Vanity BUMP!
Nobody really cares what Hollywood thinks. They live in their own made up dimension.
British actor Gary Oldman was infuriated by what was done to the movie in the editing room, and wasn't shy about saying so.
BBC: Actor Gary Oldman has claimed his latest movie, The Contender, has been re-edited as anti-Republican propaganda.
Oldman claims the studio behind the political thriller paid for an edit to suit the political persuasions of DreamWorks' owners Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.
In an interview with Premiere magazine, Oldman and his manager Douglas Urbanski said the movie was biased.
Urbanski said the film, which opened in the US on 13 October, was "almost a Goebbels-like piece of propaganda".
He suggested that next month's presidential election was a factor in the changes, which he claims were paid for by DreamWorks and carried out by the film's writer and director Rod Lurie.
Oldman told Premiere that when DreamWorks bought the finished film, Lurie was paid by DreamWorks to edit it so that Republicans in general were portrayed as villains.
The actor and his manager claim the question of who is just and who is not was left ambiguous before the final cut, and that Oldman actually saw his character as "the only true patriot".

I thought this would be a Coulter thread.
Somebody is very, very mixed up here, on a large number of issues. On top of everything else the woman talks about burning people at the stake for selling cigarettes and doesn't mention crack cocaine at all....
I stand for a woman's right to choose.
I stand for the elimination of the death penalty.
I stand for a strong and growing Armed Forces because we must stomp out genocide on this planet, and I believe that that is a cause worth dying for.
Illogical Speech...
To me a woman's right to choose murder is genocide on this planet.
I liked the movie about klinton. 'absolute power' by clint eastwood.
I suffered through this movie once.
Setting aside the fact that it was totally absurd.
it was also essentially a liberals wet dream of what politics is all about.
Evil ignorant re[ublicans principled enlightened democrats..the whole drill.
The movie is laughably absurd.
"And, Mr. Chairman, I stand for the separation of Church and State, and the reason that I stand for that is the same reason that I believe our forefathers did. It is not there to protect religion from the grasp of government but to protect our government from the grasp of religious fanaticism.
"Now, I may be an atheist, but that does not mean I do not go to church. I do go to church. The church I go to is the one that emancipated the slaves and gave women the right to vote. It gave us every freedom that we hold dear. My church is this very Chapel of Democracy that we sit in together, and I do not need God to tell me what are my moral absolutes. I need my heart, my brain, and this church."
Scary bunch these twisted liberals.
