[...] David Zincavage runs a site called Never Yet Melted. Nice site. I went there because he has a write up about An American Carol. It looks like it will be a good movie. Then I read a few more posts. I like opinions that are [...]

David,

I like your site. I mostly resent the implication that one must be conservative or liberal, but that’s the world we live in. I’m neither. I evaluate situations one at a time based on the facts at hand. I’m despised equally by those who have applied both labels to themselves. I suppose I’m a libertarian, but they annoy me, too.

Anyway, it looks like a fun place to hang out. I’m going to add you to my blogroll.

Happy 24,

Rip

As a liberal, i am not offended by Zucker poking fun at those who lean to the left and michael moore but more so offended as a fan of comedy. This trailer is simply not funny and i have a strange feeling the movie will follow suit.

Once the bad reviews pile in, people will complain about a liberal bias when it is just poor content. I’m really not sure what Zucker is thinking.

I’d hate to say this because i know it must not be true but maybe conservatives just aren’t funny?

Lefty critics are putting out bad reviews far and wide already for this, after what, a two minute trailer. They are so thin skinned that they cannot take on a little poke in the eye from a slapstick comedy—someone needs to wake up Hollywood, they are so far outside of the mainstream of the country that it’s become wearying for many moviegoers.

Just to help liberals get where I’m coming from – How would you guys react if there were no left leaning films and all conservative ones? This makes a welcome change, I think. I’m sick and tired of being fed a steady diet of liberal tripe by Hollywood year after year.

It’s about time we see a movie satirizing the left (God knows we have seen innumerable satires of the right without critics raising an eyebrow, not to mention the more serious left wing attack films. This is simply what we have become accustomed to).

David Zucker is a brave man, as he has stated in interviews, he is staking his career on this. I hope his gamble pays off – and the only way we can make it pay off is by going to see this movie. I for one, can’t wait. It isn’t just for a good laugh, but for a good cause.

“I’m not a regular moviegoer (who wants to donate to the Democratic party?) but I will be gladly paying to see this one!”

Conservatives – so afraid of unfiltered information and entertainment that, due to the liberal bias of reality, doesn’t reinforce their worldview.

I can’t wait to see this film. Finally Hollyweird will be getting a dose of its own medicine. But it will be amazing to see how quickly this film will be shot down by left wing movie critics. I hope it’s a blockbuster. And I think it will be. Thanks Mr. Zucker, Mr. Nielson, Mr. Grammer, and everyone involved. I’m not a regular moviegoer (who wants to donate to the Democratic party?) but I will be gladly paying to see this one!
