Don, you seem to be saying that people go to movies based on their political leanings instead of their entertainment preferences.

I don’t think that analysis works very well with reality.

Surely the success or failure of this movie is irrelevant to the events surrounding Valerie Plain.

Sean Penn is a liberal idiot and his movies are a total waste i hope he never ever make another hit movie ever again Just as bad as OLIVER STONES crappy movies like his latists filmatic junk SOUTH OF THE BORDER which he praises HUGO CHAVEZ was also a big flop

Bet the film does not mention the fact that Plame sent her husband (Joe Wilson) to Nigeria, where he did find ‘Yellow Cake’ uranium scheduled for sale to Iraq. She and her husband lied their asses off and got away with it, but since her book flopped, makes me wonder why they would try and make a movie out of that crap! As for Sean Penn, he has self-proclaimed himself as a communist sympathizer.

I do LOVE the fact that all the anti-American films they have made over the years with the attempt at portraying our military as criminals, Republicans in general being corrupt…Everyone of those have failed miserably at the Box Office and in DVD releases. Love seeing all those movie investments costing the investors without anything on ROI.

If the many people, namely Sean Penn and Michael Moore like it so much cozying up to Chavez, that is where they should become permanent residence there and forfeit their American citizenship.

Kent, I can’t speak for all, but the majority of my friends DO boycott certain movies, actors and actresses for exactly the reasons you would deny. Most, like myself, don’t make a big ‘splash’ about it…they just avoid contributing financially or by participation to something they cannot support.

The evidence would seem to suggest that agendas, not entertainment, are the driving force behind such productions, in an attempt to ‘educate’ the public with deceptions. Our freedoms, which are our greatest strengths, are being used against us.

To all of the above posts,,,Movies are a business 1st & art 2nd,my opinion
Somedays you make money like a low budget ‘Indy’ film on a shoestring,that rakes in millions. Somedays you have big stars,yet flop like “Ishtar”. It is usually the content of the film that draws fans of that genre to the
boxoffice. I agree that most “Anti-G.I.” & Anti American films do NOT do well,,,,& one would think that the PRO-Left out in La-La land would learn that 70-80% of this land is ‘moderate’ to ‘conservative’ & are PRO-G.I. &
PRO-America.
Like most “Ideas” that come out of the PRO-Left,,the goody-2-shoes liberals
STILL do NOT get it. Work with us,,& make money,,against us & lose your shirt ,,,not to mention your reputation. I hope for Naomi Watts ,it was just a pay day. As for Sean Hugo Fidel Penn, it is his way of just pissing off a few more million ahrd working Tax-paying loyal Americans.My Opinion

Jim in AL is right. It’s time we stop funding our own destruction – we are a society given to entertainment instead of work and MOST of the entertainment is intertwined with messages that destroys what America has stood for all of her years – up to about the 60′s. America LOVES the message Hollywood had from by-gone days – hence the love for Reagan. Somehow – the people know they are being lied to in most of these movies – but they keep listening . . . and if a lie is told often enough and long enough – pretty soon the truth will not be known. How did Jerry Brown get elected? How did so many of these entrenched anti-americans get re-elected (Pelosi, Boxer, Reid . . . )? Someone is believing lies somewhere. So the Soro’s of the world keep them coming – - – profitable or not. Michael Moore made money on his lies/propaganda – Al Gore made MUCH money on his lies – not all are unprofitable, sad-to-say.

Just recently left-wing director OLIVER STONE made a movie SOUTH OF THE BORDER which he praises HUGO CHAVEZ the movie was a big time bomb in VENUSZUALEA and america to proving that stone is one of the all time worst directors in hollyweird land

Right on the money.

If I want to hear Sean Penn’s comments on the Bush administration I’ll watch him on Bill Maher. When an actor so chooses what movie to do to dramatize his political beliefs you’ve got a loser.

We don’t care what you think Penn and we showed it to you by keeping our money in our pocket and not yours.
