The Entertainment Industry ready, willing and able to alienate 50% of the American people yet again! This Industry deserves the low turnout they are getting at most movies these days. They’re despicable!

The Kill Point takes off on this same theme, with Iraq war vets robbing a bank, on USA Network.

After all, honorable service is not politically correct.

They’ll all be box-office flops, just like “Jarhead.”

Give them a week in the theater before they end up on DVD or HBO.

Perfect time to make another blockbuster spoof like “Hot Shots” where an islamic army takes over hollywood - and the conservatives and US military help them...

“Of course, these movies aren’t politically motivated at all:”

And Jane Fonda went over to Vietnam to support democracy and just happened to visit while the commies were in charge(sarc).

Good—maybe they will lose their shirts on each and every one of them! Hollywood is so where it’s NOT!

Gee, no movie planned for that great Iraq war hero, Scott Thomas Beauchamp? (Yes, that was sarcasm.)

Whatever happened to the planned movie based on the book "No True Glory", Bing West's account of the Battle for Fallujah?

By the way, have any Iraq knowledgeable FReepers read this book, and hold an opinion on it?

Nam Vet here. Quit going to the movies around ‘68. Life is so good without Hollywood.

I hate to admit this, but we tune into The Lifetime Channel to watch reruns of “Frasier”. The promos for their shows are enough to make you barf. One I’ve wondered about, but refuse to tune in, is “Army Wives” - any word on what the bent is on this one?

“They’ll all be box-office flops”

By definition.

The lefties in hollywood would rather lose money pushing their agenda than make money producing good storying-telling films.

I wonder if the H’Wood lefties will ever make a movie out of the books of pro-American & pro-military authors like Vince Flynn, or this new novel I just finished: Anonymous Sedition.
—Likely not.

Sony Pictures is developing a film based on the story of Richard A. Clarke, the former national security official and Bush administration critic.

Say what? Who at Sony thinks anyone wants to see a movie about Dick Clarke? I hope they budget 100 million dollars.
