Movies--speaking of banning

So, reading the thread about book banning reminded me of a telephone call I recieved a few weeks ago from "The Dove Foundation" (www.dove.org). Apparently their mission is to urge Hollywood to produce more "wholesome, family oriented" entertainment.

The woman actually said to me that some families find it inconvenient always monitor what their kids are watching, I told her that it really doesn't bother me to monitor what my kids see. She kept asking me these questions and ignoring my answers because obviously they weren't in the script. She then asked me if I agreed that Hollywood should create more family friendly entertainment, I said no, and tried to explain my position and she actually started reading her script again, talking over me.

I really couldn't take that so I said, "We're not interested, thank you" and hung up.

My position is, Hollywood should make whatever it wants to make and what sells. Hollywood is not under any obligation to make what I personally want to see. If they don't like what Hollywood is cooking, shouldn't they take their little organization and do something besides whine and expect Hollywood to change for them? How about starting their own family oriented production company?

She told me that they weren't trying to ban other movies, just asking for more of what they want to see. I find that a little hard to swallow because I see no shortage G rated entertainment. It may not be as plentiful, but it's there. (Though I understand that some Christians also take issue with many of the G rated movies coming out of Hollywood, especially from Disney, that may be a whole other topic).

Do you think that Hollywood should make more of certain types of movies to satisfy a group of people?

Let me answer with a counter question

: is that group of people actually interested in that type of movies?

Meaning: if there is no demand, there will be no supply. And in the movie business there rarely is a supply before there is a demand. People want to see certain types of movies, and in this case, the majority wins and the minority (that group in this case) loses.

That small group may want to have different kinds of movies, but when they complain, and then don't show up when a movie IS in their league, what is the use of even making them? So.. as far as if they should make more of those movies.. unless there is an audience, a SHOW-UP audience, my opinion is no.
