(I-Newswire) - Add One to Pre-Oscar Nods: American Values Awards

Conservative Seattle Publisher Invites Colleagues to Honor Films that Americans Actually Like

Magic Picture Frame Studio, publisher of the history text, Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame, is calling upon other conservative media organizations to join with it in launching the American Values Awards for Movies and Television ( TM ). Because the highest-grossing movies of 2005, and of all time, depict stories of love, honor, commitment, good versus evil, and the triumph of the human spirit, Studio founder Michael Class believes there should be an award that “recognizes the portrayal of these traditional American values in movies and on television.”

The winners for 2005 include:

Cinderella Man, a story of commitment to family during the Great Depression; The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, a morality play based on the New Testament of the Holy Bible; Star Wars: Episode III and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, stories of good versus evil; The Great Raid, a true story of American heroism during World War II; End of the Spear, a true story of spiritual growth and finding God; Millions, an off-beat story about doing the right thing.

“I want media leaders with a sense of patriotism and respect for family to join with me to turn the American Values Awards into a high-profile event,” says Class, who launched the Studio after helping start a successful Seattle-based Internet company and take it public.

The retired dot-com executive is intent on transforming the way children learn American history and moral values. His company’s first release is the museum-quality book, Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame, in which a modern boy time-travels into great events of the 20th century. Amazing digital photos place Anthony with the heroes of the past ( See: http://www.MagicPictureFrame.com ).

“Skip Syriana, Munich, and Brokeback Mountain unless your only criterion for seeing a movie is aesthetic merit. They are morally confused -- I don’t want my kids seeing them,” Class asserts. “Syriana blames America for terrorism. Munich confuses justice with vengeance. Brokeback Mountain? What’s positive about a film whose main character’s sexual behavior destroys a family?”

And, for 2006? “See Glory Road,” Class advises. “It’s a story of character, integrity, and overcoming prejudice. It’s a story of doing something that is bigger than yourself.”

I guess I'm happy for Cinderella Man

...with a Hustler comfortably tucked underneath their beds...

you mean BBM didn't sweep here??

yeah where's BBM? don't gays have values.

What happened to Harry Potter being evil devil-worshipping material? And wow they were quick on getting End of the Spear in there.

Not as long as the current Commander-in-Chief has anything to say about it, they don't.

It's people like this that make others suffer in silence like the characters from BBM.

Well End of the Spear up there makes perfect sense. Unless you have (Native) American values, or are morally confused...

OH MY GOD is this retarded! I hope his mission to make this a big event fails! BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN can help make the world a better place. Yes it's tragic what happens to the family in it and how they are torn apart, but that's why it's important for people to treat gay people as equals so people don't have to hide and live lies, taking others down with them. But of course whenever you hear the words "family values" it never includes gay people since they think all gay people do is ruin families. Well it wouldn't have to be like that. You can have a very happy and loving family with two parents of the same sex at the head of it. It's absolutely no different than if it was a man or woman or hell, even just a man or just a woman. They say kids need a mother and a father so gay people raising kids isn't good for them, yet there are tons of single parents out there raising kids and it's ok.

Whenever I hear the words "family values" I think anti-gay, because anyone behind those words seems to be a fuckin' homophobe.

Of course not! We like to molest children and kill people, though for some odd reason most child molestors are heterosexual males.

Well... I mean... he is right here. That is the main moral dilemma of the film...

Wow, Mike makes a post that's ragingly prejudiced against conservatives, big fucking surprise.

Wait? Didn't you vote for him?


True, very true, but somehow, I don't think that's what he meant.



And this surprises you?

I say Dolce should spear them!

Yeah, but I mean... at least he understands it.

It's one thing for someone to say...

"Brokeback Mountain is full of gay peoples and they are icky"

It's something else to say...

"Brokeback Mountain is full of oppressed people who can't express themselves sexually, and they are icky"

True, it makes the commentary more... evil? But at least they *understood* the movie

(btw, I don't think gay people are icky. Only lennier.)

Speaking of values...

Is anybody else bothered by the fact that the main characters names are "Ennis" and "Jack".

I mean... It's like a Bond movie.

Get your mind out of the gutter . It isn't Anus, nor is it even said the same. I think people thinking of the names in this way and actually having a problem with it are a tad immature.

"Anus???"

Gee I was far off. I was thinking PEnnis.

Anyway, to clarify something, I don't have a problem with everything religious. I don't when it comes to religious stuff that actually isn't anti-gay. I didn't bash the shows Joan of Arcadia or Book of Daniel because their Christian message was positive and all-inclusive. It wasn't like, "Jesus loves you, unless you're gay." Even though I'm not religious I have no problem with the positive Christian things, and I don't have a problem with the religious people that aren't closed-minded and unaccepting of everyone. My cousins and aunt are religious but pro-gay, therefore I don't mind that they are. My oldest sister is extremely religious and anti-gay and thinks I have a demon in me because I'm gay, and so she bothers me.

But if you think things like this make me prejudice then I guess I am. I don't care if you want to call me that. Everyone is prejudice in some way even if they don't want to admit it or try not to be.

Either it's "Eh-nis" or "EE-nis". Either way there is only one victor:

Humor.

It wasn't just Jack, it was Jack Twist.

A big ...

I saw it on TV last night, and you could almost cut the awkwardness with a knife. He really didn't know what to do with the question...as usual
