This one REALLY deserves to bomb at the box office...it's chock full of anti-American celebs, a who's-who of pompous, Hollyweird left-wingers. Do they deserve YOUR money?

Usually they just earn it with a good performance. These guys get paid whether I go or not, unless they put up the money to make the movie -- not likely with this all-star caste.

I need ketchup. There are certain foods that are unedible without it. No way I can boycott Heinz. I liked "Oceans Eleven". So yeah I'm going to see this one on DVD when it comes out.

I guess the first movie did ok since they're making a sequel, although how they keep the books in Hollywood is one of the great mysteries of life.

I'm not usually into boycotts, but that's only partly correct. Yes, they have already been paid a hugh amount, but they also get percentages. Besides that, if they continue to have bombs or movies that don't reach their potential, they will eventually work less and less or at least lose bargaining power on the next one.

I was with my Dem sisters this weekend and they were amazed that I hadn't been to the movies in ages. Plain and simple - I stay home and I read. There is nothing out there that appeals to me - particularly after seeing what these idiots have to say about politics. Give me 3 or 4 books a week and I'm much happier.

I have family members who are Democrats, and aren't always the most rational people all of the time. I don't boycott their family gatherings.

If you can look beyond politics when it really doesn't matter/isn't relevant, you'll have a much happier life.

Not that it isn't a free country - you're certainly welcome to spend/not spend your money as you see fit.

But if you're being sincere about it, I hope you're willing to turn your back on 99 percent of the entertainment industry. That sounds like loads of fun, eh?

Just seems like an incredible waste of energy, to me.

The Pacific Ocean is far more interesting than Ocean's Twelve.

I watched the real Ocean's 11 with the real performers. Cooney, Pitt, Roberts, Damon and the lot's attempt at recapturing their magic fell far short.

I tried to watch the lame remake on HBO. I was instantly bored and switched channels within 10 minutes.

In the right movie, I'll watch these folks. That one was just bad.

What Bush need to do is just give them (Kalipornia elites) back Clintons tax increase, and see if they claim discrimination.

Quite true. However, I won't see it for one reason: George Clooney is NOT Frank Sinatra. And he never will be.

Your wish is my command. Consider it zapped. BTW: They must be figuring on this because they are coming here to Japan in Japan to fully promote themselves.

My wife wanted to go see this. I told her she could go alone, as I refuse to patronize those who oppose our president and troops' efforts.

She stuck out her lower lip and I laughed.

"It's only a movie", she pouted. I replied, "Yeah, well it's ONLY our country"! No movie money from this household, pouty face or not! She will get over it...

Why does any educated person waste time going to ANY movie?

Live life directly and forget the products of Hollyweird degenerates.......

OK, a select few movies like "The Passion" might get a pass once in awhile....But some folks go weekly to see some sick, stupid flick...Its vicarious living. Might as well be a zombie.

Like the rest of new releases, they don't git diddly-squat. I wait for DVD and give $2.99/3 nights to Lefty-owned rental chains or just wait for broadcast release.

they usually get a % of the box office...plus, why reward their anti-American behavior?

Of course, that's your choice to make...

Many people aren't aware of these celebs' stance against our country, thus our efforts to inform.

Scooby-Doo 2? LOL

Hollywood has lost its creativity...how many tv shows are becoming movies? Did they really need to become movies?
