I'll put on my Hollywood hat just for a minute so I can lead a chorus of righteous laughter at the colossal failure of the persecuted Hollywood conservatives behind An American Carol.

I'm sure Roark, Scott, Retail, etc. willingly put down their bucks to support this movie. C'mon guys, if you don't support it who will. And, you will just be left with more Kirk Cameron movies. :lol:

American Carol $3,810,000 (gross) 1,639 (screens) $2,325 (average)

Religulous $3,500,000 (gross) 502 (screens) $6,972 (average)

What does this tell us?

Both films were in their first week of release, which means that it's apples to apples. Both had the benefit of their opening week marketing pushes.

Note that Religulous, however, was on less than one third of the screens that American Carol was. Which means that An American Carol should by all rights have done three times the boxoffice of Religulous. But it didn't -- gross box office receipts were largely the same.

Now, if Religulous was on 3x more screens than AAC, you would see the conservatives screaming about how hollywood and the left is conspiring against them. :oops:

The per-screen average of Religulous was three times that of An American Carol. Three times as many people showed up in each theater to see it.

There's no way that the wingnuts can argue that their humor free comedy didn't get a good push.

Bottom line: Hollywood is in the business of making money. There's no conspiracy going on against conservatives. When moviegoers have to vote with their dollars, it's just that nobody wants to see their shit.

Also....i'll bet anyone here that O’Reilly & Co. will go with the barely larger gross, while ignoring the per-screen analysis. Proving, again, that he’s an idiot.

If conservatism loses in the ratings this time, it will sure as hell be the first time--Rush, Hannity/Fox, etc. versus Air America, Olberman/MSNBC, etc.--good beats evil; Pro-America beats anti-America, Quality/Decency beats Crap every time.

Somehow, when the final tally is in, I doubt it will be any different with American Carol.

Ummm....that liberals who get handout checks are dumb enough to drop $9.50 for a movie ticket and another $8 for popcorn and soda, but those of us who actually work hard for our money have stopped going to the theatres??

Do I win?
edit: Oooo...also that those of us who work are tightening our belt, but the gov't handout checks haven't slowed down so they can keep going to the movies...I know that HAS to be the right answer.

Actually, this isn't apples to apples at all. Questioning organized religion is quite common and a cherished right in this country. The reviews of Mahers movie are pretty good with the theme being that he questions various religions. Who among us hasn't done that, especially if we were raised to go to a certain church or temple. I think his movie has universal appeal.

nice try though.

I think we need to dig deeper.

I think there is something fundamentally wrong with the Writer/Director. Maybe something wrong with the water where he grew up; I heard they dropped the kids in his neighborhood on their heads. Most of the people who came out of his part of town ended up with acute brain damage as adults.

What is wrong with you? Why does everything always come back to race and/or ethnicity or religion with you? Can we all get along?

I have noticed that people who grew up on the North/East side of Milwaukee struggle as adults. You have proclaimed that this movie, at its core, is flawed. Perhaps this explains it.

You need to get a sense of humor. Course, that is always a problem for conservatives.

You have noticed...you have some sort of data on that? Struggled like einhorn? Struggled like Jon Nelson (organic)? Struggled like Jon Steur (online pub pioneer)? Struggled like Ellen Friedman (yahoo Billionare).

Movie: We have heard repeatedly that Hollywood is hostile to conservs, wont' make their type of movies, etc. One comes along and you guys dont' support it. Then, when another isn't made..you will go back to your familiar chant that it doens't like conservs.

Of course Hollywood is hostile to Conservatives. So are New York and virtually all the college campuses. We get it.

The reason this thread is not getting the rise out of us that you were hoping for is that we really don’t care. This movie may be good, it may be bad…..what we want is a good, honest movie. I would highly recommend Lives of Others as a must see “Conservative Movie.”

Hollywood movies are one of the sacraments in the religion of the Left. Good for you.

Rise: I'm not trying to get a rise. I watched endless promo for it on Fox. I wouldn't have even known about it without Fox pitching it weekly. So, you don't care..yet, the channel of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda pushed it repeatedly. Seems a bit contradictory from your position.

Campuses: LOL. Tell me how poorly the college republicans are treated. Tell me how poorly campus crusade for christ is treated. More bs from your side. I know, they are beaten senselessly daily. :roll:

Movie: The free market spoke. You lost. Hollywood doesn't care about politics when it comes to movies..it cares about making money. Support conserv films and they will make more.

Lives: Free market spoke on that one as well..you conservs didn't support it all. 11 million.

1. Fox. You don't watch. Amazing as you seem to parrot them quite often.

2. Nonsense? Where? In the business school? In engineering? I attended, like you, UW and never even had one political discussion in any of my liberal arts classes.

3. Hollywood. Of course you would. Much easier to do that then actually address the truth. Hollywood cares about making money. Should we deem all blockbusters liberal movies..star wars, indiana jones, etc?

Hollywood is a business. Business are in business to make money, and their employees jobs depend on it. They merely produce movies that they think the public will watch. And, what must be really galling to you and conservs is that they continue to do it well. Profits continue to rise.

4. Lives. Nope you missed the point. If you want more "conserv" movies like that, then you must support them.

My opinion. It was good. And, to further erode your point...if it is a conserv movie..explain why hollywood was going to make a u.s. version. Surely they wouldn't want to go against their own ideals and politics.

Furthermore, the liberal MSM loved it. Ooops. How did that happen?

As I said before...I really don't care. I know they are all biased. People just get annoyed with all my pausing of the movie as I explain what is really going on in the movie. It's tedious.

No, my point is that there should not be "conservative" or "liberal" movies at all. They should just try to be an honest story.....I thought (via interviews of people in East Germany) that the movie did that. As far as the MSM, that's why I loved the movie so much. It is undeniable. The artsy, avant garde in East Germany doing anything (even dying) to get to the West.....all the while, the artsy, avant garde in the West telling us how wonderful Socialism is.

