Reverend Moon? Swiftboaters? Halliburton? Defense Industry? Oil industry? TV ministries? Lobbyist groups? The list of possibles isn't exactly short, and all of them tend to be pretty flush these days.

8. You get the impression it was Disney money -

This is from the ticker linked story -

The five-hour miniseries is set to run without commercial interruption. Director David Cunningham said it was a massive undertaking, with close to 250 speaking parts, more than 300 sets and a budget of $40 million. Cunningham has said he shot 550 hours of film. The cast includes Harvey Keitel, Patricia Heaton and Donnie Wahlberg.

But 40 mil dollars is an awful lot for a tv movie to commit to without a backer. Hence my doubt.

If it was Disney money - and this goes as badly as appears - they just pissed away shareholder money - watch the lawsuits from every direction. I bet lawyers are lining up for this right now.

You know Disney has been having infights for some time, Iger (the CEO) I don't think is too popular anyway. And really, this is an incredibly dumb move. They stand a pretty good chance of pissing off the next congress here - for what?? A dud movie (assuming the reviews are right) - that they just spent so much money on??
