I agree that this movie has made a lot of money, but I wonder about that $14mm figure. Seems to me that they were using that when it first came out (no pun intended), but they have really stepped-up the advertising in recent weeks. Could they possibly have budgeted that?
I agree with you on the fact that Christianity is under attack, but disagree on the fact that open worship will be dead in 50 years. I plan to still be kicking then.
Would you let your daughter contract AIDS because you wanted to make ex-gays feel "welcome"? That is what can happen when an ex-gay falls off the wagon.
It is not surprising that the New York Times which cannot discern fact from fiction chooses to believe Hollywood which cannot discern normal from queer.

As a NYer, I can see how someone in NY or SF (where I believe Savage is from) would think this is true. Obviously, it is not the case anywhere else.
Why anyone would wilingly subject themselves to the NYT is beyond me.
I've always hated it. It doesn't even have funnies.
Nothing but a filthy leftist homosexual propaganda house organ.
Science has finally solved that age-old question: Was Elton John born that way or did he choose.
Guys, the bad news is, if you pass this test you're a homo.
If you fail, you're normal.
(Sorry but no ladies. For some reason it only works for men.)
This is a scientific test, so give it your best shot.

Looks like everyone wants to be a victim these days, not just liberals.
It's not on the level of Narnia's success but one is a PG family film drawn on a well known set of books with a large budget and major studio. The other is an R-rated art-house film about a ridiculed subject.
By various accounts (even by folks pre-disposed to like the subject matter) the film is boring and tedious like some other Ang Lee projects. Some like NBC Today's Show movie critic Gene Shalit have seen the film as involving a sexual predator rather than as a love story. While his review was quite justifiable by the film's content itself, he was attacked by the "gay mafia" and ultimately apologized for his characterization.
This story reminds me of you...

I figure at about 7$ per ticket,that's about 9 million people,or about 3 % of the US population.That sounds about right.Sell it now!!!
I thought that was the name of the author of those gross columns in the free newspapers. He has to be one of the most vile human beings God ever gave the breath of life to. The couple of columns that I've read of his, made me want to vomit.
That's why I never read it.
That is what *could* happen just as it could happen if her husband were to go stray with her HIV+ best friend, visit a hooker or abuse IV drugs. Suppose it's your son who is the ex-gay; how do you approach that situation?