1. Right.

2. I'm pretty sure i would realize a political conversation. That is just stupid on your part. Try being intellectually honest. I had many conversations outside of class with students, but we never had one in class or any assignment that could even be deemed political.

The right's incessant crying about it doesn't make it true.

3. Sure. And, we could do the same for many movies that you would consider fine, for example, most of the movies that deal with history. Course, when liberals say anything it is revisionist and hating america. Yep, there were no black soldiers in WW2...i know it is true since 99.9% of them show no minorities. Hello Mr. Eastwood.

You want honest stories? Who gets to determine what is honest? You? Tex?

4. Nice conflating. The lives of others was about totalitarianism. Socialism isn't that. Or, are the people of Sweden suffering right now. Should i criticize democracy based on it's implementation outside of the our country.

I know what the movie was about. I was talking about what all the artsy Westerns wanted. And anyway Socialism leads to Totalitarianism.

The problem with our humor, ty, is that we are sick of the left making race/religion/sex ect and issue in every arguement and even make funny hahas. Then when a person from the right so much as mentions the color of a guys skin...example..."you know, the black guy who works on the third floor"...morons try to make us out as bigots and rascists.

When you think you are being funny branding someone with this kind of an answer we take it seriously. We see the 6 degrees to rascism ruin decent people. We see guys who have not a mean thought in their bones say something that can be twisted and construed and illogically leap to race get destroyed. So yea, when you make an off hand remark about "would have been easier just to write he is an east side jew" it belittles anything you ever post on this forum to us. We see you for what you really are and that is someone with so little concern for us that you would try to tag us with that kind of crap even though you know in your heart we are good people....better than you cuz we would never pull BS like that.

It is rather odd. Just like the other thread about effigies. Here we sit; a bunch of middle to upper middle class white people on our expensive computers debating whether fishing line or rope was or was not situated around a cut out’s neck.

The Left wastes plenty of oxygen on these debates. Yet, before I can post this post, another young black will have been murdered by a young black man. Another young black man will be sent off to prison. That is a problem for ALL people……black, white, pink, yellow, orange, it doesn’t matter.

But go ahead; let's spend our time on a supposed effigy and what kind of rope as used to hang it. We are becoming a weaker country everyday.

Yes, let's. And it wasn't rope, it was fishing line, somehow tied into a noose, even though we never saw it. Meanwhile, in Cleveland, a 13 year old B+ student had her life snuffed out by being between two 'kids' shooting each other over being disrespected.

Just for referance I called them idiots and rascists. BUT that being said, yes we get defensive because we know 2 things:

1) Most of the time when shit like this happens it is done by the left trying to blame the right.

2) Most of the time when people scream rascism and try to ruin someone it is baseless BS. This is why when something like don imus comes up people defend them.

I think people like imus and stern are disgusting and I never listen to them unless I'm flipping the radio and I land on them. Howard Stern is an avowed leftist. I have listened to his show about 20 minutes total in my life. In those 20 minutes I heard him take a call from a young black man who he ended up screaming at "shut the hell up you stupid porch monkey." I have NEVER forgotten that. Idiots happen. The best thing you can do is dismiss the true idiots and try and talk seriously.

It reached that point with ty in the past, but he has toned it down a tad. But honestly hoosier...if you can't see what is going on I can't really help you. I see the left conjure up crap all the time and it is a worse problem than some idiot kids hanging an obama cutout. You want a real defense I can offer it up if you want, but I don't believe it....something like this.

These kids were pointing out that race based scholarship programs were just as offensive as race based lynchings. A pretty deep thought process that was missed by most. Basing anything on race is wrong be it scholarships, jobs or blind hatred. Now go ahead and tell me how wrong I am.

I think I am going to go out and start my own scholarship program for white kids...that isn't offensive is it?

Well, I get annoyed when people begin pulling percentages out of their butts like you seem to do. I've seen you say this before, but I have to say I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about here. What kind of research have you done--or read--that would lend credibility to this assertion? Or is this another one of those "Rituxin isn't used in the UK" kind of arguments?


2) Most of the time when people scream rascism and try to ruin someone it is baseless BS. This is why when something like don imus comes up people defend them.

These kids were pointing out that race based scholarship programs were just as offensive as race based lynchings. A pretty deep thought process that was missed by most. Basing anything on race is wrong be it scholarships, jobs or blind hatred. Now go ahead and tell me how wrong I am.

I think I am going to go out and start my own scholarship program for white kids...that isn't offensive is it?
:lol: The scholarship program that you're getting all huffy about WAS BEING PROPOSED BY THE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY itself. Let me repeat that: the evangelical university had planned a recruitment strategy to try to boost its minority numbers. Frankly I don't care what an evangelical university decides to do to boost its appeal, and I also couldn't care less what kind of scholarhip program you see fit to fund, but consider here that in defending a group of miserable little racists you're not arguing against the left and its big government social programs but instead against your own people, or at least the evangelicals that you share the far right with. :lol:

EDIT: Ok, maybe you're not defending them. You say you called them "idiots and racists" and I have no reason to doubt you. But then what exactly are you doing? Just attacking posters you associate with the Left?

Well, you fuckers managed to bring in the other thread to this one.

So, i'll just bring it back to the topic.

O'reilly did exactly as i predicted. After a mini rant that religulous was anti christian, which is funny since they skewer all religions, he triumphantly announced that An American Carol beat it at the box office.

Ty, since you seem extremely interested in the two movies, tell me this. How did the two viewer populations break down, politically (if known). My prediction would be that percentage-wise there were more conservatives at Religulous than libs at 'Carol.'
