Hollywood FAIL

Su-prise!

Left-wing ideology ... well, it just ain't sellin'! Hey, I'm no Hollywood expert, but I could have told them that ...

socialistThe new Ricky Gervais movie, The Invention of Lying, is a BIG FLOP! Hmmm ... I wonder why?

Ricky Gervais Takes on Christianity

The movie is a full-on attack on religion in general and Christianity in particular. It might be the most blatantly, one-sidedly atheist movie ever released by a major studio, in this case Warner Bros.

Gervais delights in what a faith-based society would call blasphemy, setting up an imaginary world in which no one ever lies. Except his character, who spreads what Gervais obviously sees as the biggest lie of all: Belief in God.

Oh, that's why.

Michael Moore's new film, Capitalism: A Love Story, TANKED at the box office too!

So, trashing capitalism (and getting it wrong while he does) doesn't sell either? Is it just me, or is Hollywood truly disconnected from the rest of the world? Here, let me help.

Dear Hollywood,

People go to the movies to escape and be entertained, not to get preached at about your failed socialism, beloved murderous dictators, and eco-nonsense. Maybe the politicians don't talk about it, and the mainstream media abhors it, but people in America still believe in FREEDOM!

Besides, we all see your pathetic antics and empty lives (that you put on full display) everyday in the papers, on TV, and the webby-tubes. We're not impressed. And we can't figure out for the life of us, why you think anyone takes you seriously.

Best of Luck,

Mike

Socialism and Christian-Bashing Crash at Box Office

As if all this isn’t enough for our friends on the left to take in, you have $800 billion spent to get us to 9.8% unemployment, the *poof* of the public option, and a nine-month World Apology Tour resulting in Rio getting the Olympics.

And what can we expect as a result of these “teachable moments?”

What’s that phrase again…? Oh, yeah: More Of The Same.

‘Invention of Lying’: Anti-Christian

Telling your audience that their most profound beliefs are stupid and wrong seems a fine plan for eliciting positive reviews from elitist movie critics but a very bad way to lure people into movie theaters.

Michael Moore "Capitalism A Love Story" - Fail

The same economic system that pseudo-intellectuals,useful-idiot, communist entertainers and communists and the far-left in the Democrat party hate so much has spoken and walked away. All those evil middle-class cash-clingers have voted with their dollars.

Michael Moore's Latest Pro-Commie Flick Tanks At Box Office

After all of the state-run media publicity, Michael Moore's latest capitalism-bash tanked at the box office this weekend.

I'm sure this is all George Bush's fault. I mean ... Why else wouldn't communism, socialism, and anti-Christianity sell in America?

I guess, the communist - socialist - fascist revolution they desire, just ain't gonna happen.

Moore at Memeorandum.

What say you?

    Fortunately, neither of these films are bad enough that they will recur as cult classics ala "Bride of the Monster."

      Yep. They'll fade into neverland.
