joan	Aug 13 2008 5:17 PM Hi Friends I am borrowing (and editing) the words of a dear friend Sue Cline to tell you about the new movie Tropic Thunder. You can check out her blog on the link below. I don't often ask this of people, but I'm asking now: would you please consider boycotting this movie and spreading the word about it? In the movie, that three actors are brought together to make a movie about the Vietnam War. These three actors are played by Robert Downey Jr, Ben Stiller (who wrote and directed) and Jack Black. Stiller's character is an actor who is reaching for parts that might gain him respect, and he plays a role specifically designed to get him an Oscar nomination: a man who is intellectually disabled. This movie is called Simple Jack. Not appearing in Tropic Thunder but appearing on the promotional website (until recently) was a poster for Simple Jack. Its tagline: Once upon a time...there was a retard. This promotional website has been taken down because of protests from disability advocacy groups. In the movie, and not being cut from it, Stiller has written a line about someone "going full retard." Shirts are being made with the words "Full Retard" on them. The thought of it makes me ill. Advocacy groups around the country are staging protests of the movie, which opens tomorrow. Here are some websites where you can read all about this: Dave Hingsburger Active Gray Matter ~ Sue Cline Patricia Bauer <

Good luck with all you're endeavors in '08 and I look forward to meeting sometime in the new year - either if I get to the East or you get to the West - let's cover the entire motion picture industry!
