Producing a Hollywood flop
The Washington Times ^ | 11/04/04

Posted on 11/08/2004 11:24:37 PM PST by Nascardude

Sherry Lansing, the soon-to-be-retired Paramount studio honcho and friend of Sen. John Kerry, is said to be "depressed." Actress Sharon Stone, who stumped for Mr. Kerry in Wisconsin, reportedly was "traveling" yesterday. It wasn't clear whether the "Basic Instinct" star had fled the country, as she had hinted that she might do if the Democratic nominee lost. There were tears and tribulations. Long sighs and short tempers. Shock and bawl. For a rich and powerful demographic used to getting its way, Hollywood was downbeat yesterday as President Bush — more heinous than a mid-February release date to so many celebrities and other bold-faced names — made his gracious victory speech. Not only entertainers were said to be dispirited. The literary crowd in New York was crying into its Evian. "Sure, I feel terrible," said New Yorker editor David Remnick, whose published endorsement of Mr. Kerry was a first for the magazine. "There are a lot of long faces today." And "Fahrenheit 9/11" propagandist Michael Moore's Web site actually went silent. That's the same Mr. Moore who only a couple of weeks ago had paused in his anti-Bush road trip to opine: "I have a feeling that slackers are going to rise up in this election. The slacker motto is: Sleep till noon, drink beer, vote Kerry." George Soros, the Hungarian-born billionaire who went on his own 12-city speaking tour and spent an estimated $17 million on ads and get-out-the-vote drives to defeat the president, posted a message on his Web site describing himself as "distressed." "I'll be back," he wrote.

If these wacko Hollywood nut jobs want to leave the US, then by all means. I'll be more than happy to ship Whoppi Goldberg, Sharron Stone, Bruce Springsteen, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin and anybody else out of here. Trust me, I won't miss them. We got plenty of Republican Celebrities to keep me goin to movies and concerts.

The most devastating thing we could possibly say to any of these ego-drunk talentless nitwits: "Nobody cares what you think."

People are tiring of the Hollywood garbage. A long term boycott of any movie starring a liberal maniac would eventually put a dent on their career.

What says it all about their extreme reaction is that one sentence...of their dreaming of state dinners at the White House and policy consultations at the highest level. Clinton gave them that and they never got over it. It's time they return to their usual position, entertaining us but regarded as over-paid jokes with no morals. That is one group that I am glad to see in mourning. The only one I would "gloat" over.

Even if some of these celebs moved, they'd still be hypocrites unless they're willing to revoke their citizenship and stop working for American film studios. Johhny Depp has lived in France for awhile, but it's an empty gesture since he still depends on Americans for a majority of his earnings. It's not a real sacrifice if you can hop on luxury flight any time you want on whim. Heck, if I had as much money as them, I'd be a "world citizen" with no fixed address...

No, I don't think you will be back George. Have a nice life somewhere else.
