Re: Kon-Tiki
Will I be forced to turn in my badge as a member of the liberal elite if I pay money to see this? The beginning of the trailer says it is produced by a Weinstein company.

Do you listen to Wagner? His works are some of the most fantastic in the classical music canon.
The Weinstein Company made many brilliant films - I’m not going to boycott them all.

Re: Kon-Tiki
Sorry, I won't be watching this since I've already seen the original ... filmed on location and with the original cast.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Re: Kon-Tiki
Wagner is dead and nothing I do will change him. Garrison Keillor or Al Franken are not dead. Is it ok for me to suggest Mr. Franken should run for office, or Mr. Keillor has some interesting books for sale?

Re: Kon-Tiki
I watched the documentary right after the feature film - it’s also brilliant, but many of the best moments from the voyage aren’t depicted (a few are dramatized for the film, but overall it’s a true depiction). The feature film is absolutely beautiful - a gorgeous viewing experience for any thalassophile and worth adding to one’s experience of Kon-Tiki.

Re: Kon-Tiki
So just Franken, Keillor and Weinstein? Because if you’re going to avoid all art created by artists with moral failings in their personal lives, I think you’re gonna need a much, much bigger list.Burning Petard wrote:Wagner is dead and nothing I do will change him.
