I guess I'll avoid it. As I'll avoid any DePalma film, past (such as the Criterion Edition Sisters DVD) or future I might have been tempted to patronize.

Just a question:::

What if you bought your ticket, watched about 30 min of the movie and went to management demanding your money back? You could tell them you had no idea it was an anti- American film. If you knew they showed crap like that you never would have bought a ticket.

It would take up a seat in the theater, cause the manager some grief,( esp if about 100 people did it), and maybe get them to turn the film down next time. Remember Gibson barely found anybody to back his "Passion" film. He had to back it himself.

I've never tried to get my money back before, what do you think the odds are?

The proof that our Marines are not as De Palma has depicted them in this movie is that he is still alive and kicking! People as amoral as the caricatures in his film would have fragged his Democrat Ass as soon as the reports on its focus were released. Lucky for him they are not as he thinks.

I saw a promo/review. Looks like casting was done in a bathhouse. Gay-O-Rama. Cleary a story by people with no clue of military culture, yet self righteously bigoted towards it.

At Cuban's blogspot (blogmaverick.com) his number one topic is O'Reilly, of course.

One thing he says against O'Reilly: The people who take you literally took it upon themselves to call my businesses with bomb threats, threaten employees, myself and others with physical harm and wish every manor of death, injury and illness on us all.

"Manor of Death"? Was that an Agatha Christie novel?

which portrays the Marine Corps, one of the finest organizations ever assembled by human beings, portrays the U.S. Marine Corps, as corrupt, vicious, racist killers and rapists ... (snip) ...

Nothing new to see here when it comes to how Hollyweird perceives the Marine Corps. Compare and contrast with "American Beauty" in which the Marine next-door neighbor was portrayed as a Nazi-worshiping, murderous, self-loathing closeted homosexual ...

I read the review. I don't think I will see the film.

Does anyone deny the below happened:

Army Details Rape-Slaying of Iraqi Girl

By RYAN LENZ, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - American soldiers took turns raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, and one of them put a bullet through her head after killing her parents and 5-year-old sister, an Army investigator testified Monday.

The attack followed a session of whiskey drinking and card-playing during which five soldiers plotted the March 12 assault, criminal investigator Benjamin Bierce said.

He cited details from a sworn statement by Spc. James P. Barker in which the soldier told how he and his comrades practiced hitting golf balls before heading to the Iraqi teen’s home 250 yards from their post at a traffic checkpoint.

The testimony came on the second day of a hearing to determine whether the soldiers should stand trial in the rape-slaying of Abeer Qassim al-Janabi and the killing of her father, Qassim Hamza, her mother, Fikhriya Taha, and her sister, Hadeel Qassim Hamza, in the town of Mahmoudiya.

The rape and killings are among the worst in a series of cases of alleged misconduct by U.S. service members that have tarnished the American military.

Go see Beowulf instead. It is decidely NOT appropriate for young kids, and really deserves an “R” rating as opposed to a PG-13. But that said, Beowulf is simply outstanding, and nothing will send a better message to De Palma than a close to zero box take on his garbage.

$28.1 Million opening weekend box office take on Beowulf....

“Redacted” was redacted from my viewing list when I first heard of it.

Just watched “Amazing Grace”, which I highly recommend.

And the head Marine, who is the leading rapist and murderer, is a big fat guy, I mean, hugely out of shape, right - just the typical Marine (sarcastic) - Marines tend not to look like that - big fat guy, overhanging belly, cigar-chomping, loud-mouthed, sort of fair-complexion. His name is Rush.

Daniel Stewart Sherman as Specialist B.B. Rush in the film Redacted.

Yeah the movie’s lousy, but Medved ain’t much better for endorsing and fund raising for Eric Hogue to challenge a long-standing and strong conservative in my district for CONgress!!! Besides Hogue is WIERD!!! (It’s no wonder he’s tryin desperately to get out of the talk host business!!!)(politics:”show business for the unsightly!”)

His name is Rush...a bit "on the nose" as Frasier Crane might say - and the left likes to think of itself as being intellectually superior, as being nuanced and subtle in its analysis of what ails us......

I heard him reviewing this movie. I have never heard Medved so upset ... ever in all the years I have listened to him. To think that this will be used by our enemy to recruit terrorists.

Debbie Schlussel has also panned the work. She and Michael Medved are both Jewish movie critics and they both hated it.
