Veggie Pirate Spotting!

I had another Veggie Marketing sighting when I went to see National Treasure 2. (my first sighting) This was a framed poster in the theater – pretty cool! The movie hits theaters on January 11th! Let me encourage you to take the family and GO SEE IT! It is a great movie, but besides that, we need to show Universal that good wholesome, even Christian, movies are worth investing in! If this movie doesn’t do well in theaters we risk losing the argument that “Hollywood” refuses to produce good movies and help them in their argument that they don’t because people don’t go to see them. Do your part and support the film in the theaters so the market will be encouaged to make more clean wholesome fun entertainment for the kids of America! Allow to me share an excerpt from what I wrote to Phil and Mike to thank them for participating in the Veggie Pirates Q and A on Kidology: The Pirates film is FANTASTIC and I am praying that God will really use this as an opportunity to show the secular media world that Good entertainment is a worthy investment. I hope that many people will see…

A Pirate on the Side of the Road

Saw my first Veggie Pirate Movie ad today since I went to the early screening. I was able to grab my camera and snap this out the passenger window while at a red light: Since I first announced this film was coming I’ve been curious how the marketing would be. I get their e-mails regularly and I , but I’m curious how the general public will find out about the movie since Universal is underwriting and marketing it. It is only a few weeks away… I hope I see more promotion. It really is a great film with a fantastic message. HOW MUCH ADVERTISING HAVE YOU SEEN? Where? I do encourage you to see it in theaters. Christians whine a lot about the poor morals of films, and then when secular film production companies come out with something wholesome and truly good entertainment, we tend to yawn or wait until DVD. If that is the case, we really have no right to complain when the world “spices” things up to grow their audience. Let’s show them we’ll come out for good wholesome fun. And it’s not like it is a mercy viewing, it really is a very fun and entertaining movie!…

An Open Letter to Philip Pullman

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY and an Open Letter to Philip Pullman (discuss this post on Kidology.org) “Here we go again,” was my first thought when I got my first (of many) e-mails warning me about the latest assault on Christianity in the form of a major motion picture based on a trilogy of children’s books written by a professing atheist. The Golden Compass became almost an obsession to parents and children’s leaders across the nation as blogs and church bulletins were filled with warnings against this “threat” to our children. The author, Philip Pullman, seemed pleased by the uproar and fueled the debate himself with his own anti-Christian, anti-religious, anti-God, and anti-C.S. Lewis comments. Unlike R.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, whose message may have been harmful or dangerous to an unparented child, but was not written for that purpose, Pullman practically boasted his anti-Christian agenda. And so the e-mails and blogosphere erupted in a frenzied panic to fight the message of this upcoming film. (Remember The DaVinci Code?) I’m all for this wave of helpful communication. Well written reviews have been written both by Christian and secular reviewers. (Focus on the Family and TIME magazine) My own website, Kidology.org, hosted a lengthy…
