So if i understand correctly, these higher grossing conservative leaning films are giving audiences what they like in terms of actors, directors, and other qualities as opposed to the less succesful more left leaning films.

Sir, you make a point that is true. I actually pointed out the high success of the film yesterday. In addition what i was comparing were the films that dealt with the military in present day War on Terror situations. That said, it was kind of you to take the time to read my post (even though your views may differ from mine). I am flattered that you would even take the time to respond to what i posted. If I may take moment to point out, if one were to discuss grosses in general, then one cannot ignore that in terms of adjusted for inflation; the grosses for the pro-freedom/ religion (Christianity and Judaism specifically) films Ben Hur (767 million) and The Ten Commandmnents (1.03 billion) beat out Avatar (761 million).

I get that Avatar was hugely successful. However is that the rule or the exception? Let's take a look at the box office contest between
1. Big Budget Anti-American/Military "The Green Zone" vs. Big Budget Pro-American /Military "Black Hawk Down"
Winner = Black Hawk Down
2. Spike Lee WWII Downer "Miracle at St. Anna's" vs Patriotic WWII Red Tails
Winner = Red Tails
3. Big Budget Downbeat "Flags of Our Fathers" (Iwo Jima) vs Big Budget Patriotic "Pearl Harbor"
Winner= Pearl Harbor
4. Anti-Western War on Terror Allegory "Kingdom of Heaven" vs Pro-Western War on Terror Allegory "300"
Winner = 300
5. Successful Anti-AMerican/Bush/Intelligence Operative "The Bourne Ultimatum" vs Successful Pro-American/Intelligence Operative but Anti-Terrorist (and critical of President who at this time is Obama) "Mission Impossible IV" Winner= Mission Impossible IV
GET THE POINT??????

Let me see if i have this correct:
1. Green Zone: 100 million budget/35million entire domestic gross
2. Redacted: 5 million budget/65,000 entire domestic gross
3. Body of Lies: 70 million budget/39 million entire domestic gross
4. Stop-Loss: 25 million budget/10 million entire domestic gross
5. In the Valley of Elah???budget/ 6 million entire domestic gross

6. Act of Valor: 12 MILLION BUDGET/ 31 MILLION DOMESTIC GROSS IN 7 DAYS!!!!!!

YES I WAS CORRECT! I JUST LIKE WRITING IT

Mr. Bretibart: Your example inspired me to be less afraid to share my own views. Your websites provided a shelter for me to speak freely and be heard. You gave hope that there was somebody to help others stand up and expose the corruption that existed in the media and government. May your work and influence live/continue on. I know that you are among the angels looking down on us and providing a guiding light for those who still feel lost.

I have noticed that slowly (rather slowly), but surely, there is starting to be a shift in film making (even though the elitist power in hollywood is doing everything it can to stop it). Ms. Govindini Murty of "Libertas" has noted the shift (slowly as it is) in Hollywood that is taking place. Here are some recent examples:
1. Indiana Jones IV: The hero must battle evil Stalin era Soviet Communists who attempt to aim to take over the world.
2. SALT: this movie seems to suggest that Joe McCarthy was right. America has been massively infiltrated by Soviet era Communist sleepers with the intent of taking down the United States
3. Mission Impossible IV: Heroic covert American operatives save the world from a fanatical foreign terrorist (though not jihadist) DESPITE the highly irresponsible actions of the President (who happens to be Obama)
4. The Transformer series: a clear allegory for the War on Terror that has the heroic AMerican military (along with the Autobots)saving the world from destruction and enslavement. In addition, the Bush Administration is portrayed positively while the Obama Administration is not.
5. Battle Los Angeles: US Marines save Los Angeles Iraq War style form an alien invasion
6. The Expendables: American based mercenary team take down Somali pirates, A Hugo Chavez/Fidel Castro clone, and an American sympathizer who claims he has "the vision" to support the Latin Dictator.
In Addition: Peter Berg finally got Universal Pictures to go forward on his adaptation of Marcus Lutrell's "Lone Survivor and CBS films is working to adapt Vince Flynn's American Assassin". Therefore change is starting to happen. Not at the pace that we all would wish (NOT EVEN CLOSE), but it is slowly coming.

Continuation of Previous Post:
4. The show's lead (a New Yorker) starts off as shallow elitist who learns to get in touch with her humanity by living among the Southerners who she first looks down on and stereotypes. Eventually she learns some life lessons FROM THEM. = Aren't Southerners supposed to learn by following the examples of the New York elitists?
5. The show even goes as far as to treat Christianity positively with dignity/respect. At one point, the cynical/secular New Yorker nearly ends up doing harm to the community due to asumptions she makes about the town minister based on her cynical/secular attitude. In the end it is the people of faith who (both kindly and forgivingly) school her. = Aren't Christians supposed to be the masters of intolerance will be defeated or saved by the great secular elites?

One show that has impressed me is the CW's "Hart of Dixie". This show is set in the south, with a northerner as the lead and consistently runs counter to the leftist narrative by dealing with elitist beliefs of Southerners and turning it around to reveal depth and real dimensions. For example:
1. The beloved mayor of the town is an inteligent and likable African American sports star who feels a strong conection to both the town and its people.= What? No Racism?
2. The uptight/antagonistic Southern Belle character is also shown to be the loving glue that holds her family together through multiple hardships = Aren't Southern Belles pure evil who care for nothing but themselves?
3. One of the male leads is a good-hearted well respected lawyer who became disenchanted with living in New York and chose to return to his southern roots and reconnect with his community. = Aren't people supposed to run from the South to places like New York or California for a better life?

In slight defense of 24: I can see how one or two seasons of 24 strayed from its conservative roots (seasons 5 and 7) but overall it would rebound back.

1. Season 6 has Jihadists torturing Americans and nuking American cities, Russian Terrorists longing for the days of the communist Soviet Union lending a hand, and Communist Chinese trying to take advantage of the aftermath (a couple of americans assist,but are not giving the orders) and numerous Democrats who are either a) well meaning but incompetent or b) self-righteous, manipulative, and back-stabbing.

2. Season 8: Jihadists are attacking because America IS ACTUALLY achieving peace in the Middle East and the Jihadists are enraged by it (televised killings, attempting to blow up hospitals and set off a dirty bomb in NEw York) . Russian Government portrays itself as moderate and sensible to the public and the media but are secretly cooperating with the Jihadists to undermine/sabotage the United States. Iraq War vets are portrayed as heroic/honorable individuals who do not regret their service and continue to combat terrorism. Finally, politicians appeasing enemy governments and turning their backs on those who defend our country for the sake of politics is presented as abominable (Hint to Obama).
