Someone needs to put out a *very controversial* movie about Bush b4 Nov
I know this might sound farfetched, but I was just thinking that we need to put something out there that would resonate with the masses. It would be great if a famous liberal director would create a factual, yet entertaining blockbuster movie that documented all the behind the scenes stuff that went on from the time Bush stole the White House to the illegal invasion in Iraq to now. The war scenes would, unfortunately, need to be very graphic in order to ensure that Americans got the point that war should be avoided. The movie would need to generate *a lot* of controversy--sort of like the Passion, to ensure that most Americans would be curious enough to watch. I'd be willing to donate money to help get the movie off the ground.

5. will it be released before November?
If so, that would be great! I saw his movie Canadian Bacon and I couldn't believe just how relevant the movie was to what is going on now.

3. You mean, aside from Michael Moore's Information 911?
Well, if Air America can maintain its numbers, and pull in new advertisers, it just might happen!

8. OK I just looked up Michael Moore's film....
I see that he is going to tie Bush to Bin Laden. It seems as though he is going to get into way too much detail--this is more of like a history lesson it seems.

I'd like a producer to just demonstrate the evil in Bush's character, by showing his actions. Maybe in the beginning of the movie, we could show a flash back of GWB during his AWOL days or something.

I'm just concerned that Moore's film will not appeal to the average American.

9. On the contrary...
It is being released summer - early fall at the latest - around the same time the 9/11 Commission's report is released. Average Americans will eat it up.

10. Sounds like a good plan, but..
I wonder if it will really reach the intended targets. I fear that a good portion of Middle America (the ones we're trying to reach) may dismiss it as anti-Bush Hollywood propaganda, and not set foot in theaters. We know the right-wingers and their enablers in the SCLM will certainly play that card. You never know though, not every Republican bows their knee to Bush.

11. Many that refuse to see it probably will vote for Bush no matter what
Edited on Sun Apr-04-04 06:57 PM by Democat
Remember, there are a lot of people on the right that will vote for Bush because they are told to by Fox, no matter what he does.
