Stirring Ayers Pot

This morning director John Hancock (Bang The Drum Slowly, Weeds, Prancer) got in touch about a screenplay he's written about Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, based on Ayers' memoirs "Fugitive Days." McCain-Palin has made Ayers is a hot topic over the least couple of days but I was buried at the time, so I hooked him up with Politico's Jeffrey Ressner and here's what resulted.


Bill Ayers young annd old -- former Weatherman activist, currently professor of education at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

Hancock finished Fugitive Days "over the summer with longtime partner Dorothy Tristan, and his agent has just begun sending it to producers and production companies," Ressner reported. "Adapted from Ayers' 2001 memoir of the same name, the script has received 'nibbles but no bites,' said Hancock, who is hoping to direct the film if it is eventually produced.

"Hancock told Politico that he optioned the book about a year and a half ago and spent about 40 hours interviewing Ayers and Dohrn in Chicago. The two were founding members of the Weather Underground and together helped plot some of the most violent domestic protests of the Vietnam War, including bombings of the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.

"Near the end of the screenplay, Ayers discusses his political activism in a scene with his father and says, 'Yeah we did some foolish things. I can't quite imagine putting a bomb in a building today, but the way things are in the world, I can't imagine entirely dismissing the possibility either. What if the government is killing a bunch of innocent people and just won't listen? And knowing now that trying to make a better life can lead to the guillotine, and the gulag, I still can't imagine a fully human world without utopian dreams.'"

Who would want to see this? It's not like he ever crossed paths with anyone famous. WE ALL KNOW THAT HE NEVER MET ANYONE! IT WOULD BE A FILTHY ROVIAN LIE TO SUGGEST OTHERWISE!

Well, for my selfish desires, I hope it sells and it gets made and gives Hancock enough second wind that Paramount allows him to go back and do commentary tracks for the otherwise featureless DVDs of BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY and LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH.

Sounds like a great idea for a movie... for someone else to write and direct. That kind of obvious climactic scene is strictly second-grade. I'd bet this ain't gettin any bites because there's not a filmmaker behind it who can do it justice.

Any money going to Ayers for a script woiuld be blood money. Not only was he a bombmaker. He didn't even have the werewithal to be any good at it.

Ha ha ha! That's good, Duck. Best post you've ever made.

I like "oh crap," but "never mind" is just good, common-sense advice.

Gee, Frank, that was really worth the 15 seconds it took to type. Tomorrow, try "I know you are but what am I?" That's always a goodie.

Sounds like another blockbuster from the Far Left.

Maybe they should give the profits to all the people Ayers and his crew hurt.

But hey that would be too nice and considerate and American.

Yeah, Ayers should have gift wrapped his packages, attached complimentary little notes, and dropped them over places like Vietnam and Cambodia. Apparently, the fucking guy doesn't understand what it means to be an Amur'ican.

Exactly my point. Consider that before you compose another of your typical troll posts.

The funny thing is, you would have made an actual joke this time if you hadn't fucked it up. Usually, you're just here to annoy, and I guess you've succeeded at that.

When is Stallone going to give back money to the Afghanis oppressed by the Taliban he supported in Rambo III?
