“It’s up to us, the movie-going public, to support the films that reflect our values.
Are we up to the task?”

Short answer: No.

Just look at how “An American Carol” did at the box office, which was poorly. Sure, it wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was the most conservative, pro-American comedy probably ever made, and had the David Zucker (Airplane!, Naked Gun) humorous stamp on it, and even an impressive cast (Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Leslie Nielson, etc.).

This movie wasn’t like “eating vegetables,” it was funny and entertaining. And they advertised it ad naseum on Fox News. Every conservative in America should have gone to see that movie. But they didn’t. And it is going to be a looong time before anybody steps up to fund another project like it.
