Cloony was in town here yesterday plugging his latest movie, "Leatherheads" about the Duluth Bulldogs National Football League team from the 20's.



Actually the team was called the Eskimos and it played teams like the Green Bay Packers. It is the direct ancestor of the Washington Redskins.

Sounds like a nice light comedy (Filmed in N.Carolina BTW).

This is fun kinda black humor...
This isn't rocket science, and everyone playing dumb about the failure of Hollywood's anti-American, pro-defeat surge isn't at all convincing. Good Americans love this country. They respect our troops and know our mistakes don't belong on the same scale with terrorist atrocities. These films are failing because they're based on lies and thanks to New Media word's getting out to audiences before they're suckered on opening weekend.

Play dumb all you want, Hollywood. Play dumb all you want, liberal media. You know why these films are failing and so do we: Hollywood's on the wrong side. But if they don't want to make heroic films about the war, that's okay, because watching these anti-American films humiliated at the box-office weekend after weekend has been just as entertaining.

Other fun kinda black humor...
