Actually, I'd HOPED people could chalk up the failure of TLA to the protest, because that would probably entail the studio taking our concerns seriously, and it having dramatic effect on their casting decisions in the future!

I kind of doubt this will end up being the case, though. Either the protest will be blamed not as a legitimate protest but as some sort of insanely powerful bullying organization (which is a bit of a turnabout from the "very small group" or "few pathetic individuals" who "won't make a difference" that we were made out to be before, but anyway-) OR... well, however Paramount decides to spin the cause of failure of this film, I guess.

Well, it's been a long ride since the winter of 2008. I'm glad to see you seem just as conflicted in your feelings on TLA's turnout as I feel (glad the studio won't be rewarded for its all around bad decisions, but regretful that this couldn't have been the GREAT experience it should've been all around!) Still, I can't deny that reading all the terrible reviews for it is.. kind of cathartic, at least.
