I understand your viewpoint, but I do think it'd be more effective to voice our displeasure NOW so that it hurts Robbins/Sarandon more than it hurts MGM. I mean, if we're successful in getting mgm to drop consideration for this, that will have a direct and substantial effect on robbins/sarandon pocketbook. I think that will let them know in no uncertain terms that there IS a price to pay for their anti-Americanism. A movie boycott, after the effect, dilutes the financial pain because, after all, robbins/sarandon will have already gotten paid for it!

Here's the text of what i submitted to mgm:

"I heard that MGM is considering casting Robbins/Sarandon in a movie about 9/11??? That has to be a sick joke, right? You couldn't POSSIBLY consider such Anti-American leftists for roles in this country's worst tragedy. Everything they've said and done points to their feelings that America is evil, deserves whatever atrocities are committed against us. I don't know ANYONE who would patronize a movie starring these 2--esp a movie about a historic tragedy that has changed our country forever. If this isn't a sick rumor, and you're serious, please reconsider before you suffer a terrible blight on your reputation and a financial disaster."

I can't be against "voicing displeasure," but my hunch is that we aren't going to have to do squat. Yeah, they were in talks with these two, but that pre-dates the latest unpleasantness.

Seen Drudge today? Susan Sarandon's "ice movie" on CBS came in at last place. CBS viewership was down 40% from the week before. In New York, Sarandon trailed even the WB's "Black Sash."

This woman is getting "Dixie Chicked" by the public. She is radioactive. Nobody is going to plunk down money on her until this goes away... and it may never go away.
