Ping!
‘The Kingdom’ was antiwar? I remember some Freepers raving about it.
I haven’t been to a movie for years and hope this one plays in my community. I’ll check the link to see if there is any info on that. It said 165, so maybe it has already played here.
Hollywood is all about money, but ideology is extremely important. If financial sacrifices on the part of the investors and shareholders must be made to protect the orthodoxy from ideological deviationism and subversion of the equalitarian and inclusive notions that Hollywood loves so dearly, then so be it. They are only benighted investors and shareholders anyway, and not the educated, insightful elite. So they deserve to lose out on higher returns on their investments.(/sarcasm)
Let’s try to keep up the momentum with this movie.
Going to see it this weekend- the first time I’ve been to the movies since “Vanilla Sky”, the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I’ve had high school students construct better plots.
The 1st Amendment is not a suicide pact. ‘Rendition’, ‘Elah’, and all others of their ilk should be shut down, and anyone responsible for them should be arrested and tried for sedition.
It’s the Fall of the Hollywood Traitor movies.
Hmmm, how about a little thought experiment with that reviewer's smarmy little homily...
1. "...each with a child who is gay a necrophile. It watches as child and parent struggle with this issue until each realizes that it doesn't have to be an issue at all and that love will conquer all..."
2. "...each with a child who is gay a pederast. It watches as child and parent struggle with this issue until each realizes that it doesn't have to be an issue at all and that love will conquer all..."
3."...each with a child who is gay a practitioner of bestiality. It watches as child and parent struggle with this issue until each realizes that it doesn't have to be an issue at all and that love will conquer all..."
I think only an idiot would think “The Kingdom” was an anti-war movie.
Ideology is more important to producers and directors. They say it’s about money, but it’s not.
I don’t know the stat, but it’s long been exposed that a highly disproportionate number of R rated films are produced which consistently fail to break even. They’re made solely because sicko directors want their “vision” of whatever filth is foisted upon us.
An excellent showing in limited distribution will make it much more likely that theater owners will snap it up for wide distribution
Very interesting.
Can anyone who has seen this movie tell me if it’s appropriate for a 13yo?
I really want to see this movie!
Also, they have announced cities that the movie will open on November 16, 2007.
The number of cities for these dates will only increase or perhaps stay the same...
Important to get the word out about these cities...
