Brokeback...Whatever

Hollywood never fails us.

Just when things appear to be shifting back to some sense of moral normalcy, Hollywood is there to remind us of just how crazy our world is.

Providing a platform designed to promote liberal viewpoints and lifestyles, the Golden Globe Awards were held this week, giving us an unwanted, unwarranted look into the world of supposed pop culture. Winning “Best Motion Picture” was the movie Brokeback Mountian, in which two western cowboys find love in each others arms and eyes and live a gay cowboy lifestyle. It's a movie based on sin and raunchy sexual interactions. It serves no purpose and isn't worth being told. Yet, Hollywood has used it to push their sickness down our throats.

Let me vomit…thanks.

Does Hollywood really think the majority of Americans care? Do they really think we cannot see through their poorly hidden agenda of homosexual promotion?

Let’s look at the most simple of all facts……the grand total of dollars to date the movie has earned….$32,074,517 cha-ching! (http://www.boxofficemojo.com) Man, this one is raking it in! Guess I am missing something. Divide the total earned to date by an average of $8 per ticket and a whopping 4,000,000 have seen this movie. Compare to King Kong, which has to date done $204,527,090 in which 25,000,000 have seen! My guess is the 4,000,000 that have gone to see Brokeback are likely every gay person living in the U.S. today.

But my frustration here is not even the gayness of the movie. It’s the audacity Hollywood has of forcing their agendas down our throats,. They want the rest of us to approve and accept them so bad, they’re willing to take an award show and us it to promote their many raunchy ways of living.

But Brokeback wasn't the only liberal winner of the night. Ironically, Geena David won "Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama" for her role as the President of the United States in Commander in Chief. Can they be more obvious? How much is Hillary paying for this weekly show? Can you imagine a show depicting a praying, Godly President? Can you imagine the outrage? All you have do is look how the Hollywood crowd treats our current President.

To top off the tri-fecta of awards, Mary-Louise Parker won "Best Performance by an Actress In a Television Series – Musical or Drama or Comedy " for her role in the TV show Weeds. This creative show is about an urban mother who sells...yes, pot. Now that my friends is television genius.....not. A show about a mother dealing drugs. Nice.

Award shows used to be about rewarding those who the majority felt deserved the awards. Awards were given based on skill and overall popularity of the show, movie or actor(s). These days, these worthless awards events have become the feeding ground of liberal promotion and pandering. It's a joke.

Only one award in life matters anyway. It's laden with jewels and in the shape of a majestic grown. The great thing about this particular award, is that each of us can earn one, by simply accepting the truth of Christ in our lives. Then we can add to it by how we live our lives here. It doesn't get easier than that.

I don't know about you, but I'm thankful the only platform I need to win my undeserved award, is the platform of the Cross. For that, I'd like to thank, not all the small people who helped make it happen, by the One man who gave it all that I might wear a crown.

Now that's a story worth telling.

“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12

The Chronicles of Narnia total gross as of 1-20-06: $265,086,453.

At ~$8 per ticket: 33,135,806 people have seen it.

vs. the ~4 million who've seen BBM

Over 8 times as many people have seen Narnia.

ASTOUNDING

A movie (story) that serves as an allegory for the Gospel of Christ is 8 times more popular with the American people than a story about two sheep herders who are obcessed with eachother and their butt lust.

And BareBack Mountain get's best picture from the foreign press at the Golden Globes.

It's interresting don't you think...

According to Box Office Mojo All time domestic gross:

2. STAR WARS - Classic Good/Evil Battle
10. The Passion of the Christ - Uh... THE GOSPEL --- SALVATION --- ETERNITY
29. The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe - Alegory of Christ and the Gospel.

Sprinkeled in there are the rest of the Star Wars movies too. But where do we find the obomination of Broke Back Mountain ? Not in the top 337 that's for sure.

So... apparently that movie is a huge financial flop... why? Because NO ONE wants to see cowboy man-lust.

Apparently the country's taste is still in the range of classic Good vs. Evil stories... ie: The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, STAR WARS, Narnia and the lot.

That's what we want Hollywood. Feed us!
