First of all-----salon. Second of all, yes it is a rundown of the occurrences of that day. But, then again, I'm sure the gentlemen that were there in the thick of it were all just lying like the families of the dead who "claim" that the administration blamed it on some ersatz internet video. And now claim "Video? What are you talking about? NOBODY ever said anything about a video. Susan Rice certainly never mentioned it." Right? Even funnier (not really) the author seems to think that faux news is some sort of conservative news network that still riles up a certain segment of America. It's now only slightly less BS that the rest of the msm.

Should Salon be preparing for the big blackout of the Oscars?

Perhaps if the movie was called "Hillary Clinton Is A Castrating Feminazi Who Reminds You Of Your Ex-Wife," it would have done a better job pulling in the target audience.

I'd get in line for a ticket to see that one right now.

It’s a great, true film.

This is simply the radical far-left trying to save a drowning Hillary.

wow, this chick is buggin’ big time. You’d think she would be all giddy the flick doesn’t seem to be doing well but it all venom and insults. Libs really are very angry unhappy people in general.

Salon aside, I’ve read elsewhere that the movie wasn’t really directed very well and what could have been a very good movie isn’t.

Anyone seen this movie and if so, whaddyathink?

It's up to $33 mil now, and has only been in the theaters 2 weeks.

Also, it's just now being expanded to more theaters and is taking in a respectable $3,000/theater.

It's also a Michael Bay film. There are certain people who generally like these types of movies that will not go near a Bay film because they consider him a horrible director.

The difference: the Left, which prides itself for being empathetic, can’t put away their political blinders long enough to identify with the military families.

There is no need to watch this movie. We all saw what happened on the news. We have further seen and read why it ended up the way that it did. Why would I feel the need to watch?

An Academy Award notwithstanding, Hillary is still going down.

” But as it stands, the movie is just a rundown of the events that happened that day in Benghazi,...”

So, in other words, it’s a factual depiction of what happened, which is what everyone wanted to know about.

“... and not some expose on how the administration dealt with it or anything like that.”

BECAUSE.... we already know that part.

Gadzooks-- These idiots at salon.com cannot get any facts right. The film is not a blockbuster but it is making money without a big dropoff. Must be word of mouth, eh?.

I understand the [possibly morbid] sense of impulsive “I can’t look away” voyeurism in stuff like this, but in the end it is still masochistic exercise that benefits no one with a real, thinking brain. Salon? Politico? National Review? HuffPo? NYT? and on and on and on over and over again. Masochistic indulgence to perverted bents in my book.

Took in $33 million so far... how is that audience “rejection”

It’s not supposed to be the next “Star Wars”

We need to get venue-counts of the number of African Americans (AKA: Blacks, to everyone OUTSIDE of Rio Linda) attending this film.

Ya’know...jessfurthe record.

Maybe Amanda, attended the viewing in her neighborhood theater in the Castro district and based it on that audience? (HA ha ha, even in Marin County it wouldn’t draw.) I believe it will be seen by many, even those who don’t want to be seen looking at it for political reasons.

It premiered in 4th place, and was 7th place last weekend, hard to say its a flop, especially considering last weekends snow certainly hit all movies totals.

I think its made about 32M or so, and cost 50M to make, so, certainly won’t be a financial flop, may not be biggest movie out there, but this woman’s claims are ludicrous after 2 weekends the numbers aren’t flop territory at all.

They got that part right.

Good movie, although I probably make it to the theater once a year (last time was probably American Sniper).

While exiting, somebody played for the leaving throngs (probably on a phone) an MP3 loop of Hitliary’s “what diff does it make” - what a hoot!
