Anti-atheism campaign

An American anti-atheism campaign is in gear and it will grind up atheism into a fine pulp. [1]

I have only given that website a cursory glance, but it is ridiculous. I suspect Droford spends a lot of his time there.

LuigiD 11-12-2011 05:00 PM

The "debatable" section is incredible.

The Dark Knight:
Christian allegory with message of not giving in to terrorists, but the movie also arguably has some liberal themes as pointed on Talk:Essay:Greatest Conservative Movies.

DrA 11-12-2011 05:04 PM

I thought this was a joke list at first. I guess conservative values also include conserving traditional plots and using them over and over again.

DrA 11-12-2011 05:12 PM

I also like how a Rock Hudson movie made the debatable list.

Michael Jordan uses the help of beloved children's characters from the '50s (a simpler time in America's history) to beat back foreign invaders who wish to take away our freedoms.

I never knew PCU had so many conservative messages.

Crossdressers are frequently conservative icons.

J. Edgar Hoover? :shifty:

Seriously shocked that there was no Forrest Gump.

Droford 11-12-2011 06:28 PM

I can't get over the fact that they fucked up the Atlas Shrugged DVD by describing it as “Ayn Rand's timeless novel of courage and self-sacrifice comes to life…”

Was gonna rent it but the one copy wasn't in at blockbuster today. I guess I'll wait for it to be delivered in the mail eventually.

Droford 11-12-2011 06:31 PM

<table id="sortable_table_id_0" class="wikitable sortable"><tbody><tr><td>Ghost Busters </td><td>1984 </td><td>PG </td><td>Fitting satire of an unfair (and likely liberal) professor, paganism, and an EPA regulator. </td></tr></tbody></table>
Also, who knew the Blues Brothers was approved by the Vatican?

<table id="sortable_table_id_0" class="wikitable sortable"><tbody><tr><td>The Sandlot </td><td>1993 </td><td>PG </td><td>Honestly depicts 1950s America when boys acted like boys and girls acted like girls, wimps were taught to toughen up, and every boy had a chance to be great. No historical revisionism. </td></tr></tbody></table>

The Sound of Music 1965 UR Solid family entertainment.

Space Jam is not a "Great" film

Conservative or not, Space Jam sucks! It must be removed.

Juan 11-12-2011 08:21 PM

Shut up

Lock Jaw 11-12-2011 08:24 PM

Space Jam is a totally great film.

Emperor Smeat 11-12-2011 08:34 PM

:lol: Brokeback Mountain as a conservative film.

Skippord 11-12-2011 08:44 PM

As you probably know, the movie (and the novella on which its based) is about two men who fall into a homosexual lifestyle. But what struck me as conservative about this film is that it doesn't glorify the lifestyle; the two mens' choice to indulge in homosexuality is a disastrous choice that ends up ruining both their lives. One man's marriage is destroyed and his relationship with his child is forever tainted. The other man's choice actually leads to his violent death (Incidentally, I'm not saying that killing someone for being gay is a conservative value. But the point is that this movie is actually very up-front about acknowledging the catastrophic consequences of a homosexual lifestyle).

I think the most important part is the faggots were killed by upstanding conservatives who know that murder is okay, long as it's a faggot or a nigger.

Shisen Kopf 11-12-2011 09:36 PM

Not enough John Wayne on that list

El Vaquero de Infierno 11-13-2011 06:41 AM

I like it how homosexuality is referred to as a "lifestyle."

What? That's the conservative line.

mitch_h 11-13-2011 12:50 PM

How is Taken not on that list, def the most conservative film of the past 20 years, I would also throw some Sandler comedies on there, probably Big Daddy and Billy Madison. Chinatown shouldn't be on there, but I guess I can see how it can be considered a little conservative taken out of it's post Watergate context.

Kane Knight 11-13-2011 01:26 PM

I'm surprised Signs isn't on the list. The entire thing is bookended by "Because God."

And since half the list is there for their Christian messages (I mean, you can't possibly be a conservative and not Christian, mirite?), I'm surprised that doesn't make it.

Though, the protagonist is Catholic, isn't he? There's a problem. Catholics are like, Schrodinger's Christians. When you want to make your numbers look bigger, they're Christian. When you want to talk morals, they're baby eating satan worshippers.

James Steele 11-13-2011 01:54 PM

That entire thing has to be a joke:

The Room 2003 R A tragedy showing the corrosive effects of liberal values like alcoholism and adultery, while reflecting the conservative traits of charity, innovation (in banking) and support for small business.

Although it's English, Harry Brown is the most right-wing film I've seen lately. It's also complete and utter shit. It could have actually been written by the Daily Mail.

American History X is grossly overrated and I think that's largely down to people missing the heavy-handed anti-racism message and enjoying seeing a black man get put in his place by a Neo-Nazi.

Yes...to anyone who only watches the first 15 minutes of the film. Considering how the entire plot is the former Neo-Nazi trying to save his brother from going down the same path that destroyed his own life, I'd think its hard to miss the overall meaning of the story.

El Capitano Gatisto 11-13-2011 04:42 PM

Yet all anyone ever goes on about is the curb stomp. It's popularity is pretty much rooted in the Neo-Nazi imagery.

...so people only like Gone with the Wind because it shows male superiority over women? "Frankly madam, I could give a damn!" is all anyone talks about. It's popularity is pretty much rooted in the pre-feminist revolution imagery. Seriously, it is a shocking/powerful scene and so people will mention that more than say...the shower rape or the brother getting killed by the urinals.

El Capitano Gatisto 11-14-2011 05:56 PM

I never said anything about Gone With The Wind, I've never seen it, though I would question your particular interpretation of the "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" line.

There is a difference between an iconic line and enjoying seeing a black guy get put in his place. And many people who profess their love for American History A are pretty vocal about how much they do enjoy the curb stomp scene. It's an overrated, ludicrous, clumsy, yet ineffectual, and rather boring film that, as I said, has much of its popularity rooted in its specific white supremacist imagery.

Please don't interpret that or misquote me as saying that the film is racist. It's not: it's just a bit crap and badly done. It glorifies white supremacism and violence initially then makes a bit of a mess of trying to condemn it.

LuigiD 11-16-2011 09:14 AM

I think El Capitano is right.
While I enjoy American History X, every conversation I have about it with people always starts off with the stomp scene. Some guy even went as far as saying that it is not a story of redemption, but rather a story about sticking to your values :roll:

Swiss Ultimate 11-17-2011 05:08 PM

I want to edit the anti-racist message out of American History X.

Before I even knew details about the movie, I'd heard about the curb stomping scene like ten times.

It is almost like they made the opening scene so shocking and provocative so people would remember it and the movie and go on to tell countless other people about it and to go to see the movie...nah, just a scheme to spread racism and hatred for the colored man.

El Capitano Gatisto 11-20-2011 03:16 PM

Didn't my last post say I wasn't stating the film was being deliberate about it? I've just read it there and it seems pretty clear that I said that.
