bargain DVD bin. If it even makes it that far.
The thing is, the people that this is made for and marketed too don’t go to movies.
They are too cheap and their attention spans will not allow for them to watch a film.
Those people are forever damaged by tik tok and youtube videos.
“Spinal Tap” and “When Harry Met Sally” ...
He did this junk? I recently watched Spinal Tap and since I did not fall for the Rock Music all the “jokes” went over my head.
As for the other? Never saw it. I remember a VCR era porn movie by almost the same name which I also have never seen.
Spectacular!
I’m betting it’s Gyorgy Schwartz.
Just another useless Tinseltown has been know nothing.
“ Christian a nationalism “ being a Christian and at the same time believing we are a constitutional republic.
Who does he think he is? Michael Moore? /snicker
I saw Meathead talking about Christians as those wackos’ who use Christian beliefs to pervert the government. I thought what about the climate change disciples? Did not know he had a movie, what a PR whore to be hyping his money for money! If he was a true believer then release the film for free! After all it’s to save the country Meathead!
My ultra liberal friend called me to say that Christian White Nationalists were going to the border to protect it.
I told her that she and I are Christians, White, and Nationalists who are fed up with the open border. So I don’t see a problem with being one. Haven’t heard from her about the movie but we’ll talk this afternoon.
.
It has a 91% Tomatometer and no audience score.
Those suffering from TDS will like it, I guess.
Don’t see it, its neurotic beta pussy worshipping simping garbage.

The last Reiner movie I enjoyed was “The Princess Bride”. Reiner played two parts - the stinking swamp and the rodents of unusual size (ROUS’s).
