took some vacation last week with some "sheeple" friends of mine, who are totally detached from the news and the reality of the security challenges facing this country in the post 9-11 world. one observation I make regarding this film - the sheeple think this is some kind of "Saving Private Ryan" regarding the iraqi war and the war on terror. they view it as entertainment, rather then political propaganda. that sentiment may result in this film doing better at the boxoffice then we might think.
The other unfortunate thing is that Hollywood cleared the schedule (DodgeBall and WhiteChicks are the only 2 "main" films out this week), to give this maximum exposure.
