i hope this boycott works.

i'd love to see mike moore's career go down in flames.

he does nothing but talk trash. he probably doesn't even believe it himself.

phil hendrie said on the radio recently that moore's book STUPID WHITE MEN was authored by a female ghost writer!!!!!

that's right, moore's a phony, so put that in your pipe and smoke it, you fat pussy boy, you're goin' down!

Um, you're aware that these talks were done while Mel was in vacation in Italy?

I suspected that was the case. I think that his dad is considered something of a conspiracy fan.

Yeah, too bad they didn't identify the poster...it might entice more people to see: There is life beyond liberalism! I'm a living, breathing example!

They didn't bother to note that the original poster of the thread insisted the callers and writers be calm, polite, and not ranting, raving behemoths.

You know, this is real sad. This is not even "Uncle Walt's" Walt Disney Co. anymore! He would've just as well had the plug pulled on his own company, if he could; rather than have this stuff going on!

I remember Annette Funicello saying something once in an interview. She said that when she started working in those teen beach movies; that WD approached her about wearing a bikini in those movies. He asked her very politely if she would not wear a bikini because of the image it gave the company.

He was really concerned that the company keep it's 'family' image.(no doubt worried about her too!)She honored him so much, that she was happy to agree with him, and didn't wear one. They've gone so far from that now, as to not seem like the same company anymore! Sure, they still have some nice films at times. But those seem almost a sideline now.

Completely agree with the CFR reference. I've said it countless times before that Hollywood will become the mouthpiece for the DNC because they do not fall under the rules of CFR. They will use every opportunity to saturate the media- broadcast and otherwise, to slander, and to unfairly influence public opinion.

This is the flaw (among other things) with CFR. It creates a whole different set of problems with limiting speech. The entire thing needs to be shot down by the SCOTUS.

notice how the article tries to marginaliza and make extremist those who disagree with moore. "Bush Fans" they are trying to cover for moore. This article seems more in place in a pre-FNC world.

They even botched Hercules. Suddenly, he was NOT the product of an illigitimate affair. Life in the PC lane.

Give us some time, you'll know who we are. :)

They already do. 'Whoever they are" is a classic psychological statement; you don't say it to "prove" you haven't heard of the other party unless you know precisely who they are and are desperate to dismiss them in your own mind.

Universal Studios ROCKS and will see our greenbacks instead of the Mouse.

BAD NEWS- Universal Studios is French owned- Vivendi-Universal headquartered in Paris. Go to the Cape and see the space-related museums or to a Six Flags theme park.

Disney is not stupid, if this news goes wide enough-I believe they will back down in a hurry..

No they won't. Harvey Weinstein is a) The biggest a--hole in Hollywood (everyone agrees on this, even people in Hollywood), b) argubly the most powerful movie boss in Hollywood (If Eisner or someone tried to overrule him, he'd jump to another studio and make it his life's work to destroy Miramax), and c) One of the angriest liberal Democrats in the entire country. He is absolutely SALIVATING at the prospect of producing this movie and releasing it at the perfectly-timed moment to do the most damage to Bush's 2004 reelection prospects.

In his own mind anyway. As I was just saying on another thread, this movie, if it gets made and released as a Bush-hate polemic just before the election - ESPECIALLY if that new CFR law is still around banning "issue ads" - then it will blow up in the Democrats's faces just like the Wellstone rally did. It will energize the GOP base like the Wellstone rally and Florida 2000 combined, and 2002 proved that the "mainstream" media don't control the information flow any more. We will find every lie, and ensure that every citizen knows about every lie, and that Disney is out to get Bush. And we will win so big the RATS will end up pining for the days when they at least got as many votes as Walter Mondale.
