I'll never forget Dolly Parton telling an interviewer who had asked her who she had voted for, "Why in the world would I tell you that and anger half of my audience." Wise lady. I keep hearing the gay shepard's are doing well. I find it hard to believe but that was the last thing I read. I know I won't be going to see it any time soon though.

The movie companies say let's make films that half the country, or more, don't want to see The political agenda trumps good business sense They're not going to get half the population no matter what they do. Only nine percent of the US population regularly goes to movies and only four percent of the US population will buy even the highest selling DVD's. "In the 1940s, Hollywood’s pre-TV heyday, 60 percent of the nation went to the movies regularly. That figure is now 9 percent." 72.14.203.104 "The original Shrek held the title of top-selling DVD until it was passed by Monsters Inc. (12 million) Spider-Man (13.8 million) and then Nemo." usatoday.com
