Harvey Weinstein & Meryl Streep planning anti-NRA movie

[mojo84]

Not surprising, his personal bodyguard carries a gun.

Another one bites the dust. I think the movie will do great in LA, NYC, and San Francisco and bomb everywhere else.

The NRA is an organization with massive popular support.....somehow I don't think they are quivering in their boots.

Harvey Weinstein?

Never heard of her.

He has a highly inflated opinion on how much power he has doesn't he? I believe Meryl Streep's career has "jumped the shark". Soon she will take any work she can get. It wouldn't surprise me to see her doing commercials soon.

Harvey Weinstein is a hard-leftist. He either believes, or pretends to believe, the leftist propaganda that "conservatives are Nazis" who all hate Jewish people, or some variation thereof. So, he wants the conservatives to be disarmed. This is the sort of tripe that the left puts out to both scaremonger with, and to create a "moral high-ground" for THEM to have firearms, but not for the average American citizen. So, he either knows he's full of hot air on this and just parroting the party line, or he's ignorant to the point of being dangerous about it. Either way, I have zero desire to see his movies.

Oddly, most of the Jewish kids I grew up with are staunch conservatives. They drilled WWII and Holocaust history into us at religious school (conservative to Orthodox Judaism), but at the temple across town (reformed Judaism) the kids were not exposed to the history of the Holocaust. Those kids are now mostly stark raving libs.

This has been my exact experience, but from the opposite perspective growing up. And, yes, as a kid I was one of those reformed "stark raving libs." Thank G-d, my family and I now attend an observant congregation, surrounded by folks who understand the importance of the 2A and openly speak of exercising our rights.

I say let them make their movie. It will have minimal impact for them and may galvanize supporters of our cause to be more vocal.

I think he should make the movie and pay a lot of stars big bucks to be in it. I know I won't go see it and maybe it will be a bik bust with him loosing millions.

Heartwarming story, hpcatx.

He's making a drama. I could see more harm done if it were a documentary but what kind of drama could you make about the NRA that will make them look as bad as he says?

He and Streep will not be getting any of my money for this film or any other. Once you hit my boycott list, it is permanent.

Yep, I agree.

Of course, Streep has been on my boycott list for a long time anyway -- she irritates me. I am about as interested in watching her as I would be watching "Hanoi Jane" Fonda.

Streep's career was actually a source of jokes during one of the award shows this week....something along the lines of parts available for someone of her age?
