Didn't MGM do a bunch of pro-US military films? I mean if they can be pro-US Military, even if it was only briefly back in the 1940s, then they deserve it if their current war films tank and they go pffft... especially if they suck and root for the other side... even if only in a thinly veiled manner of being against their own side during the war... IMO hollywood has stepped over the bounds into treason with the current crop of anti-US/anti-Bush movies that essentially try to undercut the US war effort. Let the writers empty desks be the first step towards flushing the left from the left coast.

Review on the fringe. Hollykost

What the world really needs is, say, a documentary about an anti-semitic, senile old peanut farmer.

Redford really thinks that he is a very deep social critic. He is always sayin things like "Beware" about some of us lesser human beings attitudes. You know, llike support the troops.

Strange Saudi story of the day...

Saudi bride in death row arranged marriage

RIYADH, November 2 (RIA Novosti) - Prisoners in Taif, a city in southwest Saudi Arabia, celebrated the wedding of a 16-year-old to an inmate due to be publicly beheaded for murder.

The Saudi Gazette said the bride's father, also on death row, had arranged the marriage on Thursday.

The wedding celebrations included a small dinner party for relatives and friends and a private meeting for the couple in an apartment organized by the jail administrators.

When asked about the reasons for the marriage, the groom said there was still a chance his sentence would be cut. Under the country's laws, capital punishment can be reduced if the murdered victim's family agree and are compensated.

Even if the execution goes ahead the bride will receive $26,000, as part of her dowry. But, the girl said she was happy with the marriage and was looking forward to giving birth.

Public executions are common in Saudi Arabia, which has some of the strictest laws in the Islamic world for murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery. According to estimates, around 130 people have been publicly beheaded in the country so far this year.

I'm just loving one glorious little tidbit that's been in all the promos for the movie. Have you seen it yet?
Senator Irving (Cruise) tells Janine Roth (Meryl Streep) that the war on terror must go on as long as it takes and she retorts "so says the man in the air conditioned office."
? ? ? ?
Yeah, that's the punch line.
C'mon! It's supposed to be profound. Ironic.
Get it?
The people doing their jobs back in an "air conditioned office" aren't really part of it! They're not putting themselves on the line. They're... ummm... chickenhawks! Yeah!
Of course I seem to recall there were just under 3000 people comfortably esconced in "air conditioned offices" on Sept 11th.
The anti-American nutjobs either don't understand or refuse to acknowledge that there is no "in the rear," or "out of bounds" in this war.
The fact that this is the line they've chosen as the "big moment" in the promo speaks volumes.
If I watch this movie at all, it will be on a bootleg copy.
...or maybe by downloading it via Gnutella. Perhaps I'll buy a ticket to "Fred Claus" then sneak into the adjacent theatre.
Yeah, I'm confident it will bomb. Even the half-dozen Oscars the fifth columnists give it next spring won't save it.

Watergate Reporter Bernstein: Journalistic Culture Veering From Reality, Context

"The problems we have in news and journalism are about us not doing our job well enough," Bernstein said. "The ideal of providing the best available version of the truth is being affected by the dominance of a journalistic culture that has less and less to do with reality and context."

Bernstein, 63, said he believes an "idiot culture" is partly to blame for the dysfunction of political life in the United States.

"You can't separate the appetites and demands of the people themselves and what they are given," he said. "The blame simply can't all be put at the feet of those who present news."

U.S. forces kill 10 al Qaeda suspects near Baghdad

U.S. airstrikes killed 10 insurgents, two of them wearing explosive vests, in a raid southeast of Baghdad on Friday targeting a suspected militant leader with ties to al Qaeda, the U.S. military said.

American ground troops hunting the militant, described as a "foreign terrorist facilitator", were fired at as they approached a building in Salman Pak, 45 km (25 miles) southeast of Baghdad, a U.S. military statement said.

"Coalition forces engaged the terrorists and called for supporting aircraft to help suppress the enemy fire," the statement said. "When the enemy fire ceased, coalition forces found that 10 terrorists had been killed. Two of the terrorists were armed with suicide vests."

The U.S. military said an arms cache was found nearby with more suicide vests, heavy machineguns and anti-aircraft weapons.

I hope this tanks like all the other bull shit anti-American movies.

I love it when they spend millions on production and even plug it with Emmy's or other self pats on the back, and yet no one but Kossacks will pay to watch it.

You could offer to PAY me to watch it, and I'd refuse.

In todays Stupid News from our friends in Saudi Arabia

MOSCOW, Nov 1 (KUNA) -- Russian Nuclear Power Agency Head Sergei Kiriyenko Friday called on Iran to join a Russian-based international uranium enrichment center, which should be established in countries in full possession of enrichment technologies.
Kiriyenko was referring to a Saudi proposal to establish a uranium enrichment center in a neutral country to provide uranium for nuclear reactors, including the ones in Iran. The Saudi proposal aimed at, among other things, easing concerns of the international community about the controversial Iranian nuclear program.

Rendition - $7,821,105 gross ticket sales. Studios make an average of 55% of that, that means under $4Mil. No information on how much they spent making the movie, but with a cast like Cruise, Redford and Streep, the 4 million left isn't enough to pay a single one of them.

God, I really love to see liberals in Hollyweird trying to "educate" the rest of us with anti-American propaganda flicks, smashing heads on the walls and asking themselves: what went wrong?

Meanwhile, "300" a warmongering, (read: patriotic-toned) flick casted with quasi-unknown actors = $70.3Mil in the opening weekend and... domestic gross total to date: $210,614,939 + Foreign: $245,453,242

You could argue that in perverse they are thereby being true to their anti-capitalist opinions/principles, and putting their money where their mouths are.

Actually I suspect it's because they're all arrogant baby-boomers who refuse to even contemplate the possibility that anyone other than knuckle-dragging troglodytes would disagree with them. They still think that everyone under 30 is their friend and ally. Look at the frickin' cast -- these are people who haven't had a new idea since Richard Nixon was president. They think that just by sticking names on the poster that their friends recognize the movie will make money.

Ask any 25 year-old droopy drawer punk who Robert Redford is and you'll likely just get blank stares, possibly "old actor." Meryl Streep? Isn't that what their ex girlfriend had and had to get the gritty cream for? Tom Cruise? Oh yeah -- the couch jumping guy.

Waterworld was considered a bomb but made 100s of millions outside the US.

All of them will still be banned in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, you know, places like that are our allies when they need to count de monet.

Hmmm... Well, the thing about Waterworld is that here in the States a lot of people savaged it even while it was still being filmed, and thus well before it had had even made it to a sneak preview. I've seen this movie. I've got this movie on DVD in fact. It's simply not that bad a film. In fact, it was actually a fun little film, when you ignore certain stretches the writer(s) made here and there. But in the rest of the world, there weren't people savaging it, so people went to the theaters with fewer preconceived notions, and thus it did a lot better there.

Course, sometimes even with people savaging a movie, it does phenomenally well. Look at 300, which the Lefties all trashed, but it raked in so much money that even the makers of the film were stunned!

But no pro-American-military film ever gets made nowadays, not even one.

That one was done on a very low budget by a group of friends, payed for via their very-stretched-to-the-limit credit cards. In fact, the video cameras they'd bought to do the film were later returned to the store for a refund!

That was another film that stunned the makers at how well it did at the box office.
