These types only care about their types- winning awards they've presented themselves. Besides, we're all too stupid to understand their creative genius anyway.

Show business kids making movies 'bout them selves,

You know they don't give a f*#! about anybody else.

  They make the kind of movies they want to make; the kind that will impress their left-wing society.

  It's all about them, and patting each other on the back with awards.

Amen to that.  They care more about Cannes than Kansas.  They care more about the Golden Globes than Green Bay.  They care more about their street cred in Paris, France than in Paris, Texas.

It was marginal at best.

I did not care about he characters, nor were they believable.

Thanx for the reminder. I updated the blog to reflect the "Stop Loss" bomb.

No. But they have the most creative accountants in this corner of the universe. These corporations all have numerous subsidaries. They shave income off other businesses, invest them in movies, and writing the whole thing off in taxes. And even when the movie bombs at the box-office, it doesn't matter. The movie will show up as DVDs, as well as endless runs on cable or on-demand, and are big sellers overseas where audiences loves anti-American movies.

Remember, the movie business is based on make-believe. They do their accounting that way as well.

Naw, FDR is a saint, and Bush is evil.....right.....

BD, part of teh problem is that in WWII teh USA was affected directly and peopel could actually see the problem.  In the modern day wars the USA is not affected directly and forthright and the MSM and leftists in this country make sure the people don't understand the truth and implications to their well being.

But, we di have a President who understood the threat and dealt with it.  Unfortunately he did not understnad teh need for desimination of information.  He should have opened the information office in spite of teh MSM objections.  If he had done so then perhaps things would have been different.

In fact the GOP needs to understand teh MSM is not their freind and in fact no better than Tokyo Rose.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

,generally speaking, employs hundreds of people so even if the movie bombs it becomes a sort of "make work" project for the industry. People have jobs, get paid, money flows and the Studios take losses, or other creative accounting techniques. The problem is that now the studios are out of the closet and are actively proseletyzing left wing ideas (but I have seen movies in the 1930's do that too so it isn't a recent phenomenon). I believe that most movies made in the last 30 to 40 years have this liberal streak in them but is usually subdued or implied. Since being at NewsBusters my bias attenae are more attuned to the lib BS and I detect it with more frequency than even I would like in almost every movie.

Matt Damon thinks James Bond is repulsive. The Bourne Identity actor, who plays CIA agent Jason Bourne in the Bourne franchise, has lashed out at Ian Fleming’s famous British spy, currently portrayed by Daniel Craig.

He said: “He’s repulsive. Bond is an imperialist, misogynist, sociopath who goes around bedding women and swilling martinis and killing people.

     Uh, what does Jason Bourne do?  Oh yeah.  KILL PEOPLE!!!

I tell ya what, all a group of conservatives have to do to make a gazillion dollars is make a Mitch Rapp movie, what's the hold-up?

I'm glad you asked!

On July 21, 2005 Vince Flynn was on Laura Ingraham's radio show, and this is what he said the holdup is, as exclusively reported on MY BLOG: 

 A bestselling author said in an interview on the July 21, 2005 edition of the Laura Ingraham radio show that major motion picture studios have in the past rejected his popular novels for development into films because of studio executives’ leftward leanings and because they are frightened of violent reaction from Muslims. 

 Suspense novelist Vince Flynn (Memorial Day, Executive Power, Term Limits, and the upcoming Consent to Kill), in response to a listener’s question of when one of his books would be made into a motion picture, said there has been a lot of interest in using some of his novels for a Hollywood picture, but “when Memorial Day came out, [my agent and I] gave it to one of the higher-up people at Paramount, and her response [was to] call my agent and said ‘I hated it. It was more Bush than Bush!’” 

A resident of Minnesota's Twin Cities region who is often compared with megaselling author Tom Clancy, Flynn laughed with Ingraham as he recalled the conversation with his agent, saying “I said, ‘What does that [mean]? Can’t we all agree that terrorists trying to set off a nuclear bomb in Washington, D.C. is a bad thing? Can’t we all get on the same page?”

He continued, saying regarding a previous book that was considered for development: “[In] Executive Power, I have Arab terrorists in the book, of course, because, you know, there aren’t any Scandinavian terrorists right now…and we got together with one of the studios, and they said, ‘How ‘bout we take the Arab terrorists and turn them into Filipino terrorists?’ So I said, let me get this straight – It’s OK to offend the Filipinos, but we don’t want to offend the Arabs?”

Flynn agreed with Ingraham that political correctness and not wanting to appear too “Bush” was a factor in his heretofore silver screen shutout, but that there is another element to a reluctance to embrace stories that are proven commodities: “Everybody out there, they are deathly afraid to do a movie about Arab terrorists…a lot of them are honestly afraid that they will be assassinated [in an incident] like the Van Gogh deal.” This was a reference to the killing of Theo Van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker and descendant of legendary painter Vincent Van Gogh, who was shot and stabbed to death in broad daylight by Mohammed Bouyeri, a radical Muslim Dutch-Moroccan. Theo Van Gogh had run afoul of Islamists when he created a short film about the abuse that Muslim wives sometimes suffer. Bouyeri pleaded guilty to murder charges July 12, but refused to apologize for the act, which he said was done “purely in the name of my religion."

(snip) 

 Flynn assured Ingraham and his fans that he would never allow filmmakers to change the nationality of the terrorists in his novels (Clancy has been widely criticized for allowing the ethnicity of Islamist terrorists in The Sum of All Fears to be changed to Neo-Nazis for its big-screen treatment). 

Mind you, Paramount, whose "higher-up" rejected Flynn's "more Bush than Bush" book, was the studio that released Fahrenheit 9/11 and Stop-Loss, among others.  And again, this is my original reporting from the podcast of the July 21, 2005 edition of the Laura Ingraham Show.

"Well, I've got nothing against the press...they wouldn't print it if it wasn't true..." -- Joe Jackson, "Sunday Papers"

We could make the movie but several things would be required:First, you would have to make it in a right-to-work state because the organized labor racketeers; oops, I mean labor unions, would never stand for something that deviated so far from their world view and would sabotage the production. Second, the producers, director and actors could never go back to California or New York.  There are simply movies whose message is too opposite to Hollywood to be tolerated.  Mad Max no problem, Lethal Weapon no problem, but "Passion of the Christ" makes $600 million dollars, huge problem! Third, there will be an effort to buy out the franchise, if nothing else to buy the movie rights so that the movie never gets made.  Legally you would be very surprised who can sell the movie rights to a property at least to the point where a Studio has standing in court to stop a production.

Heck what are they going to do at this years Oscars without President Bush in office?
