Carebear, I guess that's a good point, but it's not quite what I'm saying.
First of all, one can't mock the Bible-thumpers for making the usual error of over-reaction. Because they haven't, in this case. There just isn't a whole lot of talk about it.
Secondly, what talk there has been, has been no different than the usual outcry of
any group against a book or film that counters their point of view. It's hardly "communism" to point out the ideological undercurrent of such media, and suggest that your group avoid it or not support it with their cash. You don't have a problem with the concept of the boycott, do you?
Edit:
Of course, there are fringe lunatics that declare the end of days every time some movie like this comes out. There are wackos that call for such movies to be legally banned, just as there are people that want every Muslim deported, or people like Michael Savage that want every ACLU lawyer put in jail. But the nut-job over-reaction doesn't invalidate another's reasonable response. If I understand your stance correctly, you are saying people are too stupid and manipulable to be allowed to watch biased movies. So, for their own good, they shouldn't?
Muh, huh, what? How can I allow anyone to do anything, or stop them?
Yes, of course, some people are manipulated and misled by books and films. You don't deny that, do you? We're talking about a movie that appeals to kids. Whether people go to see it, or not, it's helpful to at least point out the arguments that a film is making, and counter those that are misleading.
And finally, I would certainly suggest that most people avoid the propaganda of those I disagree with. Why on Earth wouldn't I? Why don't you?
