I no longer support Hollwood.

The hottest property in Hollywood is Jerry Bruckheimer. He's the guy behind all those CSI shows and a bunch of other successful movies such as Pirates of the Carribbean. Bruckheimer voted for Bush and is unafraid to admit he is a Republican.

There are a few Freepers who claim to work in Hollywood and defend it beyond all shame. Although I suspect some of them have socialist leanings, nonetheless, they all seem to be pro-American.

As for the 'crats in ho-wood, their days are numbered. Dreamworks (which is run by 'crats such as Spielberg, Katzenberg, and effin gayboy Geffin) is about to be taken over because it's not doing too well as a business.

So someday, ho-wood will redeem itself in the eyes of real Americans. However, until that day arrives, I'm with you in spirit, because I, too, don't offer much support to Hollywood.

The level of hate displayed by these people is impossible to comprehend

The recent screening was part of an industry retrospective salute to director Don Siegel, who made two pictures with Mr. Reagan. The event at which the jeering took place was sponsored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Cut their grants. Let Hollywood fund them...

Man, do I miss that guy. You're exactly right. It seemed like anything was possible when he was president. BTW-THE KILLERS is a great movie. Reagan and Lee Marvin!

They'll be lucky if that just that happens. The principals in Dreamworks may be facing securities fraud charges.

Ultimately, Hollywood made the Reagan presidency POSSIBLE. They know it, they hate it, and they're never gonna get over it.

Wanna get even with these hooting dumbasses? BUY THIS.

I have a friend who grew up in West Virinia. He said when he was a kid they could only go to the matinee. It seems the men from the hills would use Saturday night to "imbibe" a little homemade liquor. When they were pretty well lubricated, they would get mad at the movie and shoot the bad guys on screen. Those guys were uneducated and drunk to boot. I still respect them more than a group of morons who cheer an actor getting shot on screen just because he was at odds with him politically.

Earlier this week, A&E cable channel showed the events surrounding the failed assassination of President Reagan. It was chilling. What a dynamic figure. What a great man.

Love it!!!

Let's add one more name to that infamous list of corporate crookedness and their crooked leaders: Enron, Worldcom, and now Dreamworks.

Did the audience include Reagan's belly-dancer son?

Yeah, it's that film. RR's character beats up Angie Dickinson. I mean, Angie Dickinson!

When I saw the outpouring of emotion by Americans during Pres. Reagan's funeral I had a good feeling about America. This was the silent majority, protesting in the way we do, showing the haters that we are here.

Do you think a restaurant owner would take down his picture with Frank Sinatra? ;)
