David Zucker believes we are in a "new McCarthy era." Time magazine film writer Richard Corliss recently joked that conservative films are "almost illegal in Hollywood." Tom O'Malley, president of Vivendi Entertainment, though, dismisses claims that Hollywood is hostile to conservative ideas and suggests that conservatives simply haven't been as interested in making movies. "How come there aren't more socialists on Wall Street?"
But Zucker's film, together with a spike in attendance at events put on by "The Friends of Abe" (Lincoln, not Vigoda)--a group of right-leaning Hollywood types that has been meeting regularly for the past four years--is once again reviving hope that conservatives will have a battalion in this exceedingly influential battleground of the broader culture war.
Should be a great. Liberals give us so much to lampoon about.
I hope it’s good but David Zucker hasn’t made a funny movie in a long time.
Grammer, who is friends with Ann Coulter, says he quoted her once to some of the young people who work for him.
"'Ann Coulter,'" he says, recalling their horror and assuming their voice. "'She's the antichrist.' And I said: 'What the f-- do you know about the antichrist? You don't even believe in Christ.'"
Our own Hometown Boy, Kevin Farley, plays the Michael Moore character.
It’s highly unlikely that this will be released in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan,’ though. All of the theaters are full up with bus loads of kids on forced field trips to view Algore’s film. ;)
Just kiddin’. I’ll go out of town to see it if necessary.

I can now see why its been so heavily advertised on conservative talk radio. Its on my to-watch list.
Zucker is one of the few good guys in Hollyweird. And Airplane remains one of the funniest movies ever and I am looking forward to seeing this. Kudos for a man with a spine willing to voice a differing opinion to a bunch of socialists who want none of it.
I’m really looking forward to this show.
