Yea, this'll be a big hit. It'll probably turn up on SHOWTIME or CBS.

A lot of people who support Clarke don't know how to read....

Too bad Ted Knight is dead. He woulda made a great Dick Clarke.

The only way to not get this movie made is to blow up some things, threaten violent attacks, and engage in general terroristic activities. This way the left will cave and work hard to appease us, Although they might have the un issue a proclomation first :)

"You could shoot the first 56 pages and have an extraordinary half of a movie, then it goes on to more enthralling stuff," Calley told the Times. "If we were able to do `All the President's Men' with people meeting in garages and whispering in parks, then certainly with someone sitting at a table in the White House we could have a remarkable event."

Why ami I reminded of the photographer/journalist (Dennis Hopper) in Colonel Kurtz's camp at the end of Apocalypse Now?

This movie will hopefully be met with the same outrage the hatchet job on the Reagans was.

As incensed as I was about the distortion and hit piece on Reagan that they pretended was a movie, I didn't get overly active about it. I figured, that is just what libs do. Most American's loved Ronnie, so I wasn't concerned.

This is different folks. The lies from Clark are incredibly eggregious. They aren't just a different perspective, or a machiavellian presentation of events. They are in many ways 180 degrees the opposite of truth. Sheer evil in my opinion.

The Lefties have to realize that they cannot get away with changing history and presenting it as entertainment, knowing full-well that most sheep will walk away believing the lies are fact.

I've never been an activist, other than to drop money on FR or a few politician's (both Bush and Lazio - would have Reagan if old enough to have money).

I'm fed up though. I hate the lying and distortion that the Leftists use to support their agenda, almost more than the agenda itself! I'm sick of it. It has got to be stopped!

Please, more activist Freepers, let me know what I can do. Boycott, write Sony Executives, help with a protest, help fund a counter-movie (maybe Mel would pitch in heh heh). Anything - What, in the excellent FREEPER opinions here, is the best thing I / we can do to suppress the evil lies and get the truth out, other than remain silent?

I'd like to nominate Chris Matthews for the part of Clark.
He wouldn't even need makeup.

Happy Easter, Doug!

My crystal ball says that Richard Gere's agent is begging Sony for his client to be Richard Clark!

Lest the "gun is jumped" maybe Sony snarfed up the rights to prevent it's showing.

It's a Long shot scenario I know.

From today's NY Times Book Review of the Clarke book:
The first -- and by far the best -- chapter is a heart-stopping account of the turmoil inside the White House on the morning of Sept. 11, when Washington suddenly came blinking into a bloody new world. I hope Clarke has sold the rights to Hollywood, at least for his opening chapter, because I would pay to see this movie. You can guess who gets to play Jack Ryan in his retelling of that historic morning.

This is no different than the fiction that the alphabet news-hacks and newspapers create everyday to put forth their skiffy liberal message.

MESSAGE TO SONY: be careful what you wish for. Disney used to be a corporate heavy-hitter, now they're a has-been that Comcast is looking to purchase for pennies on the dollar. Don't think it can't happen to you.

Only a matter of time alright.
Right in time for the election, no doubt.
