Why Is Hollywood in a Box Office Slump?Tammy Bruce explains it to them. Best quote: So you can take your gay sheepherder, noble communist supporting reporters, big-business is evil, Americans are hopelessly and inherently corrupt and violent and unfaithful movies and go to Cannes where at least the Parisian set will love you. But that won't exactly pay the bills, will it? posted by Harry Callahan at 12:09 PM
CommentsWhy can't you add my site man? Maybe Hollywood needs more movies with Tina Fey? Posted by: Winston on December 14, 2005 12:15 PM
Just don't rent a car while at Cannes without getting the extra insurance. Unless you like your car well done. Posted by: Chrees on December 14, 2005 12:33 PM
Hollywood is like the MSM. They are willing to commit financial suicide to propagandize their distorted view of reality. Posted by: Jake on December 14, 2005 12:35 PM
I still can't believe they actually named the gay "cowboy" movie, Bareback Mountain. Oh, wait, maybe I misread it. Posted by: kelly on December 14, 2005 12:46 PM
It's not about cowboys -- they're sheepboys. Posted by: on December 14, 2005 12:50 PM
And those sheep are NERVOUS! Posted by: Dex in TX on December 14, 2005 12:54 PM
I predict dude ranchs are going to be very popular this summer. :) Posted by: on December 14, 2005 12:59 PM
But...Tammy leaves out that a lot of these movies are indie flicks, not funded by Hollywood studios, but by Hollywood celebrity directors/producers as vanity preach-to-the-choir pieces. But celebrity isn't enough to get a lot of people into theatres. The "event" movies, like Revenge of the Sith, Harry P, Narnia did and are doing quite well. Posted by: Dex in TX on December 14, 2005 01:02 PM
It's not as if these films are hard hitting exposes the public needs to see. They're drivel, are disconnected from reality warmed over lliberal propaganda proven false many years ago. Scary thing? People with lots of money and a leftwing agenda are funding them. Money is no object, so they'll keep making them and they'll continue to get prizes and the media will continue to praise them even if the public ignores them. Posted by: tefta on December 14, 2005 01:06 PM
Wait a second. They aren't cowboys? I mean, I can understand them getting so lonely they turn to gay sex if they're cowboys... Cause nobody wants to have sex with a cow. But I just don't buy it if there's all them sheep around. Just sayin. Posted by: benjamin on December 14, 2005 01:11 PM

Dex: The Hollywood studios own the "indy" studios. Nothing independent about it. Posted by: on December 14, 2005 01:25 PM
DVDs. The reason people aren't shelling out $10 per person to go to a theater is because we can watch them on our large (relative to years passed) screen tvs with wonderful picture quality (relative) at whatever time we want, and we don't have to shell out another $6 for a coke and $10 for popcorn, nor do we have to put up with screaming babies/teenagers or cell phones ringing. And we can watch them in the comfort of our homes for about $5. A movie theater is still the best place to see some movies -- studio blockbusters with giant special effects -- but there's little reason anymore to spend 3 times the money to see an indy flick that feels pretty much the same on my tv as in the theater.

Becuase hollywood has resorted to remaking old classics like KING KONG and WAR OF THE WORLDS and WILLIE WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY i think it would be better if you went to see the offerings from DISNEY at least CHICKEN LITTLE and VALIANT are not remakes Posted by: spurwing plover on December 14, 2005 02:48 PM
I agree with Spurwing. I finally saw War of the Worlds last night. It sucked. Even the little girl was annoying. Posted by: Timmy in the Well on December 14, 2005 02:52 PM
Brokeback Mountain.......where men are men and the sheep are.......wary. Posted by: rls on December 14, 2005 03:15 PM
Anyone who spends the time reading the Bruce article and recalls the major movies released this year can see that she is wrong. That said, she lost me with her comments regarding "History of Violence"; an awesome film which certainly didn't have the message Bruce attributes to it. Posted by: Gene on December 14, 2005 04:16 PM
But she was dead on about Good Night and Good Luck. Posted by: Brian B on December 14, 2005 05:10 PM
Other than Ms. Bruce...it's quickly becoming apparent that I'm the only other living self-loathing conservative lesbian on the planet. Needless to say, I don't date much. Posted by: The Ugly American on December 14, 2005 06:04 PM
Needless to say, I don't date much. On the bright side, if you ever manage to meet Tammy Bruce, she's probably free Friday too.... Posted by: Brian B on December 14, 2005 06:06 PM
I more or less did at the recent Liberty Film Festival. I had to laugh when her comments on the UN came across as ultra-conservative compared to her heterosexual counterparts. That's me in a nutshell. Being perfectly frank though...I'd much rather pick her brain than go out on a "date". Besides, my type tends to be more on the coquettish side. ; ) Posted by: The Ugly American on December 14, 2005 06:42 PM
I saw the origional version of WAR OF THE WORLDS it was great especialy when the martian lays its hand on ANN ROBINSONS shoulder that was scary Posted by: spurwing plover on December 14, 2005 09:18 PM
Just because Hollyweird is stuck on stupid politically doesn't mean it can't be stuck on stupid economically, too. And it is. Walter D. has to be spinning at 1000 RPM right now. Posted by: Carlos on December 15, 2005 11:38 AM
They even remade THE NUTTY PROFFESOR and THE ABSENT MINDED PROFESOR and INCREDIBLE JOURNEY making the animals talk was a real stupid pet trick and then they remake FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX and STANDING TALL and as blacks into them to appease JESSIE JACKASSON and AL SHARKPON Posted by: spurwing plover on December 17, 2005 08:26 PM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
