I knew that they couldn't sit by when the movie was rejected by them due to pressure from the right

1. Disney is going down with busholini inc.

Michael, go fuck yourself.

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

2. Their response: ANOTHER bad business decision.

How many more do you think they can do?

3. Well the reality is . . .

. . .is Disney saying this is a response to Moore? I dunno it seems like an issue the cooks on the right have seized upon, but I am not sure if Disney is using this to attack Moore, they are too smart for that.

4. All this article is. . .

. . .is that KOOK Howard Kaloogian,chairman of Move America Forward yapping. I doubt Disney is actually viewing it as a counter. Anyone that would believe that it is actually pretty stupid. Disney is a lot of things but its not stupid. No one has heard of this film and given the buzz that F9/11 has generated there is no way this film will compete. Let the Freepers go see it, hell maybe I will go see it to so that I can "feel good." LOL

Hey Howard are you lurking tonight?

5. What the hell...

Is this Move America Forward, it sounds like a cheap knock-off Moveon. Stupid ass movie and concept, the only audience will be a bunch of freepers. I willing to bet MM has a much wider acceptance than this crap...

6. OK. let me get this straight....

Disney refused to distribute F911 because they didn't want to appear too political but now they don't mind coming across as political when they decide to come out with a movie for the sole purpose of attempting to counter act F911's success?

And I'm suppose to be stupid enough to believe there's logic in this?

[wndycty]

10. There is no logic here. . .

. . .not even Disney thinks that. This film is being hijacked by a bunch of FREEPER type kooks. Thats all. . .I doubt Disney is trying to make any kind of statement.

7. Amazing true colors

Of new reporters, writers, editorialists and corporations that are attacking F9/11 and/or Moore...man they are really showing where they stand.

8. Hunh?

I'm betting that if F 9/11 is blunted at the box office next weekend, it's going to have a lot more to do with a certain wallcrawler than that piece of jingoistic tripe that Eisner's releasing.

9. Hmm, America's Heart and Soul will come out on Friday???

I know what movie I'LL be watching again later this week. :)

[NightOwwl]

11. From the article

But Disney executives said that the release of the new film on Friday - a week after the release of "Fahrenheit" - was simply co-incidental.

"Releasing the film now "had nothing to do with Fahrenheit 9/11 and there is no link at all between the two movies," said one Disney executive.

Uh huh. By the way Eisner - Go fuck yourself! Oh wait, you already did. :silly:

[cliss]

12. Heh heh (evil snicker)

Remind me NOT to go see this new movie, "Heart and Soul". It sounds incredibly smarmy, just a "feel-good" fluff of a movie which will supposedly have you feeling good all over....if you can get through it without throwing up, that is.

Let's watch how it does at the box office, and laugh when it fizzles after just a few days.
heh heh
