No, just go see the decent ones. Hollywood knows one thing, the bottom line. When movies like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe make a killing and the crap like this are a bust, they will begin to correlate the two eventually. Support those who make decent films and boycott those who don't, it will get through to them eventually.

I think you are mistaken. Hollywood would rather push their warped agenda and reflect their corrupt values than make wholesome, family oriented movies. Even if they are profitable. Look at the stink they made about, "The Passion of the Christ".
Look at the success of FoxNews. They are the only cable news channel gaining viewers, yet instead of emulating their right of center viewpoint, all three networks and the other cable news channels continue with the liberal bias.

The 'decent ones' are the ones that are financing the agenda-driven ones.
Money the public pays to see Narnia helps offset the losses of Brokeback.

I have long held the view you suggest. However, though perhaps it's my cynicism, but I wonder if Hollywood makes such movies as "Chronicles" - which thus far has grossed over $540 million - just so they can subsidize the other propaganda dreck they cram down us?

I have been to a movie theater about five times in the past ten years. I would consider two of those movies decent.
I realize it may be detox to some people, but not going to the movie theater is not a difficult thing. :]
I really see Hollywood for the bad acting and hype they are full of.
Think of the money one can save... Buying movie tickets supports liberal and socialist endeavors.
It is true. :]

Doesn't work.
They simply use the huge profits from those films that you do see to subsidize the ones that you can't stand.
And thats how it works. - You still pay for them to produce this crap.

I get the feeling these people use the "good and decent" movies to finance there agenda driven social commentaries THEY call films. Its kind of like big colleges that finance all the womens and mens lesser sports programs with their football programs.
