The horror....the horror......

[tips up]

Nothing like the public speaking with their wallets.

I hope Depalma invested a lot of HIS money in this project.....

Meanwhile, how’s ‘Bella’ doing?

[svcw]

That much.

They must have counted the popcorn and Junior Mints in the gross as well.

Wait, it’ll be nominated for about 7 Academy Awards. They’ll do it just to bring it to your attention.

HAHAHAHA! Man! That really IS bad!

That is 1,708.00 per theater. Shoot, the popcorn cost more that that!

"De Palma's picture about US soldiers who rape a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, then kill her and her family...."

Well gee whiz... that just sounds like so much family fun and entertainment this Thanksgiving weekend. How about De Palma do a movie about a big time HOLLYWOOD record executive who lures a waitress/actress home to his mansion and then blows her face off point blank with a gun!

I love the continued reaction of the American public to these Code Pink flicks.

Makes you wonder about the validity of all these "polls" about opinions on the war the media is circulating.

What is reassuring to me is that either even the libs aren't flocking to see them either or there aren't nearly as many libs as we've been led to believe, what with all the dead, illegals and multiple-vote voters swelling the numbers in past elections.

If we can truly cut down on voter fraud, we just may find that this country isn't nearly as "50-50" as we have thought.

More winners at “Sundance” and Monaco?

[snip] The message movie was produced by NBA Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who insisted on deleting grisly images of Iraqi war casualties from the montage at the film's end. Cuban offered to sell the film back to De Palma at cost, but the director was too smart to go for that deal.

“Redacted" - which “could be the worst movie I've ever seen," said critic Michael Medved -took in just $25,628 in its opening weekend in 15 theaters, which means roughly 3,000 people saw it in the entire country. “This, despite an A-list director, a huge wave of publicity, high praise in the Times, The New Yorker, left-leaning sites like Salon, etc. A Joe Strummer documentary [of punk-rock band The Clash] playing in fewer theaters made more in its third week," e-mailed one cineaste. “Not even people who presumably agree with the movie's antiwar thesis made the effort to see it."

It will do baffo business in the Mideast, I’m sure.

Yes, it's probably a "limited opening".
But I had to double-check the article just to be sure there wasn't
some "decimal-point error"!

Well Done, DePalma and Mark Cuban!
As for Mr. Cuban, I guess it's not just OLD fools that are parted
from their money.

Entertainment Weekly gave Redacted a D+ on the basis of poor casting, poor dialogue and generally just being "too fake to be believed."
