GOP Asks Miramax To Distribute Anti-Kerry Flick

The Republican National Committee has asked Miramax to distribute a short documentary, which it described as a compilation of clips of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry contradicting himself. RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie told a news conference Wednesday: "I reached out yesterday to Miramax, and we have sent them a copy of it and asked them if they would considering distributing this documentary across the country." A Miramax spokesman confirmed to the New York Daily News that he had spoken with Gillespie, but added: "We don't do short films."

:eyes:

Anyone else getting a little irritated by this whole 'flip-flop' thing? And I highly doubt Miramax would waste money on thise

1. Whats a matter Ed
Jealous that your guy isnt a hero. Kerry has guts, despite being from a well to do background, he enlisted in the Navy straight out of college, and not only that, he gained the affection and love of his men, and its always nice to see them with him, it shows that he hasnt forgotten.

6. and that we have not only a great politican running for president
but a true hero as well, I know some are reluctant supporters but I swear reading about Kerry is like reading about the guys in WWII in books by Ambrose, Bradley, and Ryan, and others, and Kerry I know has the greatest respect for veterans, hes such a great guy.

4. But it sounds SO exciting
Short film in major theatres? The story was that originally "Wayne's World" was only 45 minutes long-the distributors told them to make it at least 90 minutes. What are they going to do show a 454 minute movie and charge people half price?

This is a stupid idea. They have their own network for crying out loud.

What a lame ass stunt.

7. Harvey Weinstein is Mira max.
They are big democratic supporters. They are breaking away from Disney. In the paper in the last few weeks. Weinstein contributes to the democrats all the time.
