Capitalism...

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/mark-ta...apitalism/

Actor Andy Serkis is set to direct an upcoming movie adaptation of George Orwell’s classic novel Animal Farm. But there will be a slight deviation from the story’s original focus: rather than serve as a cautionary tale about Communist totalitarianism, this updated version will address Hollywood’s predictable, go-to embodiment of evil, the Darth Vader of our time: corporate greed.

It's a pretty easy target.

Did Hollywood run out of unique ideas?

And the polar opposite of Orwell's intent.

No doubt.

It's unoriginal, nowhere near true to the material, and not even taking a look at the right thing.

Unless it is the greed of the Hollywood folks.

Maybe they can do a rewrite of "Atlas Shrugged" to show how corporate greed caused all the troubles. John Galt would be recast as an Al Gore like character.

It just never ceases to amaze me how fu#@en ignorgant, and arrogant, are the people who have never accomplished anything in their lives and rely on the government for their pathetic existence.

Will this attack on corporate greed mention such liberal icons as Apple, Google, Warren Buffett's company, AT&T, Comcast, the insurance companies that are being force fed customers by Obama, Microsoft, GM, Disney, and any number of Hollywood studios?

So it isn't Animal Farm it's an idiologicaly driven attempt to distort it; that's nice.

No.

Honestly, there is a way to display corporate greed without going at all of capitalism. I have every doubt in the world that this is what they have in mind.

The "Fun with Dick and Jane" approach?

If you mean updating for today's problems, yes.

If they illustrated the dangers of govt. funded "capitalism", then I'd be for it.

But they won't.

That's what I'm saying.

The animated version from 1954 will be hard to top.

The full movie is on Youtube if anyone's interested.

If they hate capitalism so much, they should take all their profits from the box office and donate them to the federal government. Until that happens, they're hypocrites like Russell Brand for criticizing an economic system which has made them rich.

Little things like reality don't get in the way of the Hollywood libtards.

One of these greedy Hollywood types has to realize the fortune that could be made of telling the real Obama story on the big screen.

The fake SSN, the whore mother, the commie ties... a fortune.
