Test.
Friends don't let friends sign up for premium cable.
Fortunately, we do not waste our money on the movie channels and in fact we are planning on getting rid of our satellite dish after my mother and step father no longer need it, they are the only ones that watch TV here. We'll just buy DVD's or rent movies.
Not an original premise, either. Abel Gance had the same idea (and did it much better) in his 1919 film "J'Accuse."
"In the film’s famous climax, the hero, a poet, develops the mystic power to call back the ghosts of the war dead (played by real soldiers from the front, many of whom died in battle shortly after appearing in the sequence) to accuse the living and demand to know the reason for their sacrifice. Gance’s use of rapid cutting, superimposition, masking, and a wildly-tracking camera accentuates the intensely emotional blending of camera actuality and poetic drama. The film was a spectacular hit throughout Europe, and Gance, hoping for an American success, took it across the Atlantic, where he presented it at a special screening in New York in 1921 for an appreciative audience that included D. W. Griffith..."

Horrible
This is horrific.
SO HORRIBLY POLITICAL and CRASS and UNCARING and EVIL.
LOL ... and, now, they're claiming that Bush cheated by falsely counting the votes!!!!!! HOW awful.
And, of course, the Anne Coulter look-alike is just as slutty and evil as one would expect.
The pathetic use of DNC talking points as if fact is just par for the course in this film. The Acting stank and the characterizations were all lame.
BUMP ....
this is horrible
I cancelled Showtime yesterday.
