Oh wonderful... Courageous Ads

[marmalade]

Trailers for "Courageous" have made it to cable TV (during a repeat episode of Project Runway, which I found hilarious).

The clip had a guy on a stage asking where the courageous "people" were. I must assume the audience was all male, since we all know that striving toward the patriarchal model is the goal of this movie.

At any rate, I think the slot they got won't put too many butts in the seats, what with all the heathen wimmens and teh gheys watching a PR marathon. :mrgreen:

I really don't want to be subjected to this for the next two weeks; I'll have to take refuge on Bravo or LOGO where there is ZERO chance of the trailer seeing the light of day. Once was enough.

I may have to sneak into the beginning of it the next time I go see a real movie. I'm curious what coming attactions will be permitted in that movie considering that even disney stuff is too gay friendly for them!

They probably have no control over the "coming attractions."

[tehgoobster]

I'm not surprised. Sony is distributing it, so they're probably paying to have it advertised. I wonder what kind of reviews this movie will get.

I've been seeing the ads here in heathen San Francisco. I've seen it at least 3 times, it's killing me! I have to admit that I think all of them were during Dr. Phil in the past 3 days.

[DamnPrecious]

I seen the commercial during Dr. Phil.

Yes, I watch Dr. Phil.

[PBrooke]

Thanks for the warning, seriously. I think I might've screamed if I'd been innocently watching TV and saw something fundie "out in the wild."

I saw a trailer while watching "I didn't know I was pregnant". It was for Corageous in Canada. Why did you have to let them infiltrate the country. Why Canada, WHHHHHHYYYY? I do know where it's playing here, and it's for sure not a major theatre. I've never been there. But it's a real theatre and normal people go there, so this is scary.

I'm also in heathen SF (Oakland, actually) and besides the placement during Project Runway, I laughed at the geographical buy. We're more Sunday paper/coffee/brunch types around here.

I can't remember what show I was watching when I saw it. I was kind of surprised and my husband was all "Well that looks lame."

[GenerationCedarchip]

We've seen the trailer on TV here, too. Inexplicably, it keeps airing during The Soup and it's kind of weird to see that mixed in with all the Plan B and condom ads that normally air in that slot. It's been on several times and my husband has been amusing himself making up alternate dialogue for it. He also thinks it would benefit from a good Bollywood dance number or two.

I couldn't resist watching an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras last night that focused on "pagent dads". Yes the men were spray tanning their daughters and putting Red Bull into baby bottles.

They showed the same preview for Courageous! It seemed pretty ironic because I don't know how many fundies would approve of allowing a 16 year old to wear make up, let alone a 18 MONTH old.

Who is paying to clean up my computer? Milk spewed in a 3 foot radius. :) :)

Hmm, maybe that was where I saw the Courageous trailer. I saw it during a more mainstream show recently but couldn't remember what it was. I thought they downplayed the religious aspect in the short trailer...the guy at the end was probably preaching from a pulpit, but you wouldn't be able to tell that for sure in the clip. It also looked like the kind of movie that might air on the Hallmark Channel or something, not a movie that would actually be released in theaters. The plot is just really uninspired and overdone.

Maybe this one?

So we can have something to laugh at? That's my guess anyway.

You made my night, Benny Lava.

And we totally need a Bollywood smilie. That would be awesome. Maybe with anacondas?

[alphaeta08]

Just saw a commercial for it on TLC (it's about 12:15 A.M.)! It was ridiculous. Not too surprising for TLC, I guess. I wonder if the advertising is in any way connected to the Duggars?

[IrishRose]

I've seen commercials for it during the late afternoon/evening on regular tv including a local newscast at 6:00.

I'm personally a fan of this one:

Didn't you know Oakland is ok, since that's Family Radio HQ? (I grew up listening to Mr. Camping's Open Forum with my parents, and at the end of each broadcast he'd recite the address to reach him at, always ending in 'Oakland, California, 94621'.
