#1 After that Billy Zane/Gary Busey movie that did major box office in Turkey, I hope Stallone makes this. Hell, I'll even go see it if he does.

#2 Excellent to see what may be evidence of non-moonbattery in Hollywood.

#4 Hollywood's tough guy Sylvester Stallone is set to helm a film based on the controversial book 'The Forty Days of Musa Dagh', which describes the alleged Turkish massacre of the Armenian community in 1915.

I think the story needs much more exposure, and I'm glad Stallone is attempting that. I also like what he says about the Turks' efforts to revise history.

As far as I can tell from what I've read, except for the nutcase fringe, nobody sane is denying that Turks massacred Armenians. What's in dispute are numbers and whether it was a systematic, planned genocide. I'm convinced it was, but Bernard Lewis (yes, that one) doesn't. You can google up tons of commentary on his statement.

#6 Stallone should have enough money to bankroll it himself. The Rambo movies, Rocky I- XXV...

It's the New York money people.

#8 Just to make sure there's no misunderstanding, let me clarify my statement. It's the kikes in general, not all of whom reside in New York.
