A Gay Time

The wife is a Christmas movie-aholic. GAF never had many, but Hallmark had a gay couple in almost every new production.
Last year.
We've both noticed something this year...gay couples are non-existent in new movies. Even gay characters are less numerous.
Things have changed...

They are fun to watch and usually pretty optimistic and have a good ending, but some are so unintentional bad that the are funny.
There was one that was supposed to be in Chicago in Christmas, but they would drive down the street and there were palm trees and the "snow" was pretty obvious cotton stuffing placed on the bushes. Even the acting was of the same quality.
-
About how I feel about them. Some are ok, some are bad, most are formulaic.
Here's the reason for the thread...One of Hallmark's best known stars, is Christian and thought Hallmark was starting to head in the wrong direction. She jumped ship for GAF. GAF's ratings increased, as they got into the Christmas movie biz.
It's another "is being woke hurting our business" thread...

Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

And they make most of them in Canada.
Have some pride, man!

For the most part, I find Xmas movies dreadful.

I do too, but I'm glad they're made.

You're in trouble when you think that Hallmark is a bit edgy.

So I’ve been told. Probably to take advantage of all the various provincial government grants and subsidies available for film making across the country. I have a friend who lives in Vancouver who has done very well for himself and his family over the years being casted in many of these festive schmaltz pics.

I seem to remember that a lot of movies were shot in Toronto, presumably because they wanted somewhere that looked like New York but with people who were very slightly less obnoxious.

I thought it had something to do with unions and their stranglehold on any movie that gets made in America.

Possible, but less amusing.
I read somewhere that half of US movies are made overseas, with the most popular places being Canada and the UK. Being a citizen of both countries, it can only be a matter of time before they call on my very particular set of skills.

Don't do it, AX. Don't do it 'ol pal.
Just look at GAF spelled backwards.
It's all a setup to get you to admit you hate GAF's. -

GAF written backwards might mean "Fabulous As Gay," no?
Gotta think positive, man, it's the spirit of the season.
