In order to not make the pro-American films that so offend them, Leftist Hollywood lies and tells us pro-America doesn’t sell at what we’re told is the increasingly important foreign box office. And the hopelessly butt-boy entertainment media is always ready to help spread that lie. We knew that was a lie last year and now this year the single BIGGEST weekend for foreign grosses was captured by the openly pro-American, pro-U.S. Military Battle: Los Angeles.
In just 12 days, Battle: LA’s foreign take is $52 million — and this is a big-budget action film with no stars. However, during its entire run, the stridently anti-American “Green Zone” cleared only $59 million overseas, another big-budget action film, but this time with a big star and director. Wonder how Matt Damon likes them apples?
Oh, and congratulations to the new Narnia film for exceeding $300 million overseas, for a total take thus far of over $400 million worldwide. I guess in a world with a billion Christians Christianity does sell. Who knew?
THR:Battle: L.A.’s overseas gross accumulated over a dozen days stands at $51.9 million. The latest weekend gross is the highest of any No. 1 weekend tally recorded this year on the foreign circuit.
Meanwhile, Fox’s The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader passed the $300 million mark overseas, and Black Swan breached the $175 million barrier.
Maybe Leftist Hollywood’s going to tell us that America sells overseas today because Obama’s president – he’s not Bush and our overseas neighbors like him more because he closed Gitmo, oh wait; because he ended indefinite detentions, oh wait; because without Congressional approval he would never attack a Middle Eastern, oil-producing nation that wasn’t a threat to us, oh wait; because he wouldn’t fight a war of choice, oh wait; because… because… because…
Anyway, the next time some executive tries to tell you “America” doesn’t sell overseas, the response is an easier one than trying to remember all of this. Simply point them here and here. Then remind them that we saw what happened to Superman when Bryan Singer intentionally stripped him of his Americanism (and masculinity).
Now it’s time to wonder how the decision to tone down all that offensive America stuff in Captain America is settling in over at Marvel today.

Battle of Los Angeles is on my to do list this weekend! Most definitely a must see movie for me.
I see Battle: Los Angeles as a fun action filled movie, and nothing else. I am glad they portray our military in a good light, for the average soldier is a very nice person. Can't say the same for our highest ranking however. They are not chosen for military expertise, but for their willingness to do as they are told, even if it violates our Constitution. As for the Green Zone: I did not see as anti-American, but pointing the simple fact that the WMDs did not exist, and our government knew this fact far in advance of military action. To be believe Iraq was about Freedom, is the height of ignorance. We The People, have become dumber than a box of hair when it comes to applying good motives to all our government does. This is what is going to destroy us a free nation.
I am thrilled that a movie finally portrays American fighting men as the fine men the average soldiers are. And the Narnia Chronicles are doing well because of the Christians worldwide. We are tired of the likes of Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan and even Jane Fonda being shoved down our throats. Oh, for another John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart. (Like that will ever happen!)
I hate to rain on your parade, but traditional "Christianity" is just another false religion, worshiping the highest Greek Deity, "Zeus!" No, look up the word Petrus Galatinus on your search engine and get a history lesson based on fact, not theory! HOWEVER, YES! There really is a SAVIOR and he is of the HEBREW FAITH(Zeph. 3:9, Acts 26:14, 1 Cor. 4:6), just as some proof! p.s. "THE LORD" in Hebrew means Ba'al, whose worship absolutely forbidden!

My wife and I had the teen age sons of some good German friends here for a summer.
When they got here they wanted to go downtown to watch the "shooting and violence. That is the impression our beloved Hollywood is sending abroad. Everything out of Hollywood is violence and sex and frankly I for one am sick of it. How far will they stretch the envelope… until they can show people copulating in the streets?
Impressionable people believe this is what America is!
I’m not a prude by any stretch of imagination but I firmly believe that Hollywood is causing our beloved country to rot on the inside. and to be misread abroad. The only way to stop this is to boycott their trash. Don’t go to those movies, don’t watch those shows.
