Does that include Frank Booth ?
I stopped going to movies when it finally sunk in that every character who remotely shared my values was consistently portrayed as the Bad Guy.
I agree. Of course TV, 5th Ave and all media is exactly the same way. We have been immersed in this crap for so long many people don’t know the difference. When you watch this brainwashing all week, every week for years it can’t help but have an effect.
That's why -- with the increasingly rare exceptions I specifically want to support with my $$$ (the last one, IIRC, being the second "Narnia" film, Prince Caspian) -- I view/obtain the vast majority of my movies, nowadays, via P2P (person-to-person) torrents online.
If Hollywood steadfastly cannot (or, rather, WILL not) refrain from relentless and monotonous conservative-bashing in their product, no matter how wildly inappropriate to the subject at hand... well, then: have at it, lads, do. Enjoy yourselves, by all means.
Just not on MY dime, is all.
Ever, ever again. ;)

1. Christians are evil.
2. Women are to be valued only for their cleavage.
3. Traditional gender roles are artificial but feminism and homosexuality are government-protected lifestyles.
4. Self-esteem is paramount; government must undertake to guarantee each citizen-victim self-esteem no matter the cost.
5. The ACLU is good, because destroying religion and silencing believers are protected by the Constitution and the First Amendment; The NRA is bad because it defends the Constitution.
6. Standardized IQ tests are racist; racial quotas and affirmative action are not.
7. Conservatives are racists; everybody knows that Black people can't make it on their own without big-buck government assistance programs and Hollyweirdos to proselytize the message 24/7.
8. Abortion is a natural right. The Founders just forgot to put it in the Constitution.
9. Normal sex is perverted. Threesomes, bestiality, necrophilia, homosexuality are just new ways to get a thrill.
10. Moral indignation is a liberal's standard strategy for endowing our output with superiority.
11. Victimization is our basic belief by which we blame and find others responsible for our own personal failures, then expect taxpayers, deep-pocketed individuals, or the courts to bail us out. It feels good to be in the throes of "victimization" and either A) causing victims, B) concocting victims, C) playing victim, D) commiserating over victims, or E) creating another class of victims to bleed over.
12. It's a liberal's duty to treat Middle America in the manner of raising mushrooms, that is to say, keep them in the dark and feed them lots of horse manure.
13. Capitalism creates oppression; government creates opportunity.
14. The traditional family is archaic, constricting, with no redeeming value. Parents that try to guide their children's choices are restrictive. Kids need to be "free".
