The Rebel Faction

Correction - A Disney Exec and a "Source close to Miramax" said so. If Disney feels they want to distance themselves from the film due to political ramnifications, then its' obvious that distrubution would be something they could easily deny. And the Weinsteins themselves have stepped forwards to help distribute the film, which makes me doubtful of this "Source" they speak of.

I can't fathom the idea that smart Star Wars roleplayers would defend Bush even in the most accidental type of way.

Moore: Almost a year ago after we'd started making the film, the chairman of Disney, Michael Eisner, told my agent that he was upset that Miramax had made the film -- Disney owns Miramax -- and he will not distribute this film.

And the very next line, that Kas conveniently left out:

Miramax said don't worry about that, keep making the film, we'll keep funding it. The Disney money kept flowing to us for the last year. We finished the film last week, and we take it to the Cannes film festival next week.

Yeah but come ON. Why would Disney keep funding the movie if ythey didn't want to distribute it??

I heard from a lot of my anti-bush friends that the movie sucked. They all walked out before it was even over.
