As far as I know Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas is the only Christian movie to say that helping poor people sucks and the real meaning of Christmas is presents. Every other right wing Christmas movie is in fact the bog standard "People are forgetting about Jesus" plot.

This. Making/investing in movies and the crazy tax breaks that accompany them seems a lot like laundering or, more innocently, a tax avoidance scheme.

They hate him but will use him so long as he’s convenient to them. He may or may not understand the true nature of that relationship, but I’m betting he does and just imagines he can arrange passage out of the country when the time comes.

Without ever having seen a conservative propaganda movie I would have thought they would all just be smarmy ‘just so’ stories where the alpha conservatives just pwn cuck libs all the time in absurdly contrived and impossible scenarios and then end with all the good pretty people flying off to heaven with a blond haired blue eyed Jesus.

Zeroisanumber posted:What is the meaningful difference between an explicitly "conservative" movie and a movie like Skyfall? Or Taken? Or even John Wick? A movie being lowercase-c conservative movies it has rightwing political leanings. A movie being capital-c “Conservative” means it’s blunt and explicit propaganda for GOP politics and right-wing culture war.

Every other right wing Christmas movie is in fact the bog standard "People are forgetting about Jesus" plot. It was a pretty masterful bait-and-switch on their part because all of the promotional material I saw for it made it sound exactly like a standard "put the Christ back in Christmas" movie and instead that guy is the antagonist and Kirk spends the whole movie lecturing him and the audience about how great commercialized Christmas is.

Capital C Conservative cinema gave us Assassin 33 AD, a movie in which an evil Muslim billionaire forces a Jewish scientist to invent a time machine so he can sent a commando team (led by an Angry Atheist, who turned Atheist after his wife and daughter were killed in a car crash, because that's how Atheists are made) back in time to kill Jesus.

That was Son of God, an adaptation/edit of the History Channel miniseries The Bible. Obamatan was cut from the movie, but I think my grandma saw the miniseries and was greatly affected by it because she really hated Obama.

The history channel also ran a found-footage dramatization of the end times from Revelation, but a lame-rear end version with Left-Behind totalitarian liberals in suits instead of dragons and trees being burned up. I remember one scene where our intrepid videographer finds a warehouse full of corpses of old people murdered under the antichrist’s monstrous universal healthcare, which practices rationing.

You’re asking about a group of people that denies anything that doesn’t fit their narrative at that moment and has no difficulty taking the opposite view moments later if that is more convenient.

It should also be noted that at least one political cartoonist drew a right wing figure as Don Quixote, fighting windmills representing enemies that the cartoonist thought were very real and dangerous. When people told him on Twitter that the point of Don Quixote was that the windmills were not actually dangerous, he claimed that he only did it to trigger the libs and doubled down on it.

Ben Garrison has demonstrated that particular failure to understand the "tilting at windmills" expression at least three or four times, from what I remember. He's an excellent example of how catering to a right-wing fanbase can turn your brain into swiss cheese.

Don't forget Karate Christmas Miracle, where Eric Roberts does a Joker and shoots up a theatre, and also kidnaps some guy. The guys kid prays for his dad's return , and God says the dad will come back if the kid wins the big karate tournament. Somehow it gets even weirder from there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr5-stYoql0&t

GhostofJohnMuir posted:woah, thinking about how the bible and christianity would change if jesus had died I feel like the Gospels would be a hell of a lot more interesting if Jesus and his disciples had to fight time-traveling Muslim/Atheist assassins. I mean it is still pretty interesting (not "same story told four times" interesting though) but... Also Jesus is like the second or third most important prophet in the Quran and if there was no Jesus that guy wouldn't have turned atheist so isn't that a huge paradox? I have to listen to that episode of GAM though, sounds pretty great. Honestly I owe at least a good third of my entertainment to people making fun of conservative poo poo so I guess in a way I owe a lot to the conservative entertainment insldustry.

(because God healed her infertility , also then later Russell Crowe character is like IM GOING TO KILL YOUR BABY TO END ALL HUMANS and then goes "awwww im a grandpa."
