But the producer is free to keep on producing the work- It is the
consumer who decides what to consume or not! If you boycott something
you are not restraining anyones actions but your own. Thats the beauty
of it.

"Good Luck Artists!
-from someone who is not an anti-semite"
Unlike all of those who'll join in such a boycott, right?
Ive been boycotting Israelli and Turkish films for years now. What
does THAT makes me? An antisemite antiturk bigot? I also boycott films
from Egypt (Visual poison ivy) AND Chile (Ouch!!!).
So if you boycott Hollywood fare you are anti American?

Please....
