Hollywood is far from broke; they're just not making as much as last year.

That excuse won't work for them. And since they are in the habit of tossing out soldiers' votes, who is surprised that their "we support the troops" rhetoric is just that?

I just hope people bring this up the next time someone uses that new, BS cliche of the anti-war left.

The folks listed in the article are not major celebs, let's be honest. I'm sure our soldiers are grateful to everyone who comes to entertain them, but where are all the stars that top the movie, TV and CD charts? Giving interviews in magazines where they pose for pictures and give their views on foreign policy, not actually DOING anything to support the troops they so "care" about.

Franken is obviously over there trying to find someone to listen to his gawdawful show and so he can say "See? *I* went!" But while I can't stand his "comedy" I give Williams props for going.

Well, true, not exactly going broke, but if they continue to have years like last year it won't be long before they do. I read that they went upside down on several of their "blockbusters". You can't do that very often.

Interesting thing is, some of the smaller movies, with relatively unknown artists, are doing quite well.

I think Hollywood forgot how to make "B" movies. That was a staple of the old Hollywood.
