It will be claimed that this movie was timed to take down the candidacy of Mitt Romney. Of course, Mitt has been running for a long time now, and all movie productions can't await his pleasure.

Will there be boycotts? Pickets? Harumphing LTEs? Mormon Defense League rallies? Candlelight vigils against "persecution"?

My guy says if Mittens doesn't win it is because of religious discrimination. He is poised to feel noble as he suffers potential "persecution" by those evangelicals.

projects this big to get moving. The surging interest in Mormonism in the entertainment industry stems from the church's self inflicted wound of gay hatred.

I talked to my TBM mom last week; of course she is a Mitten's Kitten - she remarked with a great deal of bitterness that whenever a Mormon is a national front-runner "they" start airing programs about polygamy like "Sister Wives" and "Big Love".

She said Warren Jeffs trial was held up until Romney's "numbers were good".

She doesn't know about "Banners" yet, but she will probably think "Hollywood" is anti-Mormon.

Of course, I think truth is "anti-Mormon" but I don't tell her that.

Mitten's Kitten - good one. I know a few of those myself.

Too bad Ron Howard is making it. His movies generally suck.

Ron Howard's a bit hit or miss it seems.
