Movieguide.org (http://movieguide.org/news/3/228), which screens movies for untoward content, blasted the bigotry paraded on stage at the Oscars Sunday night. That's what Obama should talk about in his speech tonight.
Some brief choice quotes from the article.
The audience also clapped when the winning screenwriter for MILK, Dustin Lance Black, proclaimed his bigotry when he commented, "If Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he would want me to say to all the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by the churches, by the government, by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value, and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights, federally, across this great nation of ours. Thank you, God, for Harvey Milk!"
I found a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mv35SN3ctU) of Mr. Black's speech.
The movie industry also gave an Oscar to Kate Winslet for playing an illiterate escaped Nazi war criminal and pedophile that repeatedly seduces a 15-year-old boy.
Earlier in the evening, actress Marisa Tomei, who plays a stripper in THE WRESTLER, was applauded for showing that "a stripper doesn't have to lose her dignity when taking off her clothes."
The attack on biblical values continued as Meryl Streep was praised for portraying a strict Catholic nun who struggles with herself and the fact that modern times are passing her by.
Later in the telecast, atheist Bill Maher was given a platform to rail against religion when he said, "Someday we'll have to confront the notion that our silly gods cost the world too greatly."
As you can see, all of those are nasty, direct attacks on Christianity.
The article says that anti-Christian movies don't do as well at the box office as pro-Christian movies, yet the anti-Christian movies win all the awards. Movieguide gives movies "Ho," "HoHo" and "HoHoHo" ratings based on the amount of homosexual content. The HoHoHo movies did really bad at the box office. But Prince Caspian (the movie where a talking lion is a stand in for Jesus), for instance, did a lot better than any of the Ho movies.
There's no money in Ho movies. You have to wonder why Hollywood continues to produce them. The same goes for movies about Nazi pedophiles, strippers and discontent nuns.
