there are two reasons it bombed, imo. the public relations were all wrong because it isn't in the least bit scary. and the bush bashing made it seem like a high schooler's script, with the overbearing leader named WALKER and the yellow and red terror warnings. my friends, who are extremely political, really didn't notice the bush bashing until i pointed it out.

but the more i have thought about it, the more i think that the bush bashing was the whole point of the movie and was done VERY POORLY...an infantile treatment of a much more complex problem. i have actually felt, looking back, that it was stupid.

if it hadn't been bush-bashing and night had focused on a REAL theme, it could have been a really good movie. as is, very amateurish.

First, it didn't bomb.

Second, the removal of the colors red and yellow, (both primary colors, btw), would make for some rather "blue" movies.

Grow up.
