Saw the movie yesterday. Great job of discription of who the left really is. As good as any "Why We Fight" film of WWII.
I believe she grabbed ahold of her rosary (around her neck) as the detonator, and yelled “Hail Mary, full of grace!”
Boom.
Like most Zucker movies, sight gags were rampant. Anyone else notice the poppys all over the place in Afghanistan. Funny stuff.
One thing I noticed was the bucket labeled LARD on Michael Malone's desk. Hee hee.
“Yeah, this is one of those movies you’ll have to watch a few times to pick up all the background stuff”
I agree. There were so many things verbally and on the set that one would need to see the movie a couple of times to pick it all up.
I love the running joke about Michael Malone being “just a documentary maker.” I especially love the way his award turns out to be just a keychain.
I met Leslie Nielsen today at the Hollywood Collector’s Show and had a chance to tell him that I had seen the movie last night and thought it was hilarious. As the director said on KFI last night, he didn’t think Nielsen would vote for McCain.... (In retrospect I think it was so funny that the kids always brought him back to the story when “Grandpa” started to lose track every time that one young woman walked onto the scene in his stories.)
The scene in the church and the dust was such a shock. Quite a different tone from the rest of the movie, and it made a point very well.
“I imagine if you tell your Marxist college “perfessor” that you saw it, you will be flunked for that semester. LOL!”
Yeah, I’m going to college at Emerson (in Boston) right now, so I really loved the little song about indoctrination. So true...so true...
You’re so right - there’s so much to see. For instance when, in the background, a zombie lawyer was stumbling down the street chasing an ambulance!
Do you know if Michael Moore has issued a statement or commented on the movie?
I can’t wait for the DVD to memorize the movie.
Ask me anything about Team America.
No, and I've already heard what passing gas sounds like....
My only criticism is that so much was going on. I am still going to find out what nefarious means. Hilter singing Kumbya was a hoot. Or the awards ceremony which presented the Leni Riefenstahl Award.
I am definetely going to see it again.
Not exactly.
They were depicted in a movie made by Rosie O’Connell. You see the Christian terrorists, and then some of the steps taken in the aftermath.
I don’t want to spoil it for you, so that is all I will say. ;^)
That was a hoot!

If you want to see a bunch of artsy liberals trying to explain their
adulation for an “artiste”, you should have been at UCLA when they...
in so many words...had a retrospective of Riefenstahl’s films.
(I can’t remember the exact year, but I think it was something
like 2003, 2004 or 2005.)
It was hilarious to see liberal nutburger academics at UCLA try to
explain their adulation for THE woman some legal scholars say should
have been in the defendants’ box at The Nuremburg Tribunal.
And I did appreciate the mention (below) about the volumes Leni contributed
to Hitler’s library.
Hitler’s Forgotten Library

I also discovered books from the controversial filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl—
two on the Berlin Olympics and an eight-volume set of the complete works
of the nineteenth-century German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte
in a rare first edition. Given that Hitler had charged Riefenstahl
with filming the Olympic Games, the presence of the first two volumes
was understandable; the Fichte was more puzzling.
When I called on Riefenstahl, who lives outside Munich and had just
marked her hundredth birthday, she referred me to her published memoirs,
in which she devotes a chapter to the Fichte volumes. According to that account, in the spring of 1933 the thirty-year-old
filmmaker approached Hitler about the plight of several Jewish friends.
“I have great esteem for you as an artist, you have a rare talent,”
Hitler replied, according to Riefenstahl. “But I cannot discuss
the Jewish problem with you.”
Mortified by his rebuke (Riefenstahl says she felt herself go faint),
she later sought to make amends by sending Hitler the Fichte.
Bound in white leather with gold embossing, the books bear the inscription
“Meinem lieben Führer in tiefster Verehrung [’To my dear Führer with
deepest admiration’], Leni Riefenstahl.”
