Nobody would watch a nice little romance story staring us old, dumpy, not so pretty people.
There is no such thing as a gay love story.
Thanks for your prayer. It does say that evil shall increase till the end so dont be surprised if the otherwise of your prayer is the reality...in the meantime keep up the good fight. Blessed are the peacemakers.
But the really successful and driven urban working women aren't watching the movies, and don't want the small town guy.
There's some variation, too. Sometimes it's a big city rich guy and a small town girl.
The new Black Hallmark flicks will probably be the same as the others, just as good or just as bad.
Can we STOP with all this POC rah-rah ing all the time Hanh?
I’m thoroughly sick of it.
What difference does it make if the actor is gay? There were lots of gay actors in old movies, but at the time nobody knew they were gay.
Pluto TV Network has been an excellent place to find movies, long remembered and enjoyed. Edward G Robinson in The Red House, Christmas movies similar to Hallmark, romance, off the wall sports, etc.
We thoroughly enjoy watching, and it can be done on your computer or Smart TV.
Those were the good old days!

All the hallmark movies are horrible. Just horrible dreck with awful, trite stories.
hallmark....don't make the mistake of trying to please everyone...your audience is we the people.
having said that, I welcome more stories on black Americans falling in love in romantic stories...I'll bet there is large number of overlooked black Americans who would enjoy this too....
The last movie I saw about an old couple in love was “Right of Way” with Bette Davis & Jimmy Stewart.
They close the garage door & start the engine of his classic Dodge.
Finis.
You nailed it! Smart sassy woman with correct urban liberal views & plunked into designer country setting, reeducates her love interest until he is flaked & formed to her taste.
Christmas dinner at a rustic fifteen foot table with multiethnic & multisexual guests is a must.
I’d much rather watch reruns of “Wings of the Luftwaffe”.
“Noticed several jewelry commercials have gone gay this year.”
Probably one of the few products where the companies thought it thro instead of just being PC. Two people with no kids makes for expendable income and they tend to be a bit extravagant in style. I’m sure Liberace made a few jewellers rich.
Amen to everything you have said. I come from a family that had a lot of anger and drama. It is healing to me to see happy families, and hopeful to see things end happy. Their movies sometimes make me sad because life is not so neat and tidy.
Is that your life has become so politicized that you no longer have appreciation for wholesome movies that have happy endings and instead look for some subliminal message in those movies that would confirm your somewhat jaded outlook on life......
“Successful working woman from the city takes a vacation from her high-stress six figure corporate job to visit the country during the Christmas season in which she meets some very masculine blue-collar man who just lost his wife to cancer and has two or three kids running around. She ends up in a snowball fight with the kids and after getting knocked down, the man picks her up and they start kissing. A little drama ensues. But in the end, she eschews her life in the city and decides she will stay with the man and the kids out in the country living a simpler life.”
EXACTLY what I say/said.
Same movie, different character names. . .but yet my wife records and watches all of those movies.
There’s one that was made in 2005 “Silver Bells” with Anne Heche that has a lot of depth. They were showing it every year until the last couple of years. Disappointed that they’ve stopped airing it.
“. . .Lifetime channel had a gay Episcopal priest and his “husband” with their adopted baby along with the obligatory remark about small towns not accepting gays.”
Talk about small towns and gays, reminds me of my son’e wedding. His mother-in-law and father-m-law graduated from MIT back in the mid-70’s. The both got a job in DC, him with the new EPA. He has worked in the same building all those years. Mother-in-law with her anthropology PhD went to work for the Smithsonian. She never left the building she started work in.
Both are extremely liberal and are completely convinced that Wash DC should control every aspect of life, to run the country, that state and local government are an anachronism and should be abolished.
Anyway, when my son and his bride decided to get married, they were going to tie the knot in Corpus. Mother-in-law seriously stated she would not attend the wedding because it was in TEXAS, and everyone knows Texas is full of hicks and bigots. Besides, mother-in-laws son is gay and if he went to the wedding we Texans would beat and kill her homosexual son.
Seriously. She truly believed in all that nonsense.
Eventually she relented, barely, and came to the wedding. When in Corpus she said she was surprised at the diversity of Texas, and was doubly surprised by the high number of Hispanic people in Corpus.
Ignorance grows in DC. . .
One black grandparent.
Are we back (on the other side) of One Drop Rule????
Be careful what you wish for, because a lot of us eeeeeeevil White people are 1-2% subsaharan African and we can now prove it.
