Christmas in Hollywoke The American Spectator
is the week before Christmas and on TCM,
Yuletide movies are playing AM to PM.
Hallmark Channel and Lifetime are doing the same,
but with made-for-TV films, most of them lame.
Full of leftwing inclusion so blatantly woke,
They seek to make Christmas a liberal joke.
When what to conservative eyes should appear?
Great American Family for traditional cheer.
"Perusing the weeklong Christmas movie marathon on Turner Classic Movies, which has the best film library on television, I noted that for all its history of screen magic, Hollywood made surprisingly few great Christmas pictures over a hundred-plus years. True, the four finest — It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), Miracle on 34th Street (1947), A Christmas Carol (1951), and A Christmas Story (1983) — aren’t owned by TCM, but four more doesn’t add much to the ratio.". . .
. . ."Nonetheless, wokeness has polluted this year’s movie batch. Ceaseless progressive criticism about non-inclusive content intimidated the Hallmark Channel into producing its first Christmas gay romance, The Holiday Sitters, two Chinese-American ones (A Big Fat Family Christmas, Christmas at the Golden Dragon), two Jewish ones (Hanukkah on Rye, Love, Lights, Hanukkah!) which somewhat obscure the Christmas spirit. As for feminist-heavy Lifetime, in what seems like every other Christmas movie, a supporting female character introduces another woman as her wife.
"In fact, other than the royal-themed fare, none of the recent films have the least dose of spiritual value, and rather seem to exploit the holiday for mercenary purposes. The trend proved too much for two conservative former Hallmark Channel heavyweights, ex-honcho Bill Abbott and Christmas-movie darling Candace Cameron Bure. Abbott became CEO of the new Great American Family network, and Cameron Bure joined him there as chief creative officer and continuing movie star (A Christmas … Present).
"The actress gave an unequivocal reason for leaving Hallmark and joining GAF — traditional values closer aligned to the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Christ. “My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,” Bure said. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.”
"But it was another Bure remark that sent Hollywoke into a feeding frenzy. Responding to a Wall Street Journal question about LGBTQ storylines at her new channel, Bure said, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.” To no one’s surprise, the blowback for her not kneeling to the rainbow militia was instantaneous and fierce.". . .
And this: Hallmark Researchers Say They Are Close To Developing A Second Movie Plot
"Emerging from deep within the lower levels of a high-security Hollywood laboratory, Hallmark researchers have surfaced to announce they are finally nearing the development of a second movie plot.
"This second movie plot is reported to be vastly different from the original plot which has been utilized in 1,437 Hallmark movies.". . .
