I thought Alec was living in France...

This made me chuckle this morning...

[God luvs America]

I cincur your thoughts...didn't this hypocrite say he'd leave the country if GWB became President? Funny, he's hosting Saturday night live this weekend, it must be live from Montreal!

So many ironies. A movie about two great lawyers - Webster and the Devil, being fought over by lawyers.

"The movie is never going to be released. It taught me a lesson."

Maybe I'm missing something but I would think that WHOEVER paid for this movie would want at least SOME of their money back. The only way to do that is to release it-unless it's a real dog that wouldn't make any money if it was release. It may be that Alex "lesson" is never to direct another movie.

Jennifer Love Hewitt as the Devil.

If Baldwin can get the financing together, I hope he makes a film of Milton's "Paradise Lost". Perhaps he can get Britney Spears to portray Lucifer. "Like, Oh My God! Is this a sacred act? I'm sure!"

[AnAmericanMother]

Ah, just go see the original. Baldwin messes with the plot to the point that it's unrecognizable (instead of a New Hampshire skinflint farmer, the Jabez Stone character is an up-and-coming modern New York writer. Who the heck needs another story like that?)

Won an Academy Award for best score - some pretty good actors in it too. I saw it years ago. Or, better yet, go read the original.

The Devil and Dan'l Webster

Vincent Benet was sometimes a little over-the-top, but a fine writer and well worth reading. His John Brown's Body is beautiful, and that's an unreconstructed Confederate talking about a Yankee, and a New England Yankee at that.

"Pickett came
And the South came
And the end comes,
And the grass comes
And the wind blows
On the bronze book
On the bronze men
On the grown grass,
And the wind says
'Long ago
Long
Ago'"

[joesnuffy]

Guess Baldwin should made his movie in France...they would be happy to protect him from Uncle Sam..
Ha Ha Ha ...Schmuck!

[ampat]

So much for creativity from the man who should be living in france.

[Sloth]

If we were living in another country, we would go down to Hollywood and stone Alec Baldwin to death. Then we would go to his house and we'd kill his family, kill his children.

It's been said that the only remake of a film that turned out better than the original was "The Maltese Falcon". It was first produced around 1931 and starred Bebe Daniels with Ricardo Cortes as Sam Spade. I watched it last night on TMC and it really stunk.

The "Falcon" was tried again later in the thirties, I believe, but it wasn't till the early forties that a re-make hit the jackpot. It starred Humphrey Bogart as Spade, plus Mary Astor and a terrific cast of supporting character actors.

I could never understand the drawing power of the "Falcon" story-wise. Created by the notorious commie-symp, Dashiel Hammett, the story line is muddled, confusing and basically uninteresting. It certainly must have been the enormous drawing-power of Bogart and the skill and talents of the remarkable supporting cast which carried the day in the third film.

The statistical odds dictate that the remake of "The Devil and Daniel Webster" would probably be doomed, especially with that brilliant genius, Baldwin, directing it.

Baldwin is an idiot, but one of my favorite scenes of all time is where he gives his speech to the loser salesman in Glengarry Glen Ross. A classic scene if you haven't seen it.

[DustyMoment]

I feel sooooooooo bad for Alec . . . . . . NOT!!!

[smith288]

I figured Jennifer Love Hewitt had more options in her career than working witht his nincompoop hypocrite.

[freeangel]

You know, Alec--this probably wouldn't have happened if you would have made good on your "promise" to leave the U.S. Hurry up and pack your bags.

Schadenfreude

[JudyB1938]

There are some who think "Don't mess with Texas" is a cute expression. There are others who are finding out the strength behind that statement, which our President has carried to the highest level and the highest office. He has warned both foreign and domestic sources: DON'T MESS WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.

That's why I firmly believe President Bush is behind a lot of the exposures and convictions of those who have betrayed and/or attacked the American people. Not surprisingly, they are the ones who were allowed to flourish under the clinton administration.

Some have killed our citizens; others have thieved our nation. The thieves created a false conception of a flourishing economy with their lies and "creative accounting" (cooked books). That type of individual is as destructive as any terrorist in the harm they do.

It's payback time. Take that, all of you Baldwins and terrorists of the world.
