"The Blind Side"...Here We Go Again

[Fightingtowin]

"Poo" Holtz playing a role in this pro-black "tear jerker" is all too fitting.

I remember after BYU beat Oklahoma earlier this season, Kirk Herbstriet (who was giving BYU high praise) asked "Poo" if BYU could play in the nation title game, assuming they ran the table.

Holtz erupted with sarcastic laughter, and was screaming "they don't have the athleticism to compete!" with his trademark lisp messing up every "SSS."

Michael Oher, other than being a clinically braindead sumo, actually seemed like a pretty nice guy during all his interviews. As far a I know, he hasnt been involved in any illegal activity...which is more than can be said for his fellow 1st round nergoe thug-wanna-be's.

Yeah its actually not a bad story, not considering the "caste" implications. If we hadnt already been down this road so many times I would probably be more open minded about it...

If there weren't 10 "black athlete overcoming the odds" movies every year made by Disney or in a Disney-like way this kind of movie could peak my interest. Now it just makes me nauseous. This movie must have been in production before "The Express" bombed because that movie is when the bubble finally burst.

"Granny" Holtz is another pro-caste buffoon...like fellow ex-coach Mike "Gangsta Rap/"PoopLogg's Homie" Ditka.

At least Lou Holtz speaks highly of Toby Gerhart and doesn't discredit him at all. Also, when Tyler Roehl had a huge game against Minnesota last year, he said something about Minnesota's approach to him in the game, finishing "and you don't do that to the back from South Dakota State." As in they should have taken him more seriously/given a better effort in stopping the run. Yes, there are a lot of times when he credits affletes "ath-a-leticsm," but at least he's willing to give credit to white RBs. Did he ever play any white RBs since the late 80s?

Churches are now ad vehicles for Hollywood movies

The Blind Side, about rich white Christians who adopt a 350 lb black teenager who goes on to play in the NFL, is one of the most popular movies of the year. It's already grossed $200 million, which is astonishing considering it's not an "action hero"Â movie, or filled with amazing special effects. But it's less astonishing when you find out that thousands and thousands of churches allowed their "worship services"Â to be turned into ads for the movie. Hollywood even provided sermon outlines based on the movie.

Long before the film, which is based on Michael Lewis' bestselling, non-fiction book about a wealthy, Evangelical couple in Memphis who welcome a poor, African-American kid into their home and see him go on to become a high-school football phenomenon, was first making wavesâ€"back in November, it did the unthinkable and unseated Twilight: New Moon in its third weekend at the box officeâ€"Grace Hill Media, a marketing and PR firm that specializes in faith-based audiences, was aggressively selling The Blind Side to pastors and ministers around the country. (Alcon Entertainment, which financed and produced the film, worked with Warner Bros. on more traditional marketing.)

The film's enormous Christian audience, while not the only reason for its success (the movie is considered a "four quadrant"Â hit that is appealing to male, female, young and old) "definitely has a lot to do with its staying power,"Â said Jeff Bock, a box-office analyst at Exhibitor Relations. "It acted like one of those faith-based films that didn't go down at the box office weekend to weekend. Eight weeks later, it's still strong."Â

One of Grace Hill's most innovative techniques was to provide half a dozen clips from The Blind Side, along with "sermon outlines,"Â to 22,000 megachurches (most of which are equipped with huge screens, typically used to display lyrics to rock hymns). Pastors were encouraged to, while showing a movie clip to their congregation, apply a "biblical connection"Â and "life application"Â contained in the Grace Hill promotional materials.

The notes to one outline, called "Turning the Car Around"Ââ€"which is based on the scene in which Leigh Anne Tuohy persuades her husband to stop and pick up "Big Mike" Oher from the side of the road on a cold, damp nightâ€"suggest this as a "sermon starter"Â: "Has God ever nudged your heart? Maybe you've driven past someone and felt a tug, a sudden surge of compassion. The Spirit may have prompted you to act."Â

The accompanying biblical connection references the passage from Matthew 25:35-36: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you took me in"¦"Â

According to Jonathan Bock, the founder and president of Grace Hill (no relation to Jeff Bock), a typical megachurch seats about 400 people. Thus this marketing effort alone reached nearly 9 million people. Then there were the early screenings for religious groups; the press junkets to which members of the Christian media were invited; and calls to spread the word about The Blind Side on Twitter and through other social-networking means.

If by some miracle the movie had been about a Christian family adopting a homeless racially aware White kid, those same churches would have rejected it as "hateful."

 

[FootballDad]

Gag me. I detest sermons that are based on an agenda, and then hung on a bible verse to make it "legitimate".

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Sickening! I'm so sick of this story, movie and everything that goes with it. It has been a pain since 2004.

 

[White Shogun]

The problem with movies like this is that it will encourage people to take complete strangers into their homes, thinking all the poor kid needs is a chance; and then they'll come home to find their house emptied of valuables.

One's first duty and obligation is to one's family; the safety and welfare of your children and your wife come first. As the saying goes, charity begins in the home, and putting your family at risk is uncharitable to say the least.

Anther problem with the scenario in this movie is the emasculation of the male householder, symptomatic of our modern society. The woman in this family evidently runs the household, and in typical female fashion, thinks with her 'heart' instead of her head. At least her friends thought her insane.

 

[johnnyboy]

ah dont worry guys, this movie will BOMB

it didn't bomb. i'm surprised too. i ended up watching it and thought it was pretty good. it still doesn't make up for "the Express," that movie completely sucked.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Pretty good lies/bleeding heart multiculturalist story of White guilt.

 

[johnnyboy]

for me it was less about "white guilt" and more about a white family giving a break to a kid who was stuck in a situation no kid should be in.

if the kid was a gang member or loud mouthed thug, then i would've walked out the theatre, but he wasn't. he was teenage kid that got screwed in the parental lottery, and if it wasn't for this family, he would have probably ended up dead or in jail.

if you want to watch a movie about white guilt, watch "Glory Road." there's a scene where Don Haskins character tells the white players on his team that he's going to bench them so that their black teammates can win and prove the racists wrong. talk about hypocrisy.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

JB, I understand your sentiments, but Z.O.G enabled "Hollyweird" is constantly pushing "White Guilt" by portraying precious minorities as held-down by us vicious, eeeevil Whites. They also love showing ******* protagonists/heros in movies. "The Blind Side" held many cultural marxist overtones.

***There are plenty of impoverished, orphaned White children (Appalachia, South Africa, Eastern Europe) that need adoption. However, these self-important leftist pantywaists try to be "stylish" (ala "BrAngelina" the vermin) by adopting untermenschen instead of need children of their own race. I hold these primadonna Whites who adopt non-Whites (over available White kids) as weak minded, gutless, race traitors.

[Colonel_Reb]

My point precisely. Movies like this guilt Whites into adopting non-whites by making viewers feel sorry for the poor neglected diversity. Do we see stories like this about a White couple adopting a White kid who then makes something of himself instead of having all kind of strings pulled for him by and because of his millionaire adoptive parents? Nope. The movie is a total joke. Millions of White kids right here in the US who need the support, teaching, and an appreciation of their culture and heritage that only a White family can give them. Instead, movies like this, and many clueless starlets push the exact opposite agenda. They encourage Whites to adopt some diversity here in the states or go abroad and bring back some other non-white from a totally foreign culture. This practice is incomprehensible in many ways, until you figure in the effectiveness of constant multiculturalist propaganda in reprogramming the sheeple's minds.

I have no respect for piglet Angelina anymore. Same goes for Madonna. All they do is further push the mainstream idea that blacks need to be saved. I can tell everyone on this site that whites are suffering all over Europe. I have family there and it's not a great life. My aunt has a bachelors degree and makes a whopping $1000 a month teaching.

 

[jaxvid]

It's all about owning an exotic pet, who wants a boring ol' caucasian puppy when you can have a negro one? All your friends will envy you, it's the really cool thing to do. Just think of all the fun the extra drama will bring to your life!

 

[whiteathlete33]

Jolie and Madonna really are special people. It takes a special person to adopt a negro from another country knowing that he will grow up to hate them and most likely become a felon.

