I don't fault facebook for any of that. It is up to each individual to monitor their own privacy settings. It's not so difficult and if an individual still can't figure it out they can google how (like anything else). Facebook, like any other social media, is as private or as open as the user...

I love my family, but have recently found it necessary to limit their access to my Facebook feed. It's not that I'm posting wild content. I'm fairly conservative compared to many of my friends. It's just the older my family members get the more they turn into Quakers. It's best to keep their...

Some stories are about what we can aspire to be, others are about lost chances at redemption. Both are equally as valid. The only harmful story device is one that is over-analyzed in order to meet the requirements for children. It's up to the parents to decide what their kids can see. Sure...

I agree and think it's served its purpose as a warm up act for bigger and better things to come. There were some great Muppet moments, but after some distance it's clear that the two main hosts of this program really don't work well with the Muppet brand and the idea of a serious cooking show is...

I've defended the unknown developments at Weinstein. However, after hearing this latest one with Hoodwinked Too, I am now officially concerned that they want to give the Fraggles a dreadful Muppets From Space or Elmo in Grouchland sort of treatment instead of just allowing the Fraggles to be the...

Hoodwinked made $51 million domestically, $110 million at the worldwide box office and it likely didn't cost that much to make. The shoestring budget was never disclosed, but it's my assumption that it fell under $25 million and by that standard it was a healthy hit. It was a bold experiment in...

"Hoodwinked Too" finally gets a release date this April 29th opposite "Fast Five" ("Fast and Furious" sequel), "Prom" (a Disney kid flick) and "There Be Dragons" (a Spanish Civil War drama) with "13 Assassins" (Japanese foreign film) and "The Troll Hunter" (Norway foreign film) in limited...

I still don't think that many of the themes you're speaking of were specifically intended to be Christian, but I'm sure it was known that the morality of particular movies fell in line with Christian morality and that was probably intentional. I guess we're saying the same thing. I don't recall...

Agreed! :) Double agreed! ;)

Christian Supremecy hasn't ever been a Disney Value I can agree that many Disney films past and present have themes that are inclusive to Christian values, but they were never beholden to them. Any idea that they were or are smacks of religious narcissism. And such narcissism is creepy and...

Tolerance is not acceptance of a belief. It's merely accepting the right of others to follow it without enforcing personal judgment. That's a good thing in my book. However, that sometimes gets confused by all groups as the need for personal conversion in order to be tolerant. That is not so and...

No offense taken, but I completely reject your point and premise in its entirety. I think we live in a much more tolerant place than we did when I was a kid and the many years of America before that. I hear religious stuff of all sorts all the time and this is San Francisco! We're known for our...

Yeah, but that's an incredible stretch! Entertainment reflects societal times and Disney didn't play the God card any more than other studios. In fact, I think they played it a little less. (the off-topic bit) I understand the call for tolerance, yet I don't think that giving different points...

Those aren't Disney moments with the Muppet brand so I don't think you got the point - - Disney's handling of the Muppets in the last few years has been far better than the years preceding their ownership. There's a greater media consciousness and they are attempting to clear the post-Jim...
