all...it was clear enough to those of us who know about the DRE Machines what they were getting at in the movie. So, I think they had to soft pedal the "throwing the elections" to try to get a "mainstream" audience.

Don't you think? I thought it was pretty hard hitting as it was and very plain about the culpability of the Voting Machine maker when after he's elected the company flies him around on their private plane before the inauguration.

Anyway...it was interesting...but I don't think most viewers will get it and it was heavy hitting enough that it just depressed me... The movie is too late to do any good...sadly. I felt it was Hollywood throwing a bone to those of us who've been on top of this since Selection 2000. Sort of a "We hear ya! We're thinking of ya!" When this movie should have been done before 2004 Selection or shortly after it.

I hope it gets more of an audience than it had tonight where I am in my Red State that has some Blue. Did you have a big crowd when you saw it in your theater? :shrug:
