The Policital Backlash Has Begun

You know, I thought the lack of rabid, irrational ranting from the right-wingers this year considering the amount of supposedly liberal slanted movies was pretty strange. I thought perhaps they had learned their lesson from Farenheit 9/11 and decided to be quiet and not give the films they loathe any more press than they're already getting. But now that the Globes are over, and I think after the Oscars it will get even worse, the freaks are coming out (at night? sorry. couldn't resist).

Here is an article

So we get some bashing on Brokeback Mountain, Capote, Transamerica, and Syriana. Now all we need is some bashing on The Constant Gardener and Good Night, and Good Luck and they'll have covered everything. I even wonder if they'll be daring enough to find a reason to go after Crash. You never know.

One particular quote, from the article:

“Once again, the media elites are proving that their pet projects are more important than profit,” Janice Crouse, of Concerned Women for America, said. “None of the three movies — Capote, Transamerica or Brokeback Mountain — is a box office hit. Brokeback Mountain has barely topped $25 million (£14.2 million) in ticket sales. If America isn’t watching these films, why are they winning the awards?”

Does this woman understand the concept of small-release films? All these movies are released on 600 screens or much less, while her (I'm guessing) beloved Chronicles of Narnia is released on over 3,500. I'm not even going to mention how hypocritical (based on a 'values' judgement) it is to push that movie considering how violent it is. But it has Christian overtones, so it's still okay to bring a six year old to see it!
