Hollywood: Shut Up and Listen! Americans are talking back - and boycotting - loopy Left movies

Actually, the attendence at CSO concerts and Lyric Opera is very high. Few empty seats ever. Like most of the finer things in life poor people are squeezed out. But while a poor student I managed to get gallery tickets on occassion to Orchestra Hall.

While a teenager in SE Arkansas there was a program which sent major orchestras into small towns and I saw the Houston Symphony (approximate equivalent to the Grant Park Orchestra) and loved it. That is the type of program which I believe worthy of subsidy and public support.

There is no reason a ticket to the world's greatest orchestra should not cost at least as much as one to a Bears game. Or that one of the world's greatest musicians should be paid less than a 6 figure income. The highest paid musician in the top orchestras doesn't even make half what the lowest paid players in the NFL do.

Someone gave me the DVD 'Sum of All Fears' for Christmas. It is still in the wrapper.

I can't bring myself to watch another Ben Affleck movie. Aside from his politics, I can't imagine him as Jack Ryan. I'll bet if Tom Clancy had had any say, Affeck would not have gotten the part.

I did see 'Pearl Harbor'. The first 1 1/2 hours is boring. The special effects of the actual attack are excellent.
If they wed the first 3/4 of 'Tora,Tora,Tora' to the 'Pearl Harbor' attack,now that would be a movie.

I actually paid to go see 'Sum of All Fears'. I was very disappointed. There was very little realism to the movie. I love Tom Clancy, but I agree about affleck - so far as I know, that is the only time I have seen him in a movie. I was not impressed.

"I don't wish another attack on America but must admit when I heard that N. Korea has a missile that could reach the West Coast I thought "good - let it take out Hollyweird."

Heheh I have a Liberal friend who I've had heated discussions on the idea of a Missile defense shield, he saying it would be a waste of money, I of course saying we should have one.

He conceded the other day that maybe we do need one now that North Korea can reach our shores. I said well there is no need to hurry the worst it could do was send the Left Coast sliding into the Pacific and of course that is not necessarily a bad thing.

He failed to find any humor at all in my reply.

Thanks for the booknote, JMT. Another great read is, "Hollywood Party" by Billingsley. It details the communist takeover of the Hollywood film industry, which persists to this very day. Anyone who might have doubted this could easily have disabused himself by noting the treatment Elia Kazan recently got when he showed up to accept his belated academy award. Almost 50 years have gone by, and the commies who run things in Hollywood still haven't forgiven Kazan for exposing them. These bastards will never get one red cent from me.

You would be wrong. Clancy said he liked Affleck in the role and thought he did a great job. He thought Harrison Ford was getting too old for the role. (I wasn't a Ford fan, either.) He also said that once he sold the rights to the book, he no longer had a say in the making of the movie and he was ok with that. I am very disappointed in him because I love his books and figured he would be a real patriot Instead he went for the money and let Hollywood do whatever they wanted to with his movie, including changing the Arab terrorists to right wing Nazis.

Hollywood: the anti-American stuff is tacky. Really tacky. Find your inner adult.

OK -- Let's just say for a moment you bunch of pampered, overpaid, unrealistic children had your way and the U.S.A. didn't go into Iraq.

Let's say that you really get your way and we destroy all our nuclear weapons and stick daisies in our gun barrels and sit around with some white wine and cheese and pat ourselves on the back, so proud of what we've done for world peace.

Let's say that we cut the military budget to just enough to keep the National Guard on hand to help out with floods and fires.

Let's say that we close down our military bases all over the world and bring the troops home, increase our foreign aid and drop all the trade sanctions against everybody.

I suppose that in your fantasy world this would create a utopian world where everybody would live in peace.

After all, the great monster, the United States of America, the cause of all the world's trouble would have disbanded it's horrible military and certainly all the other countries of the world would follow suit.

After all, they only arm themselves to defend their countries from the mean old U.S.A.

Why you bunch of pitiful, hypocritical, idiotic, spoiled mugwumps. Get your head out of the sand and smell the Trade Towers burning.

Do you think that a trip to Iraq by Sean Penn did anything but encourage a wanton murderer to think that the people of the U.S.A. didn't have the nerve or the guts to fight him?

Barbra Streisand's fanatical and hateful rankings about George Bush makes about as much sense as Michael Jackson hanging a baby over a railing.

You people need to get out of Hollywood once in a while and get out into the real world. You'd be surprised at the hostility you would find out here.

Stop in at a truck stop and tell an overworked, long distance truck driver that you don't think Saddam Hussein is doing anything wrong.

Tell a farmer with a couple of sons in the military that you think the United States has no right to defend itself.

Go down to Baxley, Georgia and hold an anti-war rally and see what the folks down there think about you.

You people are some of the most disgusting examples of a waste of protoplasm I've ever had the displeasure to hear about.

Sean Penn, you're a traitor to the United States of America. You gave aid and comfort to the enemy. How many American lives will your little, "fact finding trip" to Iraq cost?

You encouraged Saddam to think that we didn't have the stomach for war.

You people protect one of the most evil men on the face of this earth and won't lift a finger to save the life of an unborn baby.

Freedom of choice you say?

Well I'm going to exercise some freedom of choice of my own.

If I see any of your names on a marquee, I'm going to boycott the movie. I will completely stop going to movies if I have to. In most cases it certainly wouldn't be much of a loss.

You scoff at our military whose boots you're not even worthy to shine. They go to battle and risk their lives so ingrates like you can live in luxury.

The day of reckoning is coming when you will be faced with the undeniable truth that the war against Saddam Hussein is the war on terrorism.

America is in imminent danger.

You're either for her or against her.

There is no middle ground.

I think we all know where you stand.

What do you think?

God Bless America!

Looks like Michael Eisner (Disney) was hedging his bets by playing both sides.

[I'm ALL Right!]

I'm printing this and e-mailing this to everyone I know....Also, why stop at movies, when you could boycott TV also. I refuse to watch the Left Wing--even if my husband wants to. That among other programs...

You bet, and look no further than events like the academy awards.. People, including conservatives, from every state are there gawking at the celebrity freaks.
