I won't be contacting MGM. I say let them spend a bundle making such a movie and then watch them lose that bundle as America boycotts it.

I understand your viewpoint, but I do think it'd be more effective to voice our displeasure NOW so that it hurts Robbins/Sarandon more than it hurts MGM. I mean, if we're successful in getting mgm to drop consideration for this, that will have a direct and substantial effect on robbins/sarandon pocketbook. I think that will let them know in no uncertain terms that there IS a price to pay for their anti-Americanism. A movie boycott, after the effect, dilutes the financial pain because, after all, robbins/sarandon will have already gotten paid for it!

Here's the text of what i submitted to mgm:

"I heard that MGM is considering casting Robbins/Sarandon in a movie about 9/11??? That has to be a sick joke, right? You couldn't POSSIBLY consider such Anti-American leftists for roles in this country's worst tragedy. Everything they've said and done points to their feelings that America is evil, deserves whatever atrocities are committed against us. I don't know ANYONE who would patronize a movie starring these 2--esp a movie about a historic tragedy that has changed our country forever. If this isn't a sick rumor, and you're serious, please reconsider before you suffer a terrible blight on your reputation and a financial disaster."
