Simon: Blacklisting Myself

Well. That's calling a spade a spade.

not much of an idea of what the book entails from the sparse deatils on amazon. the concept looks interesting though!

I've written off so many hollyweird people, it's hard to watch any tv or a movie these days.
I won't support them.

Call it New Hollywood.

Blacklisting Myself details Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Roger L. Simon's odyssey from financier of the Black Panther Breakfast Program to darling of the political right. In this tale of Hollywood radical chic run amuck, Simon relates his adventures with Richard Pryor, Warren Beatty, Woody Allen and real-life Hollywood KGB officers. Among the topics covered along the way: the new blacklist for conservatives in tinseltown and how new media will destroy Hollywood as we know it.

ACORN office in Vegas raided in voter-fraud probe
Nevada state authorities are raiding the Las Vegas headquarters of an organization that works to get low-income people to vote.

A Nevada secretary of state's office spokesman said Tuesday that investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.

Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh says ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.

The raid comes two months after state and federal authorities formed a task force to pursue election-fraud allegations in Nevada.

Runaway production has been a major problem for Hollywood for about 20 years now. Toronto is know as Hollywood north.

And the big shots in Ca. actually fight to keep it out of other states. In the 90's, Colorado had a film commissioner who was originally from the industry in LA. It wasn't until it was too late that we realized that he was doing his best to scare production away from Colorado. We had a real robust film industry in the Denver Metro area for about 6 years until he ruined it.

And we haven't been able to get it back. These guys play for keeps.

That could be serious. In the "old days" that couldn't happen much since a theatre only ran one or two films in a venue. But with these multiplexes, that's easy to do, and not only will it skew attendence figures, it will cut into the take for the production company.

re: #51 Walter L. Newton

Runaway production has been a major problem for Hollywood for about 20 years now. Toronto is know as Hollywood north.

And the big shots in Ca. actually fight to keep it out of other states. In the 90's, Colorado had a film commissioner who was originally from the industry in LA. It wasn't until it was too late that we realized that he was doing his best to scare production away from Colorado. We had a real robust film industry in the Denver Metro area for about 6 years until he ruined it.

And we haven't been able to get it back. These guys play for keeps.

Massachusetts' problem was the local Teamster boss who considered movie production to be a slush fund for his buddies.
They got rid of him, and more movies are being made here.

I heard there were some jabs at "The One" that were left on the cutting room floor. Hopefully they'll be on the DVD.

re: #121 Walter L. Newton

That could be serious. In the "old days" that couldn't happen much since a theatre only ran one or two films in a venue. But with these multiplexes, that's easy to do, and not only will it skew attendence figures, it will cut into the take for the production company. I know folks who have broken legs for less than that.

Fox and Friends also reported that some theaters were advertising it with an 'R' rating rather than the 'PG13' it is rated.

ACORN office in Vegas raided in voter-fraud probe
Nevada state authorities are raiding the Las Vegas headquarters of an organization that works to get low-income people to vote.

A Nevada secretary of state's office spokesman said Tuesday that investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.

Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh says ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.

The raid comes two months after state and federal authorities formed a task force to pursue election-fraud allegations in Nevada.

Every ACORN office in the country should be raided and community agitators imprisoned.

David Zucker is getting cheated at the box office by dishonest theater owners / staff. An American Carol is not being advertised on the marquee, the film is not being listed at the ticket booth, and is being omitted on the theater voice recordings. Tickets are sold for a different movie and patrons are told it was just an "error".

Leftwing conspiracy?

An American Carol / Fraud

We have had heard from numerous people across the country that there has been some ticket fraud when buying a ticket for An American Carol this past weekend.
Please check your ticket. If you were in fact one of those people that were "mistakenly" sold a ticket for another movie please fill out the form below. Hold on to your ticket so we can have proof.

If you have noticed other irregularities with the theatres in your area please let us know in the comment section below. For instance, Rated R film rating (when in fact we are rated PG-13), posters not being up, not being listed on the marquee, image or focus problems, sound issues, etc.

Please email us a picture of your ticket stub to fraud@americancarol.com

We are investigating.

Help the filmmakers out - go see it! Check your ticket stub to insure it says "An American Carol" so they get credit.

re: #177 Walter L. Newton

Mmm, TMI, I was just making a joke. But I hope you're recovering well.

"Obama began seeking the New Party endorsement in 1995. He had been running in a four way primary against his former boss, Senator Alice Palmer, herself a far left radical, and two other individuals. But an election law quirk gave Obama the upper hand. In order to get on the ballot, candidates had to collect signatures of voters. Printed names were not allowed. Obama challenged the petitions of his rivals and was able to get every one of them thrown off the ballot. By the time the ballot was drawn up for the 1996 election, Obama’s was the only name in the race.

Nonetheless, Obama still coveted the New Party endorsement. The New Party required candidates who received the endorsement sign a pledge of support for the party. Obama did not need to support a party that was, in effect, a front group for communists; yet he still chose to. The July issue of the New Ground noted that 15% of the New Party consisted of Democratic Socialists of America members and a good number of Committee of Correspondence members."

What is wrong with the air in Atlanta?

I knew before I clicked it was going to be Annette Kesting. She is a county commissioner in my county (thankfully not my district). I have met her and I must tell you, the woman is dumb as a stump. This tidbit at the end of the article gives you a flavor of her ways:

Her term as commissioner has been marked by unflattering financial disclosures and personal blunders. She was delinquent in paying taxes to the county in 2007 for properties she owned in Powder Springs, and was also written up for code violations on several of her properties.

Then, in February, Kesting appeared before a Marietta church and gave an inflammatory speech in which she criticized some workers at the county government headquarters. The rambling, racially tinged diatribe troubled some members at the Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church, which had invited Kesting to speak at its Black History Celebration.

At a press conference several days later, Kesting blamed dirty politics and the news media for the uproar. She called it part of a conspiracy to drive her out of office.

I wouldn't go if not so!

There may be more than first meets the eye. I believe "No Country For Old Men" was really about Islamic Terror, Anton Chigurh being its personification.

Just one example: Chigurh takes off his shoes, commits a "Jihad", then takes off his socks, stands with palms up and feet aligned, and bows down in the Islamic prayer position (ostensibly looking under the bed for money), in front of an upturned lamp. There are literally hundreds of references to Islamic Terror throughout, including the coin dated 1958, which is now regarded by many as Osama Bin Laden's birthyear (Obama Bin Biden). The portrait Chigurh paints is one of pure uncompromising evil, which of course is what Islamic Terror is.

So its out there, you just have to look.
