TICKING TOM BOMB
N Y POST ^ | November 2, 2007 | PETER LAURIA

The initial negative reception to "Lions for Lambs" - the first movie to come out under Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner's resurrected United Artists label - could harm parent studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's own attempts to raise money for film productions.

I hope this movie bombs like the rest of Hollywoods anti-troop, anti- american films. Plus I refuse to support any film, actor, producer, director who bash our country as Redford did recently while overseas. Stay away.

Those aren`t movies,

they are Leni Riefenstahl

propaganda reels of indoctrination.

Yep, agree with you. I hope the Cruise, Redford, and Streep movie bombs big time! Anti-American propaganda. This isn’t the first time for Cruise (Born on the 4th of July). More Hollywood rubish.

At least Riefenstahl knew how to make her propaganda visually stunning.

Agreed,

Leni had a director`s eye for certain. These hollywood

pukes do not, their ugly propaganda matches their ugly

visuals.

Every actor wants to direct, every singer wants to act, every porn star wants to be in legit movies. Redford can get all the awards possible from the talking-heads in Hollywood, but his movies are all boring failures. Under-educated and vasty overpaid actors who are used to public adulation (from some anyway) also have a very inflated view of their own skills. No need to dis films like this, they will fail miserably on their own.

It will bomb. Nobody but the fringers will go to see a movie that portrays America as being a terrible nation.

See George ‘still in the closet’ Clooney and ‘Three Kings’.

I assume you mean "take as an example" rather than "actually watch the thing"?

I would like to see it just for my own curiosity as to how bad it trashes America.

If I did see it I would go to a big multiplex and buy a ticket for the show next door though, no way would I give my money to those people.

That will be true in the US, but these days Hollywood is counting on overseas sales, and most likely, the Euro-weenies and all of the other assorted anti-American regions of the world will eat this stuff up.

No denying it, hence Redford choosing to disrespect the country that MADE HIM overseas last week on the hype tour for the movie’s release.
