Remember the US was best friends with some Muslim countries including the Saudis for many years and still is, that has to be justified somehow Before 9/11, the majority of American Muslims voted Republican and were courted by Republicans because they were seen as solid social conservatives. George W. Bush overwhelmingly won the Muslim vote in 2000 (estimated 70-80%, versus 10% for Gore), at least to a degree because he actively courted them while Gore was seen as not being interested in them. http://www.meforum.org/13/how-did-muslims-vote-in-2000

So what you're saying is 9/11 was not only an inside job, but a RADICAL LEFTIST DEMOCRAT PLOT.

Not Christian made but it's fairly amusing to see an episode of Columbo where Johnny Cash (A fairly well known Evangelical) plays a Christian country singer who murders his wife after she uses all his money to build a church.

It's a movie alright. It's burying its Christianity as much as possible so far and just being a lame disaster picture, and Nic Cage's performance is impressively understated and almost naturalistic, which is hilarious considering this project seems custom made to get him to do some weird poo poo in front of a camera.

It's not strictly the same as the Christian films we talk about in this thread, but it's still pretty hilarious: Deception of a Generation, an expose on the evil of Satanic children's toys and cartoons from the 1980s. The Satanic Panic is a fascinating thing, and I don't think there's a whiter person than Phil Phillips, who comes on screen for the first time around 3 minutes in.

BigRed0427 posted:Is there anything like this being made today? Probably not today, and it's not the exact same thing, but I'd say the freakout over anything gay or Middle Eastern/Islamic in the early 2000s could be seen as a rough analogue. The Satanic Panic only took hold because there was a big white conservative freakout over the collapse of inner cities and because it was clear the culture war had been lost. The guys in these videos were almost certainly kids or teenagers during the 1960s and '70s and were the squarest of squares, but with the benefit of hindsight we know that the USSR was about to collapse, that the 1990s would be the most prosperous decade in American cities, especially for white people, that violent crime would continue falling, and that The Simpsons is a good and funny show that wouldn't lead to society's imminent collapse. The aftermath of 9/11 is the only time I can think of since then that everyone in the media lost their poo poo, but even then the prevalence of the internet meant that it was easier to get perspectives on culture and events from Europe and such, where the conservative freakout wasn't the same. The tight grip on media and information prior to the 1990s makes a big difference. I guess there are people like Christine O'Donnell who still blame thing on witches, and I'm sure there's media supporting that, but the fact that she's such an aberration at this point is pretty telling.

To this day I still can't understand how people were convinced that The Simpsons of all things, especially the seasons in the 90's, were a doom to mankind. I remember waiting in line for the South Park movie in 1999, and someone in line saying that South Park was that cartoon that's raunchier than The Simpsons, with an inflection that indicated that the Simpsons was really raunchy. Granted that was season 11, the season I consider to be the last season of the Simpsons, none were ever made after that, you can't convince me otherwise.

The opening chapters of this essay/e-book goes into a lot of detail about the context and explains it really well. It was a confluence of general cultural conservativeness, The Simpsons satirizing the exact kind of family values show that predominated at the time, and the fact that it looked a lot like a show for kids. And yes, the last Simpsons episode ever is "Behind the Laughter", everyone knows this.

My dad didn't want me watching The Simpsons because Bart talks back to Homer, and talking back to your dad is one of the worst things you can do. He's not really religious, it's just his weird little issue. The Simpsons isn't really a rejection of family values, it just happens to mock dogmatic views of family values.

You've got go with the Christian alternative no matter how lovely or inept it may be. That reminds me of once mentioning to an acquaintance in high school that I was going to see the new Harry Potter movie; she said she wasn't allowed to see them and when I blinked and asked why just said "Because Harry Potter's evil." A few weeks later I got a package in the mail from her-- it was a massive Christian teen magazine and an invitation to her youth group. I also had another friend who got some new CD for her 18th birthday (I think the soundtrack to a movie), but her parents apologized immediately that she wasn't going to be able to listen to it yet because they'd just noticed that it wasn't the 'edited' version and had to exchange it. I'm not sure if that was religion-based or not, but it still seemed to stem from the same "We have to protect you from the evil world" mindset.

My roommate and I are watching the Kirk Cameron Left Behind. It's not very good. The characters keep referring to "the Arabs" and "the Jews" as monolithic groups. The pastor knocked over a four-foot cross with a single baseball. It's clearly particle board. Robotnik Nudes posted:And yet it's still worlds more entertaining than the new one For sure. I was complaining to my roommate about how 3/4s of the film takes place on an airplane, and those scenes aren't engaging enough to be worth it. At least with Cameron's, there's momentum. gnomewife fucked around with this message at 01:21 on May 20, 2015 |
