WHO WOULD WATCH IT?:

Investors Sue Maker of Film on Kerry (MSN, Feb 15, 2005)

Two investors have sued a filmmaker for allegedly misleading them about plans for a documentary on the life of presidential candidate John Kerry.

The federal lawsuit filed Monday says brothers Marc Abrams and Russell Abrams were misled into thinking that George Butler, a longtime Kerry friend, and the film's producers were trying to make a commercially successful film.


The Cabana Boy title misled them into thinking it was going to be porn.

maybe they thought they were going to do a remake of the chris Elliot film -- "Cabin Boy" -- with jean kerry in the lead role. the elliot film bears a remarkable similarity to kerry's self-told tales...

Is insanity a defense?

Sigmund Freud used to say 'It's not who fires the gun, it's who attracts the bullet.'

People dumb enough to think anyone, including Te-Ray-Zah, would pay a nickel or a centime to watch a film about the life of Kerry are too stupid to be entitled to the court's protection.

If it weren't George Butler ripping them off, it would be some guy in a fedora and a loud sports coat selling them the Brooklyn Bridge.
