Sometimes I end up seeing movies I don't want to see because other people I go with want to see them. Sometimes it is difficult to talk them out of a particular movie.

In other cases, we do not do our research, and become victims of what I call "audience ambush", where we are exposed to bad quality movies and/or in-your-face offensive themes, including leftist political propaganda and homo-centric characters and themes.

Election (1999) was a movie we both wanted to walk out on after only fifteen minutes. We looked at each other, and asked if it was going to get better. We made the unfortunate mistake of giving it some more time, and then even more time, and then we saw more than half the movie. After than, I felt it was a bit late to ask for a refund. However, that movie was so bad we should have asked for a refund.

The plot was incredibly bad, with no real beginning, middle, or end. It just plodded along. The acting was excellent, but could not rescue the plot.

The movie Election also committed "audience ambush" by including an unnecessary lesbian high school student, and a high school teacher having an affair with a student. The movie critics gave this movie very positive reviews, but, if I remember correctly, neglected to mention the gratuitous lesbian high school student and teacher having sexual relations with a student. Thus, an audience ambush resulted.

The movie included Reese Witherspoon as Tracy Flick, who is cute, but she is a flaming leftist and anti-gunner. She has been an outspoken advocate for firearm confiscation and is actively involved in the (Less Than) Million Mom March for firearm confiscation (which should have been dubbed DUMB, for Dangerous Uninformed Mommies Brigade).

Another bad movie resulting in "audience ambush" was The Crying Game (1992), where a heterosexual IRA terrorist falls in love with a woman that turns out to be a man with full accessories, that looks like an attractive woman (i.e., a cross-dresser or a partial transvestite). The terrorist is at first repulsed, and then overcomes the repulsion, falls in love with, and goes to prison for a crime committed by this other man.

Despite a bad plot and bad quality movie with highly offensive material, the movie critics gave The Crying Game very positive reviews, and covered up the homo-centric characters and themes, in order to ambush trusting and unsuspecting movie customers.

Many movies have political propaganda themes or are entire propaganda movies (e.g., the Michael Moore movies and others).

The movie industry is alienating more than half their audience and potential customers.

Because I am familiar with the leftist political agenda, the political propaganda in movies stands out, is distracting, and detracts from the quality of the movie.

Also, I will never watch another movie with Julia Roberts in it because of her bigoted statement, "Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant." I would keep remembering her statement while watching her on the screen.

Besides, I find her scrawny and unattractive, even when they try to doll her up. Michael Medved said that in Pretty Woman, they had to use a large number of body doubles for different parts of her body (I seem to remember twelve or more - don't ask me why so many).

I agree with so much of what you said--now get out there and get a movie critic's job!

I really enjoyed the other two movies by the director of Election (I wasn't offended, just bored--ditto The Snoring Game). About Schmidt and Sideways were very entertaining, though of course the latter had a ridiculous, blatant Bush-bash in it. But I just chuckle at how stupid these people are and move on. So to speak.

As for the liberalism of movie makers, my personal belief is that it's truly funny to hear all these liberal sentiments, these lessons on how to live with our fellow man, coming from people who live in gated communities with personal security details.
