Terry Mattingly profiles Dick Staub and his negative assessment of Facing the Giants:
“If this film DOES make tons of money, Hollywood may distribute more of them. Do we really want to send the message to Hollywood that the kind of films Christians want will be characterized by poor acting, low production values that are inoffensive, make us cry and also make tons of money? Is this truly how we want to influence Hollywood for God?”
Hmmm, sounds not unlike those criticisms Steve Burgess made of Bon Cop, Bad Cop the other day. I’ve been saying it for years already, and I’ll probably say it for years to come — the identity crises suffered and expressed by Christians and Canadians when confronted by mainstream pop culture sound awfully similar.
