  1. Wow, such a big build up for such a huge let down.

    Bill Whittle introduces a conservative contribution funded movie production company to film a story by – Bill Whittle! A guy who’s a great essayist but apparently has zilch published stories or filmed screenplays – IOWs, a rank amateur fiction/screenplay wise. If anyone here has tried to read “Molon labe” you know what I’m talking about.

    Get back to me when someone like Jerry Pournelle gets on board (Fallen Angels, anyone?). Oh, and I would also suggest putting together some film professionals who have a track record as well, people who will stand behind your efforts to get people to invest and make it look serious.

  2. As far as “Fallen Angels”, in my opinion it’s a bit too far down the road of ruin to be inspiring. However, if we’re truly entering another Dalton minimum, then a “Fallen Angels” would be especially well timed.

    “Aurora” looks like it’s a few decades past “High Justice” and “Exiles to Glory”. Anyway, I agree that Pournelle especially, while we still have him, would be perfect to be involved in this somehow.

  3. Yeah, I third the vote on Pournelle, Larry Niven, and Sheffield too. Their “Higher Education” juvie novel would be a great movie and would be a great PG rating to expose kids to libertarian ideas.

  4. As much as I’d love to see this work, I don’t think the problem is a Hollywood business model. It’s a relativistic post-modern culture that rejects “modern” notions of absolute right and wrong, good and evil. Heck, my kid’s favorite web game (LEGO Mars Mission) lets you play as either the humans (against the aliens) OR as the aliens (against the humans). Think that woulda happened forty years ago? And my kid prefers to be the aliens fighting the humans because the aliens have cooler technology.

    Nope, I’m afraid it’s going to take more than funding cinema to change things. It’s going to require some high-level conservative thinkers to wrest back control of the American narrative from the deconstructionists who deemed it too pro-white-male and insufficiently diverse. It’s the pomo’s and multi-culti’s that are the root of the demise of the traditional values and beliefs. Funding all the spaghetti westerns in the world isn’t going to change that.

  5. Stars my destination by Alfred Bester would be my pick. Seems somewhat appropriate at the moment and I always thought it could make a great movie.
