What do you do for a living?

Have you ever been the subject of a film?

Do you know anyone in the industry?

Have you even investigated the ins and outs of that business?

The answer to all of the above is clearly no.

Even major stars, of the past and today's, have absolutely no control of when or where a premiere is to be, unless that is in their contract ( which it never is ), or if they, themselves have written, produced, directed, and are the DISTRIBUTOR of said film.

Governor Palin agreed to allow Bannon to use one of her books and part of her life as the basis for his film. Once she signed that contract, everything else was taken out of her hands. Did she get paid anything for the use of her book? I would assume so, as that is a logical business assumption for me to make. Elsewise, should he have used her book without her acceptance, that would be theft. Had Bannon only used speeches she had made in public, he wouldn't have needed her permission.

She didn't "cave" and Bannon is neither her "handler" nor "puppeteer". You have yet to make an argument of any kind, have failed miserably to refute the facts, and are completely out of your depth.

>>Do you know anyone in the industry?<<

Trust me, you do NOT want to go there.

I tried to give you a graceful way out.

I suggest you take it.

btw, my statement to 2ndV applies to you (and all my other detractors as well).

If you are doing something in RL that can use some help FRMail me.

I know you think I have PDS (I don’t) and your anger comes out even in the spaces between your words.

But the angriest FReeper is still about more than the average American sees (sadly). I know you are about the USC and Conservative values - we just disagree VEHEMENTLY about how those values can and should be carried forward.

Keep calling me stuff, that is fine and good.

But when 2ndDivisionVet reminded me we have some RL thintgs we have to take care of, it reminded me that we can yell, kick, scream, taunt and be *deeply sarcastic* until the ends of the Earth stop by, but, damnit, whether Gov. Palin runs, doesn’t run, made a mistake, did a great job in her decision, WHATEVER! In the long run we had all better be there for each other.

Opinions are what we think at the moment. Values are what we share.

I am not asking to be let off the hook for my opinions on the subject of this thread. I am just helping you remind me we are pulling on the same rope.

*DING* *DING* OK, break is over!