 

[Tired old White]

This movie can be used for political Ju-Jitsu. The next time you are in a discussion particularly with a person of "colour bring this movie up and ask them to cite a similar story in which a black family took in a poor homeless white child. If there are any they obviously did not sell because I am totally unaware of it. Then simply state their are none because unlike whites blacks are to racist to help a child of another race.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Not only do blacks never help whites but look at all the destruction they have caused. Look at the number of cities they have left in ruins like Detroit for example. Whitey is expected to fix everything for them at all times. If anyone should be bit-hing about racism it should be us.

 

[jaxvid]

Ha ha, I'm surprised no one has commented on the amazing slap in the face to Mrs. Oscar winner Sandra Bullock done by her poon hound husband. The apt named Jesse James has been cheating on her highness and not with just anybody but with a porn star/slut into white power!

Michelle Bombshell is reputedly a White Power freak and has done Nazi-themed porn. Some of you guys don't get too excited (you know who you are).

 

[Don Wassall]

I have no idea who Bullock's husband, "Jesse James," is, but he better watch out for his feminazi wife:

Sandra Bullock's ironic advice to Tiger Woods' wife

Jesse James may want to hide the baseball bats


Sandra Bullock gave Elin Nordegren some advice about Tiger Woods' multiple infidelities about two months before her own husband's multiple infidelities were alleged, FOXNews.com reports.

Two more women have come forward claiming to have had affairs with Sandra Bullock's husband Jesse James, bringing the total number of his alleged mistresses to four, reports TMZ.

Celebrity website Hollywood Life uncovered audio of Bullock at the People's Choice Awards on January 6. On the tape, Sandra tells "The Insider": "If I were Elin "¦ man, I would have hit a lot more than she did "¦ I would have kept hitting!"Â￾



"You would still be swinging the golf club?"Â￾ the interviewer responds.


"Yeah, she stopped. She was respectable. I'd get the baseball bat, I'd get everything out,"Â￾ Bullock said.


Two months later, Bullock is at the centre of her own husband's cheating scandal, as tattooed women continue to come out of the woodwork to allege affairs with the Monster Garage star.


A source told FOXNews.com that Bullock is back in Los Angeles and figuring out her next steps in regards to her career, her marriage, and her relationship with James' children.

[screamingeagle]

Could someone explain to me why women have all those tattoos on them It is ugly. A few tattos I would except, but not covering the entire body. I don't understand why guys would do it.
I was mistified why Ms Bulloch would marry this guy. She always had the nice girl next door image. I thought that underneath the glammour and glizt, Bulloch was a biker chick. Remember she is paid to act.
According to the Tabloids (which always tell the truth.) Ms Bulloch lived in Germany for 12 years and speaks fluet German. Her maternal grandfather was a nazi rocket scientist. Maybe James thought he was marrying a fellow Nazi fan. Then she starts in the most politically correct movie of the year and all hell breaks lose.
Why am I enjoying their pain so much?

SE, I concur on the "tat'd up" look. Personally, I think it's part of the "marketing of evil"...trying to make once frowned on activites look "cool" & trendy. Back in the day, it was only bikers, prisoners or military guys who sported tattoos. It's became "chic" over the last 10-15 years for average "joes & janes" to get tattoos. It's pretty common in MMA with younger fighters. Ironically, most of my favorite MMA fighters are "tat-free"...Fedor, Matt Hughes, Couture, Lindland, etc. I don't mind 1-2 tattoos, but this business of getting "covered up" is tacky & ugly IMO (especially on women

). Being an "old school" country boy, I have never considered getting one, as I consider it a defacement to the body God blessed me with.

Regarding Bullock...these "Hollyweirdos" never surprise me (with their off-screen behavior & choices). To succeed in Hollyweird (make the "A list", etc.) these folks have to compromise any morals & integrity (they may have once had) in order to embrace cultural marxism & serve their tribesman masters. Those who "buck the trend" face the same fate as this fella...

Kinda suprised that you don't have tattoes Dixie, I knida figured you would have the Confederate Flag on one arm and a "Don't Tread On Me" Flag on the other arm. I don't have any tats either for pretty much the same reason you have chose not to do so.
