I want Alec Baldwin to HAVE to play Buckhead...

"This should be aggressively pursued YOUR LITTLE UNGRATEFUL PIG..."

[Doctor Raoul]

I always enjoy that!

[Doctor Raoul]

Mo Dowd doesn’t wear underwear either. That’s cellulite, not a run in her panty hose.

[ErnBatavia]

Fantabulistic, in the words of Mike Tyson.....

[Doctor Raoul]

Which one is the bigger psycho?

[Doctor Raoul]

What will Buckhead’s fictional name be?

Leo Con, as close to NeoCon as they can make it sound.

[Billthedrill]

I can tell you what it will look like. Picture a young Robert Redford as Danny, fighting the Evil Right-Wing KKKorporate Konspiracy in Three Days Of The Condor. Remember that one? When all the world was against him he just sent an envelope to the New York Times and the Eeeevil right-wingers gasped in terror like Dracula at a cross.

This is Hollywood, folks, and they've already cast the villains. It's us.

Lefty movies don’t make money - - let them turn the crap out until they’re broke.

[weegee]

Hollywood won’t go broke. They have 70 years of backstock product that they can always make money off of.

When audiences cease watching Wizard of Oz, King Kong, Gone With The Wind, Casablanca, Marx Bros., Snow White, etc. their unconstitutional perpetual extension of copyright might cease to fund their modern endevors.

If they had to exist funded strictly by the films of the past 28 years, that would be 1980+. And don’t get started on the music industry’s extensive back catalogs....
