Mood vs. Movement

According to the New York Times: Paramount’s “Alfie,” a remake of a romantic comedy about a roguish womanizer starring Jude Law, opened to a dismal $6.5 million in more than 2,000 theaters, far below expectations.

Wayne Llewellyn, the president of distribution at Paramount, said that the conservative ethos reflected in last week’s election results might have hurt the film.

“"It could be the mood of the country right now,”" he said. "It seems to be the result of the election. Maybe they didn’t want to see a guy that slept around.”"

Do you think people not wanting to spend $7.00 to watch care-free sex hopping at the theater is a mood of the country? Way to blame a poor film on the president. How about blaming Paramount for not knowing the MOVEMENT of the country.

I believe we are in a slow uphill climb on morality mountain--in the majority of the United States. Conservative family values is not a political issue. Being family friendly is a lifestyle issue. To some, its a spiritual issue.

Take God completely out of the picture...what decent mom wants to raise a kid who would enjoy watching a guy take complete advantage of women and live a careless life that revolves around sexual encounters with as many women as possible.

Decency in the theater--although rare--is appreciated among families.
I doubt if Hollywood will ever hear this.
Those who have ears, let them hear...

let the truth B told,
