Fahrenheit 9/11

[The Emperor Fabulous]

That's right, it was Lion's Gate...but the executive producer was Johnathan Gordon, who also produced such Miramax films as Good Will Hunting, The Yards, and the upcoming Green Hornet, along with the Weinsteins.

On a different note, how things have changed at Disney. While looking through "Dogma" articles on IMDb, I found the following Harvey Weinstein quote:

"Disney is a target that's too vulnerable in a situation like this. They make family movies and a protest could hurt them unnecessarily."

Things certainly are different 5 years later.

Actually, the trouble is simply that Disney doesn't want to distribute it for him. Simply because showing any hint of anti-administration rhetoric is seen as "overstepping the bounds" or "taking sides", while they will never the less gleefully release any right-leaning production at the drop of a hat.

What Disney company are you talking about? Because the Disney company I know, provides equal benefits to employees regardless of sexual orientation -- last time I checked.

That certainly does not fit your description of Disney as having some sort of knee-jerk reaction in support of right-wing ideology.

Disney is not afraid of Xian fundies boycotting them. Disney is afraid of the Republican Party (like any smart person should be).

Then Disney better darn well deny queers equal employee benefits if they're afraid of the Republican Party.

Yep, Mr Fun... Che is in the Cheland again . Of course Disney is ONLY scared of the Republicans. They aren't frightened of the left at all. That's why they jumped at the chance to make 'The Passion'. Oh wait...

Off-topic, but how much does he weigh?

[MrFun]

Even as an aside, why bring up the question of his weight out of the blue?

[Al B. Sure!]

if it can be proven that he eats poor people to sustain his weight, then he will lose credibility...

So as to satiate my curiosity. He looks overwhelmingly, perhaps morbidly, obese.
