the idea that Hollywood has ever been some crusading champion of artistic freedom is bull**** now and was bull**** then

Posted by: charlie (a.k.a mickpix) on Dec 19, 14:31 in response to goodvibe61's post What exactly are you saying? So far, it's clear as mud.

i will start crying tears for the "artists" when the studios start greenlighting more than a constant stream of soulless CGI ****

Kudos to Obama saying (in his news conference within the last 15 minutes) that Sony made a mistake pulling the movie. {nm} KalElFan Dec 19, 11:14

yes, who better to lecture Hollywood on how to deal with terrorist threats than our government {nm} charlie Dec 19, 11:16

All poorly thought out knee-jerk attempts at humor aside. Who WOULD you like to lecture us on how to deal with terrorist threats? {nm} BSmurf Dec 19, 11:18

nobody. it's easy to tell Sony and the theater owners how they should act when it's not your business or your money on the line charlie Dec 19, 11:25

So, you're now saying that the USA is as dangerous as foreign countries the State Dept advises against visiting? bit of a leap. Try again. {nm} BSmurf Dec 19, 11:41

well we have higher gun deaths than a lot of them so, i guess {nm} charlie Dec 19, 11:47

Right, Obama shouldn't be telling the film industry what to do... That is Kim Jong Un's job! {nm} potzertommy Dec 19, 12:00

and China, and the House Unamerican Activities Committee, and Hitler's Hollywood watchdog, and the Hays Office . . . {nm} charlie Dec 19, 12:08

You pull a tigers tail don't turn around and ask me what you should do next. tradermark Dec 19, 12:36

Perfect lol. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 19, 14:27

Good Lord. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 19, 14:16

Sony only pulled after the major theatre chains said they wouldn't play it. Not really there decision imo. {nm} jwammo Dec 19, 11:21

*their {nm} jwammo Dec 19, 11:22

thats not what all of what happened. Maybe the full story will come out one day, but theres more to it. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 19, 11:23

I read somewhere Sony gave theater an option to play movie or not. Theaters chose not to play it... {nm} Oleg Max Dec 19, 11:27

Could you expand on the story? {nm} ~JPV~ Dec 19, 11:28

How about if the full story comes out right now in your response? {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 19, 14:20

"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why. " {nm} ~JPV~ Dec 19, 17:28

He got closer to what he should have done in the first place. He should have said that he had requested that Sony and theaters go ahead edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 19, 11:55

Eh I don't see obama ever saying that. {nm} Dorfman Dec 19, 12:01

translation: I saw your emails, Amy {nm} charlie Dec 19, 12:06

+1 {nm} oakley77 Dec 19, 13:45

Ha wonder if George gave him the idea. Jus say'n. {nm} grammar Dec 19, 12:43
