I wish I had the money to start my own movie studio/TV network, putting out quality, family-friendly, and moral-value movies and TV shows.
Haven’t there been statistics proving that people are hungry for that sort of thing?
Depends on which poll you look at.
I’ve seen some that indicate that people want family-friendly, God-centered entertainment, but don’t actually watch these types of movies and tv shows.
I’ve seen others that say that people want everything but family-friendly, God-centered.
I personally think that Hollywood is getting a mixed message from Christians. They put out a movie or TV show that they think will be great for the “Christian” audience, and then the Christian audiences gets all hissy-fitted about one little offensive thing, perhaps one swear word or a statement that sounds like it might be irreverent.
Evan Almighty is a great example. The U.S. Catholic bishops gave this movie a pretty good review, but Christians were terribly divided about it, and I think the movie kind of died.
I personally think the show
The Unit is full of Christian values, but I don’t know of many Christians who actually watch it other than those who are in the military. Yet, I know lots of Christians who watch the show that’s opposite
The Unit, which is
House, a horrible adult fantasy that portrays doctors as temper-tantrum throwing egomaniacs. Now I must say that
The Unit is about war, and that puts off many Christians. But it’s a war where GOD is included in the lives of those fighting it.
Hey, everyone, Hollywood seldom puts out a perfect product! I say, when they throw us a bone, let’s catch it and wag our tails and beg for more!
