Polar Express is financed by Steve Bing. He invested about 80 mil on it. So far, the movie has made 53 mil in its 13th day. His other investment: Kerry. Bing gave about 15 mil.

Gosh, I am hoping and praying (snicker) that Bing-a-ling did not engage in icky Enron-style accounting procedures to hedge his huge losses on Polar Express, and his Kerry investment debacle, and maybe try to fool the IRS, the SEC, and the FEC.........stuff like that.

That's standard operating procedure in Follywood.....cooking the books. And it's time someone did something about it.

There's been numerous instances of Hollyweirdos book-cooking.....in one notorious case actor Robert Wagner was forced to sue Aaron Spelling (he of mega-hit fame) b/c Spelling cheated Wagner out of profits from an investment in a Spelling production. Many do not sue, fearing bad PR, loss of corner tables at Le Dome, and no invitations to A-list parties.

Same goes for Michael Moore. F/911 was supposed to be a big hit. But I am skeptical. Every store I shop for DVD's, I see piles of F/911 stacked up. Nobody's buying the trash. I do hope and pray Moore did not engage in sloppy bookeeping to show profits for 9/11 where none existed (smirk).

Those who wanted to see this trash had watched. The rest, well, they're too smart to spend money on it.
