In Reply to: Based on a book title by Abbie Hoffman... posted by Isis on January 21, 2002 at 09:00:09:
: Whose life is documented in "Steal this Movie". Plus, Hoffman was a socialist and literally wanted people to "Steal this Book", so same goes for "Steal this Movie", it's saying sneak into the movie. So, no go.
I know, I know... "Steal This Book", which has almost no direct relationship to the movie, and all that.
It was originally going to be called ABBIE!, which was the name of my dream Abbie Hoffman bio-pic and somehow always felt more right. Mine would have been as much about the myth as the man, however, as would be appropriate, in my opinion. It would have been much more influenced by "Revolution For The Hell Of It!" and less by "Letters To America".
